Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Stop arguing, Madam.”
Qiao Xi rubbed her knuckles and looked at the woman who had fallen to the ground in a sorry state. She smiled lightly and said in a gentle voice, “Madam, I really want to help you! Weren’t you very afraid of ghosts just now? If I beat you up, you’ll realize that I’m even more terrifying than ghosts. This way, you won’t be afraid of ghosts anymore!
“Madam, how do you feel? You’re not afraid anymore, right?”
The woman on the ground was so angry that her face turned red. She held her red and swollen face. This woman looked weak, but the punch just now almost knocked out her teeth.
At this moment, her son reacted as well. He pointed at Qiao Xi and roared furiously. “You actually dare hit my mother? I won’t…”
“You won’t let me off?” Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows and raised her fist. Since she had already hit this woman, she couldn’t let her son off. She couldn’t be biased.
“I can take down two good-for-nothings like you with a single punch. Do you have the ability to say such harsh words to me?” As she spoke, Qiao Xi gave the young man a heavy punch.
At this moment, Qiao Xi, who looked gentle, was like a demon from h.e.l.l in their eyes. She was really more terrifying than a ghost.
Qiao Xi wiped her hands as if she despised making any physical contact with them.
The middle-aged woman was unwilling to give up and roared angrily, “This is the Lu family’s residence, not Longwan Residential! Y-You actually dare to beat me up in the Lu family’s residence?!”
“Yes, I do. What’s wrong?” Qiao Xi blinked as if she didn’t care.
“You clearly know that this is the Lu family’s residence, yet you still dare to attack? My husband is the general manager of the Lu family’s branch company. You’ll definitely pay the price for hitting me!”
Qiao Xi had an indifferent expression. “Oh.”
The middle-aged woman flew into a rage and pointed at Qiao Xi while shouting, “Let me tell you, help me up immediately and kneel on the floor to beg for my forgiveness. Otherwise—”
Before she could finish speaking, Qiao Xi spoke first, “Shut up, you idiot!”
The surroundings were silent for a few seconds. The woman’s face turned red as she roared with all her might, “What? Say that again? How dare you insult your elders?”
The corners of Qiao Xi’s mouth curled up in disdain. “I really didn’t expect you to have such a strange hobby. Since you want to hear it, I’ll say it again. I said… you’re an idiot!”
“Ah!!!” The middle-aged woman shouted at the top of her voice, “I’m from the Lu family! I’m Gu Zheng’s aunt. You’re actually scolding me? A junior like you is actually scolding me?”
This middle-aged woman was the wife of Lu Qingyun’s cousin. According to seniority, Gu Zheng should indeed call this woman ‘Aunt,’ but this did not mean anything! This woman shouldn’t have spoken ill of Gu Zheng and Eldest Miss Lu behind their backs!
“You just said that Gu Zheng isn’t from the Lu family, and now you’re saying that you’re Gu Zheng’s aunt. Don’t you think it’s very contradictory?” Qiao Xi’s tone suddenly turned cold.
“You want to use your status as an elder to suppress me? Do you think you’re worthy? If you can’t control your mouth, I’ll help you sew it up so that you won’t gossip behind my back!”
The middle-aged woman moved back in horror. She was afraid and angry. “No matter what, I’m Gu Zheng’s elder. Y-You actually dare to… Alright! I won’t let you off!”
A trace of impatience flashed past Qiao Xi’s eyes. “So, you’re unconvinced?” She shook her neck, cracked her knuckles, and smiled sweetly at the two of them.
Gu Zheng’s aunt? How laughable!
Had anyone admitted that Gu Zheng was from the Lu family all these years? In the past, Gu Zheng was thought to be an illegitimate child, so the Lu family had reason to target him. Now that his ident.i.ty had been confirmed, the Lu family was still unwilling to accept him and chose to make do with the situation.
In that case…
The flames of rage in Qiao Xi’s heart surged. She had long wanted to beat these two idiots up, but Gu Zheng was present just now, so she could not attack. Coincidentally, Gu Zheng was not around now, so she could fight to her heart’s content.
That woman never expected the seemingly weak Mrs. Gu to be so violent.
A few minutes later, Qiao Xi withdrew her hands again and smiled indifferently, but her tone was very impatient. “Quickly disappear from my sight!”
The two of them hurriedly stood up and staggered. They were about to escape when they suddenly saw something. Their eyes were filled with horror, and their legs seemed to not listen to them anymore.
Qiao Xi frowned. “What’s wrong? Are you trying to scare me? Do you think I’m as timid as you two pieces of trash?”
The woman’s mouth was wide open as her entire body trembled in fear. She raised her trembling hand and pointed behind Qiao Xi. “Back there, he…”
Qiao Xi had already lost her patience. They were pretending to be frightened and thinking of scaring her? That was impossible! She wanted to see what was behind her. If there was nothing, she would beat them up again!
