Chapter 268: Chapter 268: Gu Hui’s Backer Arrives—She’s Not Afraid Anymore

“Hey, little girl, it’s your turn to pay～”

Chi Youyou waved her small hand in front of Gu Hui when she didn’t react.

“What did you say!”

The girl was only 10 years old, aware that her family was wealthy, but she had never paid several million for jewelry all at once.

“Didn’t you just say you’d take all of them? It’s a total of 7.8 million.”

Chi Youyou had no intention of letting her off the hook. She pointed at the salesgirl by the counter, “That lady has been tallying it up behind you for ages. Don’t tell me you don’t have any money!”

“Who says I don’t have money!”

“If you’ve got money, then pay up.”

The girl’s temper couldn’t withstand Chi Youyou’s provocation, and she couldn’t help but retort at whatever Chi Youyou said.

Chi Youyou stifled a laugh, nodding towards her, “Stop standing there. Look how busy you’re making that lady.”

“You…”

“What’s your ’you’ about! From how you look, you’re clearly broke. If you don’t have money, don’t flaunt it! So young and already trying to show off!”

Chi Zaozao: Thumbs up.

Okay, I take back what I said about Chi Youyou being completely useless; at least in playing tricks and out-talking people, I can’t compare!

Gu Xintang was also stunned, her little hand in Chi Youyou’s large palm, her small head looking up at her, feeling a rush of admiration.

“What’s going on? Huihui?”

“Mom!”

At this moment, a woman’s questioning voice came from the store entrance, and upon seeing the newcomer, Gu Hui’s eyes instantly reddened and she rushed over.

“Mommy! They’re bullying me!”

Turns out the backup has arrived～

Chi Youyou turned around to see a woman in heavy makeup and sneered.

They say parents are the role models for their children. Kids are like blank slates from birth.

How parents behave is often how children end up behaving!

Her bratty demeanor earlier clearly showed she was spoiled at home.

Chi Youyou had no say in this because if their family liked to spoil her, then so be it.

But what she said and did went too far!

Calling someone a motherless bastard!

If this wasn’t something she often heard adults at home say, how would a child know?

“Don’t cry, don’t cry. What happened exactly?”

The woman comforted Gu Hui while holding her.

She was Zhai Yun, the wife of the Gu Family’s second son.

“Tangtang? What are you doing here? Where’s your dad?”

“Mom, it’s this bastard and that seductress who teamed up to bully me!”

Now that her mom was here, Gu Hui felt emboldened and pointed at them, making her accusations!

“Huihui!”

Upon hearing the word “bastard,” Zhai Yun immediately screamed and scolded, “What has mommy taught you! Don’t pick up on the bad habits of your siblings! This is your sister!”

Thankfully she reacted quickly.

This little brat, how many times had she told her not to call names when people are around? If Gu Sinan overhears, they won’t fare well!

He himself was an illegitimate child of the Gu family and absolutely detested the word “bastard.”

Rumor had it that someone had whispered the word ’bastard’ behind his back, and that person was never seen in Imperial City again.

Only God knows what happened to him…

She nervously glanced around, relieved he wasn’t there.

“Tangtang, Second Aunt apologizes to you on behalf of your sister. She didn’t do it on purpose. You know she usually loves to play with you the most, right?”

Zhai Yun tried to approach Gu Xintang, but she dodged her.

The small body hid behind Chi Youyou, face full of resistance.

This woman claiming to be her Second Aunt didn’t really like her at all, fake pretenses!

“Sorry, Tangtang is rather introverted and doesn’t like getting close to people she’s not familiar with.”

Only then did Zhai Yun take notice of Chi Youyou and studied this beautiful woman curiously.

Many movie stars weren’t as pretty as her!

So, is she Gu Sinan’s latest favorite?

She subtly furrowed her brows, then put on a smile, “I’m sorry, Miss, I’m Tangtang’s Second Aunt. May I ask who you are?”

Although Chi Youyou had previously attended Mr. Song’s banquet and Mr. Song publicly acknowledged her identity.

Not all Gu Family members were eligible to attend that banquet, people like Zhai Yun were not qualified.

So she didn’t know Chi Youyou at all.

In her circle, it was only known that the benevolent Mr. Song accepted a country girl’s betrothal agreement.

So in Zhai Yun’s eyes, the woman in front of her was indeed as her daughter said, someone trying to climb up the social ladder through the Gu family.

Otherwise, why would her daughter have called her a seductress?

“Sorry, I’m not very familiar with the Gu family, but judging by Tangtang’s demeanor, she doesn’t seem very close to you. Moreover, this little girl just now rushed up and verbally attacked Tangtang, which I don’t consider to be the way relatives act. Mr. Gu entrusted Tangtang to my care, so I am responsible for her safety.”

Chi Youyou shielded Tangtang behind her and said coldly.

Her words were flawless; there were witnesses at the scene, and even if they didn’t admit it, there were cameras.

They didn’t seem like relatives at all; no family would start pointing fingers with insults right off the bat!

No matter how much you dislike each other, one would at least put on a show outside; after all, family scandals shouldn’t be exposed.

Upon hearing this, Zhai Yun’s smile became a bit stiff.

But she held back.

How could she be the steady second lady of the Gu family without some tolerance?

“It was all a misunderstanding just now. Kids are easily misled and don’t understand these things. Tangtang, sister Huihui didn’t mean it, Second Aunt apologizes to you.”

“Mom!”

“Shut up! It’s all because I spoiled you!”

Chi Youyou watched their act with cold eyes, “If that’s the case, clearing things up and apologizing should suffice, but I think a child will remember what should and shouldn’t be said more if they apologize themselves.”

Damn it!

Hearing her words, Zhai Yun cursed in her heart but smiled and nodded, “Yes, you’re right.”

“Mom! I won’t apologize, they’re the ones bullying me! They tricked me! Forcing me to buy things!”

“Be good, apologize to sister Tangtang, it’s only right to buy gifts for your sister, besides, with mommy here, you won’t need to pay!”

Zhai Yun didn’t know what had happened earlier and thought they were punishing her for calling names by making her buy something as an apology.

If money can solve it, all the better.

If it reached Gu Sinan, it wouldn’t be worth the trouble!

“But!”

“No buts! Buying a gift to apologize to your sister is only right!”

She said this while pushing her forward and pulled out her card, “Charge it.”

“Uh… Mrs. Gu, there are quite a lot of things…”

“How much in total?”

“Seven point eight million…”
