Mr. Yan, wake up! Your wife isn't a delicate little flower.

Qin Family Villa.

After the commotion this morning, Butler Ye led everyone in a thorough cleaning of the house.

Although Qin Jian was in a sorry state, at least the matter was over.

Not long after Cheng Xihe left, he packed up and went to work.

"Da da da".

The door was wide open, and Zhang Zhiyue walked in quickly from outside, wearing high heels.

"lady."

Butler Ye had prepared slippers for her, and seeing her angry face, asked, "We have fresh watermelon today, would you like me to prepare some for you?"

"Get ready quickly."

Zhang Zhiyue kicked off her shoes and angrily walked inside.

"Snapped!"

She threw her bag on the sofa and sat down angrily.

The rounded fingers pressed hard on the leather sofa, leaving several deep marks.

"Madam, please have some watermelon first."

After the maid brought the watermelon over, Butler Ye quickly stuck a fork in it and waited for Zhang Zhiyue to eat it.

After devouring several slices of watermelon to relieve her pent-up emotions, Zhang Zhiyue asked fiercely, "Where's Susu? Hasn't she gotten up yet?"

"The young lady has no classes today and is resting upstairs. She came down around nine o'clock this morning."

She deliberately chose to eat after Qin Jian and the others had left.

Zhang Zhiyue tossed her fork onto the plate and said unhappily, "Go and call Qin Ruosu down right now! She's down immediately!"

"yes!"

Although Butler Ye didn't know what had happened, he acted quickly, taking several servants upstairs to knock on the door.

"Knock knock knock".

Butler Ye knocked on the door three times.

No one answered.

He knocked at that frequency three times, but no one answered the door.

"Young Miss, I'm sorry to bother you." Butler Ye didn't care about anything else and apologized before slowly pushing open the door.

There was no movement inside, so the butler didn't dare to risk going in.

He turned to the maid beside him and winked, "Go see if the young lady has woken up yet. If she has, let me know."

"Yes."

The maid cautiously went in and glanced around.

Qin Ruosu was sleeping soundly on the bed, it didn't seem like she was acting.

Stepping back, the maid whispered, "Miss is still sleeping. Should we wake her?"

"Of course!"

Butler Ye said firmly, "Besides the master, the most important person in the family is the mistress."

"My wife is angry, so our top priority is to calm her down."

Anyway, it's not them who get scolded or beaten.

"Yes, Butler Ye." The maids exchanged glances and pushed open the door.

"Ah! What are you doing?"

Qin Ruosu was sleeping soundly on her princess bed when she was suddenly woken up. When she opened her eyes, she saw several servants.

It gave her quite a fright.

Butler Ye came in from outside and said with concern, "Miss, I apologize for the offense."

But your wife is downstairs angry, and it seems to have something to do with you, so you should go down there right away.

"Do you know why?" Qin Ruosu's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but ask.

Butler Ye shook his head, feigning ignorance: "I don't know. Madam is extremely angry. Miss, you must be careful."

"I'm extremely angry."

After reading those words aloud, Qin Ruosu had a bad feeling.

Seeing her guilty look, Butler Ye knew she must have done something wrong. "Miss, please hurry up, we'll head out now."

Nodding to her, Butler Ye left with his men.

Qin Ruosu got up, washed up, and changed into a dress.

Not long after.

Zhang Zhiyue, who was in the living room, heard footsteps, turned her head and saw Qin Ruosu.

She said coldly, "Come here."

"Mommy, what's wrong?" Qin Ruosu didn't know what had happened, and seeing Zhang Zhiyue like this, she felt a little guilty.

Walking over and sitting down on the sofa, Qin Ruosu's eyes darted around, staring at Zhang Zhiyue's bag.

Zhang Zhiyue suppressed her anger, her voice taut like a tightly wound bowstring: "Qin Ruosu, do you know how much trouble you've gotten yourself into!"

Shouting out the full name means you're not far from getting beaten up.

"Mommy, what are you saying? I don't understand." Qin Ruosu looked at Zhang Zhiyue innocently.

"Bang!"

Zhang Zhiyue slammed her hand on the sofa: "Don't pretend. I know everything you did at the banquet."

Do you realize that what you said has caused us both to lose face?

"Mommy, I didn't mean to." Qin Ruosu lowered her eyes in disappointment and bit her lower lip lightly.

They're already adults, older than Cheng Xihe, yet they still provoke her despite knowing all of Cheng Xihe's tricks.

Zhang Zhiyue knows her daughter best: "Whether you did it on purpose or not, others may not know, but how could your mother not know?"

With her head down, Qin Ruosu dared not speak.

I was a little nervous when I got back.

But since no one said anything, she assumed the matter was over.

"say!"

"Bang!"

Zhang Zhiyue suddenly stood up and slammed her hand on the coffee table.

The bone china cups and saucers on the table trembled slightly, making a crisp sound.

"Mom, Mommy, don't be so fierce." Qin Ruosu was startled by Zhang Zhiyue's behavior.

She looked up at Zhang Zhiyue, her eyes reddening: "I just don't like her arrogant attitude towards everyone."

What gives you the right? Stop pretending to be so high and mighty!

The main reason was that she was jealous of Cheng Xihe's good grades and good looks, and that Cheng Xihe could steal her attention wherever she went.

Even Su Wenjie.

Don't think she didn't see it; Su Wenjie was secretly looking at Cheng Xihe!

She couldn't tolerate this.

"Snapped!"

Zhang Zhiyue slapped Qin Ruosu on the shoulder: "Qin Ruosu, I really don't know what you're thinking, you idiot."

She's already moved out, and you're still targeting her over such a small thing? Do you really want your mother to lose face with you?

"Mom, Mommy..."

Qin Ruosu opened her mouth, looking aggrieved.

Seeing her in such a wretched state, Zhang Zhiyue was furious: "You embarrassed Cheng Xihe at the banquet, do you think that's slapping her in the face?"

That would be like rubbing your father's and my face in the dirt, making us both embarrassed and unable to work outside.

Because of your one sentence, so many people are laughing at us.

If someone hadn't told me, I still wouldn't know that I'd become a jealous stepmother in a wealthy family.

"Mom, it's actually because Xihe was talking badly about you behind your back..."

Qin Ruosu was genuinely afraid of Zhang Zhiyue's reaction, so she quickly apologized in a low voice, "I'm sorry, but I couldn't help it. I was doing this for my mother."

"Susu."

Zhang Zhiyue's expression turned serious.

She now realized that Qin Ruosu was no innocent girl at all; she lied without batting an eye.

"What Cheng Xihe said is not important; what matters is how you handle it."

Zhang Zhiyue looked at Qin Ruosu with icy eyes: "Even at this point, you're still lying."

"I didn't." Qin Ruosu looked at her in a panic.

She swallowed hard, trying to make her gaze appear sincere, hoping Zhang Zhiyue wouldn't notice anything...
