Ye Qingzi seethed with indignation, her face flushing crimson with anger. “Indeed, there’s no need to retract your generosity,” she retorted, her words laced with bitterness.
Gu Jin’s remark insinuated as though Gu Yang found the gift distasteful and was rejecting it out of disdain—an implication that only stoked Ye Qingzi’s fury further.
Did no one in Jin City perceive Gu Yang’s address as a slight?
Suppressing her ire, Ye Qingzi glanced towards Xiao Yize, seeking solace or support, but found him wholly engrossed in Gu Jin, a subtle smile gracing his lips. He didn’t spare her a second glance.
Feeling unjustly treated and utterly alone, Ye Qingzi struggled to contain her emotions. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
However, to her surprise, Gu Yang had no intention of accepting the gift. Taking hold of Gu Jin’s arm, she shook her head. “But there’s only one gift. It wouldn’t be fair for my sister and me to share it. Auntie Ye, please keep it for yourself.”
With her sister’s reluctance to accept the gift, Gu Yang resolved to follow suit.
Ruan Xueling furrowed her brow, puzzled by Ye Qingzi’s singular offering. “Miss Ye, did you only prepare one gift?”
The guests, aware of the dual birthday celebration, had each prepared two presents—one for Gu Jin and another for Gu Yang.
Ye Qingzi inwardly sneered at her oversight. Had she known Gu Yang’s identity, she wouldn’t have bothered with a gift at all!
Gifting her love rival, Gu Jin? Unthinkable!
Ye Qingzi offered no explanation to Ruan Xueling, swiftly stowing away the brooch. Her demeanor grew icier, her posture exuding haughtiness. “It seems rumors aren’t always reliable. I hadn’t anticipated that the refined Gu Yang of the Gu family would display such lack of decorum, much like Gu Jin. In that case, I see no reason to present this gift!”
Ye Qingzi anticipated that by expressing her displeasure towards the sisters, Gu Zhaoming and his wife would intervene, prompting apologies from the Gu siblings.
As Ye Qingzi’s words reverberated throughout the room, the atmosphere shifted, expressions darkening in response.
Ruan Xueling’s smile vanished, replaced by a stern expression. “Miss Ye, what do you mean? Today marks the joint celebration of Yangyang and Jin’s birthdays. Everyone has come bearing two gifts.”
“Yangyang and Jin are sisters, sharing both joys and sorrows. Declining a gift alone isn’t an issue. Moreover, how have my daughters offended you? Arguing with the younger generation is hardly appropriate, wouldn’t you agree?”
“Younger generation?” Ye Qingzi’s eyes widened in disbelief, feeling as though she might explode. Could this person be any more oblivious?
Who could mistake her for being of the same generation as Gu Yang and the others? She simply favored a more mature appearance!
Unable to contain her frustration any longer, Ye Qingzi blurted out angrily, “I’m only four years older than them!” freёnovelkiss.com
Her declaration plunged the room into a stunned silence, with many individuals wearing expressions of discomfort.
Yet, in that moment, the realization dawned upon them, finally understanding the source of Ye Qingzi’s ire.
Ruan Xueling’s surprise was evident. “You’re only in your early twenties, yet you appear so… mature? Perhaps you’ve neglected self-care. It’s no wonder Yangyang and the others misunderstood.”
The weight of the gathered gazes intensified Ye Qingzi’s discomfort, prompting her to wish she could disappear.
In that moment, she couldn’t help but entertain doubts about her appearance. Did her makeup and attire truly convey such an older impression?
“Since you’re not here to celebrate my daughters’ birthday, there’s no need for you to stay,” Gu Zhaoming interjected, his voice carrying a steely undertone.
The Gu family’s butler promptly stepped forward. “Miss Ye, if you would please follow me.”
Ye Qingzi stared at Gu Zhaoming incredulously. She hadn’t anticipated such dismissiveness from a mere family in Jin City!
Furrowing her brow, she began, “Chairman Gu, I believe your daughters…”
Gu Zhaoming’s gaze turned icy as he cut her off. “Miss Ye, as someone of the same generation, it’s not your place to lecture my daughters.”
It dawned on everyone that Ye Qingzi harbored a longstanding acquaintance with both Gu Yang and Gu Jin, indicating an underlying conflict between them.
Evidently, Ye Qingzi sought to leverage Gu Zhaoming’s authority to discipline the sisters.
However, dealing with Gu Zhaoming, renowned for his unwavering devotion to his daughters, proved a formidable task. The recent downfall of the Wang family served as a stark reminder—crossing Gu Zhaoming and Zhu Qi, who similarly doted on their daughters, led to dire consequences.
