25: Chapter 25 You're a maggot, a slut, a used shoe

Now that she knew the culprit,

Gu Nanqiao naturally hoped to resolve the matter once and for all.

Even though the other party was a relative, Gu Nanqiao didn't intend to let the matter slide.

After paying Luo Wei thirty thousand yuan, she immediately suggested taking him to her eldest aunt's house.

Meanwhile, in a certain rental house.

Du Jialing was lying on the sofa, sipping milk tea while scrolling through her phone.

Seeing people on her moments posting beach vacations or high-end food, she was green with envy.

However, thinking that it wouldn't be long before she could get her hands on Gu Nanqiao's house, she couldn't help but feel a bit smug.

The door to the next room suddenly opened, and a bleary-eyed middle-aged woman walked out, immediately spotting the milk tea in Du Jialing's hand.

Instantly, she glared at Du Jialing with her Triangular Eyes, "Why did you order milk tea again? Where did you get the money? Did you steal from me?"

"How old are you now? Instead of finding a job, you just lie at home every day and live off your parents. Aren't you ashamed?"

"Mom, aren't you the same!" Du Jialing retorted without looking up.

"Have you worked a single day since you got married?"

"You play mahjong every day; aren't you just living off Grandpa and Grandma?"

Being criticized by her daughter didn't faze the middle-aged woman; she snatched the milk tea from Du Jialing's hand and took a deep sip through the straw.

Only then did she start to argue back, "At least I got myself married and raised you!"

"I'm warning you, once that Zhong Zijie helps us snatch Gu Nanqiao's house..."

"...you break up with him immediately. You need to find a rich man!"

"It doesn't even matter if you're a mistress or a fourth wife!"

"Is that any way for a mother to talk?" Du Jialing rolled her eyes.

However, she didn't refute her mother's absurd remarks.

The middle-aged woman patiently advised, "Look at me, I'm a perfect example."

"When I was young, I was only interested in your dad's good looks and didn't consider his family background at all."

"And the result? After marrying him, I've lived in rented houses my whole life..."

"I get it!" Du Jialing was extremely impatient; she knew very well how dire their family's situation was.

Because of this, she had been very insecure since she was a child.

A knock suddenly sounded at the door.

The middle-aged woman went to open the door.

She thought it was a friend urging her to go play mahjong.

To her surprise, it was her niece, Gu Nanqiao, standing elegantly outside the door.

Gu Nanqiao's exquisite face was expressionless, but her clear eyes were filled with anger!

The middle-aged woman wasn't a fool; she could tell Gu Nanqiao was furious!

But she still welcomed her with a smile, "Oh, Nanqiao is here!"

"What a rare guest, please come in!"

Why was Gu Nanqiao here?

Du Jialing, who was lying on the sofa, scrambled to her feet.

Compared to the well-dressed and impeccably groomed Gu Nanqiao, Du Jialing looked quite disheveled.

Her sense of inferiority suddenly flared up, and she quickly ducked into her room to hide.

"Eldest Aunt," Gu Nanqiao stood at the door of the rental house, not entering.

She spoke with a cold, stern face.

"A few days ago, you kept pestering me, insisting that I go on a blind date with that Zhong Zijie."

"I want to ask you, did you know that Zhong Zijie already has a girlfriend?"

"What?" The middle-aged woman looked shocked; she was a consummate actress. "Does Zhong Zijie have a girlfriend?"

"I didn't know about this at all. He's really screwed me over! If I had known he had a girlfriend, I never would have arranged for you to go on a blind date with him!"

"Heh..." Liu Zhixu, who had come along with Gu Nanqiao, knew that Gu Nanqiao was no match for this woman.

She sneered as she also appeared at the door of the rental house, "Stop pretending, we already know!"

"Zhong Zijie's girlfriend is your daughter, Du Jialing!"

"What?" The middle-aged woman's face instantly contorted!

She glared viciously at Liu Zhixu with her Triangular Eyes.

"You're making baseless accusations!"

"If you dare to talk more nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

Hiding in the room, Du Jialing naturally heard what Liu Zhixu said.

Her heart skipped a beat; she couldn't understand how her relationship with Zhong Zijie had been exposed.

And what on earth was that Zhong Zijie doing? Wasn't he supposed to be following Gu Nanqiao?

Why hadn't Zhong Zijie tipped her off that Gu Nanqiao was coming to her house?

With a dark expression, Du Jialing quickly dialed Zhong Zijie's number.

On the other side, Zhong Zijie, with a swollen and bruised face, tremblingly answered the phone.

He hadn't been beaten up by anyone; rather, he had been plagued by bad luck all the way, either tripping or walking into walls, turning his face into a mess.

"What the hell are you doing?" Du Jialing questioned in a low voice. "How does Gu Nanqiao know about us? Why weren't you following her? She's come to my house to cause trouble!"

"She went to your house?" Zhong Zijie chuckled. "Just now, Gu Nanqiao had someone beat me up!"

"But it's fine. My big brother, who just got out of prison, has already agreed to stand up for me and handle this!"

Du Jialing urged anxiously, "Stop talking nonsense and bring him here quickly!"

Outside the rental house.

Gu Nanqiao's upbringing made it impossible for her to trade insults with her eldest aunt.

But Liu Zhixu was different; she wasn't about to indulge that triangular-eyed woman.

She knew all about Gu Nanqiao's affairs, and despite her soft voice, she went all out, not backing down at all!

"Heh, don't think I don't know what kind of person you are!"

"When Nanqiao's mother was still around, you were always calling or coming over to complain!"

"You managed to get several thousand yuan out of Nanqiao's mother every month!"

"And then you'd turn around and go play mahjong!"

"I also heard that when you lost money at mahjong, you'd pay off your gambling debts by sleeping with people!"

"By the way, you even stole your parents-in-law's coffin money. Not only did you not support the two elders, but you also kicked them back to the countryside!"

"I'm not at all surprised that a piece of trash like you has your eye on Nanqiao's house!"

"You're a maggot, a bitch, a slut, a public bus..."

In one breath, Liu Zhixu exposed all of the middle-aged woman's dirty secrets!

The middle-aged woman was fuming with rage and reached out, really wanting to tear Liu Zhixu's mouth apart!

But at that moment, Luo Wei stood behind Liu Zhixu, his expression dark, staring straight at the middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman's heart skipped a beat; being glared at by Luo Wei, she felt like she was being watched by a bloodthirsty beast, and she didn't dare to move!

With Luo Wei as her backup, Liu Zhixu was practically unbridled, unleashing a barrage of insults!

She was acting as Gu Nanqiao's mouthpiece; Gu Nanqiao had been harboring a bellyful of anger for a long time!

But all this time, out of concern for their relative ties and her own upbringing, she hadn't let it out!

At this moment, Liu Zhixu was having a blast cursing, and Gu Nanqiao felt a sense of relief!

The middle-aged woman being scolded felt her blood pressure rising rapidly!

Her contorted face was as black as the bottom of a pot!

Just as she was planning to go to the kitchen to get a knife and fight Liu Zhixu to the death...

Zhong Zijie arrived, leading a man with a shaved head and a hideous scar on his face...
