Chapter 200: Not Giving Her a Chance

Gu Qingjiu’s words certainly didn’t sound pleasing to Tan Yalan’s ears.

Moreover, after hearing Qi Yuefeng reprimand her, Gu Qingjiu twitched her mouth and turned on her heels to return into the house. Her attitude of completely disregarding Tan Yalan made her furious.

As the madam of Yu family, she was used to being treated with respect and praised by everyone. Who would dare show her such an attitude?

The person standing before her was her long-lost biological daughter.

But having been raised by a humble family for so many years, she was utterly unpresentable.

Such words wouldn’t come out of the mouth of a person of stature and with proper upbringing.

‘This darned lass..’

But she didn’t direct her blame and fury at Gu Qingjiu. Instead, she looked towards Qi Yuefeng and rebuked her, “I don’t know how you have taught my daughter all these years!”

As she spoke, she strode through the door, not wanting to stand any longer at the ceremony.

Qi Yuefeng felt speechless as Tan Yalan lectured her.

Next to her, Gu Qingjiu frowned his brows slightly, and she cut Tan Yalan before she could even speak.

“It’s none of your business how my mom teaches me. Who are you? Who let you in? Are you shameless or what?”

Gu Qingjiu knew that a person like Tan Yalan valued her image the most.

Nothing else was as important.

Calling her shameless was like stabbing right into Tan Yalan’s heart.

Indeed, after Gu Qingjiu scolded her, Tan Yalan’s face turned a shade of green.

If it wasn’t for the need to maintain her image, she might have scolded her back on the spot.

She was used to bossing people around and insulting others subtly. But at the moment, she couldn’t make herself behave like a shrew.

The Ba-zi [1. A Chinese astrological concept, a.k.a. eight characters of birth time] of this long-lost daughter of over ten years indeed clashed with hers. The instant she came to look for her, she scolded her with such ferocity.

But then, at the thought of how she needed this daughter to enter an alliance marriage, Tan Yalan tolerated it even though she was not pleased.

She plastered a fake smile on her face. “Qingjiu, I know that you’ve been hating us for so many years. You hate us, hate Mom. But we didn’t intentionally lose you when you were little. Back then, Mom even had depression because we couldn’t find you. There were many times when I thought of ending my life. But at the thought that you might still be alive, I forced myself to persevere. Heaven rewards the faithful. After all these years, I finally found you. Just give Mom a chance, will you?”

Gu Qingjiu was speechless.

Honestly, Gu Qingjiu had never seen Tan Yalan behave this way towards her back then.

Because after she had returned to the Yu family, Tan Yalan received her with a disdainful expression on her face. Hence, Gu Qingjiu had truly never seen such a pitiful-looking Tan Yalan.

But that didn’t mean Gu Qingjiu would feel compassion towards her.

She merely felt that it was just a tactic that Tan Yalan was using to dupe her.

She could still vividly remember how Tan Yalan treated her after she had returned to the Yu family.

That unkind expression of hers. It was not realistic to expect Gu Qingjiu to feel compassion towards this woman.

Hence, Gu Qingjiu couldn’t be bothered to continue wasting her breath with this woman before her. With a sneer, she spoke straight to the point. “Nope, no way.”

This reply made Tan Yalan’s sorrowful expression freeze.

Although Gu Hong could indistinctly feel that Gu Qingjiu’s dislike towards Tan Yalan was way too obvious… And as her adoptive father, he found it hard to say something even if Tan Yalan was trying to take Gu Qingjiu away.

On the other hand, Qi Yuefeng’s lips had already turned pale as she watched the confrontation unfold right before her.

Likewise, she found it hard to speak. She wanted to persuade Qingjiu, but she didn’t really want to. the once she persuaded her, this daughter might no longer be hers.
