Chapter 674: Insider

It was a seemingly random and unrelated sentence, yet it brought Madam Qi to tears on the spot.

Outsiders only know that the Qi family's youngest daughter has been mentally challenged since birth, and everyone in the Qi family is heartbroken over her, trying every possible method to cure her.

Unfortunately, nothing improved. In desperation, they even hired a master, which led to Qi Yingzhang's subsequent expulsion of them.

However, what the outsiders didn't know was that not long after Qi Yingzhang drove them away, they went to invite them again.

The explanation she received was almost identical to the first one. Desperate to save her daughter, Madam Qi finally agreed, certain that the master could save her daughter and help her find her lost soul and spirit, no matter the cost.

The other party still wouldn't budge, and finally, annoyed by their persistence, simply said that the time wasn't right yet.

Since he was born without this soul and spirit, perhaps there is another destiny. He cannot calculate the location of this soul and spirit now, and it is feared that this wisp of soul and spirit has not yet entered the world.

When the soul enters the world one day, the three souls and seven spirits will attract each other, and perhaps they will be able to return to their original state and get back on track without even having to search for themselves.

This sounds very unreliable, giving the impression that someone told a lie and was afraid of being exposed, so they quickly patched it up.

However, Madam Qi still chose to believe, not because she believed in the other party's abilities, but because she felt that people in adversity needed a little light and a goal to support them to keep going.

So they chose to wait, hoping for a miracle to happen.

And now, a miracle has actually happened!

"Not long, not long. As long as our Yaoyao is alright, Mom is willing to wait as long as it takes."

Mr. Qi is usually a very restrained person, but even he had tears welling up in his eyes as he stood behind his wife.

The family happily shared this long-awaited, wonderful news, creating a joyful atmosphere.

Jiang Rumei, who had finally recovered, panicked. If it were just Qi Yingzhang alone, she could cry and get away with it, but with these two elders involved...

Feeling guilty, she immediately tried to escape the house, but it was too late.

"Where do you want to go?"

Qi Yingzhang's sudden outburst drew everyone's attention back to Jiang Rumei.

After crying for a while, Madam Qi calmed down a bit and, looking at the scene inside the room, immediately grasped the key point.

"What exactly happened? Why are so many people in Yao Yao's rest room? Where is Aunt Wang?"

No sooner had they finished speaking than Aunt Wang, whom they were talking about, appeared at the door of the lounge.

"Sir, Madam."

Madam Qi's face darkened instantly, and her tone became slightly angry: "Where did you just go?"

Before leaving, they repeatedly instructed Aunt Wang to stay by Qi Yao's side and not leave her side for even a moment. However, with so many people barging into the house, she, the person who should have been there, was nowhere to be seen, making it hard for them not to have doubts.

A hint of guilt flashed across Aunt Wang's face, but she still gritted her teeth and recited the pre-prepared explanation: "I just... had a stomachache and went to the restroom. Why are there so many people here all of a sudden? Did something happen?"

This is a perfectly reasonable reason; after all, everyone has to relieve themselves, and no one can control that.

But everyone present was shrewd; how could they possibly believe her so easily?

The day was almost over, and as soon as she left, Qi Yao ran into trouble. What a coincidence! Were these people just doing nothing but watching her all day?

Before Madam Qi could react, Qi Yao sneered, "Is that so? I seem to remember that you left after you had a friendly meeting with them when they arrived."

As soon as Qi Yao said this, all the eyes of the Qi family fell on Aunt Wang, filled with anger.

"No, I didn't! How can you slander me like this?" Aunt Wang trembled and retorted instinctively.

Only after she finished speaking did she realize what she had said, her eyes widening in disbelief as she looked at Qi Yao: "You...you're not stupid?"

"If I weren't an idiot, how could you so easily meet with these people right in front of me?"

Aunt Wang was both shocked and furious, but to no avail; her face quickly turned ashen.

The Qi family always favored their own child, and seeing Aunt Wang's expression, how could they not understand?

"Hello, very well! After managing this household for so many years, I had no idea when a poisonous snake had infiltrated our home!" Madam Qi was furious and almost pounced on her, tearing her face apart, despite the presence of everyone present.

Her youngest daughter has intellectual disabilities, as everyone who has heard of her knows. Whenever she goes out or walks around at home, someone is always with her, just in case she gets hurt or bullied.

These people deliberately came looking for her daughter while everyone else was busy at work, clearly indicating they had ill intentions.

Under such circumstances, Aunt Wang simply abandoned her daughter and left.

Thankfully, their Yao Yao isn't stupid anymore, and thankfully, their daughter-in-law remembered her daughter and came back to check on her. Otherwise, they simply don't want to think about what might have happened!

The Qi family father and son were also furious. However, since there were outsiders present, they didn't do anything to Aunt Wang immediately, but they certainly wouldn't let it go so easily later.

Aunt Wang's face grew paler as she met the gazes of the group. She knew that after today, she would never be able to stay in the Qi family again, and might even never be able to work in this industry again.

She's finished.

Aunt Wang can be let off the hook for now, but these girls who can be considered the culprits need to be dealt with immediately.

"What are you doing here? Who sent you?"

Most of the women who came with Jiang Rumei this time were young ladies from small companies and families. Faced with the angry questioning from their superiors, many of them turned pale with fright and looked at Jiang Rumei in unison.

Jiang Rumei was already sweating profusely, but she still had to force herself to calm down. She forced a smile and said, "Auntie, I brought them here. I just thought that with all the excitement in front, my cousin must be bored backstage by herself, so I called these girls over to keep her company and chat with her."

Qi Yao had long seen through this person's true colors, so naturally she wouldn't let her fool her family now.

"So, I should thank you for bringing this whole bunch of people to laugh at and mock my silly cousin?"

"What?" Madam Qi's face darkened even more upon hearing this, and her gaze toward Jiang Rumei was filled with coldness.

Her daughter may have been simple-minded before, but she was very sensitive to other people's malice or kindness.

The thought of these people deliberately coming to her daughter's side to mock and insult her made Madam Qi's anger rise.

"No, no, cousin, I know you don't like me, but how could you lie to me? When did we laugh at you? There are so many people here who can testify that we really didn't do it. Auntie, I really didn't do it, you have to believe me."
