Song Wei was already seated in the dining room eating dinner while Gu Yiyao sat opposite her out of spite. She didn’t touch a single dish.
Du Xin brought the soup directly into the dining room and spoke to Song Wei with a face full of smiles. “Weiwei, you’ve lost weight in the few days I haven’t seen you. Are you not used to the food here?”
Song Wei didn’t even raise her head and focused on eating her fish. “There is a professional chef cooking according to my preference here every day. How could I not be used to the food?”
Lost weight? She was probably blind.
During these few days in the Jiang mansion, she had been served good food and drinks. She even felt like she had become rounder, but Du Xin could actually turn a blind eye and say that she had lost weight.
Du Xin was obviously a little embarra.s.sed. She knew that Song Wei was a tough nut to crack, so she turned her gaze around and saw Gu Yiyao—whose face was black and filled with resentment—beside her.
“This is?” Du Xin was a little surprised.
This was because they had always heard that Jiang Mingxu was an unsociable person. It was difficult not to think that something was up when a person dressed exquisitely like a doll appeared in this house all of a sudden.
Gu Yiyao deliberately stood up and introduced herself with poise. “Auntie, my name is Gu Yiyao. I’m the most important woman in Brother Mingxu’s heart.”
Song Wei was drinking porridge and choked instantly.
Du Xin was obviously a little surprised, too. “Who did you say you are?”
“What’s wrong? Is there a problem? Sometimes, people who get married might not necessarily have married the person they like the most.” Speaking up to this point, Gu Yiyao looked at Song Wei meaningfully.
Not only did Du Xin not feel that the situation was very awkward at this moment, but her eyes also lit up. “Weiwei… I didn’t hear you mention it before either. So Young Master Jiang has such a woman by his side, too. You guys… are living together?”
Song Hui became excited when she heard this. The dejected look on her face earlier instantly brightened up.
“Previously, I even believed that Young Master Jiang treats you pretty well. Turns out, you still have to bear with him keeping a mistress in his golden house. How virtuous.”
Although Gu Yiyao had been mistaken as a mistress, she did not get angry at all. Instead, she started laughing gleefully because of the words ‘keeping a mistress in his golden house’.
Du Xin pretended to roll her eyes at Song Hui in rebuke. “Why are you talking to your older sister like this? Mingxu is someone with status and good looks. It’s not unusual for him to have a few other women around. How can Weiwei possibly kick up a fuss with him?”
“…”
“On the other hand, I’m actually envious of Weiwei’s mental state. She’s even more open-minded than me, a person in her fifties.” Du Xin seemed to be praising Song Wei, but in fact, every word was mocking her.
Mocking her for having a mistress knocking on her door right after she got married. She was even more tolerant for putting up with this than people in their fifties.
Song Wei raised her head and looked at Du Xin. The smile at the corners of her lips was cold and sharp, and there was already a hint of menace in her gaze. “No, I’m not as strong-minded as you. Clearly, you’re the third party who broke up a marriage but can always act as if you’re the legal wife. I don’t have such thick skin at all.”
Song Hui exploded the moment she heard that. “Song Wei! Watch your mouth.”
However, Du Xin stopped her with a sorrowful expression. “Hui’er, forget it. Let’s go. We’ll look for someone else to think of a way to resolve the matter regarding the family ball… Weiwei has too deep a misunderstanding about me.”
“Did you guys come for the marriage alliance ball of the five great families?” Gu Yiyao captured the main point of their conversation precisely. The corners of her lips immediately curved into a self-satisfied smile. “I happen to have an invitation letter and can bring along a friend. It might be more useful for you people to beg me than Song Wei.”
Du Xin’s eyes lit up. “Really? Hui’er’s dream is to attend this ball. If you can help, I’ll be so grateful!”
Gu Yiyao crossed her arms and nodded. Then, she glanced at Song Wei. “I can help you guys, but the prerequisite is that you have to teach her a lesson for me. Aren’t you her family?
“As long as you can make her bow and apologize to me, I’ll immediately give you the secondary card for the invitation to the ball.”
