Chapter 873: Chapter 866: Jealous Nature
Lu Zitong looked at the woman in front of her, feeling waves of jealousy. The woman wore the latest Chanel outfit, was carrying a classic Hermes bag, not to mention the ridiculously expensive Prada shoes on her feet.
Lu Zitong squinted in discontent; what made her most envious wasnât the womanâs outrageously expensive ensemble, but her naturally youthful and fair face even without makeup. Lu Zitong wears makeup all year round, causing her skin to become dull and rough. The worse it gets, the more she tries to cover up, resulting in thicker and thicker makeup. As she looked at the woman in front of her, she became increasingly angry! Having Qiu Zi at home was enough to vex her, and now thereâs another one!
Why are there more beautiful women in the world than her?
Why donât these women all just die?
These thoughts frequently crossed Lu Zitongâs mind whenever she saw Qiu Zi, and now, upon seeing Bai Yiran, she had the same thoughts again.
"Miss, you still havenât answered my question? Who are you?" Bai Yiran stood there with a somewhat indifferent expression.
Lu Zitongâs spoiled nature flared up, "I am the niece of the mistress of this house, my name is Lu Zitong! Who are you?"
As they spoke, Luna had already come out from inside. Seeing Bai Yiran, she immediately greeted her warmly like a savior, "Yiran, youâre back."
"Yes, Auntie."
Upon hearing this address, Lu Zitong felt something was off and rudely pointed at Bai Yiran, asking, "You call my Auntie, Auntie?"
Luna was annoyed by Lu Zitongâs demeanor as she explained, "She is Bai Yiran, the daughter-in-law of this house. And what did you say about the mistress of this house? Your Auntie certainly doesnât have the ability to be the mistress here; Yiran is!"
Luna was never good at managing a household. When Leng Yichen and Bai Yiran moved out, the house was chaotic for a while. Sister Wu was unfamiliar with this house and didnât know how Sister Liu ran things before. In the end, they could only throw money at the problem, hiring servants and chefsâa collection of random people, costing a fortune every month. Although Leng Liewei didnât mind the money, upon reflection, it was still a considerable expense.
After Leng Yichen went missing, Bai Yiran returned with the children. Leng Liewei was ill, so while Luna cared for him, Bai Yiran resumed managing household affairs. Fortunately, Sister Liu, who had previously handled many trivial matters at Leng Mansion, could easily pick up where she left off.
Currently, the company is managed by Leng Yichen and Bai Yiran, the young couple, and Bai Yiran and Sister Liu take care of the household. Naturally, the mistress is Bai Yiran, the daughter-in-law, not Luna, the carefree Auntie.
Upon hearing Lunaâs words, Lu Zitongâs expression towards Bai Yiran shifted, realizing her actions might have been inappropriate. But she never understood the concept of apology, so even if she knew she was wrong, she stubbornly stood her ground, expecting everyone at home to indulge her.
Lu Zitong just forgot that this wasnât her home, and the people here wouldnât indulge her like family!
Luna looked behind Bai Yiran, "Whereâs that Qiu Zi still not back yet?"
"Not back?" Bai Yiran was taken aback, looked back, and indeed Qiu Zi was nowhere to be seen. She stepped outside to find Qiu Zi playing in the dirt. She grabbed Qiu Zi, "Is this all youâre good for? Come inside with me!"
