17 16. Why are You Barking?

Translator: CTCTRANS Editor: CTCTRANS

"Yunxi!" Her mother grabbed her arm. "Did you forget what I told you at home?"

Bo Yunxi clenched her teeth and retreated to a chair, her whole body shaking with rage.

The third madam couldn't help but smile, "Yunxi apologizes sincerely. She already knows she was wrong. She and Mr. Xie have also broken up. She is emotionally unstable after falling out of love. Miss Jiang, please don't mind her."

"Really?" Jiang Yaoyao appeared indifferent.

"She even specifically assisted me in selecting a gift to give to Miss Jiang as we passed by the mall earlier." The third madam spoke while presenting a pretty pink box.

Before accepting the present, Jiang Yaoyao raised her eyelids and glanced at her.

It was the latest diamond bracelet from a particular brand.

Opening her scarlet lips again, she replied, "Madam, it's too expensive."

"As long as Miss Jiang likes it." The third lady secretly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled kindly, "Don't be so polite. Just call me aunt."

Despite her razor-sharp tongue, she was still a young woman in her early 20s.

The most alluring items for a girl this age were luxury handbags and exquisite jewelry. Things could be sorted out as long as she liked the items.

"In that case." The third madam asked, "Miss Jiang, can you delete all those photos and videos?"

She finally revealed her true purpose, huh?

Jiang Yaoyao lowered her eyes to look at the box. She asked as she lifted her delicately painted eyebrows condescendingly and haughtily. "Auntie, are you referring to ... those spicy bed photos and sex videos Miss Bo sent me?" 

Bo Yunxi nearly lost control as she pinched the tablecloth.

When she arrived, she was repeatedly warned: If these things spread, it would be awful for her and embarrassing for the Bo family. By then, Grandpa would be furious!

Since her father's passing, Bo Yunxi and her widowed mother have not been accepted into the Bo family. Both of them must stop this matter from interfering with their lives.

A man ... seemed too insignificant compared to the affluence and fortune of the Bo family!

So, she apologized to Jiang Yaoyao after ending her relationship with Xie Jinran early in the morning. If she refrained for the time being and requested Jiang Yaoyao to remove all the pictures and recordings, wouldn't she have the final say in how she wanted to retaliate?

"Miss Jiang, you're a woman as well. You should know that ladies are prone to losing their heads and even misbehaving impulsively when in love. Now, Yunxi has realized she was wrong." The third madam persuaded her, "She genuinely regrets it and has come to make amends with you. Additionally, I reassure you that we can accommodate any request you make as long as all the images and videos are removed."

Jiang Yaoyao did not respond when she heard these words. Instead, she casually took the bracelet from its box and placed it on her left wrist. However ...

"Tying it seems a little challenging."

The third madam immediately stood up and said, "Let me help you."

So --

Jiang Yaoyao sat there, boldly raising her left hand with her red lips slightly curled. 

But the Bo family's third madam, who stood at the dining table, leaned over and eagerly assisted her in tying the bracelet.

A girl across from her happened to notice this dramatic incident.

Her body froze as she opened her eyes wide.

Why was Jiang Yaoyao here?

When did she return to the Imperial Capital?

Why did she come back?

And why was the Bo family's third madam so intimate and attentive to her?

"Xue'er, what's wrong with you?" Asked the man sitting next to her.

Jiang Yingxue swiftly drew him outside after regaining her composure. "Liangchen, I just realized that the dress I previously ordered ought to have arrived. Shall we get the dress first?"

Despite not understanding why, Zhou Liangchen mutely nodded. "Okay."

The two hurriedly left.

Meanwhile, in the restaurant.

The bracelet was finally put on with the help of Mrs. Bo. 

Jiang Yaoyao shook her delicate and fair wrist.

The pink diamond sparkled with a radiant brightness, stunning and lovely.

Plus, she was wearing a nude-colored dress today, along with makeup that appeared subtle light but was quite deliberate. This bracelet completed her look with a final touch.

After appreciating it, she took up her phone and clicked it to send it to her social media.

The text continued: "The little gift I just got tonight."

Soon, people liked and commented:

[Wow, it's the latest diamond bracelet from the T family!]

[Missy, let's be friends!]

[It's so beautiful~]

[Beautiful!]

Until …

Cheng Runzhi: [Is it from Jinlan?]

Damn, she forgot to block the elders on social media ...

She put down her phone.

As Bo Yunxi, on the other side, was already getting anxious, the third madam couldn't help but say, "Miss Jiang, how about the photos and videos?"

"Since you are so sincere, Auntie ..." Jiang Yaoyao raised her eyebrows. "All right. I promise you, I will not spread any photos and videos."

Bo Yunxi jumped. "My mother asked you to delete them! Are you feigning ignorance or deafness on purpose? Can't you comprehend human language?"

Jiang Yaoyao didn't even look at her. "I'm talking to Auntie. What are you barking about? Do you have the right to speak here?"

"You …"

"Don't talk," said the third madam as she turned an unhappy glance to her daughter.

She then switched to a smile and attempted to convince Jiang Yaoyao, saying, "Of course, I believe you won't post it, but to be safe, I still hope you can delete both photos and videos. Is that okay?"

Jiang Yaoyao asked with a slight frown. "Isn't that not good?"

The third madam nearly lost her composure when she addressed her, "Miss Jiang."

"It's like this," Jiang Yaoyao explained with a serene smile. "Miss Bo and I have been friends for a very long time. Even though I don't comprehend her character as well as a mother like you, Auntie, I have endured much pain at her hands. It's a good deal of pain."

She started counting her fingers and listing:

"I was chosen to be the leader of the school anniversary dance performance during my first year in high school. She used scissors to rip up my dancing costume the day before the performance. She eventually rose to the position of dance leader and basked in endless glory."

"As the representative of the English class, she purposefully removed my paper and tore it up at the final exam of my first year of high school. As a result, I received a score of 0. I didn't just miss the summer camp. I also didn't get into the top elite class."

"She once asked several gangsters to block me on the side of the road when I was on my way to study in the evening during my sophomore year. If my uncle hadn't come to pick me up then, I might have made headlines for being a victim of teenage sexual assault."

"Jiang Yaoyao, shut up!" Bo Yunxi rudely offended her, saying, "You're talking nonsense! You're slandering me!"
