Chapter 678: Exploding in Fury
A hint of impatience flitted across the center of Qiao Mu’s eyebrows.
Was she very familiar with her? She didn’t even send a message beforehand, and yet she came to call on her out of the blue.
Where was the ceremony and etiquette that she kept iterating? Was this the etiquette that their Wu Family indoctrinated?
“Miss Qiao, previously, because of me, Madam Qiao and Second Miss Qiao ended up receiving a shock. This is just a little something to show my respect.” Wu Xiaosu strode up to Qiao Mu and abruptly took out a rectangular box from her inner world, handing it over to Qiao Mu.
“What’s the meaning of this?” Qiao Mu felt that this woman was very baffling.
Wu Xiaosu nodded lightly at her and said with a graceful smile, “If previously, I hadn’t delayed your mother at Dongshun Gate, perhaps they would’ve long departed and thus not have encountered the black-clothed people’s pursuit.”
“You came to give my mother an apology gift?” Qiao Mu asked coldly.
Wu Xiaosu was stunned, and she snuffed out that burst of fury in her chest with difficulty. She scolded in her mind that this eldest miss of the Qiao Family was too blunt in her speech.
How was this an apology gift? She was merely using this incident as a pretext to pay a visit to this Eldest Miss Qiao in an attempt to get closer to her.
Was this Eldest Miss Qiao an idiot? How was she so unknowledgeable about the ways of the world? Which discerning person wouldn’t be able to decipher these words of courtesy?
Even if she, Wu Xiaosu, didn’t stop Madam Qiao outside Dongshun Gate, the mother and daughter duo would still meet with danger, alright?
How did this become an apology gift?
When she called upon other families’ young ladies and expressed goodwill like this, based on the rules, shouldn’t she be instantly led inside?
“Since you came to give my mother an apology gift, why did you persist in standing outside my estate’s main door and insist on seeing me? Just go find my mother yourself!” She really was a baffling woman!
Wu Xiaosu was so livid that the two hands she was using to hold the rectangular box started quivering uncontrollably.
If it were possible, she truly wanted to give this stoic face in front of her a big slap across the face!
Can you f*cking comprehend the ways of the world, even if only a little bit?
Would visiting guests not want their pride anymore when you spoke like this to them?
Standing to the side, Crown Prince Mo’s mouth twitched. He simply swept Miss Wu a glance before turning his head to the other side while holding back his laughter.
Seeing Wu Xiaosu freeze there, her lips quivering without saying anything, Qiao Mu gazed at her with extreme impatience. “Is there anything else? If there isn’t, don’t block the way. We still have things to take care of.”
What the hell can I do when you’ve already laid things out in the open? Wu Xiaosu tightly clenched her fists hidden within her sleeves. Her entire body shifted to the side robotically, yielding the way, and she looked on helplessly as Qiao Mu and the crown prince left with a flick of their sleeves.
The fury within her eyes could practically ignite a torch!
This was the result of her waiting from morning until afternoon, and in the end, she didn’t even step through the Qiao Family’s main door!
Fine! This Eldest Miss Qiao truly was extremely difficult to deal with. Before speaking with her, she hadn’t the slightest idea that this person was actually such a slick and ruthless character.
She was so young, yet she was exceptional at scheming.
Wu Xiaosu had imbued Qiao Mu’s entire being in a conspiracy theory. She believed that this Eldest Miss Qiao had intentionally given her the cold shoulder in front of the crown prince for the whole morning.
Afterwards, she mercilessly expunged both her self-respect and her pride in front of the crown prince, completely barring her outside the door.
But did she think that she would give up like this?
Her mind echoed her aunt’s assiduous exhortation: You must become “good sisters” with the Marquis of Jiayuan’s Eldest Miss Qiao.
Who knew that Miss Qiao would be completely baffled by her.
Wasn’t it comical that a total stranger, after suddenly coming to request an audience, put on a show of being “affectionate sisters?”
