Chapter 1275: Overbearing
Their Zhou Family had acc.u.mulated good luck for several lifetimes for her, Gao Qiqi, to be willing to marry down to this tiny Zhou Family.
Was it possible for the Zhou Family to not curry favor with her and treat her shabbily?
As for Pu Ruolan that b*tch, wasn’t it just that she had gotten lucky and now had her relative, the Marquis of Jiayuan’s Estate, as her backing?
Otherwise, she would only be gnawing on chaff and eating pickled vegetables in a rundown temple right now!
“You! You! You actually dare!” Qiao Wenxiu felt even more aggrieved for her daughter when she saw Gao Qiqi’s supercilious behavior.
If it weren’t for her mother-in-law who made a terrible scene back then to force her daughter Ruolan to get married to the Zhou Family, how would there be so many d*mned nuisances today.
She felt more disheartened as she dwelled upon it. She was a useless oaf—it was her fault, it was all her fault.
She didn’t protect her daughter properly. She was cowardly and useless. Her fear of opposing them culminated into this situation today.
“Zhou Yuan you little b.a.s.t.a.r.d! You still dare bring her to our Qiao Family!” Second Uncle Qiao felt like his head was about to explode from fury. If it weren’t for the many guests present, he would have launched his fists at Zhou Yuan, this little b.a.s.t.a.r.d, and beat him to death on the spot.
Zhou Yuan was still a bit intimidated by Qiao Zhongbang and Second Uncle Qiao, so he hid behind Gao Qiqi upon hearing this.
Gao Qiqi puffed up her chest and gave a vigorous wave.
Subsequently, two robust body cultivators walked out from behind them. They crossed their arms and looked scornfully down at the Qiao Family.
These two body cultivators were the new bodyguards that the Gao Family had hired. Their strength was two layers higher than the body cultivators that had injured Second Uncle Qiao and Xiao Qiao before.
The Gao Family’s two body cultivators subdued the crowd of madams and n.o.ble ladies just by walking up and crossing their thick, muscular arms that screamed of explosiveness. They backed away repeatedly, apprehensive that they would get caught up in the crossfire later.
Gao Qiqi gave Pu Ruolan a jeering look. “Pu Ruolan, don’t be so ungrateful! What are you guys standing there for, take her away.”
Qiao Wenxiu gripped her daughter’s arm in panic and shrieked, “You dare! Don’t touch my daughter! Don’t touch her!”
Gao Qiqi strolled up to Pu Ruolan and raised her head in an overbearing and imperious fas.h.i.+on. She gave her a glance out of the corner of her eye. “The marquis’s estate can back you up for a day, but will they do so for a lifetime? Pu Ruolan, I advise you to stop before going too far. Don’t make it so that both you and Mother-in-Law and them don’t have a way out.”
Pu Ruolan flared up and raised her hand abruptly into a slapping motion.
Yet Zhou Yuan’s mom started screeching, “What are you doing? How do I have such a narrow-minded daughter-in-law? Look at Qiqi. She, the treasured daughter of the Gao Family, doesn’t mind sharing a husband with you when she has a clean record. What are you acting all pretentious there for!”
*Slap!* Gao Qiqi slapped away Pu Ruolan’s hand and struck back fiercely at the latter’s face.
Pu Ruolan covered her slapped cheek with her pet.i.te hand, her eyes reddening at once.
Gao Qiqi shook her wrists as she sn.i.g.g.e.red tauntingly, “You coward, go ahead and slap. But I see that you don’t have the guts! How could a fatherless trash like you dream of competing with me? The fact that I, Gao Qiqi, am being charitable and allowing you to enter the Zhou Family’s doors again is your honor, you ungrateful b*tch!”
“Do it, come slap me! Pu Ruolan, I suppose you don’t dare to!”
