Destined with You

The driver hopped out to open the backseat door. First, a red shoe landed on the ground, then a moment later Zhou Mantong appeared in Gu Qingxin’s sight.

She was wearing a red sleeveless dress. Her meticulously styled long hair drew to one side. She held a limited edition Chanel bag and walked over in ten-centimeter heels.

Zhou Mantong was not exceptionally beautiful, just above average at best. However, she dressed well, and cared for her figure, which made her seem enticing despite her fourties.

“Qingxin, long time no see!” Zhou Mantong removed her sunglasses to look at the girl at the door.

This little bitch, she had become even more beautiful after some time away.

“You’re not welcome here!” Gu Qingxin watched her without any change in expression.

Lin Yin saw her from the window and also came out, frowning at the woman, “What are you doing here?”

“Sis, no wonder Qingxin is becoming more and more rude. She learned it from you!” Zhou Mantong idly played with her long hair, her words dripping with scorn.

“The politeness depends on the person! You… do you deserve it!” Gu Qingxin wouldn’t be as polite as before with her, bearing a hint of mockery.

“Qingxin …” Lin Yin pulled her daughter, not wanting her to stoop down to this person’s level.

“Sis, this little girl is becoming more and more rude! I must teach her a lesson today!”

Zhou Mantong didn’t expect Gu Qingxin to curse at her to her face. Especially after the last time when both her and her daughter had been at a disadvantage, she wished she could give this little bitch a good slap or two.

“My daughter, it is not your turn to discipline! If you have something to say, say it. If not, leave. You truly aren’t welcome here!” Lin Yin was not polite with her either. Some people would just take an inch when given an inch.

“You think I want to come to this shithole! I came here today to warn you! Don’t think that by refusing to divorce Huai’an, he will still want you! Look at yourself now! Where is he a match for you!”

Zhou Mantong was full of pride, a stark contrast to the humble, obedient servant she’d once been in the Gu family.

“You don’t need to warn me, you don’t have that authority! It’s not me who doesn’t want to divorce Gu Huai’an, he doesn’t want to! If you can get him to divorce me, I will thank you.” Lin Yin replied in a lukewarm manner.

“What do you mean by these words! Huai’an not divorcing you, don’t flatter yourself, you’re no beauty!”

“Okay, I’ve said everything. If you don’t believe it, go ask Gu Huai’an yourself.” Lin Yin pulled her daughter into the flower shop and ignored her.

Zhou Mantong angrily stamped her foot and then turned to leave.

Gu Qingxin saw her mother’s face turned sour, so she poured her a glass of water and reassured her, “Mom, don’t get angry because of people like her.”

“Qingxin, there’s something I’ve never told you.” Lin Yin took a sip of water, finally feeling a bit more at ease.

“What is it?” Gu Qingxin was puzzled; what could her mother still have not told her?

“When your grandfather was alive, he left a will. He left thirty percent of the shares in the Gu Group to us.”

“…”

Gu Qingxin didn’t know that her grandfather had actually left shares to her and her mother.
