Chapter 373 Slap Her
"Dreamweaver! I didn't expect to see you here. Haven't you left the country yet?"
Ye Zhimeng looked up and saw her, her face not looking good: "Are you really looking forward to me going abroad?"
The last time she called Xiang Mingzhu, no matter how dumb she was, she could tell that Xiang Mingzhu was being perfunctory.
She has been reflecting with Mrs. Ye recently, especially after learning that Qiao Xi is Xu Xiuyuan's biological sister, she has no reason to oppose Qiao Xi.
Instead, he thought of Xiang Mingzhu's provocation and blamed her in his heart.
If only I hadn't listened to Xiang Mingzhu! She wouldn't have done so many stupid things!
Now seeing Xiang Mingzhu, I am so angry!
Xiang Mingzhu took her hand and said, "I'm so happy that you're staying in China. I'm just a little surprised. You told me you were going abroad this week, so why haven't you left yet?"
In Xiang Mingzhu's heart, Ye Zhimeng is just a brainless idiot.
It is also a very lethal tool.
"My family asked me to stay for the Mid-Autumn Festival before leaving. Why are you waiting for me to leave?" Ye Zhimeng pulled her hand back impatiently.
She had been behaving well recently, which had persuaded Madam Ye to relent. She had only come to the birthday party after repeated assurances that she wouldn't cause trouble. She hadn't even asked her family to buy her a dress, so she had to wear an old one.
She just wanted to come and see Xu Xiuyuan and find an opportunity to apologize to Qiao Xi.
It would be even better if she could become besties with Qiao Xi. I heard that Qiao Xi and the Liu family didn't have a good relationship. If she could act as a middleman and get Qiao Xi to recognize the Liu family, Xu Xiuyuan would definitely look at her with new eyes.
Although Ye Zhimeng is easily exploited, she is also a little scheming.
"Dream weaver, why would I want you to leave?"
Xiang Mingzhu said softly, "Are you angry with me? I'm also very busy recently."
"Are you busy losing to Qiao Xi in the needle-testing competition, or hooking up with Master Zhong?" Ye Zhimeng's tone was very bad.
"Dream Weaver, how could you even kick me when I'm down?" Xiang Mingzhu said with a humble attitude, "Back then, when you were abroad, I visited you several times. Qiao Xi is a fickle woman, and she and Xu Xiuyuan are having an unclear relationship. You really should be on your guard. I just saw Xu Xiuyuan's attitude towards her, it's very unusual!"
Xiang Mingzhu was jealous: "She dressed like a vixen, attracting bees and butterflies. Xu Xiuyuan's soul is almost seduced away by her."
Bang!
Ye Zhimeng raised her hand and slapped her in the face.
Facing Xiang Mingzhu's incredulous expression, he said, "You're here again, huh? You just wanted me to cause trouble at my birthday party and you can't stand seeing me get along! Xiang Mingzhu, if I hadn't known Xu Xiuyuan was... I would have been fooled by you! You tricked me into returning to China so you could deal with Qiao Xi! It's no wonder you lost to her at the needle testing competition!"
"You used me to sow discord! If it weren't for you, Qiao Xi and I would have become best friends long ago!"
Xiang Mingzhu covered her cheeks and looked at Ye Zhimeng in shock.
What the hell is she talking about?
She also wants to become besties with Qiao Xi?
"Ye Zhimeng you..." Xiang Mingzhu felt humiliated and embarrassed. Even Ye Zhimeng dared to hit her!
When she took advantage of Ye Zhimeng, she took advantage of her impulsiveness and recklessness. She never expected that after being retaliated against, Ye Zhimeng would treat her the same way.
Ye Zhimeng raised her chin and sneered, "I just hit you, so what! If it weren't for you, would I have become a local trending topic and become a joke? Even at the banquet, I kept a low profile, for fear of being recognized and laughed at! Xiang Mingzhu, we're done. Don't say you know me anymore."
She wanted to draw a clear line with Xiang Mingzhu and surrender to Qiao Xi.
Wow!
Huo Sijiao, standing at the bathroom door, couldn't help but make a sound. She stretched out a finger and pushed the door open. Looking at Ye Zhimeng and Xiang Mingzhu inside, she said, "I'm sorry, you two didn't close the door!"
She looked at Xiang Mingzhu hypocritically and said, "Miss Xiang, do we need to call an ambulance for you?"
Qiao Xi, who was standing next to Huo Sijiao, smiled and said, "Jiaojiao, Miss Xiang is too thick-skinned to call an ambulance. Let's go back to the hall."
"Okay, sister-in-law."
The aunt and the sister-in-law linked arms and turned to leave.
Ye Zhimeng picked up her skirt and chased after him: "Qiao Xi, wait for me."
Xiang Mingzhu lowered his head and laughed at himself, his heart filled with anger. It really felt like a dream!
Her dog actually bit her back and ran off to follow Qiao Xi around!
Why did Ye Zhimeng's attitude change so much?
Xiang Mingzhu frowned, her intuition told her that there must be something wrong!
No rush.
There's more trouble to come tonight, she thought of the gossip she'd stumbled upon. If someone was going to cause trouble, she could lend a hand!
She wouldn't have intervened originally, it was all because Qiao Xi was too bullying!
…
On the brightly lit corridor, Ye Zhimeng panted and caught up with Qiao Xi. She stretched out her hand and stopped her. She held her waist and said intermittently: "Listen to me... say a few words."
"Ye Zhimeng, my sister-in-law and you have nothing to say."
Huo Sijiao protected Qiao Xi like a child, looking at her warily.
"I mean no harm."
Ye Zhimeng looked at them and said, "I'm here to apologize. Qiao Xi, I apologize for my ignorance and viciousness. I shouldn't have targeted you at the auction, nor should I have misunderstood Xu Xiuyuan's relationship with you and spread rumors. I'm sorry."
Her apology was quite sincere.
Qiao Xi had just seen her slap Xiang Mingzhu through the crack in the bathroom door, so she asked, "Did you and Xiang Mingzhu... fall out?"
When Xiang Mingzhu was mentioned, Ye Zhimeng complained bitterly, "It's all her fault! She kept brainwashing me and saying bad things about you. That's why I treated you so badly when I returned to China. I'm sorry."
She is just straightforward and has no brains.
He is very tactless and impulsive, and is easily taken advantage of by others.
Huo Sijiao snorted arrogantly, "You deserve it. The red wine bath incident caused such a stir. You're not apologizing with your mouth while secretly plotting against my sister-in-law, are you?"
"No, no!"
Ye Zhimeng waved her hands repeatedly, "I didn't mean that. I just thought we... could be friends."
If she had a good relationship with Qiao Xi, Xu Xiuyuan would have to beg her.
Ye Zhimeng's attitude changed too quickly.
Qiao Xi didn't believe she was truly repentant, so she said, "You've apologized, so now it's time for me to leave, right? We can't be friends."
Who would be friends with a powder keg that can be used at any time?
Xiang Mingzhu had such a good relationship with Ye Zhimeng before, but she still got slapped in the face.
"Why?"
Ye Zhimeng watched in annoyance as Qiao Xi and Huo Sijiao walked away from her. She hadn't expected Qiao Xi to be so angry. She probably needed to put in more effort. She knew her background earlier than anyone else, so she had to take advantage of this opportunity.
…
Huo Sijiao took Qiao Xi's hand and walked into the banquet hall, whispering, "Sister-in-law, that slap Ye Zhimeng gave just now was so satisfying! I've disliked Mingzhu for a long time, and if the two of them had a falling out, they wouldn't have teamed up to deal with you."
"I hope so. Jiaojiao, I'll go find your brother first."
Qiao Xi looked around the crowd and happened to see Huo Xingzhou and Zhong Yi chatting, and no one else could find any opportunity to interrupt.
Cruise ship feast.
Growing up, she never expected to be the star of a banquet. Every birthday, her grandmother would cook her a bowl of longevity noodles and a poached egg, and that was her happiest moment.
Qiao Xi looked at Huo Xingzhou with gentle eyes and walked over slowly.
The guests suddenly became a little restless.
Huo Sijiao cried out, "Sister-in-law, be careful!"
