Chapter 163 High-level Green Tea
This was the first time that Qian Muchue encountered a situation in real life where a mistress and her original partner met. There was no melodramatic scene like in TV dramas. Yao Yue's behavior was not like that of a mistress at all. Xie Ying was even more impressive, with no fluctuation on her face.
"If you have anything to discuss, you can discuss it with Gong Chen. I'm leaving first." Xie Ying said this to Qian Muchue, giving her some advice.
Xie Ying didn't even glance at Yao Yue and her daughter, and of course ignored Yao Yue's words. After instructing Qian Muchue, Xie Ying left alone as if no one was around.
To be honest, Qian Muchue was shocked by Xie Yingzhen's attitude. What a strong mentality he had. He could turn a blind eye to the mistress and illegitimate daughter. She felt that there should be nothing in this world that could concern her as a mother-in-law.
Gong Yingying on the side had an ugly look on her face. She certainly knew Xie Ying's identity. At first, she was worried that her father's nominal wife would do something to hurt her mother. She didn't expect that the other party didn't take her and her mother seriously at all.
This kind of indifference made Gong Yingying feel more insulted than slapping them directly. It was as if she and Yao Yue were of inferior status and the original wife looked down on them. It was a bit like the feeling of the wife in ancient times looking at the concubine.
Yao Yue was of course also irritated by Xie Ying's attitude. This was the confidence of a wealthy lady, but she was not like her daughter Gong Yingying, who showed her emotions openly and still looked kind.
"Miss Qian, I'm Yao Yue, and this is my daughter Gong Yingying. I've often heard Mingwei mention you and Beibei before. This time I have the opportunity to meet you. You are such an outstanding child." Yao Yue said with a smile, her voice carrying a bit of the kindness of an elder to a younger generation.
Qian Muchue felt a little disgusted when she heard Yaya's name coming out of Yao Yue's mouth. Gong Mingwei was indeed very good to this lover. He told Yao Yue everything. If you didn't know, you would think Yao Yue was his wife.
"Ms. Yao, thank you for the compliment." Qian Muchue's tone was distant, and the expression on her face told others that she was just going through the motions.
After seeing this, Gong Yingying became a little sensitive again. She didn't understand why her mother went forward to embarrass herself, while Yao Yue pretended not to understand Qian Muchue's expression.
"It's a bit abrupt to talk to you suddenly. I came here this time to apologize to you. Wenjie was spoiled by Mingwei since he was a child. I offended you last time. I talked to him properly after I got back. What happened in the last life has nothing to do with you. I hope you don't mind it." Yao Yue still said kindly.
I have to say that Yao Yue can be called a high-level green tea. If Qian Muchue spoke ill of her at this moment, outsiders would probably think that there was something wrong with Qian Muchue.
"Ms. Yao, you're worrying too much. I won't take irrelevant people and things to heart." Qian Muchue's words widened the distance between them.
Qian Muchue saw that Gong Yingying's expression became even uglier, and Yao Yue still didn't change, as if she didn't understand what she said. This mother and daughter duo is really interesting.
"That's good. Your father-in-law is sometimes impatient and speaks bluntly, so he must have caused you a lot of grievances. If you encounter something like this next time, you can tell me if you don't mind. This is a gift that your father-in-law and I prepared for Beibei. He is careless and didn't think of this."
Yao Yue said as she took out a small gift box from her handbag and handed it to Qian Muchue.
This action really disgusted Qian Muchue. With what identity did Yao Yue give gifts to Qian Xiaoya together with Gong Mingwei? Every word of Yao Yue expressed how good her relationship with Gong Mingwei was and how close her child was to Gong Mingwei.
It was similar to what Gong Wenjie said at the beginning, but Yao Yue's speaking skills were higher. She kept using the way of "I am very kind and I have no ill intentions" to convey this meaning.
"Sorry, we don't accept gifts from strangers. I have something else to do, so I'll leave you." Qian Muchue refused directly.
She had no interest in talking to Yao Yue anymore. Every word she said was disgusting. After leaving this sentence, Qian Muchue turned around and went back to the show.
"Mom, you and my sister didn't bring me here, luckily Uncle Wang brought me here." A teenage boy ran over and said to Yao Yue, followed by a man who looked like a driver or assistant.
Before Qian Muchue stepped into the venue, she heard a boy's voice behind her. She subconsciously looked back and saw that the boy was very intimate with Yao Yue. Needless to say, this should be Yao Yue and Gong Mingwei's youngest son Gong Yingjie.
What attracted Qian Muchue's attention was not Gong Yingjie, but the man next to Gong Yingjie, the so-called "Uncle Wang". The man was in good shape, but he should be in his 50s. The key was the man's appearance. Qian Muchue felt very familiar with it, and she couldn't think of where she had seen him.
Noticing Qian Muchue's gaze, Yao Yue took Gong Wenjie's hand and looked at her with a smile. Qian Muchue frowned slightly, feeling a little disgusted. She turned around and walked into the venue. She had recognized all of Yao Yue's family today.
Seeing Qian Muchue's back disappear, Yao Yue put away the smile on her face.
"Mom, look at Qian Muchue's attitude. Why should we come here to be humiliated by her?" Gong Yingying said dissatisfiedly. She had endured it for a long time. Her upbringing told her not to interrupt when her mother was talking to others.
"You don't understand." Yao Yue said this without any explanation.
"Did anyone bully mom and sister? I will go back and tell my elder brother and dad to teach those who bullied mom a lesson." After hearing his sister's words, Gong Wenjie said arrogantly.
This made Yao Yue laugh, and she said a few words to her youngest son with a smile.
Yao Yue was not too surprised by Qian Muchue's attitude today. From what her son and Gong Mingwei had said before, she knew that Qian Muchue was not a simple character. It made sense. How could she be such a naive person if she could win over Gong Chen?
Yao Yue didn't take Qian Muchue seriously at first. She got married because of pregnancy, but it was just luck. But when she saw Gong Chen's official announcement for her, Yao Yue knew that Qian Muchue had a special place in Gong Chen's heart.
Ever since the Gong Group was handed over to Gong Chen, Gong Mingwei had given Yao Yue significantly less money. So whether she was willing or not, if she wanted to maintain her wealth for a long time and let her children have a satisfactory marriage, she had to have a good relationship with Gong Chen, whom she had always regarded as a thorn in her side.
She needs the power of the Gong family. Gong Mingwei is no longer capable. Now it is Gong Chen who represents the Gong family, and the truly powerful people only recognize Gong Chen.
Although Qian Muchue is not easy to make friends with, she is already a breakthrough for Yao Yue. If she were to confront Xie Ying and Gong Chen directly, she would have no chance at all.
Yao Yue believed that as long as there was benefit to be gained, anyone could become a friend, so she was not in a hurry. With Gong Mingwei around, she believed that Qian Muchue would need her when the time came.
