Chapter 673 Sorry to keep you waiting
She was clearly a fool who should have been trampled into the mud and unwanted by everyone, but just because she was born into the right family, she could easily obtain what she had always dreamed of and could never get even after a lifetime of hard work.
Why? Why isn't she the eldest daughter of the Qi family? Why can a fool be so lucky?
Qi Yao had long seen through the jealousy hidden behind the vicious words, so she deliberately walked up to her and looked down at her, saying, "So what if I hit you? I'm going to hit you. Not only will I hit you, I'll make you kowtow to me and my sister-in-law to apologize."
"You want me to kowtow and apologize? Are you crazy? Impossible! I would never kowtow and apologize to you! You're dreaming!"
"Really? Even if you and your father are kicked out of the Jiang family and have no place to stand in Z City?"
Jiang Rumei trembled and widened her eyes, saying, "Impossible, you couldn't have done that, you're trying to scare me."
"Scare you? Why would I scare you for no reason? Don't forget, I am the eldest daughter of the Qi family, and my sister-in-law is the eldest mistress of the Qi family. The Jiang family is just an elephant compared to the Qi family. It's easy to crush an ant. If I want to, I have plenty of ways to make you wish you were dead."
Jiang Rumei's eyes were bloodshot. She knew very well that what Qi Yao said was true, and it was precisely because it was true that she was even more unwilling: "A fool, a lowly poor wretch, why? Why?"
"Just because I was born into the right family, and just because my brother likes her."
"She's not good enough for my cousin at all!"
"My sister-in-law isn't good enough for him, but do you think you are?"
“Even if it wasn’t me, it shouldn’t have been her! My cousin is such an outstanding person, he deserves the best! Even if he doesn’t marry a lady from a prominent family of equal social standing, she should at least be his equal in appearance and education, not a useless country girl who can’t help him at all!”
"What my brother likes is the best, and you don't even deserve to be mentioned alongside him. That scheming bitch who hides in the shadows and never shows her face, only daring to use you to flaunt her power and use underhanded tactics, is even less worthy."
Jiang Rumei was initially blinded by anger and failed to notice Qi Yao's unusual behavior.
Hearing this, I felt a jolt and finally realized something was wrong.
"You...you're not stupid anymore?"
Cheng Meiyi was also a little stunned by this unexpected turn of events. After she came to her senses, she ran excitedly to Qi Yao's side: "Yao Yao, you..."
Qi Yao coughed lightly and said casually, "What she said was so stupid, it woke me up."
Cheng Meiyi: "..." Do I look that stupid? At least come up with a better excuse, don't just give me such an obvious bluff!
Jiang Rumei: "..." This is outrageous! I'm not taking the blame for this!
The atmosphere in the lounge was awkward when suddenly a series of hurried footsteps came from the corridor.
Everyone instinctively turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound, and soon saw someone rushing over in a hurry.
Running at the front was Qi Yingzhang, the very person they had just been arguing about.
"Meiyi, Yaoyao, are you alright?"
Upon entering the room, Qi Yingzhang immediately rushed to his wife and sister, carefully examining their condition with a face full of concern.
However, he never once looked at Jiang Rumei, making their relationship clearly obvious.
Jiang Rumei looked unwilling and struggled to crawl to Qi Yingzhang's side. She grabbed his leg and cried, "Cousin, cousin, you have to stand up for me! I just brought a few girls to play with Yao Yao. We had only said a few words when they started hitting me."
“My girlfriends all saw it. They were the ones who did it. My stomach hurts so much, and I feel unwell all over. I don’t know if they kicked my internal organs. Cousin, you have to stand up for me and give me an explanation.”
Qi Yingzhang was busy caring for his wife and sister and had no time to settle scores with her. He never expected this person to come to him of her own accord. He immediately said coldly, "Confess? What confession? How about I call an ambulance to take you to the hospital for emergency treatment?"
Jiang Rumei was stunned. This reaction was something she had never expected. She stared at him blankly, momentarily forgetting how to react.
"Meiyi, what happened? Tell me."
“I was worried that Yao Yao would be bored backstage all by herself, so I came to check on her. But when I got back, I saw all these people in the lounge, and I didn’t know where Aunt Wang had gone.”
Aunt Wang was the nanny who stayed to take care of Qi Yao.
"This person claimed to be your cousin, but kept calling me and Yao Yao 'bitch' and 'idiot.' After I talked back a few times, she got angry and tried to hit me. It was Yao Yao who saved me."
Cheng Meiyi's eyes lit up as she said this, and she said excitedly, "Ying Zhang, Yao Yao isn't stupid anymore, she really isn't stupid anymore. She just saved me and even helped me argue with people. She's really cured!"
"What?"
Cheng Meiyi's words immediately drew most of Qi Yingzhang's attention. He looked at Qi Yao in disbelief and then noticed that his sister's usually lifeless and empty eyes had somehow come alive.
It's like a rag doll that has finally been infused with a soul, becoming flesh and blood, and turning into a real person.
"Yaoyao?"
Qi Yao smiled—a vivid, joyful, and energetic smile.
Although she had been living in a daze for over twenty years with one soul missing, it didn't mean she knew nothing.
Having regained her senses and memories by finding her remaining soul and spirit, she has been trying to process everything that has happened in her life these past few days.
She knew she was born into a very happy family; her parents were loving, her brother was steady and reliable, and most importantly, they all loved her.
Even if she was diagnosed with a mental disability from birth, she might never recover and was destined to become a burden to them.
They still treated her like family, doing everything they could to care for her and fulfill all her requests.
This is also the main reason why Qi Yao was willing to accept the other party in a short period of time. Such feelings and such a family are so warm that she wants to work hard to become a family with them and integrate into this big family.
"Brother, it's me."
This man, who had never backed down no matter what difficulties he encountered, couldn't help but tear up because of these few simple words.
Cheng Meiyi's nose also tingled, but she still tried her best to comfort her husband, and said with a faint smile, "Yingzhang, this is a good thing."
"Yes, yes, that's great news! Mom and Dad will be so happy to know."
"What good news? We'll definitely be happy!"
Qi Yingzhang's eyes brightened slightly, and he hurriedly said, "Mom and Dad, Yao Yao is better. She's not stupid anymore. She's really better."
"What?"
Mr. and Mrs. Qi's reaction was no less than Qi Yingzhang's. They were so overwhelmed with joy that they almost fainted when they saw their well-behaved daughter smiling at them and calling them "Dad" and "Mom".
"Yaoyao, Yaoyao..."
"Mom, it's me, Yao Yao." Qi Yao stepped forward and hugged her mother, saying apologetically, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
