Chapter 85

Qiang groaned and rubbed his buttocks, his eyes glaring at the towering woman, who held cold gazes as they both continued to stare at each other.

He slowly stands up from the ground, walking towards Meixiu as he points his fingers at her chest.

"You don't have any right to interfere."

He spoke, his voice laced with venom as it combined jealousy, anxiousness, and bitterness. Qiang only wanted what was best for him and his family.

And he knows, in the future, that Xiaohui will be the reason why their only business will fail. Xiaohui is an emotional person.

Once she steps into a higher position, her projects might involve charity. Meaning she wouldn't earn even a single penny from doing so.

He knew, and he knows.

After living in the Zheng Villa before she was even kicked out for accepting a piece of trash as a wife, Xiaohui has been telling her grandfather about the charity work.

Of course, being the only genius in their family makes the old master trust her every move. Not until Meixiu went and made it easy for Qiang to destroy.

Upon hearing the proposal of Xiaohui's father and her agreement, the old master felt betrayed and thought that Xiaohui wasn't a genius at all.

She only cares about what other people think of her.

She was viewed as a people-pleaser.

But Qiang couldn't understand: why would Grandpa Zheng give the director position to Xiaohui?

If it's about the project they got from Sapphire Group, he can do it himself!

Although he knows deep down, Grandpa Zheng still favored Xiaohui in any way.

Meixiu raised an eyebrow at what he said, her hands lying in a protective position as she kept Xiaohui behind her.

"What do you mean? I am the wife, so I have the rights."

"You don't; it's a family matter. Are you even considered one?"

Qiang asks, his smirk playing on his mouth as he sees how Meixiu's expression didn't change at all.

The taller woman smiles and nods; her head gaze glances at the smaller woman behind her with a smile.

"For Xiaohui, I am a family."

Qiang scoffs in the process. He dusted his clothes before waving at them and going towards the door.

Before he can completely go out, he looks back at Xiaohui and says.

"I'll be back in no time to do something."

And a loud shut of the door was heard. Xiaohui flinches in the process; her eyes shake in fear as she quickly heaves a sigh of relief.

Meixiu glances at her; her hand gently holds the woman's face to look for any bruises.

"Are you alright?"

She asks, her voice laced with worry as her eyes wander on to Xiaohui's arms.

The smaller woman's eyes watered, and her arms quickly flung towards Meixiu's torso. Her face was buried on the woman's chest as she quietly sobbed.

Meixiu got caught off guard by Xiaohui's action. Her arms wrapped slowly around the woman's fragile frame as she comforted her.

"It's alright; I'll always be here to protect you."

She whispered, her eyes burning with angriness as her wife cried on her arms.

-

"What took you so long, Meixiu?"

Qi asks, her arms crossing as Meixiu walks in front of her. The taller woman smiles before shaking her head and walking towards the passenger seat.

"I need to comfort her."

"Why? What happened?"

As soon as Qi sat down on the driver's seat, her body voluntarily faced the latter.

Meixiu raises an eyebrow, her hand pointed at the steering wheel in front of the younger woman.

"Drive, then I'll tell."

"Ok!"

Qi said it enthusiastically. She quickly opened the car and drove away from the Zheng Company.

Qi and Meixiu tell stories to each other on their way to the Zheng Company. The reason they went was because Xiaohui forgot a folder.

Meixiu knew it was important, as when they were eating lunch, Xiaohui told her that the folder contained an important report she's going to present to the old master.

And in the process, Meixiu got overwhelmed with how respectful Qi is; she instructed the younger to call her by her first name.

Qi is almost like Mingzhu in the process.

"Damn, that Qiang does have a thick face."

Meixiu nodded at what the younger said. Her body quickly turned in Qi's direction.

"Anyway, you were about to say something, but Xiaohui interrupted us."

Meixiu said, referring to when Qi was asking her to brunch. The younger woman furrowed her eyebrows before her mouth circled.

"Right, well, my father wanted to invite you to a family gathering that's going to happen next week."

Meixiu nodded and looked out of the window, feeling the car stop at a small shop beside the street.

"Why does he want me there?"

Meixiu went out of the car, her head turning towards the driver's seat area as Qi went out as well, her head shaking in the process.

"No idea."

"I'll see what I can do."

"Thanks; he's been bugging me to invite you."

Meixiu's phone rang, causing her to stop on her track. She instructed Qi to go in first before she answered the phone.

"Hello?"

"Ms. Song! I apologize; you might be busy."

"I am quite busy; who is this?"

"You forgot me already, Ms. Song?"

A flirty voice is heard from the other line. Meixiu's eyebrows furrowed upon learning who the person was.

Why is she suddenly calling her?

"I'm sorry, a lot has happened."

"It's fine, Ms. Song; I'm Yang Qing, Jiang Duyi's lover."

Meixiu hums in response. Her eyes look at the street, and her eyes widen upon seeing the woman on the other line waving at her.

"You saw me."

She spoke, her lips lacing with a flirtacious smile as she slowly walked in the taller woman's direction. Her hips were swaying seductively.

Men around her look in her direction, even those who have their partner beside them.

Yang Qing has a body that everyone dreams of. Her waist is as thin as it can get, and her chest is big yet perfect for her body.

And her butt is so plump that it looks like a squishy ball. Her face also does add up, although she has full makeup on.

With the tight maroon dress she's wearing right now, her curves are visible for everyone to see.

Yet, she only wants to attract someone.

Qing smiles widely, and she quickly hangs up the phone as soon as she's in front of the taller woman.

Meixiu looks at her up and down before putting her phone in her pocket.

"What are you doing here?"

"I was walking, and I happened to see you."

Qing spoke with seduction lacing in her voice. Meixiu's eyebrows raise in the process; is it really a coincidence or did she plan this?

Qing's smile widens as she looks inside the store and sees a woman looking at both of them, causing her to scoff.

"Is there a problem?"

Meixiu caught the scoff leaving the woman's lips. Qing got caught off guard, causing her to smile and shake her head.

"Nothing; are you here alone?"

Qing asked the obvious question, and her eyes landed on the woman inside as they both held eye contact with each other.

Meixiu saw how her eyes went toward someone. She quickly followed her gaze and saw her looking at Qi.

"No, I'm with someone."
