The Bumpy Road of Marriage: The Ex-Wife Is Expecting-Chapter 619 - A One Worded Retaliation
Chapter 619: A One Worded Retaliation
“Tsk, then douse your flames, I’m going to give Brother Chu a call and ask him,” said Shui Anluo as she promptly hung up.
The situation has developed beyond her expectations. She had thought that Feng Feng would get Qiao Yaruan’s opinion regardless of the outcome. She never expected him to make the decision on his own and though this method as well.
Shui Anluo was tired from standing. She sat down on a corner of the sofa and called Chu Ningyi.
Meanwhile, Chu Ningyi’s large office was reeking with the flames of war.
Gu Qingchen was glaring at Chu Ningyi with her hands on her hips. “What’re you trying to pull? That Luo-something, how does he know where I am all the time? In case you don’t know, he’s driving me crazy!”
Chu Ningyi looked down and fiddled with his phone. His expression was completely indifferent as he replied, “I’m very busy today. Do you really think that I have the time to concern myself with your affairs?”
“Who else would know where I am at all times besides you?” Gu Qingchen pressed her hands on Chu Ningyi’s table. “You’re my cousin,” she spat through gritted teeth.
“Oh, right, I forgot to mention that Luo Xuan is your cousin-in-law’s cousin.” Chu Ningyi added calmly as if he had only remembered this fact now.
“Shui Anluo’s cousin?” Gu Qingchen slowly straightened up and stared at her cousin’s face, looking increasingly malevolent. “F*ck, you’re retaliating.” He was retaliating at her for calling Shui Anluo a walking disaster that day.
Chu Ningyi spun the phone in his hand before he suddenly gripped it tightly. He looked up the enraged woman.
“It’s inappropriate for a woman to use the word ‘f*ck’. Furthermore, your response is lagging.” Chu Ningyi leaned back on his chair and stared at the fuming woman. “It’s working hours so get out and do your work.”
“You’re abusing your power for personal revenge, I’m telling Auntie,” Gu Qingchen threatened angrily.
“How am I abusing my power for personal revenge? He had looked for you after office hours. That’s got nothing to do with my power,” Chu Ningyi explained matter-of-factly.
Gu Qingchen placed her hands on the table again. “When are you going to stop betraying my whereabouts to him?”
The phone in his hand suddenly vibrated. Chu Ningyi saw the word ‘Wife’ on the display screen and waved his phone in front of Gu Qingchen. “After you’ve paid your dues to your cousin-in-law.”
Gu Qingchen snatched the phone away, shot Chu Ningyi a glare and answered the call.
“Brother Chu, I…”
“Cousin-in-law, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have called you a walking disaster.” Gu Qingchen said snappily. She stretched her arm out and covered the receiver as she asked, “Is that enough?”
She was nearly thirty years old. She never thought that she would suffer this kind of retaliation from her cousin and it had been all for the sake of a woman too.
It looks like Shui Anluo was now a compelling force for her cousin, a compelling force that could not be overcome.
Therefore, she should keep her distance.
“It lacks sincerity.” Chu Ningyi took the phone from her. “However, I’ll let it go just this once for your aunt’s sake. Get out.”
Gu Qingchen’s cousin nearly caused her to vomit blood. What kind of cousin was he?
Shui Anluo was still in a daze…
‘What just happened?’
‘That person who had just spoken to me was… Gu Qingchen?’
‘Furthermore, she had apologized to me. Gu Qingchen had called me a walking disaster?’
Shui Anluo wracked her brains seriously but after half a day’s worth of consideration, she figured out that Gu Qingchen must have said it when she had hurt her leg and was admitted into the hospital.
She had not thought too much about it so, naturally, she had never hoped for Gu Qingchen’s apology.
“What’s wrong?” Chu Ningyi’s elegant voice suddenly rang out with a leisurely smile.
