The Chief Minister's Ferocious Wife

Chapter 277 - 277 You Are Simply Shameless!

277 You Are Simply Shameless!

Yuan Hui’s hands were clenched at her sides.

Zhao Chuchu chuckled lightly and said, “Of course, you can’t take back what you said, but do you have evidence that Huihui said this? There is no proof of what you say, and if you don’t have evidence, then you are gossiping. I’ve always thought a decent young lady would be careful with her words, but today I’ve learned a lot.”

“Who are you? What right do you have to talk to us here? This is a poetry and literature gathering, not somewhere you can act crazy because you have good looks!” The girl in green stepped forward and stared at Chuchu with contempt.

Zhao Chuchu replied, “Thank you for complimenting me on my good looks.”

The girl in green. “…”

She was so angry that she couldn’t say anything.

“Miss, is this how your parents taught you in the past?” she added.

“My parents died early, but thank you for reminding me. At least I know the evidence speaks for itself. At least I won’t frame someone just because I didn’t have parents to teach me, and I won’t sneer at people for no reason,” Chuchu replied.

“How dare you! Do you know who you’re talking to? Where are the servants of the Hong clan? Throw this person of unknown origin out!” The girl in green was getting furious.

They were already a bit annoyed at Zhao Chuchu’s retort.

Yuan Hui looked at them with great joy.

She stood in front of Zhao Chuchu, saying, “What? Can’t I bring my friend here? When did the poetry and literature gathering become your one-man show? How dare you kick people out so easily? If I remember correctly, the poetry and literature gathering was organized by all the major clans in the capital of Guangqing Province!”

“You…”

“What? Are you not convinced? If I remember correctly, your clan doesn’t seem qualified to hold a poetry and literature gathering.”

“Yuan Hui!”

“It can’t be helped. So few families are qualified to host the poetry and literature gathering.”

Several girls went black in the face because of Yuan Hui’s words.

That’s why they hated Yuan Hui so much. To them, Yuan Hui was only slightly wealthier than them but lacked talent. So how dare she look down on them?

After all, she was just a vulgar merchant girl without any talent. What qualifications did she have to be superior to them?

Unfortunately, they only dared to curse in their hearts and not spread it publicly.

They feared that the Yuan clan would deliberately cause trouble for them and that their families would end up in tragedy.

Miss Du smiled and said, “Miss Yuan, they are young and have no ill intentions. Please forgive them. It will not be worth it if we hurt our friendship over a trivial matter.”

“My sister is younger than the majority of people here. So why don’t you be more tolerant instead of throwing her out? Although everyone has their standard, do you think it’s okay if the standard varies from person to person?” Yuan Hui sneered back.

The smile on Miss Du’s face froze for a moment and quickly returned to normal.

She looked at Zhao Chuchu. “Then I will make amends to this sister on behalf of all the sisters, and I ask for your forgiveness.”

Yuan Hui spoke for Zhao Chuchu, saying, “Then I refuse your apology on her behalf.”

Miss Du couldn’t laugh anymore.

The girl in green was furious. “Sister Du was kind enough to apologize, but you want to cross everyone. Yuan Hui, don’t think I’m afraid of you just because you’re the eldest daughter of the Yuan clan! I tell you, you are the most uneducated and unskilled girl in the entire Guangqing Province.”

“Alas, what can I do then? The Yuan clan is super rich. So even if I don’t have a bit of talent, I can still live comfortably for the rest of my life and have more jewelry and beautiful clothes than you.”

“You…you are simply shameless!”

“You can’t be shameless if you don’t have money.”

The girl in green nearly fell backward at her words.

“What’s all the commotion here about?”

At that moment, a smoky male voice was heard.

The next thing Zhao Chuchu noticed was that the girl who had been so tough and was sneering a moment ago had suddenly become shy. She quietly looked toward the source of the sound.

Zhao Chuchu turned around, only to see a handsome man in white waving a fan and walking toward them.

Everywhere he went, he attracted the adoring eyes of young girls.

And he also smiled deliberately at them, giving off charismatic vibes.

Zhao Chuchu. “…”

He looked like a decent man, but no matter how much powder he put on, he could not hide his pale face, an overt result of too much sex.

Zhao Chuchu did not know how many female confidantes he had in private.

Seeing Zhao Chuchu staring at the man, Yuan Hui frowned slightly and immediately pulled her away. “Although this man has some talents, he is a notorious flirt. He has slept with many good girls, including married women!”

Zhao Chuchu. “…”

It was more exciting than she expected.

“What’s his name?”

“He is the young master of the Hong clan, Hong Xulin.”

The Hong clan?

“Isn’t there also a member of the Hong clan in the scroll painting you chose before?”

“Well, Third Mr. Hong is different from his big brother and could be considered a decent man.”

Recalling what Xie Heng said, Zhao Chuchu did not say anything more to Yuan Hui.

Decent or not, they would know it after they tested it.

“Mr. Hong.” Miss Du saw Hong Xulin come over, her small face slightly red and her body reaching up to salute.

“Miss Du.” Hong Xulin smiled. “I notice what appears to be an argument over here from a distance. What is going on?”

“It was just some small talk between girls. We were a little excited, but there was no argument. Miss Yuan can also testify. Miss Yuan, right?”

...

Hearing this, Hong Xulin glanced at Yuan Hui and frowned slightly. “Huihui, you’re having a temper tantrum again?”

The corners of Yuan Hui’s mouth twitched. “Which eye of yours saw that I was having a temper tantrum? You’ve only just arrived and heard some words from someone. You’re too much of a fence-sitter, aren’t you?”

Hong Xulin froze, seemingly not expecting Yuan Hui to talk to him like this, and could not react for a while.

Miss Du immediately looked like she had said the wrong thing. “Mr. Hong misunderstood me. That’s not what I mean. Everyone knows that Miss Yuan is frank. So how could I blame her for a trifle?”

Zhao Chuchu said, “Miss Du was very eloquent, but don’t speak again next time.”

Miss Du’s expression stiffened.

Zhao Chuchu continued, “From the moment Huihui and I stepped in here, we have been maliciously humiliated and abused. It was only a couple of retorts, and it turned out that Huihui had a big temper. I want to ask, is Huihui your ancestor? Does she have to spoil you in every way?”

Everyone became silent.

Zhao Chuchu glanced over the crowd and finally gazed at Hong Xulin’s face. She said, “Sir, seeing is believing, but sometimes what you see is not always true. Therefore, learning to distinguish is the most important thing.”

Hong Xulin was about to get angry before he saw Zhao Chuchu’s appearance. Amazed at her beauty, his temper immediately disappeared.

“Miss, you have taught me a lesson. I was a bit bewildered and misunderstood Huihui.” Hong Xulin laughed lightly, then bowed toward Yuan Hui. “Huihui, I’m sorry.”

...

“It’s okay. I’m not that mean,” Yuan Hui replied lightly.

Miss Du’s face looked awkward.
