Female Novel
Chapter 60
Right at that moment, the Yun manor’s doors opened after being shut for so long. The person whowalked out was a fashionably dressed, but arrogant-looking woman wearing a Chanel jacket and heels.She was about thirty years old or so, but her figure and appearance made her look no older than aneighteen- or nineteen-year-old teenager. However, her slender eyes were filled with a harsh,demanding aura that intimidated all who saw her. She was even flanked by seven or eight bodyguardsdressed in black and holding umbrellas, shielding her from even a single drop of rain in the heavieststorm.
Yun Muqing and Mrs. Zhao’s expressions darkened the moment they saw this woman—Yun Xiaoyue,eldest daughter of the Yun family’s eldest son, firstborn female heir of the family and sworn rival of YunMuqing.
“What a touching display of the bond between mistress and servant.” Yun Xiaoyue’s lips curled in asneer while her sharp gaze swept across Mrs. Zhao. Her voice dropped several degrees colder thanthe wind itself as she said, “Mrs. Zhao, you dare disobey the Yun family orders and privately meet thischeap woman alone? You dare challenge the rules of our family? Are you courting death?” The fewbodyguards behind her also stood up straighter, ready to act the moment something unfavorablehappened.
Mrs. Zhao’s expression fell and she became a nervous, begging wreck. “Miss, I-I couldn’t bear to seeher standing in the rain. Even if the Master wouldn’t see her, she’s still a Yun after all. I couldn’t watchher get a cold in this rain, could I?”
Yun Xiaoyue raised an eyebrow and yelled with disapproval, “How nosy of you. Would I, the master,need you, the servant, to tell me what to do? Slap her.” A bodyguard immediately rushed forward,giving Mrs. Zhao two resounding smacks on her face. The old woman couldn’t possibly take this
punishment, so she fell into the mud with a cry and got stained all over; it was a humiliating sight.novelbin
Yun Muqing was shocked and quickly rushed to help her up, “Are you alright, Mrs. Zhao?”
Yun Xiaoyue felt immensely satisfied by the scene before her and played with her newly manicurednails while she said, in an arrogant and dismissive tone, “A servant should have the awareness of one.Who are you to play guessing games with your master’s thoughts? Insolent thing.”
Yun Muqing was instantly enraged, glaring at Yun Xiaoyue with her almond eyes. “Sis, Mrs. Zhaowatched us grow up and she’s technically our elder. How could you do this to her? Have you noconscience?”
Yun Xiaoyue raised an eyebrow again. “What, you’re interfering in my efforts to educate a servant ofthe Yun family now? What rights does a disowned sl*t have to stick her nose into the family’sbusiness?”
Yun Muqing bit her lip, feeling pitiful and disappointed. When she helped Mrs. Zhao up, she said coldly,“You can bully me all you want, but I will not tolerate you bullying Mrs. Zhao when she’s servedGrandpa for twenty years. When I see Grandpa, I’m going to tell him about this and see how you dealwith it.”
In the face of Yun Muqing’s threat, not only did Yun Xiaoyue not show any fear, she started chucklingshamelessly as she retorted, “Oh, Yun Muqing. Did you really think you’d get to see Grandpa? I’ll behonest, he doesn’t even know you’re here. Even if you stood here till the crack of dawn or even yourdeath, he’d have no idea. That’s right, I kept it from him.”
Yun Xiaoyue savored the expression on Yun Muqing’s face, which looked like she’d been
thunderstruck, then continued, “In fact, Grandpa was also unaware that you foolishly knelt in front ofthe manor after being disowned five years ago. Because I kept that from him too. Now you know whyno one even looked at you, even though there’s at least a hundred of us here, because they neverfound out about it!” On this stormy night, Yun Xiaoyue’s maniacal laugh made her seem like a demon ofthe night.
Yun Muqing bit her lip, her whole body was shaking as she stared at the woman with disbelief. “YunXiaoyue, I’ve never done anything to offend you, and I’ve never done anything wrong. But why haveyou been going against me over and over since we were children? Why? why?!”
