Monday, an ordinary day at the Gu family.
Qi Yuefeng came back from buying groceries. The night before, her husband said he won’t be coming home for lunch at noon.
Since she was eating by herself, she thought of cooking some light-flavored foods.
Qingjiu, that lass, had already returned to the troops and called to say everything’s fine the day before. She even said she was taking part in some competitions. If she won she could enter some advanced training that Qi Yuefeng wasn’t too clear about.
In any case, whatever it was, she wouldn’t be able to see her daughter for two years.
At the thought of her child, Qi Yuefeng smiled.
When she reached her apartment building, she saw a luxurious car parked by the roadside.
That car was black, but Qi Yuefeng didn’t recognize the brand.
But just looking at the curves and the luster of the surface, it clearly felt different from all the other cars that had been to her place before.
It was clearly more upscale!
And next to the car stood a man in black clothes and sunglasses. He stood there and his aura looked like he was filming a movie or something.
Such commotion was never seen in a small place like theirs. She thought they were relatives of their neighbors.
As she walked into the mini-mart, she saw Chen Yanhong winking at her. “Yuefeng, someone incredible came to your house. It’s a woman!”
Although Qi Yuefeng wasn’t much fond of this gossipy Chen Yanhong either, she had to maintain harmony with her neighbor on the surface. When she heard the person was here for her, Qi Yuefeng smiled and asked in surprise, “She’s visiting our family?”
“Yes, yes.” Chen Yanhong was curious. But the words she next said merited a beating. “Aye, Yuefeng, that woman wore branded items of clothing from head to toe. She’s of different stature. Is she a mistress your husband Gu Hong?”
“What nonsense are you spewing?”
Qi Yuefeng shook with fury at hearing this. “Chen Yanhong, you can’t make irresponsible remarks about some things!”
Not wishing to argue further with Chen Yanhong, she briskly went up the stairs.
“Chey. I bet she is!”
Chen Yanhong’s lips curled disdainfully. She recalled the indescribably beautiful woman she saw earlier who was adorned with jewels all over.
A sense of inferiority involuntarily surged inside of her.
What followed next was a fit of manic jealousy!
Who knows, she might be a mistress who a rich man kept under the sheets!
‘What is she so smug about? Chey!’
Never mind Chen Yanhong’s sour words, though.
When Qi Yuefeng heard her, she felt panicked for some reason. But she had faith in her husband.
When she got upstairs, Qi Yuefeng saw a woman standing at her door.
That woman wore a brown mink leather coat. It’s not a color that anyone could look good in, but this woman somehow looked classy and elegant in it.
Detecting a movement behind her, that woman slowly turned around.
‘What a beautiful rich woman!’
Qi Yuefeng couldn’t help exclaiming in her heart.
Although they were both women, it was clear the other party had a noble aura; she wore red lipstick on her fair face, and with her sunglasses on, she gave off an aloof and intimidating vibe.
She exuded gracefulness and poise from head to toe.
In contrast to that, in her simple and casual down jacket, Qi Yuefeng just appeared like an ordinary woman. The comparison was really too obvious.
She didn’t go so far as to feel inferior, but she felt astonished.
The rich woman sized Qi Yuefeng up, before revealing a blatantly disdainful look.
As if she was forcing herself to speak to her, she said, “I am Tan Yalan, Gu Qingjiu’s biological mother.”
Qi Yuefeng’s face turned deathly pale in an instant.
