Chapter 118 Taking the Wrong Turn, Making the Best of a Journey



Upon entering the venue, Director Li got out of the car, pointed to a European-style building, and said with concern, "See that one? The one with the red roses planted in front. Remember, park the car properly and don't go to the wrong one."

Given her constitution, which made her prone to getting into trouble, Director Li was still worried and hesitated before deciding it was better to stay with her.

Xu Qingqing quickly refused, assuring him, "Don't worry, I'm not so bad as to go to the wrong place. You go in, I'll be there soon."

Seeing Xu Qingqing's resolute attitude, Director Li could only watch her walk to the parking spot until the car was out of sight. Only then did he turn around and go inside, praying that everything would go smoothly and nothing would happen that day.

Xu Qingqing followed the signs to the parking area, circling around and around before finally finding a parking spot in an open space. There were many cars parked neatly in the open space ahead. She continued driving in and found a parking spot.

As she walked out, Xu Qingqing clearly felt that someone in the car was watching her. The feeling of being watched was not pleasant. She only relaxed after leaving the open space and walked back according to her memory.

The place is vast, with only a few buildings and houses, surrounded by lush green forests, like a green treasure nurtured by nature. Ahead, a wide lawn stretches out, its surface a soft, verdant carpet. Sunlight shines on it, and the dewdrops on the grass sparkle like glittering emeralds.

Ahead, there is a large fountain featuring two fish playing with a pearl, surrounded by concentric circles of flowerbeds. Further ahead stands a magnificent European-style building, its white walls inlaid with exquisite floral tiles, and its roof adorned with delicate relief carvings, showcasing the owner's aristocratic status.

The manor's gate is tall and simple, made of exquisitely carved wood, with a pair of stone lions standing on either side of the gate, making it look solemn and dignified.

Xu Qingqing: “o((⊙﹏⊙))o”

No, where is this place? It's completely different from the place Director Li instructed. It's like a small house leading to a large one. Did she go to the wrong place? But she was following the signs. Recalling the winding route she took, she fell silent again.

Without a doubt, she must have gone to the wrong place and wandered into this place by mistake.

Just then, a voice rang out from behind, sounding urgent: "Why are you so slow? The guests are already here. If you hadn't been introduced by someone I know, I would have kicked you out right now. Hurry up and get inside to work!"

Xu Qingqing glanced at herself; her clothes were perfectly normal. Seeing that Xu Qingqing didn't react and seemed rather dull, the man became even angrier. He stepped forward and stood in front of her, scolding, "Don't think you can be so dismissive just because of that little connection. Let me tell you, you..."

Xu Qingqing looked up, and the man suddenly shut up, his attitude changing completely as he tried to appease her: "It was my bad attitude, I said the wrong thing, please don't be angry, let's go inside now."

Unexpectedly, Aunt Fang's niece was even prettier than the young lady. He was a little tempted and planned to find an opportunity to sound out Aunt Fang and ask if her niece had a boyfriend, so that he could find someone to propose marriage to her.

It has to be said that for someone as ugly as Aunt Fang to have such a beautiful niece is a genetic mutation.

Xu Qingqing was completely confused, but then she realized that this person had mistaken her for someone else. Just as she was about to explain that she was not the person he was talking about, a car slowly drove up and stopped at the gate. A girl wearing a bright yellow princess dress and high-heeled leather shoes got out of the car. When her eyes swept over this place, a hint of disdain was revealed.

She turned to the girl in the bright red princess dress on the other side and complained, "Big sister, shouldn't servants like this stay in the backyard? Why are they running around here? They have no manners at all. It seems that the Chu family's rules aren't very good either."

"Shut up, Yaqing. Dad sent us here to befriend the Chu family and build a good relationship with them. Don't forget, this is where you'll be living from now on." Yu Yali's face darkened as she sternly reprimanded her younger sister, Yu Yaqing.

Hearing her sister's words, Yu Yaqing pouted and said arrogantly, "I won't agree. Dad didn't even consider my feelings before betrothing me to that Chu Jing. Big sister, you know that Chu Jing is not only ugly, but also a womanizer. He doesn't resemble a member of the Chu family at all. I even doubt if he's a member of the Chu family."

Yu Yali did not refute it. Indeed, Chu Jing was different from the Chu family in appearance and personality. The Chu family was on par with the Yu family in appearance, and even slightly better. The Chu family had also suspected that when Liu's mother was about to give birth, she was being chased and killed. The only person by her side was Aunt Liu, who had taken care of her since childhood and was also Liu's mother who delivered her baby.

According to her, she and her pregnant mother, Liu, fled from pursuing enemies and finally took refuge in a house, thus escaping the chase. The Chu family secretly investigated and found that, as Aunt Liu said, there was indeed nothing wrong with Chu Jing; he was indeed a member of their Chu family.

The Chu family was also helpless, so they thought they could educate Chu Jing properly. However, Chu Jing was inherently bad and could not be corrected. There was nothing they could do. Mother Liu was very protective of him. He was the son she had risked her life to give birth to. They all believed that it was their fault that Chu Jing had become like this because he had been frightened. The Chu family had no choice but to restrain him.

Yu Yali sighed deeply and gently comforted Yu Yaqing, saying, "Although Chu Jing is not a good person, you have to think about it. You are his lawfully wedded wife. No matter what happens outside, it can't threaten you."

"I'm not getting married!" Yu Yaqing turned her head and said angrily, "If anyone's going to get married, it'll be Yu Yaru."

"That's enough. This is the Chu family home, not your own home. You need to be careful what you say in public. This matter ends here. Put away your temper. If you cause any trouble, neither Mom nor I can protect you."

After Yu Yali finished speaking with a cold face, she slightly lifted her skirt, stepped onto the stairs, and walked towards the door. Behind her, Yu Yaqing stomped her foot in embarrassment and followed, lifting her skirt as well.

What a show!

Xu Qingqing didn't expect to hear such juicy gossip, and it was quite explosive, which piqued her interest. So, she went along with it and followed the person in from behind. After changing her clothes, she carried the drinks into the hall.

The magnificent hall exudes an atmosphere of luxury. A magnificent crystal chandelier hangs from the high ceiling, illuminating the entire space. The hall floor is paved with smooth marble, each slab of which has been carefully polished and reflects a mesmerizing light.

A large round table is placed in the center, and the table is filled with exquisite tableware and fresh flowers, providing guests with an elegant dining environment.

At this moment, Director Li was obviously unaware that Xu Qingqing, in order to gossip, had mistakenly entered the Chu family and completely forgotten his instructions.
