Song Qiao didn’t bother with her too much and was ready to leave, but she noticed Zuo Yuqing, who had approached them unknowingly and was now only a few steps away, and stopped in her tracks.
Zuo Yuqing glanced at the girl, who immediately acted as if she had been caught doing something wrong, quickly lowered her head, and walked up beside Zuo Yuqing, calling out, "Sister Yuqing."
"Xiaoyi, what are you doing?" Zuo Yuqing’s voice was very pleasant, and because she had sung many songs before, it sounded to others
like they were listening to a beautiful piece of music.
"Sister Yuqing, I..." The girl named Xiaoyi’s face turned slightly red, perhaps out of embarrassment. She spoke with indignation but did not forget to glare at Song Qiao, seemingly blaming her for everything.
Song Qiao felt completely innocent; she hadn’t done anything today yet was inexplicably warned, and that girl had taken up her defense.
More importantly, the girl was barely in her teens, hardly looking twenty, and had initially approached her fiercely now seemed somewhat aggrieved. It made it seem as if Song Qiao had bullied her.
Song Qiao felt that she must have forgotten to check the lunar calendar before leaving the house today.
Zuo Yuqing turned to Song Qiao, her tone slightly apologetic, "I’m sorry, Miss Song, Xiaoyi has always been quite impulsive and troubled you. I am here to apologize on her behalf."
Song Qiao pursed her lips and gave a cool smile, saying, "If you can’t discipline your child properly, you should take them home and teach them well. If they provoke someone they shouldn’t, it will be too late for regrets!"
She indeed knew she should speak kindly, but thinking that this matter involved Lu Jingchen and Zuo Yuqing, making her seem like a mistress, even with her usual high standards and composure, Song Qiao could no longer pretend to be the good person.
Sometimes, one really should play the villain; otherwise, people truly think she’s easy to bully.
Zuo Yuqing didn’t expect Song Qiao to speak , and her expression turned somewhat ugly. She moved her lips and after a while finally managed to say, "This incident was indeed Xiaoyi’s fault. She did it for my sake, so whatever inappropriate things she said to Miss Song, I hope Miss Song can forgive her."
Song Qiao couldn’t help but want to laugh upon hearing this address. Everyone knew that she, Song Qiao, was Lu Jingchen’s wife, and in An City, hardly a few people were unaware. Many directly addressed her as Mrs. Lu.
Now, coming to Zuo Yuqing, she directly called her Miss Song, which made it seem as if she wasn’t Lu Jingchen’s wife. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel※fire.net
Song Qiao was extremely frustrated. The other woman was her romantic rival, after all. If she responded harshly, what if others said she judged people by her own petty standards and labeled her as a villainous side character?
But if she didn’t retort, others might say she was petty just because someone got a title wrong, and isn’t that pettiness?
After clenching her teeth, Song Qiao took a deep breath and after a while said, "Since that’s the case, if there’s nothing else, I won’t disturb Miss Zuo from disciplining the young lady and I’ll take my leave first."
With that, Song Qiao lifted her foot intending to head towards the resting area, fearing that if she stayed any longer, she might lose control of her temper.
As she passed by Zuo Yuqing, her arm was suddenly grabbed, and with today’s short-sleeved shirt, she could feel the silky sensation. Hearing the word "careful" suddenly, beside her, the girl exclaimed, "Sister Yuqing."
The next second, Song Qiao felt something hit her waist, something like a trolley, causing her to grit her teeth from the pain, followed by a dizzying spell, and she was pulled to the ground, her head spinning.
She couldn’t help but curse inwardly as she felt pain like she had been pricked by something in her palm, nearly drawing a sharp intake of breath from the severity of the pain—and most importantly, her waist hurt terribly.
Sounds of heavy objects colliding clattered to her ears, and Song Qiao slightly opened her eyes only to see Zuo Yuqing’s pale face in front of her, and Zuo Yuqing also couldn’t help but groan.
By the time Song Qiao realized that she was lying on top of Zuo Yuqing, she tried to get up quickly, but a sharp pain spread from her waist.
She glanced to the side, only to see it was an out-of-control automatic cart that had crashed into them, which had now collided with a pile of miscellaneous items a short distance away, causing quite a chaos on the scene.
Bearing the sharp pain in her waist, she got up, the girl also having fallen to the ground, and Zuo Yuqing at this moment looked extremely pale, appearing to be hurt as she sucked in a breath.
Just as Song Qiao was about to ask if Zuo Yuqing was alright, she heard footsteps and before she knew it, her arm was grabbed strongly and she was tossed aside.
Once again thrown aside, Song Qiao only felt her waist was about to break, the pain almost bringing tears to her eyes. But before she could even recover from the pain, she heard a familiar deep voice, Lu Jingchen’s voice, "Yuqing, are you alright?"
The very next second Song Qiao fainted, losing consciousness, she finally managed to smile, her smile filled with sarcasm.
Because she saw Lu Jingchen, anxious, embracing Zuo Yuqing.
