Chapter 97: Chapter 97: Your Sister-in-law Has Something to Tell You

The waiting person also heard the door open and casually took a sip of tea before slowly turning around, her well-maintained face carrying a hollow fake smile: "Qili, I haven’t disturbed your class, have I?"

Gu Qili stopped at the door, not entering. Hearing her words, she slightly curled the corners of her mouth, about to turn and leave.

"How unlucky. I have another class soon, so no need for farewells."

Qi Meihui saw that she was really about to go and immediately got up, rushing out with large strides and spread her arms to stop her.

Her face was annoyed, yet she had to forcibly suppress it, "Qili, your sister-in-law has something to say to you, what’s the rush?"

Sister-in-law?

She’s really killing me. Since she married into the Mu Family, when has Qi Meihui ever shown her a kind face, and when has she ever considered her as part of the Mu Family?

"Just say what you want to say, no need to beat around the bush," Gu Qili didn’t give any face, seemingly in a real hurry to get to her class, glancing at her watch with an impatient expression.

Qi Meihui, truly afraid that she would turn away, suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist, "Qili, we are both daughters-in-law of the Mu Family, we are one family. Although I may be a bit sharp-tongued normally, I never meant to target you on purpose. You also know that dad doesn’t like you, but I don’t know how many good things I’ve said about you behind your back."

Gu Qili sneered coldly, her brain must have been squeaked by a door that she’d believe her nonsense; it’s behind her back that who knows how much badmouthing had happened.

"Actually, it’s nothing big," Qi Meihui’s eyes darted around, "I heard that you want to sue Mr. Guan from the Guan Family, is that true?"

"If that weren’t the case, would you still be standing here?" Gu Qili’s words were laced with sarcasm, "What, you want to plead for the Guan Family?"

Qi Meihui didn’t expect her to be so direct, as if she had seen right through her intentions.

"Not to hide it from you, our Qi Family has been close friends with the Guan Family for generations, and our relationship has always been good. After Guan Zhe got in trouble, Guan Dalong came to find me, hoping I could talk to you. Qili, can you not pursue this matter for the sake of our two families’ relationship? It’s for your own good, and for the good of both our Mu Family and yours. Why cause dissent over a moment of anger? You want to continue studying at this school, right? It wouldn’t be good for people to find out, would it?"

Gu Qili sneered and forcefully withdrew her wrist from her grip, leaving a red mark; Qi Meihui really had some strength.

"Sorry, but that’s your Qi Family’s good relationship with them, not ours, the Gu Family. Why should I give him a pass on your word?"

Qi Meihui’s face darkened, and anger emanated from her, the Qi Family with their large business and influence, since when did it become her turn, a bankrupt former rich girl, to talk back to them.

"To put it unpleasantly, if it had been your daughter who was almost raped that night, put yourself in my shoes, would you still stand here and say these things to me? Qi Meihui, our relationship hasn’t reached such depths, and moreover, I never thought that you would be so kind as to plead for Guan Zhe out of goodwill; surely the Guan Family has promised you quite a few benefits."

Qi Meihui seemed to have been hit where it hurt, her tone becoming sharp: "Gu Qili, don’t snub the wine only to be forced to drink a forfeit, what are you worth anyway, clinging to the Mu Family without any shame. Do you think Shuoqian really likes you? Let me tell you, you are nothing more than a toy to him, one that will be kicked away once he’s had enough of you, he has countless women outside..."

"Oh, turns out I have that many women outside, this is the first time I’m hearing about it." The voice that suddenly came from behind was cold as ice, both Qi Meihui and Gu Qili were taken aback.
