Translator:Henyee TranslationsEditor:Henyee Translations
Madame Lin was at a loss for words. Well
Qiao Xuan didnt give her a chance to think. She tugged at her sleeves. Mrs. Lin, am I wrong?
Madame Lin had no choice but to shake her head. You are right
I knew Mrs. Lin is a very understanding person! Qiao Xuan looked up at Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Han. Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Han, tell me, what did I do wrong? Should I apologize to you? What would be the point?
Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Han flushed with embarra.s.sment.
Madame Lin had just informed them of what Qiao Xuan said, and now Qiao Xuan was interrogating them. They couldnt counter Madame Lins statement, and they had no choice but to remain silent.
Annoyance began to well up within them towards Qiao Xuan.
As a couple, they felt even more humiliated in front of the gathered guests.
They werent as quick-witted or as audacious as Qiao Xuan. Panic set in, leaving them dumbfounded and unable to utter a word, as beads of sweat formed on their foreheads.
Madame Han snapped, her voice filled with anger. So many people have said that Mrs. Shao is trying to drag us into her grudge!
Qiao Xuan almost burst into laughter, inwardly cursing at Madame Hans foolishness.
She wasnt about to let go of this opportunity.
She responded instantly, Mrs. Han, what are you talking about? I only heard the two of you speak. No one else said a word. Mrs. Han, please point it out.
All eyes turned to Madame Han with disapproval.
Madame Han was taken aback, realizing she had misspoken. Her face flushed with embarra.s.sment, feeling deeply humiliated.
Youre up to no good! Madame Han exclaimed.
Qiao Xuan responded with curiosity, Of course, I am up to no good. Mrs. Han, you spoke those words of your own accord, without any coercion from me. I am merely following your lead. If you dont wish to answer me, I will pretend I never heard anything. You are accusing me without any valid reason, and its quite perplexing.
Mrs. Hans eyes widened, her lips quivered, and her face flushed with a mix of anger and embarra.s.sment. How delightful!
The others couldnt bear the situation any longer.
It had become incredibly embarra.s.sing for Mrs. Han.
If given the chance, she would have loved nothing more than to tear Mrs. Shao apart.
They all sighed inwardly, realizing that Mrs. Shao was not someone to be trifled with. Editor Shao was a Primus, and he couldnt be foolish enough to offend the Tian Family just to protect his wife. Mrs. Shao couldnt possibly be an idiot!
Even Madame Qin grew weary of the situation.
She had a sense that she couldnt afford to provoke this woman, so she abandoned the idea. It would be immensely embarra.s.sing if her attempts to confront Qiao Xuan backfired.
Concerns about her husbands position and Qiao Xuans temper had made everyone yield to her demands in the past, and she was well aware of that fact.
Now, they realized they had kicked a hornets nest well, never mind
Madame Min forced a laugh and tried to appear relaxed. I believe its just a misunderstanding. We are all friends here, and we will be spending a lot of time together in the future. We can discuss things calmly, theres no need to be so serious, right?
A collective sigh of relief swept through the room, and everyone nodded with forced smiles.
Madame Lin expressed her grat.i.tude to Madame Min and smiled. Its entirely my fault as the host! I havent served you properly, please forgive me! Lets have some more tea and continue our conversation. Well have dinner soon, and we can enjoy a pleasant chat afterward!
