old tyrant
the happy family ate and drank and laughed till the butler uncle Shi came and whispered something into Xiao He's ear which had him widening his eyes till they almost popped out
his single act drew the attention of everyone in the living room
" old madam Bo is here!! " he announced with shock written on his face,his announcement made everyone panick
" what could...." He Yemin was interrupted by an elegant middle aged woman,she was dresses in traditional clothing of ox blood color and brown designs,she carried an air of arrogance and pride
" seem like your butler has a special way of announcing my arrival" she said as she gracefully walked to the couch
" old madam Bo,it's a pleasure meeting you.....to what do....." she interrupted He Yemin rudely as she hissed and sat down,her actions were clearly dominating and looking down on the Xiao family hostess
" how uncultured.....tsk tsk tsk,you can't welcome a guest" she said ignorantly the she noticed the mixed foul mood of everyone and turned her gaze to Xiao He and He Yemin
" do you think I behaved rudely by sitting down when you were bombarding me with questions?...." she asked with raised brows
" no old madam Bo,Yemin was just igno..." Xiao He wanted to save face for his dear wife but old madam Bo rudely cut him off
"...sighs...an old and weak,you don't expect an over seventy five years old madam like me to stand and listen to you?...." she calmly asked observing their facial expressions
' she's over seventy five? I heard that the old madam of the great Bo family is an astounding beauty who won against time,she looks younger than Qin Qiao's mother....I like her' Xiao Min thought while giving old madam Bo a smile
' why is she here? we all know that the Bo family is rich but they can't look down on the Xiao family now we are joining the Qin family' Xiao Li thought as she scoffed,she hated the Bo family so much
' the legend of the city H never ageing beauty is true,old madam Bo is a stunning one...' Qin Qiao shook his head wondering why the Bo family remained the richest family even after the only heir has been proclaimed handicap
" we are sorry old madam, please pardon u......" He Yemin tried to explain but was interrupted by old madam Bo
" I heard that the Xiao family has two daughters?..." she asked with her chin lifted arrogantly
Xiao Li lifted her chin proudly " our Xiao min is the best young lady in city H,the Qin family made the right choice by choosing our MinMin..."
old madam Bo sized her up and scoffed arrogantly " do bitchiness run in your household?"
Qin Qiao was getting uncomfortable for not being noticed " old madam Bo, don't you think it's ...."
" and who might you be?" she arrogantly sized him up
("--")
Xiao Min felt insulted when her soon to be fiance was looked down on,she suddenly disliked old madam Bo
" old madam Bo, don't you think it's rude to look down on someone,he is our minmin's fiance,he is the young master of the Qiao family...." Xiao Li snorted loudly as she leaned closer to gently stroke Xiao Min's hands
old madam Bo inevitably ignored Xiao Li and turned her gaze to Qin Qiao
" young master Qin,I never saw you!"
her arrogance insulted Qin Qiao and pierced Xiao Min's proud heart
" it's no problem old madam Bo,I don't really need my presence to be noticed,how is young master Bo?" he asked keenly drawing everyone's attention,looking to pierce through old madam Bo's arrogant and proud nature
" hahahahaha....young master Qin! our Zhang is absolutely fantastic, he's getting better"
" it's indeed a good news,I think young master Bo should get back into the business field,I feel like the business rankings are going to change soon" he arrogantly said as held Xiao Min's hands dearly,old madam Bo watched their movements and laughed inwardly
" old madam Bo,we are.... wondering why you visited our poor home?" Xiao He asked as he couldn't handle the way old madam Bo was looking down on his family
" well am here to propose marriage to the eldest daughter of the Xiao family....." she was interrupted by a low scream from Xiao Min
" nooooo! mother no! father I don't want to marry anyone but Qin Qiao....." she was apprehensive about leaving Qin Qiao,she made a lot of effort to steal him from Xiao Ji,if not for the richest family in the capital,she wouldn't leave Qin Qiao and not for a sickling
" the young lady of the Xiao family is uncultured in habits....." the old woman said as she patted her gorgeous white perm curls
" old madam please do not mind my daughter,she loves young master Qin that she doesn't want to think of leaving him, they are engaged" He Yemin said awkwardly as she tried to calm the situation
"... ohh...." she said as she stared at Qin Qiao and Xiao min like they were fools " I never heard of such engagement"
" you don't know old madam Bo but our MinMin and young master Qin fell in love at first sight,their engagement is to be held on our Minmin's birthday......"
" I think you should stay out of this second madam Wan.." what she said really hit on Xiao Li's soft spot,the fact that she was just a concubine of the master of the Wan family has always left a stain on her insulting and imposing nature,she had come in between master Wan and his loving wife Shu Yan breaking the once happy family
" please old madam Bo, don't mind my little sister, please continue...." Xiao He said to stop the old lady from insulting his shameless sister
" I would like to propose marriage to the younger miss of the Xiao family..." old madam Bo proposed marriage to Xiao Ji
her proposal enticed the whole Xiao family,they felt it was proper for her to take it up,after all they painstakingly brought her up
Qin Qiao was the only one who felt wronged by the decision,he still loved Xiao Ji and wanted her for himself
old madam Bo noticed his facial expressions and smirked inwardly ' young master Qin still has feelings for the second young miss of the Xiao family, how amazing!'
