Chapter 788 Ruan Qi vs Xu Qingya (Update 1)
"Yes, I'm Ruan Qi." Ruan Qi looked at her with a smile. "Hello, Ms. Xu Qingya."
Xu Qingya frowned twice again.
Ever since Cheng Qi appointed her as his wife, outsiders have always respectfully addressed her as "Mrs. Cheng." However, Ruan Qi ignored her status as the mistress of the Cheng family and simply called her "Ms. Xu Qingya."
Xu Qingya was not very satisfied with this name.
She frowned in displeasure and emphasized in a deep voice: "Miss Ruan, you can call me Madam Cheng or Old Madam Cheng."
Ruan Qi blinked, not knowing whether she heard it or not, and said "oh" in a particularly naive way.
Xu Qingya felt like she had punched cotton.
The corners of her tightly-fitting lips drooped slightly, and she glanced behind Ruan Qi: "Ms. Ruan came here alone?"
"Yes." Ruan Qi replied.
Xu Qingya didn't quite believe it, and frowned slightly: "Isn't Patriarch Xi with you?"
"Ajiu?" Ruan Qi blinked, pretending to be confused. "He has work to do, why did he come with me?"
Seeing her bewildered face, Xu Qingya couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
Everyone on the outside was saying how much Xi Jiu treasured Ruan Qi, but it turned out she was just that. He let the little girl come to meet the Cheng family mistress on her own, and Xi Jiu wasn't worried about anything happening to her.
It seems that the rumors are not to be taken seriously, and the head of the Xi family does not take this girlfriend seriously.
As Xu Qingya thought about this, her originally extremely cautious heart relaxed.
She adjusted her sitting posture, raised her chin slightly towards Ruan Qi, and said with a hint of disrespect towards ordinary juniors: "Miss Ruan, come and sit down."
Ruan Qi seemed not to notice Xu Qingya's disrespect, and walked over to sit opposite her with a smile.
The assistant named Zhou poured her a cup of tea.
It is said that "full wine is a sign of respect, but full tea is a sign of disrespect." When pouring tea for guests, the greatest respect is not to fill the cup too full, because a full cup of tea will burn your hands, which is inconsiderate to the guests.
But this assistant, Mr. Zhou... Ruan Qi glanced at the full cup of tea, raised his eyebrows slightly, and smiled calmly.
"Thank you, Assistant Zhou, for the tea." She tilted her head back with a smile, like a little princess who didn't understand the ways of the world. "But my hands are delicate and can't handle heat. This teacup is too hot and I can't hold it steady. Could you please blow on it for me, Assistant Zhou?"
Assistant Zhou didn't expect Ruan Qi to notice his neglect, and his expression changed slightly.
He subconsciously looked at Xu Qingya.
Xu Qingya narrowed her upturned eyes and lowered her voice, "You bastard! You don't even know how to treat guests properly. Why don't you pour Miss Ruan another glass?"
Assistant Zhou understood and quickly reached out to take Ruan Qi's teacup.
But Ruan Qi stopped him.
"No need to re-pour it. Wouldn't it be a waste to re-pour such good tea? Assistant Zhou isn't busy anyway, so please help me take it outside and air it out. Bring it back in when it's cool."
Beating a dog depends on its owner.
The assistant of the mistress of the Cheng family actually had to help a little girl blow the tea. This seemed to be making things difficult for Assistant Zhou, but in fact it was a slap in Xu Qingya's face.
At this moment, not only Assistant Zhou, but also Xu Qingya's expression changed.
Ruan Qi was much more difficult to deal with than she had imagined.
Mao Rongrong looked like a naive naiveté, but her combined attack and defense made both her and Assistant Zhou lose face. Unfortunately, Assistant Zhou was in the wrong this time, so they couldn't find a reason to fight back.
Helpless, Xu Qingya could only endure it for the time being.
She said to Assistant Zhou with a cold face, "What are you still standing there for? Take the teacup out and let Miss Ruan cool it down!"
Assistant Zhou had no choice but to swallow his words and went to the outer room with the teacup in hand.
The door to the small hall slowly closed, leaving only Ruan Qi and Xu Qingya in the room.
Because of the previous incident, Xu Qingya didn't dare to look down on Ruan Qi anymore. She wrapped her shawl around her shoulders and tried to speak softly, "Miss Ruan, I'm sure you know why I asked you to come here today. Let's be frank. Please delete the video on your phone."
Unlike the Cheng family members who came to see Ruan Qi before, Xu Qingya's attitude was not arrogant and domineering, but her aura was much stronger than those younger generations of the Cheng family.
If the girl in front of her was really an ordinary girl, she would probably have been scared.
But Ruan Qi is obviously not an ordinary girl.
She did not respond to Xu Qingya's words, but opened her furry backpack and rummaged through it for a while.
When Xu Qingya saw her movements, she thought she was going to take out some weapon and immediately became defensive.
As a result, Ruan Qi kept searching and searching, and finally took out a pink thermos cup.
"Excuse me, it's time for me to drink some water." The little girl smiled and unscrewed the cup. "Eight glasses of water a day are good for your health."
Xu Qingya: “…”
The veins on Xu Qingya's forehead twitched faintly.
But the fact that she was able to endure for more than twenty years and finally be promoted was enough to prove her deep scheming. Xu Qingya was not really angry about Ruan Qi's little trick.
Ruan Qi had no intention of using such a petty trick to anger Xu Qingya.
She was really thirsty.
The Cheng family is so rich, but they didn’t even prepare a glass of juice for her. How stingy.
Luckily she brought her own drinks.
The girl complained in her heart while drinking water from her thermos. She took small sips, and although it was just plain water, she managed to drink it with the vigor of 1982 Lafite.
Xu Qingya waited for a while, and became impatient with her drinking water in small sips.
She knocked on the coffee table: "Miss Ruan, it's time for us to get down to business."
Hearing this, Ruan Qi put down the cup with a smile.
"Excuse me, Ms. Xu, where were we just now?"
Xu Qingya patiently reminded, "We were talking about that video."
"Oh, right, the video." Ruan Qi seemed to have just remembered and nodded pretentiously. "Are you talking about the video of Liu Feng? The one where he said, 'The Cheng family can walk sideways in the imperial capital'?"
The words in the video were spoken so bluntly that Xu Qingya's face looked a little ugly.
But in order to achieve her goal, she still nodded patiently: "Yes, it is that video. I hope Miss Ruan can delete it. As for the terms of exchange, you can set whatever you want."
Ruan Qi immediately let out an "Oh wow" in surprise.
"Ms. Xu Qingya is worthy of being the woman of the Cheng family master. She is truly generous in her words and deeds."
Xu Qingya felt a little unhappy.
She didn't like Ruan Qi calling her "Mr. Cheng's woman." Generally speaking, people with status would be called "xxx's husband" or "xxx's wife." Even if they weren't married, they would still be called "xxx's boyfriend/girlfriend."
The term "xxx's woman" does not sound like a legitimate wife, but rather a mistress or second wife.
Perhaps because she had been a mistress for so long, Xu Qingya was sensitive to this kind of address. She frowned unhappily and emphasized to Ruan Qi again, "Miss Ruan, you should call me Madam Cheng or Mrs. Cheng."
