297: Miss Yao, Can't You Understand Human Language?

Miss Yao, Can't You Understand Human Language?

Yao Mengqing's expression changed. "Ah Zheng, I…"2

"I told you that only people I'm close with can call me 'Ah Zheng'. You're not worthy!" Gu Zheng showed no mercy.

Yao Mengqing's face was ghastly pale as she looked at Qiao Xi with grievances.

"I'm your friend, Ah Zheng.

"Does Xi Xi not like me calling you that? But all these years, I…" Yao Mengqing choked and said, "Ah Zheng…"

Gu Zheng narrowed his eyes.

Qiao Xi's face was filled with ridicule. "Miss Yao, Gu Zheng has already stopped you from calling him that. Do you not understand human language?"

Gu Zheng did not let her call him 'Ah Zheng' but she kept doing it. Yao Mengqing was still acting pitiful. She was so annoying!

Qiao Xi sneered. "Only his grandma and I can call him that. Do you think you're qualified?"

There was silence. Yao Mengqing bit her lip.

She lowered her head and was about to cry. Her voice was trembling. "Xi Xi, I… I really didn't do it on purpose. I've always called him that in the past, so I'm just used to it."

"Qiao Xi! Aren't you going too far? It's just a greeting. Meng Qing has called him that for many years. Do you have to be so unforgiving?"

Not far away, Lin Jie saw that Yao Mengqing was aggrieved. He took a big stride forward and shouted at Qiao Xi.

He snorted. "Ah Zheng, you and Mengqing are childhood sweethearts. Why can't you be a little kinder? Besides…"

"I've already warned Miss Yao a long time ago and she has agreed not to call me that again. Furthermore, we're not close, so calling me that so affectionately will cause misunderstandings."

Gu Zheng waved his hand and gestured to Song Shiyu. "If she still can't remember, you have to remind her."

"Yes!" Song Shiyu replied without hesitation.

The corners of Yao Mengqing's lips twitched as she forced out a smile.

"Mengqing, let's go! Why should we be angry with them?"

Lin Jie pulled Yao Mengqing and was about to leave. "Qiao Xi! Just you wait. It's such an important occasion today, so I won't bicker with you!"

Yao Mengqing said humbly, "Xi Xi, we're leaving. If you like something, you can tell me. I'll get it and give it to you as an apology."

After saying that, Lin Jie pulled Yao Mengqing and left angrily.

Qiao Xi rolled her eyes. What an adulterous pair!

Yao Mengqing was not that kind-hearted. Although she was just saying it, she took it seriously. It just so happened that those few sets of jewelry were decent.

Since Yao Mengqing said so, Qiao Xi would reluctantly accept her offer, then!

…

Yao Mengqing and Lin Jie had just sat down. Lin Jie was filled with righteous indignation. "Mengqing, you shouldn't have been so gentle with her. Otherwise, she'll always bully you! What right does she have to participate in the auction? Does she have money?"

Everyone looked over. Although the Yao family had offended Xue Liang, the Yao family was still part of the high society. Who were they mocking?

Who dared to bully Miss Yao? Had they gone mad?!

Yao Mengqing said helplessly, "Ah Jie, it's better to avoid trouble."

"Isn't this a charity auction? Why is she here if she doesn't have money? She's merely occupying a position that doesn't belong to her! Why isn't she getting lost?!"

Yao Mengqing looked at the gazes of the people around her and pretended to stop him. "How could Xi Xi be poor? The jewelry on her is expensive. She definitely doesn't lack money…"

"She bought luxury goods with that bit of money she had, but she doesn't have the money to donate! Meng Qing, don't speak up for her!"

Lin Jie said boldly, "She doesn't even donate her money! She's just a greedy, selfish b*tch!"

These words had completely ruined Qiao Xi's image.

Everyone looked at her with disdain. Since they were already at the charity auction, they had to donate a little even if they had to pretend. Being able to donate to the children who were fighting against illnesses was also a good thing to do.

Since she was unwilling to donate anything, why did she come to the charity auction?

Yao Mengqing heard the discussions around her and secretly revealed a proud smile. "Ah Jie, Xi Xi isn't someone like that. She must be facing some trouble.

"She has her own difficulties. Maybe it's just that she doesn't want to talk about it. Xi Xi grew up in the countryside when she was young. It's reasonable for her to be reluctant to donate."
