Humiliated, Chen Qiuqiu became furious. “You!”
Ye Yao continued, “You’re thinking very far ahead, but have you ever thought that although Xiang Jingtian hasn’t been in the Xiang family all these years, his situation will be reported to the Xiang family? His family must know that he was in a relationship with you. In addition, Xiang Jingtian had been in a bad mental state recently, and you’re the culprit behind everything. Do you think the Xiang family will accept you?
How could the Xiang family accept that their future heir’s wife had been someone else’s kept woman? This kind of background that can potentially become gossip would never be accepted by a wealthy family. For example, Yang Ya’s marriage to Qin Guodong was presented as though it was a first marriage for her. Wealthy families cared about their reputation!
Chen Qiuqiu’s thoughts were exposed. She flew into a rage of humiliation. “It’s none of your business! Xiang Jingtian and I are truly in love. His family will understand me!”
“Aiyo…” Ye Yao replied in a sarcastic tone. “True love, did you say? Was it true love when you left Xiang Jingtian for money? Your definition of true love is rather unique.”
“You!” Chen Qiuqiu was furious. She didn’t know who Ye Yao was and why her words were so harsh!
Ye Yao sneered and placed the bank card back into Chen Qiuqiu’s hand.
“Alright, take the money and leave. From now on, you have nothing to do with
Xiang Jingtian. Don’t embarrass yourself again.” As she spoke, she patted Xiang Jingtian’s shoulder. “The next time you reject a girl, be more determined. I’ll teach you this time. Take it as repayment for the favor you did me at the school gate.”
With that, Ye Yao pushed Xiang Jingtian along and gestured for him to leave quickly. It was better to run away quickly when confronted by such a shameless woman.
Xiang Jingtian also understood Ye Yao’s intention and immediately slipped away. He really didn’t know how to deal with Chen Qiuqiu. Those beautiful feelings from the past were no longer there, but he couldn’t bring himself to be ruthless to her. However, he was also very annoyed by Chen Qiuqiu’s pestering, so he had to leave quickly.
Seeing that Xiang Jingtian had left, Ye Yao clapped her hands and walked towards the washroom. When she came out, she saw Chen Qiuqiu standing at the door and glaring at her fiercely. Ye Yao pretended not to see her and went to wash her hands.
Chen Qiuqiu said sinisterly, “Ye Yao, I know you. I’m warning you, don’t poke your nose into other people’s business. Don’t think that you can do whatever you want just because you have Gao Qiao’s protection. Gao Qiao is just a playboy and has only been interested in you for a few days. You can be ostentatious now, but when Gao Qiao doesn’t want you anymore, your downfall will be tragic! There are many people waiting to deal with you!’
“Is that so?” Ye Yao said casually. “If I can’t rely on Gao Qiao anymore, I’ll find someone else to rely on. I just realized that Xiang Jingtian has a good character. If I’m with him, he won’t abandon me in a few days like Gao Qiao. If I can maintain my loyalty to Xiang Jingtian, I believe he won’t abandon me.”
Ye Yao’s words hit Chen Qiuqiu’s sore spot. Her expression instantly turned ferocious. “Ye Yao! Are you shameless?! The person Xiang Jingtian loves is me! Who do you think you are?! Do you think you’re a heartthrob and any man you like will want to be with you! Ridiculous!”
Ye Yao brushed the water droplets off her hands and looked at Chen Qiuqiu with a faint smile. “I wonder who’s more laughable, losing a large forest for a little benefit. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Clearly, if you had held on for another month, the position of Madam Xiang would have been yours. At that point, you’d have everything. If I were you, I would regret it so much that my intestines would turn green.”
Chen Qiuqiu’s expression changed drastically. Everything Ye Yao said seemed to pierce her heart! In the past, she was with Xiang Jingtian because he was good-looking. Later on… she realized that good looks were useless. Other than satisfying her vanity at the beginning, it wouldn’t bring her anything. Compared to handsomeness, money appealed to her more.
Chen Qiuqiu gritted her teeth and looked at Ye Yao. “I don’t regret it! I’ve accompanied Xiang Jingtian for so many years. I know him the best. As long as I give in, he will return to my side!”
Ye Yao laughed. “Give in? I think you’re as giving as a pile of mud. Xiang Jingtian won’t change his mind!” For the first time, she realized that being brainy was really a good thing. Chen Qiuqiu wasn’t too brainy so she didn’t have any self-awareness at all.. Any ordinary girl wishing to marry into a wealthy family would meet with many obstacles, not to mention the fact that Chen Qiuqiu had abandoned Xiang Jingtian and was kept by an old man! But wait… to Huo Buyu, she herself was considered an ordinary girl too, right?
