Chapter 720: Chapter 720
Gu Nuan had fully grasped her father-in-law’s thoughts. So, when Xiao Jianming’s gaze fell on her with implied meaning, Gu Nuan simply looked calmly at the cup of tea in her hands.
Xiao Jianming said to Yang Zhilin, "You said you want to be my daughter-in-law."
"Yes," Yang Zhilin replied, loud and proud, in front of Gu Nuan.
A mistress could be so brazenly righteous in front of a wife only because she had the world’s biggest demon backing her—money.
Gu Nuan suddenly remembered how she had unexpectedly returned home back then, and then met Yebai; wasn’t it because a woman, just like Yang Zhilin, had flaunted her money in front of her and yelled at her?
Coincidentally, Gu Nuan’s ex-boyfriend, to be precise, had not been seduced away by a mistress, but by money.
Having learned a lesson as deep as blood, naturally, once bitten, twice shy. Could she, Gu Nuan, allow herself to be humiliated again?
She then heard Xiao Jianming provocatively toss a sentence at her, "What do you think?"
Did he want to see how she would deal with the mistress?
Gu Nuan said, "Previously, this Miss Yang sent me many text messages, saying that she wanted me to kneel before her." Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝔫𝔢𝔱
Right, kneel down! A flicker passed through Yang Zhilin’s eyes.
Gu Nuan continued, "Yebai told her, she would have to kneel before me within three days."
Uncle Tang, for some reason, felt like bursting into laughter when he heard Gu Nuan say this.
Yang Zhilin’s face suddenly turned unsightly, and with a curl of her lip, she said to Xiao Jianming, "Uncle, say, how ridiculous she is to suggest I should kneel before her, do you think it’s possible?"
Xiao Jianming certainly wanted to enjoy the drama, so how could he intervene in their fight? He simply became speechless at the side.
Seeing Xiao Jianming not taking a stance, Yang Zhilin thought, could it be that Xiao Jianming really believed that she might kneel before Gu Nuan? Certainly, because Xiao Jianming was not aware of her strengths.
Therefore, she had to show Xiao Jianming her powerful side and prove her capability. Turning to Gu Nuan, Yang Zhilin raised her voice, "I advise you to immediately take back what you just said, and then kneel before this Miss, perhaps, I might spare you. Otherwise, with those presumptuous words you just said—"
"What, did I break the law with my words just now? The thing is, I was only quoting your words; not a single one was mine."
Indeed, even the statement that Yang Zhilin had to kneel within three days was said by Yebai, not Gu Nuan.
If anyone were to be arrested, it would be Yebai going to jail.
Yang Zhilin was choked by her words; how could she possibly expect her Brother Yebai to go to jail?
Gu Nuan cleared her throat gently, saying, "Please think carefully before you speak, Miss Yang."
Just like the text message she sent last time, which directly admitted that she was the mistress.
Obviously, Yang Zhilin did not have such awareness and continued to be haughty; this had always been, of course, her best strategy.
"Let me tell you, Grandma Xiao really likes me, uncle likes me a lot, and Brother Yebai was mine to begin with. Your marriage with Brother Yebai was forced by you. The Xiao family will never accept you, and your marriage is invalid. Soon, you’ll be kicked out of the Xiao family!"
The mistress tells the wife, hurry, you’re about to be kicked out of the house; kneel before me.
Gu Nuan, when she distilled Miss Yang’s words in her mind and came up with the above translation, suddenly felt an urge to burst into uncontrollable laughter.
This Miss Yang was not just naive; Gu Nuan almost wondered whether Yang Zhilin had ever truly loved anyone, or understood what male-female emotions were all about.
