CEO Wants To Marry Me After Divorce -

Chapter 1554: 1554. It is purely just out of personal politeness and self-cultivation.
Seeing Xue Lan walk up to her and put down the million-dollar genuine leather handbag on the side, the price tag that was astronomical for her seemed to mock her poverty.
"Don’t think that by ingratiating yourself with me, I will allow you to marry into our Gu family."
Although Xia Yumo had amnesia, she wasn’t stupid. From Xue Lan’s condescending and contemptuous gaze upon entering the house, she knew that Xue Lan didn’t like her.
In her current memory, she had never had any interactions with Xue Lan before.
But she could guess that during the many years she had been in love with Gu Junhang, she must have had countless confrontations with Xue Lan.
That’s why she immediately went straight to the point when she appeared in front of her, without any pleasantries or pretenses.
Although she couldn’t remember her past interactions with Xue Lan, she had watched many interviews of her because she was Gu Junhang’s mother.
Apart from showing off her talents, she revealed her unabashed snobbery in every word and action.
For someone like her, when choosing a daughter-in-law, she would naturally opt for someone who matched the Gu family in terms of social and economic status, and would certainly look down on a poor, unprivileged orphan like herself.
Although she had a crush on Gu Junhang, that crush only amounted to the admiration and worship a small fan had for an idol for Xia Yumo at this moment.
Xue Lan’s gaze at her was full of irony and disdain, but it didn’t make her feel too self-conscious.
She hadn’t eaten the Gu family’s rice, and wasn’t raised by Xue Lan either. Even though she was poor, she held her head high in front of Xue Lan.
She smiled and looked straight into Xue Lan’s arrogant eyes, saying with a smile:
"Mrs. Gu, I speak to you politely and gently, purely out of personal politeness and upbringing. I don’t know that even this can be interpreted as ingratiating myself. I wonder what kind of demeanor Mrs. Gu has when she doesn’t try to please others, so I can learn from it."
"You..."
Xue Lan’s complexion turned red due to Xia Yumo’s words.
She even heard the obvious sarcasm in Xia Yumo’s seemingly gentle tone.
Her being polite and well-mannered was described as ingratiating, so if Xue Lan didn’t ingratiate herself with others, would that mean her attitude when speaking was impolite and lacking in upbringing?
Xue Lan was angered and stared at Xia Yumo’s slightly curved lips, unable to refute her with a word.
"Heh! I didn’t expect that after lying in bed for a year, your mouth is still so sharp."
It took a while before Xue Lan finally choked out these words in response to Xia Yumo’s irritating smile.
"Thank you."
Pretending not to hear the sarcasm in Xue Lan’s tone, Xia Yumo calmly accepted the "compliment" hidden in her words.
Before, Xue Lan had kept her distance from Xia Yumo because she was afraid of Gu Junhang’s threat to give up the Gu family, and she even endured her son wanting to marry this little vixen.
But now it was different. Gu Huanan was in prison, and the mistress and her son had been behaving themselves recently, keeping out of her sight for a long time.
Her son was now in charge of the Gu family, and the matter was settled. What was there to threaten her now?
Could her own son really drive her, his birth mother, out of the Gu family?
Wouldn’t they be afraid of people ridiculing them if they said that out loud?
Xue Lan understood the key points before she came, so now she had no psychological burden in mocking Xia Yumo.
"You should know what I’m here to say this time, so I don’t need to emphasize it, right?"
