Chapter 444 - 445: I Won’t Argue With an Idiot
Gu Qibao frowned, what the heck, what does she mean by speaking frankly? Is she implying that what Hu Manke said was the truth?
So, she’s suggesting that I’m just clinging onto people in power and using their influence.
Gu Qibao might be a bit naive, but she wasn’t stupid, she could grasp the implications of these words.
Laughing off the insult, she looked at Hu Manke and said, "No worries, I don’t usually argue with idiots anyway."
"You!" Huffed Hu Manke, her face once again turning red as Shen Yilan pulled her back, her voice carried a hint of anger, "Manke, don’t be like this."
Hu Manke had no choice but to back down.
Gu Qibao raised an eyebrow defiantly, come on, I’m not afraid of you!
To any woman trying to steal my husband - one by one or two by two, I’ll rip you to shreds.
Oh, a catfight? What’s there to be afraid of?
Why would I bother to pretend to be a sweet little angel and play lip service like these people do? If there’s going to be a brawl, then let there be one, pretending to be a saint is just disgusting.
Come to think of it, I actually quite like Di Xiaxia. At least she’s not as hypocritical as these women.
In the meantime, Di Mingjue was leaning against the door jamb, cold-faced and silent, enjoying the show. As soon as he came out, he heard Gu Qibao saying she doesn’t argue with idiots, probably Hu Manke said something to offend her.
He knew that when it came to causing trouble, this girl was unrivaled. Aside from acting meek in front of him, she was always ready to bare her claws and fangs to others.
After Shen Yilan had finished, she turned to Gu Qibao seeming somewhat apologetic. "I’m glad to hear you don’t mind. Where are you studying, sister-in-law? You don’t look very old."
Shen Yilan’s attitude was decent, Gu Qibao casually replied, "I just got into college."
Shen Yilan responded with a thoughtful "oh", it explained her apparently young age.
"What did you major in? Architecture? Or painting?" Shen Yilan asked again.
Gu Qibao’s face was full of pride, "Why should I tell you?"
Who are you to me!
Shen Yilan couldn’t help but laugh, "Sister-in-law, you’re so cute."
However, her eyes clearly held a hint of disdain, which Gu Qibao saw quite clearly, not that she cared.
She wasn’t so stupid that she couldn’t even see when she was being looked down upon.
Even though she didn’t care, Gu Qibao still disdainfully retorted. Shen Yilan probably thought she was some kind of naive fool.
Being a fool is fine, after all a fool looking at another fool is still a fool. Gu Qibao did not care.
Shen Yilan seemed to have a goody-two-shoes front, but for all Gu Qibao knew, she could be some manipulative little saint. Anyway, she didn’t have any positive feelings towards Shen Yilan.
Hu Manke, looking frustrated, gave Shen Yilan’s hand a tug, Shen Yilan patted her hand in response.
Unable to lose face, Hu Manke withheld her anger and glared at Gu Qibao.
Gu Qibao returned the glare unabashedly, and even made a rude finger gesture implying she would gouge out her eyes.
Hu Manke visibly quivered, and Gu Qibao smirked triumphantly. Hmph, it’s a good thing my Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird and Black Tortoise aren’t around, otherwise they’d rip you to shreds.
Just as Shen Yilan and Hu Manke turned around, they saw Di Mingjue leaning against the doorway. His handsome looks all the more striking due to the cold expression on his face, his icy gaze fixed on them.
Hu Manke’s heart pounded erratically, her body involuntarily trembled with a sudden chill. She pouted her lips in an aggrieved manner and murmured, "Senior Mingjue... your wife seems to be prejudice against me."
Di Mingjue crinkled his brows in annoyance. With an expressionless blink, he beckoned towards Gu Qibao, "Darling, come here."
Gu Qibao obediently squeezed herself over to him, puffing up her cheeks in a show of displeasure.
Di Mingjue gently patted her head, a doting smile lighting up his face. He turned coldly towards Hu Manke, every word clear and precise, "I wonder, how has my wife offended both of you?"
