Chapter 295: Chapter 295: Bitching Without Forgetting One’s Status
Gu Jiaojiao’s words weren’t just for Sheng Yueyue; she had also said them for Song Zijin to hear.
The moment Song Zijin entered the living room, his lecherous gaze was glued to Gu Jiaojiao, making her want to throw up last night’s dinner.
Unfortunately, for all his education, Song Zijin didn’t grasp the insult. He thought frantically, ’Jiaojiao is my red rose, my white moonlight.’
But his father’s instructions were still fresh in his mind. He had to win over Sheng Yueyue and get on the Ren family’s good side.
His gaze on *his* Jiaojiao grew even more fervent, but he didn’t dare express any of his feelings to her.
After Sheng Yueyue finished her roar, several generations of the Ren family glared at her menacingly.
Although Gu Jiaojiao hadn’t thrown a tantrum or cursed at her, her words had stabbed right through the heart.
Right now, she was just a grain of rice stuck to Song Zijin’s clothes, a smear of mosquito blood on the wall.
How she wished Song Zijin would stand up for her, but he was gazing lovingly at that bitch, Gu Jiaojiao.
Sheng Yueyue’s expression was already ghastly. Even the thick layers of foundation she had applied couldn’t conceal her exhaustion.
The dark circles under her eyes were especially pronounced, making her look sickly. Combined with her extreme anger, she looked more like a man-eating yaksha.
Ren Fangyu had been stunned by Gu Jiaojiao’s medical skills, and Sheng Yueyue’s roar snapped him out of it.
His eyes darted back and forth between Gu Jiaojiao and Sheng Yueyue before he blurted out in surprise.
"Cousin Yueyue, you look like you’re about to tear someone apart. How did you get even uglier than when you first returned to the Sheng Family?"
Sheng Yueyue hated it most when people called her ugly, and especially when they called her unsophisticated. She couldn’t contain the rage in her heart.
She wanted to charge straight at Gu Jiaojiao and hit her, but Second Uncle Ren blocked her path.
The tears Sheng Yueyue had been holding back streamed down her face. She wept as if she had suffered a great injustice.
She hoped Song Zijin would help her, that he would understand. What was so wrong with her loving him?
Back then, he had clearly been the one to approach her. Although she had wanted to snatch him away from Gu Jiaojiao...
...he was the one who gave her hope and an opportunity. It wasn’t like she had forced him.
’In both her past life and this one, that bitch Gu Jiaojiao had it better than her. Even after marrying a cripple, the bitch was still full of life.’
’That bitch stole eighteen years of her wealthy life; she should be living like a sewer rat that can’t bear the light of day.’
’But Gu Jiaojiao was living a more glamorous life than her. Not only did her father and eldest brother not help her, but even the Ren Family wasn’t on her side.’
The more Sheng Yueyue thought, the angrier she became. She had long considered Gu Jiaojiao a thorn in her side, a thorn in her flesh, and she wished for nothing more than to kill her.
’Why?’
’Why does all the luck in the world belong to Gu Jiaojiao?’
’Why isn’t *she* the one living like a sewer rat!’
’This is all that bitch Gu Jiaojiao’s fault!’
On the second-floor corridor, Ren Cuiping watched her biological daughter’s contorted expression, and she felt like dying.
She had painstakingly schemed her entire life, and now she had nothing. Even her favored daughter was in a more wretched state than she was.
Looking at her daughter like this, Ren Cuiping felt as if a heavy hammer had struck her, leaving her with a dull, throbbing headache.
’What has this all come to?’
’How could I have constantly blamed my adoptive daughter while spoiling my biological one without any limits?’
Unable to restrain herself any longer, Ren Cuiping recklessly charged downstairs. She wanted to apologize to her adoptive daughter and beg for her forgiveness.
When Eldest Uncle Ren saw his sister storming downstairs, he assumed she was rushing down to hit Gu Jiaojiao and instinctively moved to grab her.
Held back by her older brother, Ren Cuiping wore an expression of disbelief. ’Was I really that indiscriminately hostile?’
Meanwhile, Gu Jiaojiao watched the furious Ren Cuiping being held back by Eldest Uncle Ren and noted that she didn’t start screaming curses.
She snarked internally, ’The matriarch of the house really is different. Even when she’s about to fight, she doesn’t forget her status as a wealthy socialite.’
’Not like Sheng Yueyue, who’s just a rabid dog!’
"Grandpa, Uncles, I just drew my eldest cousin’s blood. I need to go find my master to analyze it, so I’ll be leaving now."
"Jiaojiao, you can see your master today? Is it Divine Doctor Su Gu?" Eldest Uncle Ren asked, unable to contain his excitement.
"Yes. Once the results are out, I’ll call you." After speaking, Gu Jiaojiao gathered her things and walked out of the living room.
"Jiaojiao, can I go with you?" Ren Fangyu asked, full of anticipation.
"If you want to come, then let’s go." Gu Jiaojiao was heading to the site to pick up Su Shuochi anyway.
Eldest Uncle Ren signaled for his secretary to come hold his sister back, also warning her with a look not to make a sound.
In truth, his warning wasn’t necessary. Ren Cuiping was speechless at the moment, still in a state of extreme shock.
’When did her timid adoptive daughter become someone who could draw a person’s blood without batting an eye?’
Second Uncle Ren also signaled for a secretary to restrain Sheng Yueyue. No one paid any attention to her wailing.
Gu Jiaojiao had just settled into the driver’s seat when she turned to see Ren Fangyu following her. Her two Ren uncles had come out as well, along with a driver.
"Eldest Uncle, you all follow closely."
"Jiaojiao, you can drive? In that case, can we ride in your car?" Eldest Uncle Ren was quick on the uptake.
He had already positioned himself by the passenger-side door as he spoke. Unlike Ren Fangyu, who, being younger, was still gaping, at a loss for words.
Ren Fangyu was stunned yet again when he saw that Gu Jiaojiao’s Land Rover was much more luxurious than their car, and that she could drive.
Even the more worldly Eldest Uncle Ren didn’t recognize the Land Rover at that moment, but he could at least tell at a glance that the car was impressive.
"Then please, get in." Gu Jiaojiao didn’t mind giving them a ride. It would save time and prevent their driver from getting lost.
Eldest Uncle Ren motioned for his brother and son to get in the car, then he pulled open the passenger-side door and sat down.
On the way, Eldest Uncle Ren and the others didn’t dare to speak, afraid of distracting their niece while she was driving.
In reality, Gu Jiaojiao had no problem talking while driving; she used to take calls while on the road.
Since Eldest Uncle Ren and the others were silent, Gu Jiaojiao felt a little awkward and decided to bring up Ren Fangyu’s condition herself.
The time passed quickly as they talked, and it wasn’t long before they arrived at the site.
Sheng Shiwu was carrying bricks up a high wall when he spotted Gu Jiaojiao’s car. He put down his carrying pole and scurried over.
Gu Jiaojiao’s car had barely come to a stop when she saw a sweat-drenched Sheng Shiwu.
She casually pulled a drink from her backpack and handed it to him. "Third Brother, for you."
"Thanks, Jiaojiao. Heh heh, I didn’t just come over to ask for a drink," Sheng Shiwu said sheepishly.
"Xiao Wu, what are you doing all covered in dust and dirt?" Eldest Uncle Ren asked as he got out of the car, seeing his little nephew grinning like a fool.
"Eldest Uncle... Second Uncle... and Eldest Cousin, what are you all doing here?" He hadn’t noticed his two uncles getting out of the car.
"We’re here to see Divine Doctor Su Gu." Second Uncle Ren was particularly fond of this little nephew.
"My... Su... my brother-in-law knows where Divine Doctor Su Gu is. I’ll take you to him."
Sheng Shiwu was used to calling him Su, but he felt it would be a loss of face in front of his uncles.
"Third Brother, you take our uncles to find Su Shuochi. I’m going to help analyze Eldest Cousin’s blood." Gu Jiaojiao needed to go do her makeup anyway.
