C1857 I'm too Ashamed to Show My Face
What Du Ruoqing said was arrogant, and the contempt in her eyes was unconcealed. The corner of her mouth curled up, like a high and mighty noble looking down on the beggars below the castle.1
She knew from Song Xin Yao that Huo Niannian was coming to find her aunt, so she immediately decided to let Huo Niannian's wish go empty.
Fortunately, her aunt had a good relationship with her, and she had been taking good care of her all these years.
Hence, Du Ruoqing firmly believed that as long as she did not want Huo Niannian to participate in the exhibition, her aunt would definitely agree to it!
Even if Huo Niannian exhausted all of her abilities, she wouldn't be able to take a step into the exhibition.
Du Ruoqing raised her brows, and the smile on her face couldn't stop at all.
She looked at Huo Niannian's face and felt a rare joy in her heart.
These few days, she had been bullied by Gu Zifan. She still had to endure and play with him. What was even more infuriating was that she still had to watch Huo Niannian display affection in front of her!
Du Ruoqing sneered. Wind and water take turns. Now it was Huo Niannian's turn to be unlucky.
"If I remember correctly, that workshop of yours doesn't sell many sets of jewelry all year round. With such a standard, you still want to come to my aunt's exhibition. Who gave you the confidence?"
From the beginning to the end, Huo Niannian had a faint smile on her face. She didn't blush because of Du Ruoqing's interruption, nor did she get angry because of Du Ruoqing's ridicule. She only had a calm expression and gaze, waiting for Du Ruoqing to finish speaking.
Du Ruoqing's words did not hurt or itch to her. At most, it was a stone thrown into the sea, causing ripples on the surface of the sea.
If Zhou Madam was not present, she might not have been able to retort Du Ruoqing with a single word.
But now that she had a request from Zhou Madam, she was still unclear of Zhou Madam's attitude. With the principle of one less thing to do, she could only tolerate it.
"Why aren't you saying anything? Do you feel ashamed after being torn apart by me?" Du Ruoqing's voice was sharp, like the most annoying female companion in a television series, making one's teeth itch with hate.
"I know why you came to find your aunt today, but I just feel that her exhibition is an opportunity. You want to take this opportunity to let your studio climb to a higher level and get in touch with more people.
But Huo Niannian, you can't be too selfish. You only care about your own interests. Why do you think that if your aunt agrees to it, then the exhibition will become a joke because of your things. How should you let your aunt do what she wants? "
Du Ruoqing's words were both belittling Huo Niannian and criticizing her for disregarding Zhou Madam's interests for her own selfish desires.
Huo Niannian sneered in her heart. She said it so righteously and righteously. How could a figure like Zhou Madam not know that Du Ruoqing had ulterior motives?
Huo Niannian looked at Du Ruoqing sympathetically. She really did not know what she was thinking. Clearly, Zhou Madam had not said anything yet and she had already started to say so much. It was annoying.
On the opposite side, Zhou Madam's expression was still gentle and there were no signs of anger.
When she heard Du Ruoqing's words, she only lightly smiled and did not say anything, nor did she ask Huo Niannian a question.
This made Du Ruoqing unhappy. She bit her lips. The reason why she said so much just now was not to see that her aunt did not have any reaction.
Her heart was stifled and she could not resist glaring at Huo Niannian, wanting to give her a show of strength and make her back off.
Huo Niannian raised her eyebrows and looked at her with interest. Her eyes seemed to be saying, "Accept to the end."
Huo Niannian actually dared to provoke her?!
Du Ruoqing subconsciously clenched her fists. Huo Niannian did not want to participate in the exhibition, right? She actually dared to use this kind of gaze to look at her?
She originally thought that if Huo Niannian took the initiative to lower her head to admit her mistake, she might be able to let her aunt give her a chance. She did not expect that she actually did not know what was good for her. Then don't blame her for not showing any mercy.
