Gu Xiang did not go to sleep. After taking a shower, she switched on her laptop and chatted with Bai Wei about work.
Meng Yan sent her a message all of a sudden. “Sis, are you asleep?”
Gu Xiang replied, “What’s up?”
Meng Yan said, “Why did you make Mom angry? She didn’t eat anything tonight. Sis, Mom is so nice, how can you make her angry?”
Gu Xiang was stunned for a long time before she remembered that her mother had called during the day to ask her for help.
Gu Xiang said, “What does her anger have to do with me? How did I make her angry.”
“Mom said so.” Meng Yan said in a righteous tone. “Sis, I know you are married now, but don’t forget, if not for my dad and mom, do you think you would have what you have today?”
Gu Xiang looked at the text sent by Meng Yan and she almost laughed from the anger. “Great! In that case I won’t get married! You can come and do it! It just happens that the family needs help now and you are the only daughter of the Meng family. You should also share the burden for your dad. When you marry Jiang Chi- you will definitely agree to any request from Mom, right?”
Meng Yan probably did not expect such a reply from Gu Xiang. If they wanted her to get married instead, she would surely refuse. She was also afraid that if she angered Gu Xiang that she would get a divorce. Then, if something happened to the Meng family, she would not be able to be the first mistress anymore…
Of course she was unwilling!
After a while, Meng Yan sent a message. “Sis, that’s not what I meant… I just wanted to say that Mom loves you very much too. If she asks you to do something for her, you should help her. We are all family. If you need something, our family will help you too, right?”
“You’re pretty good at playing the good guy huh!” Gu Xiang said. “It is no wonder Mom likes you so much.”
“…Nevermind. I don’t wish to talk to you anymore. Sis, you should call Mom to apologize soon.”
Meng Yan could sense that Gu Xiang was not easy to persuade so she gave up. Gu Xiang’s temper was as stinky and hard as rocks, and Meng Yan couldn’t stand her since she had met her.
…
Gu Xiang laughed mirthlessly when she saw Meng Yan’s text.
Seriously…
Some people really behave like such armchair quarterbacks.
When asked to get married, Gu Xiang had been unwilling. She had been afraid that she would have to sacrifice her own happiness for the Meng family. But now, it was even better to get married as she could do whatever that she pleased.
Gu Xiang looked at Meng Yan’s account. In frustration, she dragged her into the block list. That was the only way to calm the fury in her heart.
…
The next morning, Gu Xiang woke up early. Because of Meng Yan, she woke up from anger very early.
She wore an oversized shirt with track shoes and she walked out with her phone in hand. She was about to go for a run and then head to the store but she realized that Jiang Chi had not left yet. He was having breakfast.
He still looked picky as usual. “This is a little too salty.”
The helper looked apologetic. “I’m sorry, I’ll take note.”
He was a very picky person. When he ate, he could not even stand it if there was even a little too much salt. Everything had to be perfect.
When the helper saw Gu Xiang come out, she greeted her. “Good morning, Madam.”
Jiang Chi looked up at her. Although she was in an oversized t-shirt, her slim figure could still be discerned.
Gu Xiang said, “Morning.”
Then, her phone rang.
It was a call from her mother in an interrogatory tone. “Gu Xiang, did you block Meng Yan?”
