She spoke in such a self - assured tone as if this sofa had her name inscribed on it.
Upon hearing this, a flicker of contempt flashed across Mrs. Fu's eyes.
She sized up this so - called Mrs. Gu from head to toe and gave a disdainful snort.
Was this woman, with her acerbic words and vulgar demeanor, really the wife of the chairman of the Gu Group?
It was said that she had just made a big deal. No wonder she seemed to exude an unpleasant aura.
"Is your name written on this seat?"
Tao Yirou folded her arms and snorted coldly, "Don't you know who I am?"
She was the most exalted in status among this group of guests. The other guests had voluntarily offered her the best seat. These two in front of her were not even guests, yet they dared to sit in her place!
"Oh? You reek of something. You don't seem like someone of exalted status," Mrs. Fu lowered her head and smiled.
As she spoke, she raised her hand to cover her nose, as if repulsed by some stench.
This really hit Tao Yirou's sore spot. She gritted her teeth ferociously, and in a fit of rage, she pointed at Mrs. Fu's nose and cursed, "Who do you think you are? How dare you mock me! Someone, throw her out for me!"
Jiang Miaomiao let out a scornful sound, "We are also guests of the show. Who are you going to throw out?"
"You two are guests?" Tao Yirou narrowed her eyes, "Nonsense! Why haven't I heard that you're on the guest list? Jiang Miaomiao, out of consideration that you were once almost my daughter - in - law, I won't argue with you. As long as you obediently do as I say and help me throw the person next to you out, I can ask Beichen to consider you again."
She spoke with utmost confidence, for she was well aware of how much Jiang Miaomiao liked her son.
??
Jiang Miaomiao made an expression like the subway grandpa.
She suspected that Tao Yirou might have some mental problem.
Was she supposed to curry favor with her instead of pleasing Mrs. Fu, who was like a benefactor?
Seeing that Jiang Miaomiao didn't move, Tao Yirou increased the volume of her voice, "Didn't you hear what I said?"
Jiang Miaomiao shrugged innocently, "Sorry, I can only understand human language for now. I have no obligation to learn animal language."
"Pfft." Mrs. Fu beside her burst out laughing.
Tao Yirou, however, wore a look of confusion on her face, seemingly not understanding the meaning of her words.
At this moment, Jiang Zhi walked over and said with a serious expression, "Sister, you're being too excessive. How can you call Auntie inhuman?"
After Jiang Zhi's reminder, Tao Yirou finally realized what was going on.
This damned bitch actually dared to call her a beast!
"Sister, Auntie is your elder after all. Even if her words made you a bit unhappy, any well - bred girl wouldn't be so straightforward and leave no room for others," Jiang Zhi said again, looking understanding.
"One doesn't become an elder just by reaching a certain age. Some people, when they get old, only become an old wretch."
"You -!"
Tao Yirou was so angry that her whole body was trembling.
She had always been most concerned about her appearance and hated it when others said she was old!
Damn it! This bitch had offended her on both counts.
She flew into a rage and summoned the staff, pointing at the two on the sofa and growling, "Why are these two irrelevant people allowed into the recording site? Is this how your program team neglects its duties? Letting anyone in. Can you guarantee the safety of us guests?"
The staff member was clearly just an ordinary worker and was left dumbfounded by her questions, "Sorry, Mrs. Gu. The guests are all arranged by the program team. I'm just a handyman, and I don't know."
"You don't know this, you don't know that. What's the use of you? Go and get the director for me!"
Seeing this, Jiang Zhi immediately pretended to persuade kindly, "Sister, you'd better take this lady and leave quickly. Otherwise, if they really throw you out later, you'll lose face."
Mrs. Fu was really annoyed by the quarreling of these two.
"Are you perhaps hard - of - hearing? We two are also guests."
Jiang Zhi sized her up and was certain that Mrs. Fu was lying.
She was familiar with the wealthy circles in Jing City, but this lady in front of her, although dressed elegantly, she had never seen before.
The guests of this program were either wealthy ladies or movie queens, and their names were not on the guest list. Jiang Miaomiao insisting on staying here, could it be...
because of Beichen?
She must have known that Beichen would come later and managed to sneak in.
"Zhizhi, don't bother with them. They're just two unrefined creatures. We'll have them thrown out later."
Soon, the director arrived.
As soon as the director entered the door, Tao Yirou shouted angrily, "Director Guo, how did these two irrelevant people sneak into the guest lounge? You should throw them out right now - "
Before Tao Yirou could finish her words, her eyes widened in shock.
She saw Director Guo walk to the side of the sofa and say eagerly, "Mrs. Fu, you've arrived. I was about to go and pick you up myself when you said there was a traffic jam."
Tao Yirou's eyes widened in disbelief.
Why was Director Guo so obsequious to that woman?
Who was Mrs. Fu?
Weren't they two unconnected people who had sneaked in?
Jiang Zhi sensed something was wrong, "Director Guo, who is this lady?"
Director Guo turned around, "Oh, let me introduce you. This is our show's top - notch mysterious guest, Mrs. Fu."
Top - notch guest?
Tao Yirou's knitted brows were so furrowed that they could almost squash a fly.
Why was this woman a top - notch guest?
Then what was she?
Wasn't she, the wife of the chairman of the Gu Group, a distinguished guest?
Jiang Zhi fell into deep thought.
Mrs. Fu?
Judging by Director Guo's servile manner, this Mrs. Fu must have an extremely exalted status.
But there didn't seem to be any wealthy families with the surname Fu in Jing City.
The surname Fu was not common. Could it be -
Haishi!
Was it the Fu family in Haishi?!!
If this lady was really the wife of the Fu family in Haishi, what was her relationship with Jiang Miaomiao?
When did Jiang Miaomiao manage to cozy up to the Fu family?
No!
Impossible!
How could a rustic girl from the countryside like Jiang Miaomiao catch the eye of the Fu family!
Noticing the tense atmosphere among them, the director asked with concern, "Mrs. Fu, is there some misunderstanding between you and Mrs. Gu?"
"No misunderstanding. It's just that Mrs. Gu wants you to throw us out," Mrs. Fu replied.
"This... Mrs. Fu, you're joking. It took me great effort to invite you. I wouldn't throw you out even if I threw anyone else out," the director said.
What did that mean!
Tao Yirou gritted her teeth even harder upon hearing this.
What did this Director Guo mean? That this woman was nobler than her?
Jiang Zhi stepped forward, still wearing that understanding expression, "This is all a misunderstanding. We're all reasonable people. Once it's cleared up, everything will be fine."
Then she walked up to Mrs. Fu and said sincerely, "Mrs. Fu, I'm sorry. I apologize to you on behalf of Mrs. Gu. Mrs. Gu didn't mean it just now. We'll be recording the program together for a while. We'll be seeing a lot of each other."
The implication was obvious. If Mrs. Fu continued to dwell on this matter, she would be seen as not being magnanimous.
Mrs. Fu narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Mrs. Gu has quite a fiery temper. You'd better stew some loofah soup for her to drink later."
Tao Yirou frowned.
What was loofah soup?
She wouldn't drink such a common soup!
Jiang Miaomiao saw this and a mischievous smile flashed across her eyes, "Oh, Mrs. Gu, the room where you had a live - stream just now hasn't been cleaned up yet. I thought since this matter concerns your privacy, it would be better to have someone close to you handle it. Otherwise, if someone accidentally spreads something that could damage your reputation."
Tao Yirou thought this made sense.
She had suddenly had a stomachache just now and couldn't hold it in. There might still be some residue on the stool she sat on. If the cleaner were to handle it, it might spread and damage her reputation.
So, she looked at Jiang Zhi.
