Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 967: Disrespectful

Chapter 967: Disrespectful

When they reached the venue, Yue Yue gave Mu Chenyan a look, 'Is this really a place to go on a date?'         

    

Mu Chenyan looked at the grand but low-key affair of this charity auction and touched her earring saying, "It's a trendy place for dating."     

Yue Yue gave her a disdainful look and rolled her eyes at her, 'You don't even change face when lying.'     

"It's a talent I'm proud of," said Mu Chenyan. Then she smiled sweetly, took Yue Yue's hand, and wrapped it around her arm, saying, "Since you're my date tonight, act like it. Also, did I mention that you're looking gorgeous?"     

Yue Yue shuddered at her words but didn't let go of her arm. It wasn't the first time she had to hang around with this girlfriend in this manner. She might have been reserved and awkward before but now, this was very natural and normal.     

'Then are you happy to have such a beautiful date tonight?'     

Mu Chenyan smiled seeing Yue Yue not hiding in the face of her shameless compliments and instead was teasing back, she was genuinely happy about it. "What happy? I'm super proud right now!"     

Yue Yue pinched Mu Chenyan and walked inside with her. Who asked her to find a domineering and shameless best friend? She was indeed a perfect match for Yue Yue's personality.      

The ushers directed the two ladies toward the private rooms on the second floor. But before they walked up, Mu Chenyan wanted to show Yue Yue around seeing how this little girlfriend of hers was curious about everything here. How could she not be? It wasn't Yue Yue's first time being at a charity auction but this one was different. She could feel it already before she even entered the venue and after entering, the feeling only intensified.     

This was a grand venue and even the identities of the guests seemed grand. It wasn't the kind of auction where stars were invited to hype up. This was really a place where aristocrats and families with deep roots gathered.     

Mu Chenyan took out the wooden box she had taken from Elder Xiang's safe and offered it to the organizers of the auction. Then she took Yue Yue to look around. No one stopped her even when they walked around backstage so leisurely as if taking a walk in their garden. Mu Chenyan patiently introduced everything related to this auction.     

"I thought I saw wrong but it really is you."     

Mu Chenyan looked up at the woman who spoke. Her expression didn't change at all and she faced the woman before her with a distant look. Yue Yue being closest to Mu Chenyan could see that she didn't even bother putting on the polite smile that she offered everyone. And that meant this woman was not someone Mu Chenyan was willing to even pretend for.     

"Mu Chenyan," said the woman. "Aren't you gonna greet your aunt now? Don't you know how to respect your elders?"     

Mu Chenyan snorted, "You've got a thick face to actually dare say this to me. I respect my elders. You... I don't consider you an elder, why should I respect you?"     

"Haven't you always been good at pretense?" said the old woman. "You always wear the face of the polite and well-behaved lady in front of your uncle. He should see this face of yours to understand what kind of a person you are."     

Mu Chenyan snorted, "Do you think I'm pretending in front of him? I only give him face by pretending to be cordial with you. Don't take yourself so seriously. Because I have never taken you seriously."     

Yue Yue was surprised to hear Mu Chenyan talking like this. She had never seen Mu Chenyan being this disrespectful to someone.      

"Mu Chenyan, don't be so proud. Don't forget who I am. Do you think you can speak to me however you want?"     

"Mrs. Gou, the only reason you're invited here is because you married into the Gou family. Do you think you're a big shot? I have the right to be proud. Even if I'm a useless person, I was still born in the prestigious Mu family with Gou family being my maternal family. You just married into a prestigious family. Between the two of us, you're better at pretending. Haven't you been pretending all these years to hide how you managed to enter the door of the Gou family?"     

After saying those words, Mu Chenyan took Yue Yue away. She didn't want to talk to this woman anymore. If she wasn't married to her Uncle Gou, Mu Chenyan wouldn't even spare her a glance. She was the reason Mu Chenyan didn't like going to her maternal family and kept her distance as much as possible.      

She had a good relationship with everyone in the Gou family except for this woman whom she particularly despised. It wasn't because she was a nobody before marrying into Gou family. It was because of her cheap ways. She was always trying to stir up troubles within the family to disrupt the harmony between siblings and cousins.      

'You really hate her,' commented Yue Yue when they sat down inside the VIP private room upstairs.      

Mu Chenyan picked up a glass of water to drink and only spoke after drinking water, "Hate her? I don't have that much time to waste on her. I'd even forget her existence if she wasn't always trying to show up in front of me to find her sense of existence. It's tragic how a woman like her is the mother of my cousins. I'm glad they didn't inherit anything from their mother or they'd be too stupid. I'd really disown such cousins if they were stupid like their mother."     

'Why do I think there is more to it?' asked Yue Yue. 'You aren't someone to get worked up because of stupid people. There had to be a reason why she is so displeasing to you.'     

Mu Chenyan sighed, "Our Yue is getting good at observation."
