The Wife I Picked Up Is Too Fierce

Xie Yuhuan’s face darkened. As a big shot in the business world, this was the first time she had lost so badly. Looking at Feng Qing’s lazy appearance, she was even more irritated.

The Dragon King was the strongest horse here. Not to mention winning the competition by riding it, ordinary people couldn’t even ride it. Moreover, Gu Jingtong had been riding a horse since elementary school. Therefore, she was confident in making a bet with Gu Qingye. Who knew that she would shoot herself in the foot? She was going to lose a lot of money this time!

Taking a deep breath, Xie Yuhuan forced herself to calm down. Even if she lost a billion, she had to maintain her elegant composure. Besides, one billion was not enough to hurt her.

Seeing Gu Qingye looking at her with a sinister smile, Xie Yuhuan gritted her teeth and said, “Qingye, I’m very curious. When you placed the bet, everyone bet that your sister would win, but as her older brother, why did you place the bet on Feng Qing and bet ten million?”

Gu Qingye coldly said, “What’s the point of everyone being the same? I hate going with the flow the most. All of you think that Jingtong will win, but I think that Feng Qing will win. Besides, so what if I lose? It’s only ten million. But if I win, I’ll definitely make a killing.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Long Yuning took a step forward and interrupted, “Young Master Gu, when I went to Capital University last time, I saw you following Qingqing into the classroom for lessons. Today, you bet on Qingqing again. It looks like your relationship as classmates is really not ordinary good?”

Gu Qingye’s expression turned cold as he glared at Long Yuning. Everyone could understand what Long Yuning meant. She was just trying to provoke a conflict between him and Xie Jiuhan.

Gu Qingye said coldly, “Feng Qing and I are classmates, so our relationship is naturally closer than that of ordinary people. But she’s already the Madam of the Xie family, so we know to avoid arousing suspicion when we interact. On the other hand, Miss Long, I’m very curious about you. I heard that you’ve been living in the Xie manor recently. How do you usually interact with the Ninth Master?”

Gu Qingye glared at Long Yuning like two cold lasers that wanted to freeze her into an ice sculpture.

Long Yuning gritted her teeth and looked at Gu Qingye with a dark gaze. She wanted to maintain her elegant expression, but because she was too angry, it turned into a fake smile.

As a single woman, she had always stayed in the Xie manor. Everyone knew what her intentions were, but no one said it out loud. Today, Gu Qingye said it out loud in front of everyone. How could she not be angry?

Long Yuning opened her mouth and wanted to explain, but she didn’t know what to say. The situation would become worse if she explained. She felt that whatever she said was very pale and was at a loss for what to do.

“Little Aunt is Miss Long’s Third Aunt. She was raised by Little Aunt since she was young. The two of them have a deep relationship. Now that Little Aunt is old, she needs someone to take care of her. Therefore, Miss Long volunteered to stay in the Xie manor to serve Little Aunt. Qingqing and I are very supportive of this.” Xie Jiuhan explained, but his voice was very cold.

Gu Qingye smiled. “Oh, I see. I never expected that Miss Long would be willing to be a servant in the Xie manor to be filial!”

Many rich ladies from wealthy families almost laughed out loud. As the daughter of the Long family, she had the looks and talent, but she just had to lower herself to serve Xie Yuhuan in the Xie manor. To put it nicely, it was filial, but to put it bluntly, she was being a free servant.

Long Yuning’s face was pale. Xie Jiuhan and Gu Qingye’s words were like a combination punch that dealt her a ton of damage. Xie Jiuhan’s meaning was clear. He was telling Long Yuning that in his heart, he only treated her as a servant.

“Young Master Gu, don’t say that. Yuning is not a servant. She has been by my side since she was young. I treat her as my own daughter.” Xie Yuhuan scolded coldly, “Jiuhan, Feng Qing, Yuning will be your cousin in the future. Don’t bully her.”

Xie Jiuhan glanced at Long Yuning and said in a playful tone, “Since Little Aunt said so, from now on, Long Yuning is my cousin. When you see me and Feng Qing in the future, remember to change your form of address!”

Xie Yuhuan : “…”

Long Yuning was about to cry. She scolded Xie Yuhuan for being a stupid teammate in her heart. To say that she was Xie Jiuhan’s cousin in front of all the wealthy ladies was equivalent to completely cutting off the possibility of her and Xie Jiuhan becoming husband and wife.
