Chapter 53: An Uninvited Guest
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Due to the successful promotion of Exquisite Eye, not only did Song Wei convert from an intern to a full-time employee, but she also received a generous bonus.
When she walked out of the company, she was feeling especially happy.
From now on, ‘Song Xiaocao’ didn’t have to live on such a tight budget anymore!
Furthermore, the first thing she did when she got off work was to ‘spend a fortune’ to take a taxi home.
However, this happy mood did not last long.
As soon as she entered the house, she heard a delicate-sounding girl speak.
“Uncle Dong, who grows China Roses at home? How old-fashioned! Lilies are still nobler in comparison. You guys can remove all these red and green flowers. I want to plant some purple lilies…”
Uncle Dong replied respectfully, “Miss Gu, our Madam likes China Roses. She planted all these. I have no right to change them.”
The woman snorted disdainfully. “Tsk, her taste is really terrible. Brother Mingxu is so pitiful. He has to marry a woman he doesn’t love.”
Even Uncle Dong, who followed a sense of propriety strictly at all times, couldn’t help but speak up at this moment. “Miss Gu, you can’t spout nonsense. Young Master and Madam have a very good relationship.”
“Good? Is that possible?” Gu Yiyao sneered, her smile full of contempt. “That woman and her ex-boyfriend have an ambiguous relationship that everyone knows about. Brother Mingxu would never like a woman with such a tattered reputation like her.”
Uncle Dong frowned. “Miss Gu, you have a deep misunderstanding about our Madam. She is not such a person. Please show some respect.”
“Uncle Dong, you’re being fierce to me.” Gu Yiyao frowned and pouted, looking like she was about to cry. “You bully me like this once Brother Mingxu isn’t around. Brother Mingxu can’t even bear to raise his voice at me. He has always been super nice and gentle to me. If you treat me like this, I’m going to lodge a complaint in front of him!”
Song Wei watched the show by the door for a long time. In the end, she could not bear to see Uncle Dong be put in a difficult position so she walked in.
“Go complain to him. I want to see how well Young Master Jiang treats you.”
Gu Yiyao’s attribute label was already displayed in the open: Attention wh*re, childish, and insensible.
In her previous life, Gu Yiyao had also appeared before, but Song Wei wasn’t bothered.
Even though she kept boasting about her close and special relationship with Jiang Mingxu the whole time, Song Wei did not give this woman a single look in her previous life.
That was because she only had Yan Zhixing in her eyes at that time. She did not care how many women Jiang Mingxu had by his side.
However, things were different in this life. Coveting her husband? Song Wei would definitely make her cry her way out of the house the way she stirred up havoc when she entered.
Gu Yiyao glanced at Song Wei, her eyes flashing with arrogance and strong hostility. “You’re that Song Wei who threw herself at her ex-boyfriend and was mocked by everyone?”
“I didn’t expect to be so famous.” Song Wei didn’t beat around the bush either and glared right back at her. “But I really don’t know who you are. Maybe because you’re not famous, there’s less gossip about you.”
Gu Yiyao was obviously upset by Song Wei’s words. She sprang up from the sofa immediately. “You dare to talk to me like this? Brother Mingxu treats me very carefully. Who do you think you are?”
Hearing this description from Gu Yiyao, Song Wei couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “From what you’re saying, Jiang Mingxu should have married you instead then?”
Song Wei’s words seemed to have stabbed Gu Yiyao’s heart. She defended herself anxiously, “Although I didn’t marry Brother Mingxu, in his heart, I will always be the most special one. Even if you are his wife, you can only move aside!”
Song Wei sighed, turned around, and told the maid Xiao Tao, “Xiao Tao, throw Miss Gu’s luggage out.”
Gu Yiyao quickly picked up her luggage to protect it. “How dare you?!”
Song Wei smiled. “Why wouldn’t I dare? This is my house. I have the final say. Uncle Dong, please let Miss Gu out.”
Uncle Dong nodded respectfully, then reached out, and gestured to Gu Yiyao. “Miss Gu, I can arrange another hotel accommodation for you.”
Gu Yiyao looked at Uncle Dong in shock. “Uncle Dong! Are you really helping her to chase me away?! As expected, without Brother Mingxu around, you all think that I’m easy to bully!”
Song Wei looked at her calmly. “Even if Jiang Mingxu was here, I would still bully you.”
“You!” Gu Yiyao knew that she had met with a tough opponent. If she continued to argue, she would only be ‘invited’ out by the Jiang family’s servants.
Hence, she changed the topic. “I can’t fall into your trap. I want to wait here until Brother Mingxu returns. I want him to stand up for me. How dare you treat me like this? I’m going to make him divorce you!”
