Chapter 690: Master Hou Madam Went To the Sky Bridge Again To Set Up a Stall
Chapter 690: Dare to Covet the Man I Care About, How Many Lives Do You Have?
Gong Wei saw the smile on Third Young Master's face and felt encouraged. She wiped the nonexistent tears from the corner of her eyes with her hand.
She glared at Qin Ruan and arrogantly said, "Addressing you as Third Young Master's wife is just out of respect for the Hou family. Don't forget your humble origins as a poor commoner from the Western City. Being able to marry into the prestigious Hou family is the result of several lifetimes of good fortune. Don't be ungrateful and cherish it. Even if Third Young Master has something outside, you should protect his reputation and not cause a fuss in public. You don't have the bearing of a wife and matriarch of a prominent family."
Gong Wei didn't see it, but when she sarcastically mentioned Qin Ruan's background, Hou Yunjiao's handsome face suddenly darkened, and a terrifying aura surrounded him.
His deep and bottomless eyes stared at Gong Wei, filled with impending uncontrollable rage.
Since when could anyone in the Hou family be talked about behind their backs by irrelevant people?
Gong Yibo noticed the changes in Hou Yunjiao's expression.
He looked at Gong Wei with pity, silently wiping his face.
This girl was done for.
He had originally planned to use her for a marriage alliance, but now he had to consider other options.
After Gong Wei finished speaking, a saintly aura emanated from her, but those who could see beyond the surface could sense her malicious and scheming nature.
Qin Ruan gritted her teeth and asked her with a bright smile, "Are you done talking?"
Gong Wei, oblivious to the impending danger, nodded pitifully.
In the dimly lit room, Qin Ruan's exquisite features wore a smile that seemed to be both genuine and mocking, rendering her perfect appearance without any flaws.
Her beauty wasn't breathtaking, but it was enough to captivate everyone's attention, making all eyes focus on her.
Qin Ruan slowly stood up, her posture straight, and her raised chin displayed a perfect air of arrogance.
With a cold smile, she stared into Gong Wei's eyes, saying, "I understand your words, both the obvious and the hidden meaning. You imply that Third Young Master has something to do with you and that I should not be ungrateful and serve him as his mistress, right?"
Gong Wei looked flustered, but she couldn't hide a trace of excitement.
She tried to suppress her excitement, pleading, "No, I didn't mean that."
But in her heart, she indeed had such thoughts.
Even if Third Young Master had only a few years to live, if she could get involved with the Hou family at this time, her future would undoubtedly be much better than an ordinary marriage into an average family.
Qin Ruan's beautiful eyes locked onto Gong Wei, and she nodded lightly, "So, you mean I'm not worthy of being Third Young Master's wife and lack the bearing of a high-ranking wife in a prestigious family?"
Gong Wei continued, "You come from a lowly background, and I can teach you..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Qin Ruan walked up to her and grabbed her hair.
"Gah! It hurts!" Gong Wei cried out in pain.
Everyone in the room focused their gazes on Qin Ruan due to her actions.
Qin Ruan held Gong Wei's hair firmly and stared into her eyes, her voice chilling, "What authority do you have to teach me?"
Gong Wei's scalp was being pulled, and it was painful. She gasped for breath and pleaded, "It hurts, let go of me!"
"Let you go?" Qin Ruan's eyes gleamed with a hint of amusement.
She pressed Gong Wei's head against the table with force.
With a loud bang, it was evident that she used considerable strength.
Gong Yibo heard the sound and couldn't help but take a sharp breath, feeling a slight chill in his back teeth.
Qin Ruan reached out and patted Gong Wei's cheek, sneering, "I've only heard of foot-binding, but I've never seen anyone with a brain-bound. Did you forget your brain at home when you went out today?"
Gong Wei's eyes widened in disbelief. She couldn't believe that Qin Ruan would resort to violence in front of Third Young Master.
Her lips trembled, and she wanted to look at Third Young Master's expression.
However, the angle didn't allow her to do so, and she could only glare resentfully at Qin Ruan, saying, "How can you be so rude? The Hou family has always had good manners and etiquette. A woman like you, with such an uncouth temperament, doesn't deserve respect."
"Huh!" Qin Ruan coldly laughed, fixing her gaze on Gong Wei.
She stared directly into the other woman's eyes and said in a low voice, "I don't need people's respect; I want them to fear me. Dare to covet the man I care about? How many lives do you have?"
Qin Ruan held onto Gong Wei's hair, her other hand picking up the wine glass on Gong Yibo's table.
The glass of wine was poured over Gong Sun Wei's head.
Splashing water sounds filled the room and quickly dissipated.
But it wasn't enough.
Qin Ruan picked up the teapot from the table and pointed its spout at Gong Wei's face.
"Your mind seems unclear. Let me help you wash it, so you won't be thinking about the wrong man."
With a slight tilt of the teapot, water started flowing out.
"No, don't! Let go of me!" Gong Wei struggled fiercely, trying to stand up.
During her struggle, tea splashed all over her body.
Hou Yunjiao looked at Gong Wei's intense struggle and furrowed his eyebrows lightly.
He glanced at Hou Qiang beside him and said with a faint smile, "Go and help, don't let Madam get injured."
"Yes, Master." Hou Qiang swiftly walked to where Qin Ruan and Gong Wei were.
He used both hands to restrain Gong Wei, making it easier for Qin Ruan to proceed.
The teapot in Qin Ruan's hand was now empty, and she casually placed it on the table.
Gong Wei's dress, once immaculate, was now stained with red wine and tea, making her look disheveled.
Her carefully crafted makeup was also ruined, and she looked pitifully resentful.
Qin Ruan didn't mind the water stains on herself, reaching out to lift Gong Wei's chin.
"I told you before, don't appear in front of me again. Otherwise, I'm afraid I might accidentally kill you. You haven't settled the debt from before, and now you dare to covet my man. How many lives do you have?"
This woman had committed two taboos: cursing Third Young Master's short life and thinking about getting involved with him.
Qin Ruan had no reason to spare her this time.
Gong Wei's eyes turned red, trembling with anger.
She stared into Qin Ruan's eyes, brimming with intense hatred. "You... You've gone too far!"
Qin Ruan narrowed her eyes, patted Gong Wei's cheek, and chuckled, "You are not even worth my time to bully. Moreover, even if I did, what can you do? Bite me?"
GonSun Wei was so angry that her teeth were clashing against each other, and she forcefully raised her head to look at Hou Yunjiao sitting not far away.
He still maintained his gentle and composed appearance, like a humble and refined gentleman.
Gong Wei tearfully complained, "Third Young Master, do you really allow this shrew to tarnish the century-old reputation of the Hou family?"
Qin Ruan raised an eyebrow, gazing at Hou Yunjiao as if waiting for him to speak.
