Chapter 156: Chapter 0156: Qiu Ruoxi’s Outburst
In an instant, Qiu Ruoxi’s mind was flooded with countless thoughts. Was she here to settle scores with her again?
This was too much of a bullying, wasn’t it? She had been infuriated at the company today, with nowhere to vent, and now she had stormed into her home.
Moreover, her parents were chatting with her with beaming smiles, and Ye Xunhuan also was smiling, seemingly talking about something.
Upon seeing Qiu Ruoxi, Xiahou Yutong immediately waved at her.
Qin Rumeng then looked at Qiu Ruoxi with a slightly provocative gaze.
"Ruoxi, come over here!"
Qiu Ruoxi, with a gloomy face, reluctantly walked towards Xiahou Yutong.
"Mom..."
"Ruoxi, let me introduce you. This is Xunhuan’s aunt, also your aunt. Come, call her Auntie!" Xiahou Yutong said to Qiu Ruoxi with a gentle face.
Upon hearing Xiahou Yutong’s words, Qiu Ruoxi was stunned, her eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Qin Rumeng in front of her.
At this moment, Qiu Ruoxi felt her brain wasn’t functioning well enough!
The elusive owner behind Fenghua Group turned out to be Ye Xunhuan’s aunt, and she had also had an unpleasant encounter with her at the company. Most importantly, Qin Rumeng was her elder, her husband’s aunt, so she...
Before Qiu Ruoxi could speak, Qin Rumeng said sarcastically, "I dare not let her call me aunt, the CEO of Huangtu Group, an entity that dares to kick me out!"
Upon hearing Qin Rumeng’s words, Xiahou Yutong and Qiu Shuihan were slightly startled!
Immediately, Qiu Shuihan’s face darkened as he asked Qiu Ruoxi, "Ruoxi, what’s going on?"
Ye Xunhuan had a bitter smile on his face, knowing that Qin Rumeng was not merely accompanying him to listen to perfumes at Xiang Shui Xie, she definitely intended to continue making things difficult for Qiu Ruoxi.
A woman, oh, a woman, it’s better not to offend them, especially a woman like Qin Rumeng.
Qiu Ruoxi’s expression immediately turned ugly. It was clear that Qin Rumeng was trying to use her parents to deal with her. Unable to help herself, Qiu Ruoxi clenched her teeth and bit her lips.
"You have offended your aunt; hurry up and apologize to her!"
"Never mind!" Qin Rumeng waved her hand and said, "How can I let her apologize to me? It should be me apologizing to her!"
"Mr. Qiu, today’s matter was my fault. I hope you can be magnanimous and not stoop to my level."
Upon hearing Qin Rumeng’s words, full of irony and mockery, Qiu Ruoxi’s face started changing colors from pale to flushed.
Upon seeing Qin Rumeng actually apologizing to Qiu Ruoxi, Qiu Shuihan’s face immediately turned ugly: "Qiu Ruoxi, your father is asking you something!"
At this moment, Qiu Ruoxi’s heart was filled with grievance. It was her who had deliberately attacked me, making me lose face at the company, and now she actually had the nerve to play the victim!
Ye Xunhuan, seeing Qiu Shuihan’s face tensing up, quickly said, "Dad, please don’t be angry, don’t be angry. Auntie was just joking with Ruoxi, just joking!"
As he spoke, Ye Xunhuan turned his head to Qin Rumeng, "Auntie, please stop making it difficult for Ruoxi!"
Qin Rumeng scoffed heavily, "If it weren’t for her being your wife, just for the fact she dared to call me a shrew, I would have shown her what’s what!"
Ye Xunhuan’s face was full of annoyance, you might as well have kept quiet; your words are just adding fuel to the fire.
As soon as Qin Rumeng’s words fell, Qiu Shuihan’s expression immediately became stern: "Qiu Ruoxi, what exactly did you do to your aunt?"
"Dad, I... I..."
"What ’I’? Kneel down and apologize to your aunt!" Qiu Shuihan said coldly, "Otherwise, get out of my house!"
Tears slowly started to form in Qiu Ruoxi’s eyes, and her face filled with an unprecedented sense of grievance. Clenching her teeth, she looked at Qiu Shuihan and said, "Dad, why should I apologize to her? Do you know what she has done to me..."
At that moment, Qiu Ruoxi finally exploded.
She had already been holding back a stomach full of fire at the company, and there was no way to vent it. Now, Qin Rumeng had even followed her home, and it seemed like she was not going to let it go. Moreover, Qiu Shuihan was demanding her to apologize without knowing the facts, even to kneel.
She, Qiu Ruoxi, would not suffer this indignity!
"She caused trouble in my company, criticizing and gossiping about me. I tolerated it once, but she just became more demanding..."
"Is it just leaving?" Tears uncontrollably slid from Qiu Ruoxi’s eyes, "Then I’ll leave, you really think I don’t dare to leave!"
Having said that, Qiu Ruoxi ran straight out of the house.
Everyone has a temper. She tolerated it when asked to marry Ye Xunhuan, but now she was even being made to kneel and apologize to Qin Rumeng. If it had really been her fault, she would apologize, but she didn’t believe she was in the wrong.
"You..."
"Dad, don’t be rash, don’t be rash!" Ye Xunhuan looked at his father-in-law’s right hand beginning to shake, as if he might chase after Qiu Ruoxi and slap her any moment, and he urgently spoke up.
"Qiu brother, your daughter isn’t bad, she has character, even dares to talk back to you!" Qin Rumeng couldn’t resist adding fuel to the fire.
This comment from Qin Rumeng made Qiu Shuihan’s anger surge dramatically, his face immediately darkening.
Just then, Ye Xunhuan suddenly stood up, his face cold as he said, "Auntie, enough!"
Ye Xunhuan knew his father-in-law’s temper all too well—it was like dynamite, just a slight spark could set it off, and now Qin Rumeng was clearly trying to provoke Qiu Shuihan.
Seeing Ye Xunhuan suddenly snap, Qin Rumeng was taken aback, "You dare to yell at me..."
"Auntie, that’s enough!" Ye Xunhuan’s tone was somewhat stern, "If you continue making a fuss, I’ll call grandpa immediately and have someone take you back!"
"You..."
Qin Rumeng’s anger was nearly bursting, this little bastard, he had turned against her. Not that it just stopped at not helping her, but he had even threatened her!
"You just stay put here, and if you cause more trouble, see how I deal with you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xunhuan quickly ran out the door, chasing after Qiu Ruoxi.
"You get back here!"
Ye Xunhuan ignored Qin Rumeng completely and sprinted out of the villa. He could see that Qiu Ruoxi was very angry and deeply aggrieved.
But considering everything, it made sense. Qiu Ruoxi had already been quite distressed today, and now, coming home, her own father scolded her without asking for her side of the story—how could she not explode?
Luckily, Qiu Ruoxi had just run out, not gone too far, and soon Ye Xunhuan caught up with her.
"Wife..."
"Get away, get away!" Tears lined Qiu Ruoxi’s cheeks as she tried to break free from Ye Xunhuan’s grasp but failed. So, she yelled, "Now you see, you see the joke I am, are you satisfied, are you happy?"
