Chapter 1201: The Mother-in-Law’s Identity (1)
"Brother Yusheng."
"I’m here, Miss."
"Refund Mrs. Wang and return her goods. Since she believes Yuyuanzhai’s things are not good enough, there’s no need for her to come here anymore. Director Wang is rich and powerful, but our small Yuyuanzhai cannot afford to entertain someone as lofty as Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang, you may leave now."
Mrs. Wang’s face alternated between shades of green and white, making her look quite amusing, like a chameleon. While she harbored resentment against An Yiqing, An Yiqing’s status was undeniable. At most, she could only grumble behind her back.
Offending An Yiqing to her face today—it was something her own household wouldn’t easily let her off the hook for.
Having lost all interest in shopping, Mrs. Wang slunk away with the fifty-thousand-dollar refund check.
"Miss, that woman is so detestable. To say such things about you! If you hadn’t stopped me, I would have definitely taught her a lesson!" Zhang Yuksheng, though naturally calm and reserved, rarely lost his temper. But anyone who insulted An Yiqing, regardless of gender, would not be spared by him.
An Yiqing smiled faintly, "Mrs. Wang is just a small-time clown. Her husband is the deputy director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau. Being in such a high position and breaking the law—it’s only a matter of time before their family collapses; we don’t need to waste energy on them. The rumors in Xuandu City aren’t something that can be settled just by dealing with one Mrs. Wang."
"You’re absolutely right. People these days really have nothing better to do. General Gu has such a good relationship with you, yet they speak as if it’s so disgraceful! And your eyes... ah! It makes my blood boil!"
Zhang Yuksheng was visibly agitated. Every time he heard people spreading rumors that An Yiqing was about to be cast out by the Gu Family, he felt an uncontrollable urge to throw punches.
But An Yiqing simply shook her head with a smile, not letting the matter weigh on her mind in the slightest.
"It will all be dealt with in time. Whoever spread those slanderous rumors will have to clean up after themselves. Just wait—their days are numbered."
