Chapter 333
Su Qingci leaned on the railing and looked downstairs. An exquisite woman dressed like a "socialite" from old Shanghai walked in from the door.
The curly black hair was tied up at the back of her head, and the bangs in front of her forehead were divided into two strands and pinned back, covering her temples.
She wore a dark green modified cheongsam and a tasseled shawl. The gently swaying tassels and the white jade-like buttons on the cheongsam made her look even more exquisite and elegant.
The other person also happened to look up. He was about twenty-one or twenty-two years old, with a face as slender as a jade plate, still with some baby fat, willow eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, which just met the aesthetic standards of that era.
The other person's gaze passed over Kong Yuzhen who was walking down, and swept to Su Qingci above, and his eyes instantly showed a bit of disgust.
I don’t know where this bumpkin came from, but anyone who can hang out with Kong Yuzhen is definitely not a good person.
Kong Yuzhen had already stormed downstairs. "Zhou Mingyue, you took advantage of my absence to gossip about me in front of Brother Meng Bai again, didn't you?"
"My brother is so blind to fall for a fickle woman like you. You're already married, yet you're still clinging to my brother Meng Bai all day long. You shameless bitch!"
"Slut, you're taking advantage of your status and flirting with other girls all day long like a foxy woman. Your Zhou family really raised a good daughter!!"
Zhou Mingyue raised her eyebrows and looked at Kong Yuzhen jumping up and down with a look of contempt, which successfully made Kong Yuzhen so angry that she was about to attack her.
"stop!"
Kong Liu, who had just entered, quickly scolded Kong Yuzhen, "What's wrong with you? Apologize to your sister-in-law right now!"
Kong Yuzhen's face flushed red. "No, I was wrong to say that. It's obvious that she doesn't want it~"
"Pah~"
Kong Liu slapped Kong Yuzhen in the face and said, "I think I've spoiled you and made you so disrespectful!"
Kong Yuzhen stood there in a daze, her mouth open in disbelief.
Her brother had never laid a finger on her, but now he was beating her for this bitch who had cheated on him.
Su Qingci's eyes widened. What was going on? Wasn't it said that the Sixth Master loved this sister the most, even more than his wife?
Now it seems that there is something else going on...
"Mingyue, Yuzhen spoke without thinking. I apologize to you on her behalf. She is young and I have spoiled her. I hope you don't take it to heart." Kong Liu said to Zhou Mingyue with a gentle face.
Although he apologized, there was no regret on his face.
Su Qingci looked at Kong Liu and Zhou Mingyue with her eyes wide open. After a closer look, she found that there was something wrong with these two people.
Zhou Mingyue did not have the kind of intimacy with Kong Liu that a wife has with her husband, and Kong Liu's attitude towards Zhou Mingyue was not like that towards his wife, but rather like that towards a distinguished guest. There was even a hint of fear in the way he looked at Zhou Mingyue.
Kong Yuzhen came back to her senses after a while, "Brother, you hit me?"
"You've never hit me before, and now you're hitting me for this shameless woman?"
"Wow, wow, wow, I think they're right. In your heart, I'm just a burden, a nuisance. In fact, you've been eager to get rid of me for a long time, right?"
"What's the difference between you and those lustful and stinking men?"
"I hate you. I don't like you anymore. Just stay in love with this woman who planted seeds in your head!!!"
After Kong Yuzhen finished roaring with tears in her eyes, she turned around and ran away without caring how ugly Kong Liu's face was.
Su Qingci felt the strange and suffocating atmosphere at the scene, and hurriedly said in panic, "I, I'll go see Yuzhen."
After saying that, without waiting for Kong Liu to say anything, Su Qingci turned around and chased after Kong Yuzhen.
Kong Yuzhen went upstairs, opened the door, lay on the bed and cried her heart out.
Su Qingci walked in, closed the door slowly and locked it, then walked up to her and patted her on the back.
"Yuzhen, don't cry. Your brother, hey, he's already married after all. The person closest to him must be your sister-in-law. And you did say something a bit too much, so he hit you."
"I just saw it all. He was probably angry and must have regretted hitting you. Your brother is such a grown man, you should still give him some face in front of everyone."
"I don't think your sister-in-law loves your brother. If you make such a fuss, your brother will be in trouble."
It would have been fine if Kong Suqingci hadn't said anything, but after she said that, Kong Yuzhen felt even more aggrieved.
"Wow, don't I know he's in trouble? I just feel sorry for him, but he doesn't know what's good for him and is helping Zhou Mingyue~"
"I told him from the beginning that Zhou Mingyue wasn't sincere to him, but he refused to listen to me and insisted on marrying her. This isn't just marrying a wife, it's inviting back an ancestor."
The corners of Su Qingci's mouth twitched. Coming from a sister-in-law, these words were really...
"Alright, alright, Yuzhen, time will tell. Your brother will understand your painstaking efforts one day!"
"Since Zhou Mingyue treats your brother badly, you should be even better to him. Look how much your brother loves you. It's not just women who need love. Your brother treats you so well, you should also feel sorry for him. If you keep getting angry with him, he will be even more pitiful."
"Perhaps your sister-in-law is happy to see you and your brother quarreling like this, and you've just done what she wants, haven't you?"
As soon as Su Qingci finished speaking, Kong Yuzhen stopped sobbing and immediately climbed up with red eyes.
He grabbed the handkerchief beside him and started wiping his eyes and nose.
"Woo woo, you're not right. I can't do what that bitch wants."
With Su Qingci's comfort, Kong Yuzhen finally shut up and started to complain to her.
"Zhou Mingyue and I went to the same school, a few years older than me. When she was in school, she looked pure and innocent, and was very arrogant."
"But she's secretly hooking up with several men who are crazy about her, including my brother and Brother Meng Bai."
Su Qingci tempted, "Looking at her, she doesn't look like she comes from a humble family. Does she have a powerful family background?"
Kong Yuzhen gritted her teeth and said, "What's so great about it? Even if the Zhou family is powerful, it has nothing to do with her. Now the Zhou family is headed by her second uncle, and she is just a poor creature fostered in a relative's home."
Su Qingci asked with a confused look on her face, "Brother Meng Bai, whom you just mentioned, also likes her?"
Kong Yuzhen retorted, "No, Brother Meng Bai was deceived by her appearance. The Zhou family didn't treat her unfairly, but she pretended to be abused in the Zhou family to deceive Brother Meng Bai's sympathy."
Su Qingci pretended to be curious, "Who is Brother Meng Bai?"
Kong Yuzhen's expression gradually softened. "Brother Meng Bai is a very capable man. He's handsome and capable. Not only is my brother extremely respectful to him, but even the police and government officials in Shanghai treat him with respect!"
