Chapter 627: Chapter 628: Tomorrow She Will Dare To Treat You Like This_1 Chapter 627: Chapter 628: Tomorrow She Will Dare To Treat You Like This_1 “What do you think you are? How dare you come here and make trouble, thinking that just because I speak kindly and appear benevolent, I’m not to be taken seriously? Just because our surname was once Qiao? I haven’t so easily forgotten the suffering that my mother and I endured in the Qiao family, nor have I forgotten the shameless things our aunt did to my mother and me! If you had kept to yourself and not flaunted yourself before me, I might have spared you, but you insist on tempting fate by provoking me. What is it? In just a couple of years, has aunt forgotten all the lessons she should have learned?”

Muniang’s tone grew colder with every word, like a ghost from hell, scaring Mrs. Ji to the point she fell to the ground with a thud.

Muniang sneered inwardly, Mrs. Ji really thought too highly of herself. If she couldn’t secure Mrs. Ji’s help this time, she wouldn’t be able to handle Zhao Danggui? Was she really so desperate that she would humble herself to assist Qiao Lianhua marry Zhao Jianghe?

Did Mrs. Ji overestimate herself or underestimate Muniang?

Qiao Lianhua hurriedly went to help, but Muniang just scoffed, “After guarding yourself for so many years and still not married, no one wants you, so you’ve set your sights on me? If I hadn’t come today, my mother would be manipulated by you, and my father would be fooled by you—this marriage would’ve probably been settled. I don’t know whether you’re becoming more suicidal or just getting bolder.”

Qiao Lianhua’s eyes immediately reddened, and she began to cry pitifully, “Sister, how can you treat our mother like this? She is, after all, your elder. Even if she kept something from you beforehand, you shouldn’t be like this.”

While crying, she still leaned towards Zhao Jianghe’s embrace, but he dodged her like the plague, not daring to take on this hot mess.

Qiao Lianhua bit her lip secretly. She had always been confident in her charm and had been seducing Zhao Jianghe ever since she entered the door, but why was this man as unresponsive as wood, not the least bit tender towards women!?

If Zhao Jianghe had really taken a liking to her at this moment, his word would be more valuable than that of anyone else in the room.

“Qiao Lianhua, spare us your feigned innocence here, this isn’t the Qiao family, and no one here pities you,” Muniang said coldly.

Qiao Lianhua’s figure stiffened, and she raised her eyes to look around the room. Indeed, none gave her a sympathetic look; Zhao Danggui’s was naturally scornful and mocking, Mrs. Lin of the Zhao family was expressionless, and even Zhao Jianghe’s gaze towards her was full of avoidance, infuriating her to no end.

Zhao Song hastily asked Muniang, “What’s going on here, really?”

Muniang gave Qiao Lianhua and Mrs. Ji a disdainful glance before saying, “Father, you need not concern yourself with these two women. Indeed, I intend to help find a suitable girl for my elder brother, but it certainly won’t be this one. They must have inadvertently learned of my plans and seized the opportunity to stir up trouble.”

Mr. Zhao’s heart tightened and then eased. Looking at Mrs. Ji and her daughter, his gaze became undisguised loathing. He had not expected that there could be such shameless people capable of telling such lies; the moment the girl had walked in, he had felt that Muniang’s judgment couldn’t be this bad—she was clearly a bitch!

But he was also relieved that Muniang had arrived in time; otherwise, he, being in the dark, might have really settled this marriage, and then regret would be the death of him!

“Hmph! They truly think they can deceive our Zhao family and treat us like fools! If my son were to marry such a woman, it would be the greatest misfortune for our Zhao family!” Zhao Song pointed at Mrs. Ji and her daughter, cursing.

Seizing the opportunity, Zhao Danggui mocked, “Oh my, look who it is. It turns out a loser from the countryside remains a loser. Their shamelessness is thicker than the city walls—having the audacity to commit such acts. Marrying a woman like that, it’s not just a matter of losing face for our Zhao family, it would ruin us for three generations!”

Wang Rongrong, standing next to Zhao Danggui, didn’t know where her sense of achievement came from, but she straightened her spine by three inches, looking down on Qiao Lianhua with a smug expression, as if mocking her poverty, even though her own family had to live on the mercy of the Zhao family for survival. They were not much better themselves. She truly didn’t know who could laugh at whom.

Mrs. Ji’s anger surged within her, and she smacked her bottom as she stood up, pointing at Zhao Song’s nose and cursing, “What now? You look down on us, don’t you? I’ll have you know, your son has already touched my daughter today. Whether you want to marry her or not, you have no choice but to do so!”

At these words, Zhao Jianghe got a fright and hurriedly said, “You can’t just say anything you like, aunty! This is the first time I’ve met your daughter today. I don’t even know her, so what do you mean I touched her?”

Mrs. Ji sneered, “Didn’t touch her? You hugged her as soon as you entered the door, and everyone in the room isn’t blind! Who do you think you can fool?”

Zhao Jianghe nearly ran out of breath, and Zhao Song, even angrier, slammed the table and stood up, “Nonsense! It was you who pushed your daughter into Jianghe’s arms. How can you say Jianghe hugged her?!”

Mrs. Ji went all out, not caring about face anymore, and shouted at the top of her voice, “Anyway, he touched her. The morals of our Daqian Dynasty are strict. A girl cannot be touched even by a fingertip, let alone being embraced. Are you trying to deny responsibility now?!”

Zhao Song’s face turned red with anger. Not one to be easily fooled or at a loss for words since he had been in business for many years and had dealt with all sorts of people, he struggled to know how to respond to such shameless arguments from a woman like Mrs. Ji.

Zhao Danggui was tough as well, lashing out, “Your own daughter is a little bitch, throwing herself into men’s arms without hesitation, and now you dare to blame others. You have no shame, you vile creature!”

Mrs. Ji was so angry she wanted to hit someone, but recalling Muniang’s skills, she restrained herself. Provoking Zhao Danggui was one thing, but if Muniang struck, it wouldn’t just be about bones being broken. She reckoned she wouldn’t be able to get out of bed for months.

Muniang approached Mrs. Ji and said coldly, “You know me well, Auntie. Even if Jianghe had slept with Qiao Lianhua, let alone hug her, I could still toss Qiao Lianhua out like a worn-out shoe. Don’t you pull such futile tricks in front of me and show your skill with an ax at the door of an ax-maker. Get as far away from me as you can before I lay my hands on you.”

Mrs. Ji turned pale with fear, well acquainted with Qiao Muniang’s methods. Now that she was thriving in Qinghua City, Mrs. Ji’s tricks for throwing tantrums at the villagers in Tupo Village held no threat in front of Qiao Muniang. The gap between them was not what it used to be. Muniang could crush her as effortlessly as crushing an ant.

Qiao Lianhua, completely terrified, hurriedly pulled Mrs. Ji and ran out, “Mother, let’s hurry and go!”

Zhao Danggui watched the mother and daughter flee in panic, feeling a burst of satisfaction but still deliberately said, “Father, just look at how heartless that woman is, being so disrespectful to her own elder. If she dares to treat her own aunt like this today, she will surely dare to do the same to you tomorrow!”
