Chapter 1685: Chapter 1686: Taking Turns to Be Humiliated
The butler lowered his eyes with a respectful demeanor, saying, "Iâm not sure about that. Madam never mentioned it. She only said to let you move there temporarily for reflection, and didnât tell me if the house would be transferred to your name."
He spoke methodically, hands placed in front of him, standing upright like an old scholar.
Chu Xi almost spat blood from anger, her attention fixed on Rong Yan as she squeezed out through her teeth, "I am Momâs daughter. What if she hasnât said it now? The house will be transferred to my name in the future!"
"Well..." The butler seemed troubled, raising his head to quickly glance at her before returning to his formal state. "Madam hasnât mentioned these things to me either. You are Madamâs foster daughter. If Mr. Qin has no objection, perhaps that house will be transferred to your name."
Chu Xi had always wanted to hide from Rong Yan that she was merely recognized as Jiang Chenyueâs âfoster daughter,â but the butler bluntly revealed it.
She immediately looked at Rong Yan, and sure enough, saw a surprised reaction on Rong Yanâs face. Her heart felt like it had been bitten by an ant, trembling with anger.
"Itâs just a house in the Rose Garden, I can afford to buy it myself. Mom cares so much for me. All I need to do is say a word. Who needs anyoneâs consent?"
"Is that so?"
A manâs voice chimed in behind her, with a mocking tone.
She turned around, meeting Qin Junâs cold gaze. "I told you long ago not to cause trouble here. It seems youâve really got some nerve."
"Let me remind you, the reason youâre being moved out is because of your usual antics, your little schemes behind the scenes, embarrassing us entirely. When you stayed at Chu Garden, you didnât even live inside the house, you were just a guest in the guestroom. You havenât stayed in the guestroom for many days, and you dare to act like the host in front of friends I invited. Are you a Chu Family member? Do you know what a foster daughter means? A foster daughter is a stranger without a blood relationship. When Xixi returns, you, this foster daughter, can pack up and leave anytime! Itâs none of your business how the family money will be divided in the future!"
"You..." Chu Xiâs eyes reddened with anger, her chin tensed as she gritted her teeth, "Donât you go too far!"
Qin Jun wore a checkered apron, still holding a spatula. The slightly feminine apron around him seemed strangely fitting, exuding an aura of rebellious charm. Facing Chu Xiâs warning, he merely raised an eyebrow, looking down at her with his slanted eyes, not taking her seriously. "What if I am going too far? Can you make your âmomâ throw me out? If you can do it, I have no objections."
Chu Xi really couldnât do it!
Jiang Chenyue indeed treated her well, but this kindness was built on comparison with others.
If compared with Qin Jun, Chu Xi believed Jiang Chenyue wouldnât hesitate to side with Qin Jun.
As this âMiss Chu,â she really couldnât do anything about this cousin Qin Jun.
She bit her lip, her face turning pale as she stood frozen on the spot.
Qin Jun just glanced at her, not wanting to scare Rong Yan by arguing with her, and instead waved at Rong Yan, "Sorry, I shouldâve come out to meet you earlier. Iâm sorry you had to run into someone unpleasant, ruining the good mood."
"Iâm fine, wasnât affected. Huh, whereâs Mrs. Jiang?"
After following him inside, Rong Yan didnât see Jiang Chenyue and curiously asked.
