“You still know that I’m your auntie?” Gu Fenlan lowered her voice and sneered. “I’m going to call your mother and ask her what I did wrong to the Dai Family! I’ve been supporting the family and the business. As soon as you graduated, I asked your uncle to get you into Huo Corporation with his connections! I’ve always been kind to you, right? I think of you whenever there’s good food and good clothes, right? You’ve certainly got your ways, but only that girl, Tian Tian, is stupid enough to believe your words. Did you really come here because you’re bored? Or do you have another purpose? Huh?”
In the face of Gu Fenlan’s aggressive attitude, Dai Shiqing’s face stiffened, and the side of her face hurt.
“Auntie, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Ha, stop pretending!”Gu Fenlan said disdainfully. “Shiqing, your words can only deceive little girls like Tian Tian, who haven’t experienced much in the world. If you open your eyes wide and take a look, which of the relatives present today can’t see through your little tricks? Don’t pretend with me, or else you won’t even be a relative! You’re very popular outside, and you’re indeed very outstanding! Is that why you think that in the whole world, only Yunque is worthy of you?”
“I…”
Gu Fenlan interrupted her with a cold expression, “But do you think you’re worthy of him? Yunque is the person in charge of the Huo Family. Even us elders have to live by his instructions! Your uncle isn’t very capable, and I don’t want to play dirty tricks. We just want to live a good life! If you want to court death and you’re tired of living, don’t tell everyone that you’re Tiantian’s cousin! Even if you’re going to die, don’t drag us down with you! We can’t afford it!”
With that, she glared at Dai Shiqing and turned to leave, looking at her as if she was looking at trash.
Dai Shiqing’s face burned. She rubbed her cheeks and a trace of grievance flashed across her eyes.
At the same time, she also felt resentment toward Gu Fenlan.
She and Gu Fenlan were family, yet she was helping an outsider to deal with her! How could she not compare to that little girl who had barely been weaned yet? She was so weak. How could such a person stand together with Huo Yunque in the future?
“Okay…”
Dai Shiqing took a deep breath and said, “If you won’t help me, I will do it on my own!”
It never crossed her mind that a truly strong man didn’t actually need his woman to do anything for him. What he enjoyed was the feeling of being able to give his woman a comfortable life and pamper her like a princess for the rest of her life.
Dai Shiqing would probably never understand this.
That was because she had never reached that level.
…
“Uncle.”
After Gu Fenlan warned Dai Shiqing, she did not go back. Instead, she went to look for Grandfather Huo.
There was a hint of restraint in her smile as she explained, “I’m sorry, Shiqing said she wanted to come here and open her eyes, and Tiantian kept pestering me about it, that’s why I brought her here. I didn’t expect her to have such thoughts and even treat Miss Song…”
She couldn’t continue. Even if she didn’t do it, Gu Fenlan felt embarrassed.
How could a girl do such a thing? If Huo Yunque didn’t have a fiancée, Dai Shiqing would have raised both hands in agreement if she wanted to pursue Huo Yunque.
But…
Everyone could see that Huo Yunque doted on the girl like she was a treasure, and Grandfather Huo completely treated her as one of his own.
How could she not give up when things were already like this? If she continued to make things difficult for Song Yaoyao, what could she gain other than embarrassment upon herself?
