Chapter 1000: Exposure
....Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Madame Lin was at a loss for words. “Well…”
Qiao Xuan didn’t give her a chance to think. She tugged at her sleeves. “Mrs. Lin, am I wrong?”
Madame Lin had no choice but to shake her head. “You are right…”
“I knew Mrs. Lin is a very understanding person!” Qiao Xuan looked up at Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Han. “Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Han, tell me, what did I do wrong? Should I apologize to you? What would be the point?”
Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Han flushed with embarra.s.sment.
Madame Lin had just informed them of what Qiao Xuan said, and now Qiao Xuan was interrogating them. They couldn’t counter Madame Lin’s statement, and they had no choice but to remain silent.
Annoyance began to well up within them towards Qiao Xuan.
As a couple, they felt even more humiliated in front of the gathered guests.
They weren’t as quick-witted or as audacious as Qiao Xuan. Panic set in, leaving them dumbfounded and unable to utter a word, as beads of sweat formed on their foreheads.
Madame Han snapped, her voice filled with anger. “So many people have said that Mrs. Shao is trying to drag us into her grudge!”
Qiao Xuan almost burst into laughter, inwardly cursing at Madame Han’s foolishness.
She wasn’t about to let go of this opportunity.
She responded instantly, “Mrs. Han, what are you talking about? I only heard the two of you speak. No one else said a word. Mrs. Han, please point it out.”
All eyes turned to Madame Han with disapproval.
Madame Han was taken aback, realizing she had misspoken. Her face flushed with embarra.s.sment, feeling deeply humiliated.
“You’re up to no good!” Madame Han exclaimed.
Qiao Xuan responded with curiosity, “Of course, I am up to no good. Mrs. Han, you spoke those words of your own accord, without any coercion from me. I am merely following your lead. If you don’t wish to answer me, I will pretend I never heard anything. You are accusing me without any valid reason, and it’s quite perplexing.”
Mrs. Han’s eyes widened, her lips quivered, and her face flushed with a mix of anger and embarra.s.sment. How delightful!
The others couldn’t bear the situation any longer.
It had become incredibly embarra.s.sing for Mrs. Han.
If given the chance, she would have loved nothing more than to tear Mrs. Shao apart.
They all sighed inwardly, realizing that Mrs. Shao was not someone to be trifled with. Editor Shao was a Primus, and he couldn’t be foolish enough to offend the Tian Family just to protect his wife. Mrs. Shao couldn’t possibly be an idiot!
Even Madame Qin grew weary of the situation.
She had a sense that she couldn’t afford to provoke this woman, so she abandoned the idea. It would be immensely embarra.s.sing if her attempts to confront Qiao Xuan backfired.
Concerns about her husband’s position and Qiao Xuan’s temper had made everyone yield to her demands in the past, and she was well aware of that fact.
Now, they realized they had kicked a hornet’s nest… well, never mind…
Madame Min forced a laugh and tried to appear relaxed. “I believe it’s just a misunderstanding. We are all friends here, and we will be spending a lot of time together in the future. We can discuss things calmly, there’s no need to be so serious, right?”
A collective sigh of relief swept through the room, and everyone nodded with forced smiles.
Madame Lin expressed her grat.i.tude to Madame Min and smiled. “It’s entirely my fault as the host! I haven’t served you properly, please forgive me! Let’s have some more tea and continue our conversation. We’ll have dinner soon, and we can enjoy a pleasant chat afterward!”
