Chapter 381:1 Want to Report

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Graceful in her demeanor and articulate in her speech, Rong Qi gave no room for criticism. Mrs. Gu’s impression of her improved drastically within seconds.

Mrs. Gu had been wondering why Ye Nanshen would bring a fool to such an important occasion. As it turns out, Rong Qi wasn’t the capricious, bullying, and forceful barbarian that Gu Ziye had described.

Mrs. Gu was aware of how gentle Rong Qi was, how well-read and sensible. However, despite the disappearance of her prejudice, the rift between them remained. The well-read Rong Qi before her eyes was her daughter’s rival, and Mrs. Gu was perfectly clear about that.

Reining in her facial expressions, Mrs. Gu became politely distant. She said, “Miss Rong, you’re too kind. Please make yourself at home tonight, and do forgive us if there’s any oversight in our hospitality.”

Rong Qi gave a soft smile and a nod, neither too humble nor too arrogant.

Mrs. Gu’s fondness for Rong Qi soared. But then she sighed lightly at the thought that this understanding young woman was Ye Nanshen’s wife.

‘If only the Gu family hadn’t broken off their engagement with the Ye family, Ye Nanshen would have been their son-in-law, and perhaps this girl could have married Ziye, becoming our daughter-in-law—killing two birds with one stone. How perfect that would be! What a pity.’ Mrs. Gu thought.

Mrs. Gu was still lost in regret when she heard Gu Ziye scoff beside her. He said, “Hmph, I must say, you do put on a pretty good act.”

Gu Ziye and Rong Qi locked eyes, sparks flying between them. No doubt, had this not been a public setting, Rong Qi would have flipped him over her shoulder by now. After all, Gu Ziye deserved it.

With a defiant gaze and chin raised high, Gu Ziye looked arrogant. Meanwhile, Rong Qi remained serene, her face adorned with a calm smile. The contrast made Gu Ziye seem utterly unreasonable, picking on a young woman.

Mrs. Gu turned and gave Gu Ziye’s foot a hard stomp. She said, “What’s with that despicable look? What did she ever do to offend you? Have some decency; you’re a man for heaven’s sake! I regret ever raising you! Go somewhere else; I can’t stand the sight of you.”

Gu Ziye stifled a painful cry, looking at his mother with an expression that screamed, ‘I’ve got no words to say.’

Gu Ziye now realized that regardless of one’s age, a mother will always be this cruel. He glanced at his custom leather shoes, now marked with a scuff, and felt his heart ache.

Rong Qi subtly lowered her eyes, her peripheral vision catching the drama between the mother and son. A slight smile played upon her lips. She didn’t expect that Mrs. Gu seemed to be a very understanding person.

Rong Qi’s keen sense of hearing, probably a professional habit, had caught the conversation between Mrs. Gu and Gu Ziye, reducing her previous disdain for the Gu family.

In the hall, the atmosphere of the banquet picked up again, voices rising and falling in animated discussion.

However, at that moment, a piercing voice broke the peace, “Excuse me, is anyone here from Qiyan Studio?”

The encircled individuals from Qiyan Studio turned, “That would be us, what’s the matter?”

“I want to report!” declared the person who had just spoken. She stepped forward, head held high, and an air of arrogance about her.

Rong Qi followed the voice and rolled her eyes subtly, catching a glimpse of Gu Yuyan. She noticed that Gu Yuyan was also looking at her.

However, Gu Yuyan’s face held a peculiar smile, her eyebrows raised ever so slightly in Rong Qi’s direction.

With a soft snort, Rong Qi sat back to watch the unfolding drama.

The woman who claimed she wanted to report had successfully garnered everyone’s attention. All eyes were on her.

A person from Qiyan Studio frowned, “Who are you? What do you want to report?”
