Chapter 6 Arrogant Mrs. Duan
"Is that so?" Qiao Qingci scoffed and said calmly, "Madam Duan, if I remember correctly, you were extremely harsh on me since I was a child, beating me up at the slightest sign of dissatisfaction. Later, grandma couldn't stand it anymore, so she took me to the countryside and raised me personally. I grew up with grandma, relying on her for everything. I only returned to the Duan family after she passed away. I earned all the money for my schooling myself. How much have you given me over the years?"
Qiao Qingci rarely said these things, and it was only because he was slightly angry that he revealed their crimes.
Old Madam Duan came from a scholarly family, while Madam Duan was the daughter of a nouveau riche, and their personalities did not match.
Because of her family background, Mrs. Duan was often ridiculed for being uncultured and tasteless. She hoped that her daughter would do well and was very harsh on her. When she was young, she slept less than six hours and had to study a lot every day.
Old Madam Duan felt sorry for her, so she quarreled with Madam Duan and took her directly to the countryside.
During those years, Mrs. Duan didn't contact her once. It was not until Mrs. Duan passed away that she was taken back, but her attitude was always lukewarm.
Listening to Qiao Qingci's rebuttal, Mrs. Duan not only did not feel the slightest bit of guilt, but was arrogant instead: "Who would believe you? Your annual university tuition is so high, and it's all paid by me. Otherwise, how could a girl like you earn so much money!"
Mrs. Duan was determined to discredit Qiao Qingci outside.
Only by degrading Qiao Qingci to the point of being unbearable, if anything happens to her in the future, everyone will just think she is trash and will not contact the Duan family.
If it were someone else, they would definitely believe what Mrs. Duan said.
What grudges do adoptive parents have to discredit their own children?
However, Mrs. Qiao's expression became increasingly ugly.
During their short time together, she knew that Qiao Qingci was a very good child.
On the contrary, it was Mrs. Duan. What kind of parents would discredit their own children like this!
Of course she believed Qingci!
But she didn't expect that. She thought Qingci should be living a good life in the Duan family, but she didn't expect it to be so difficult!
Fortunately, I heard that the grandma was nice to her.
However, Qingci should have grown up like a princess at home.
Mrs. Qiao felt very distressed when she thought about this.
"Madam, I tell you, you'd better stay away from her, so as not to get into trouble with her in the end." Mrs. Duan was still advising Mrs. Qiao.
Mrs. Qiao couldn't bear it any longer and pushed Mrs. Duan away.
"You're all decked out in gold and silver, but what about her? Does she even have a single luxury item?" Mrs. Qiao was furious. "You're so mean and vicious to the child, and you're even slandering her outside. How can there be such vicious people like you in the world?"
Mrs. Duan almost lost her mind after hearing the insults.
Duan Mianmian's eyes were somewhat sinister.
Who is this woman? How dare she say that to them?
Now that she has returned to the Duan family, why is she still being bullied like this?
The Duan family is one of the top ten wealthy families in Jiangcheng.
"Madam, who are you?" Duan Mianmian spoke softly, her tone tinged with sarcasm. "You look quite glamorous, but how could you be so naive and innocent that you could be fooled so easily by her?"
"You!" Mrs. Qiao was furious. This little girl actually implied that she was stupid!
Mrs. Duan thought Duan Mianmian was right: "That's right, it's not easy for you to make money. Trust Duan Qingci, or she might cheat you out of all your money!"
"Then you are really overthinking it. It should be your Duan family that has been defrauded of all the money." Qiao Qingci's cold gaze swept across the faces of the two people with a hint of sarcasm.
"Duan Qingci, what do you mean by saying this? We adopted you, but what have you brought us? Nothing! Mianmian is different. Just a few days after she came back, Qiao Group took the initiative to come to us for cooperation. Our Mianmian is simply a lucky star." Mrs. Duan looked at Duan Mianmian with pride.
This is her daughter. Even though she comes from a poor family, she is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is also blessed with good fortune.
Qiao Group?
After hearing this, Mrs. Qiao remembered her husband's cooperation with them.
"Don't worry, Qiao Group will never cooperate with you!" Mrs. Qiao said coldly.
Mrs. Duan laughed heartily. "You said you won't cooperate? That's hilarious! You're just jealous, aren't you? Once we cooperate with the Qiao Group, we'll be among the top five in Jiangcheng! That's the strength of the Qiao Group. You can only be jealous."
Duan Mianmian pulled Madam Duan's arm and said, "Mom, let's stop talking nonsense with them."
"Yeah, there's no point in talking to people like them." Mrs. Duan looked at them with disdain, then glanced at the clerk over there: "What's wrong with your store? Can any garbage be brought in? I don't even feel like shopping anymore."
Duan Mianmian looked at Qiao Qingci smugly. Even if Qiao Qingci found a sponsor, so what? With just one word from Madam Duan, they would be kicked out!
The clerk looked at Mrs. Duan hesitantly: "Madam, this is also a customer of our store."
"Hmph, our Duan Group is about to cooperate with the Qiao Group. This shopping mall belongs to the Qiao Group, right? I want to shop in peace now, is that okay?" Mrs. Duan threatened.
She felt that anyone who fell in love with Qiao Qingci was not a very impressive person.
She originally wanted to talk to this person in a nice tone and let him know Qiao Qingci's true face, but she didn't expect this person to be so blind and dare to insult her. Let her learn a lesson!
The clerk had a complicated expression.
This Mrs. Duan is really crazy!
Do you know who is in front of her?
The clerk looked at Mrs. Qiao with great respect, waiting for her opinion.
Mrs. Qiao said in a cold tone, "Since you want to shop in peace, please go out. Never come to Yuehua Shopping Mall again!"
"You invite me? You are not worthy!" Mrs. Duan was very disdainful.
"Excuse me, ma'am, please leave." The clerk said to Mrs. Duan, "From now on, you will be blacklisted by us."
