Chapter 142 Gu Ci helps Shen Qingli out of trouble
For a moment, An Qionghua didn't react. Shen Qingli had just confronted her.
Shen Qingli glanced at everyone and continued, "You are living your current life thanks to my husband. It's fine if you don't express your gratitude, but you also want to sow discord between me and my husband. What's your intention?"
Every word Shen Qingli said hit everyone's heart.
They are a branch of the Gu family. Although they are relatives of the Gu family, they all depend on the Gu family for their survival.
Although they knew that Gu Peisi and Shen Qingli were not in a good relationship, no one came out to refute it. The current person in charge of the Gu family is Gu Peisi, and if they say something bad about her to her face, isn't that just a slap in Gu Peisi's face?
After hearing this, everyone turned pale and dared not speak.
Because what Shen Qingli said was true.
Only An Qionghua is different. She is Gu Peisi's stepmother. She has been in the Gu family for so many years and has some skills.
She looked indifferent, "I didn't expect Qingli to be so sharp-tongued, but men like those who are a little more obedient, like Miss Bai, instead of those who always contradict him, don't you think?"
Seeing that Shen Qingli didn't answer, she seemed to have realized something and covered her mouth with a smile, "I forgot how good the relationship between Pei Si and Miss Bai is. Women, what's the use of being beautiful? You still have to be softer, so that your husband will like you."
An Qionghua mentioned Bai Chuwei in every sentence, deliberately trying to disgust Shen Qingli.
She knew that Gu Peisi and Shen Qingli had a bad relationship, so she took advantage of the other's absence to deliberately attack Shen Qingli to vent her hatred.
If Gu Peisi hadn't been there, why would Mr. Gu hand over the company to him?
Her son was only young, but the old man was partial to him and gave everything to Gu Peisi without considering her son at all.
"Pah pah pah, what a good show." A clear male voice came from outside the door.
Hearing the familiar male voice, Shen Qingli couldn't help but frown.
Why is Gu Ci here?
As Gu Peisi's cousin, he would also be there every New Year's Eve.
In previous years, didn't he always show up in the evening? Why did he come back so early today?
Gu Ci was wearing a custom-made grey suit, his beautiful peach blossom eyes slightly narrowed, and he walked in nonchalantly.
He leaned towards Shen Qingli imperceptibly, standing very close to her.
"Sister-in-law, why are you alone? I know. You have been abandoned by my brother again, right? Tsk tsk, so pitiful."
The moment he saw Shen Qingli, the bad nature in Gu Ci was brought out.
He just wanted to tease her and see a different expression on her calm face.
Unfortunately, he failed, and Shen Qingli's expression did not change.
An Qionghua looked at Gu Ci with a little hostility and thought: Why is he here too?
In An Qionghua's eyes, Gu Ci didn't even have the qualifications to inherit the Gu family's property. After all, his father was only Mr. Gu's adopted son and not of the Gu family's bloodline. Naturally, he had no share in anything in the Gu family.
Gu Ci noticed a hostile gaze nearby. He looked over and smiled at An Qionghua, "Aunt is still as bold as before. You don't have to tell my sister-in-law about these things. Why don't you tell my brother?"
An Qionghua was aware of Gu Ci's ridicule.
Although she hated Gu Peisi, she didn't dare to confront him.
Even her husband, Gu Peisi's father, didn't dare to challenge him directly, so how could she dare to target him directly.
It can only target Shen Qingli who has no one to rely on.
Shen Qingli was just a coward. No matter how they treated her, she would not tell Gu Peisi.
It is precisely because they have confirmed this that they are so unscrupulous.
But they missed one thing. Now Shen Qingli has awakened and doesn't want to endure it anymore, so she has learned to resist.
An Qionghua's face darkened instantly, "Gu Ci, when did you become so concerned about your sister-in-law? Or is it that between you two..."
Her words undoubtedly meant that there was something fishy between Gu Ci and Shen Qingli, and that she wanted to discredit Shen Qingli. You know, wealthy families care most about their reputation.
As soon as he finished speaking, people around him cast inquiring glances at him.
Shen Qingli was about to fight back when Gu Ci stood in front of her.
"Aunt, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. If my brother finds out that you're spreading rumors about my sister-in-law, you know the consequences."
"Before I entered the house, my brother told me to take good care of my sister-in-law. He knew that some of you were deliberately making things difficult for my sister-in-law and embarrassing her."
Gu Ci's words left the people around him speechless.
Did Gu Peisi find out about them bullying Shen Qingli?
Gu Peisi is very vengeful. They are afraid that Gu Peisi will retaliate against them and drive them out of the Gu family. By then, everything they have will be gone. What should they do?
For a moment, everyone trembled and dared not say a single bad word about Shen Qingli.
"Gu Ci, you're overthinking it. How could we bully her? Qingli, please say something."
Everyone looked at Shen Qingli nervously.
Shen Qingli glanced at everyone coldly.
These relatives of the Gu family are the kind of people who look down on others and bully the weak and fear the strong. Knowing that Gu Peisi values her, they dare not bully her.
The wind direction changed very quickly.
If Gu Ci hadn't helped her out, they would have continued to mock her even if she refuted them.
"You know whether you have bullied me or not." Shen Qingli said calmly.
Her principle has always been, I will not offend others unless they offend me. In the past, she took Gu Peisi's face into consideration and did not want to say much. But now, she doesn't even give Gu Peisi face, so how could she care about their thoughts.
When those people heard Shen Qingli's words, they became extremely anxious.
Shen Qingli is too petty. She wants to retaliate against them just because they say a few words to her.
However, they forgot that as elders, they bullied Shen Qingli deliberately because they saw that she was honest.
They didn't dare to do this in front of Gu Peisi, and would only bully her in private.
Now, Shen Qingli simply refused to accept their tricks, and they still blamed the victim.
Seeing that everyone was gradually losing the upper hand, An Qionghua said with a hint of rebuke: "Qingli, don't be so petty. We, as your elders, were just joking with you. Do you have to bear a grudge like that?"
Shen Qingli laughed angrily. They were the perpetrators, and they had the nerve to accuse her of holding a grudge.
Gu Ci also heard something was wrong. He snorted coldly, "You guys don't act like elders. I don't know how much suffering my sister-in-law has endured here. Tell me, if I tell Grandpa about this, what will he do?"
The threatening words came out without hesitation. Gu Ci is indeed a sharp-tongued person. He can make people speechless with just a few words.
The elders gathered in front of Shen Qingli, held her hand and said, "Qingli, we know we were wrong, please don't tell Gu Peisi."
"We promise that we will respect you and not make things difficult for you in the future."
Shen Qingli looked at these people coldly, and she just wanted to laugh. These people, for the sake of profit, had no principles at all, and they would do whatever they were asked to do.
Seeing that everyone was suppressed by Shen Qingli, An Qionghua couldn't help but spit in her heart.
However, she was angry inside but did not show it on her face.
"I knew that Lord Qingli was magnanimous and would definitely forgive them."
An Qionghua's words were undoubtedly an attempt to flatter her so that she would not expose their crimes.
