263 Meeting Jia Ling
Cui Xuan grabbed Jia Ling’s sleeve tightly and looked at Uncle Li pitifully. Cui Ya had the same expression.
Uncle Li naturally could not withstand the pleading of the two little girls. He squatted down with a troubled expression, wanting to pat the heads of the two little girls.
“Your brother is undergoing treatment now. Don’t disturb him, okay?”
Before Uncle Li could put his hand on them, Jia Ling pulled the two little girls back with disdain.
“Uncle Li, even Old Master Cui will blame you if he finds out that you’re so biased towards outsiders.”
Jia Ling’s tone was threatening. She looked at Uncle Li fiercely, raised her head, and puffed out her chest.
It was fine if she was humble when facing Old Master Cui, but why should she be humble when facing Uncle Li?
“Madam, Master has instructed that no one is to disturb Miss Gu while she’s undergoing treatment.”
“I’m not an outsider. Ah Mai is also my son. How can I not be anxious about him being treated by an unknown woman? Perhaps she’s eyeing our Cui Family’s money and wants to use this to climb up the social ladder. Whether she has the ability or not is another matter.”
When Uncle Li heard Jia Ling question Gu Man, he felt a little displeased for some reason. However, he did not show it on his face. Instead, he stood firmly in front of the door. “Madam, I’m sorry. This is Master’s arrangement. Forgive me for not being able to comply.”
“Do you really think you’re something? I’m the wife of the head of the Cui Family! How dare you stop me? Do you believe that I’ll get the Old Master to fire you tomorrow?!”
Jia Ling’s tone was also a little ruthless. She raised her hand and was about to hit Uncle Li.
Facing Jia Ling’s rudeness, Uncle Li frowned and felt troubled.
If he resisted, Jia Ling would probably annoy Old Master Cui again, so Uncle Li could only close his eyes and wait for Jia Ling’s slap.
In the house, Gu Man put the last silver needle into her bag and looked up at the door.
She closed her eyes and came back to her senses. She raised her feet and walked out of the door.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the door, she saw a woman with two girls raising her hand high, preparing to hit Uncle Li.
Gu Man rushed forward without thinking and held Jia Ling’s wrist tightly. She looked at her coldly. “Who are you? Why did you attack Uncle Li?”
Jia Ling looked at the beautiful face of the girl in front of her and the aura around her. She was even more outstanding than she was back then.
She could not help but feel jealous. She felt the pain in her wrist and shook off her hand.
“Who am I? You, an outsider, have the cheek to ask me who I am?”
Hearing the other party’s menacing tone, Gu Man searched her memory for a moment but did not have any impression of this person. She did not speak and stood in front of Uncle Li, waiting for Jia Ling to continue.
Uncle Li looked at the pet.i.te figure in front of him. His face was no longer as serious as before. He slowly smiled. “Miss Gu Man, this is Old Master Cui’s daughter-in-law.”
Hearing the ident.i.ty of the person opposite her, Gu Man raised her eyebrows slightly. How did such an arrogant and domineering person give birth to such a cute child like Ah Mai?
Gu Man looked down again. When she saw the two girls, they were staring at her hatefully.
It was obvious that they had not met before. At a glance, Gu Man knew that Jia Ling must have said something to these two little girls before this, which was why they hated her so much.
It seemed like this person had already said a lot of bad things about her before they met.
“Do I need you to introduce me? Besides, who is she? Is she worthy of knowing my ident.i.ty?”
Jia Ling sized Gu Man up. Although she had to admit that other than being a little haggard, Gu Man had an impeccable appearance, this did not stop Jia Ling from looking down on her.
“She looks unpresentable. I wonder how the Old Master took a fancy to her.”
With that, she pushed Gu Man into the room without waiting for her to respond.
When she saw Ah Mai sleeping inside, she pointed at Gu Man and shouted, “You b*tch, what did you do to Ah Mai? Call the Old Master over quickly. I must expose this b*tch’s true colors!”
