Bai Chi was taken aback. He had not expected Gu Qingyao to be so arrogant.historical

Although an ugly woman’s arrogance was annoying, beautiful women had special privileges.

A playboy like Bai Chi usually saw women as playthings. He had toyed with plenty of obedient and submissive women, so he was intrigued to suddenly meet one like Gu Qingyao, who was so pretty but arrogant!

“Little girl, you’re quite arrogant!”

Gu Qingyao ignored him and tugged at Ji Mingyue’s hand. “Let’s go!”

Bai Chi raised his brows and continued to block their way. “Don’t go.. Ow..”

Gu Qingyao did not say anything else, she simply stomped on his toes, causing him to double over in pain. Then in a single move, she raised her foot and viciously kicked his stomach. Bai Chi blanched as he clutched his stomach, unable to straighten up!

“You.. You..”

Gu Qingyao hissed at him coldly, then pulled Ji Mingyue along and left.

Ji Mingyue was terrified but remembered how good Gu Qingyao’s moves were on the occasion of their first meeting. So she sighed with relief and hurriedly followed Gu Qingyao away.

After some distance, Gu Qingyao stopped to ask Ji Mingyue how she was. Ji Mingyue immediately looked bitter. “Yao Yao, I’m not afraid you’ll laugh at me, so I’ll tell you. I was of age to make a match and even get married. After you left, other people recommended some boys to me, but nothing came of it.

“Then somehow, Bai Chi’s mother found out that I was looking for a match, and she approached us. My family didn’t really want to be involved with the Bai family, but the Bai family insisted on marrying me. Bai Chi said he had taken a fancy to me, and that got me into trouble.

“My family and I did not want the match, but the Bai family was too aggressive. My family didn’t dare to reject them outright for fear of offending them. They kept trying to find a way to communicate with the Bai family. But the news spread and the Bai family did not deny it either, so everyone thought I was going to marry Bai Chi.”

At this point, Ji Mingyue looked very pitiful. “I refused to agree and kept putting it off. After a year or so, the Bai family grew impatient. They were so aggressive that no one else dared to propose a match with me. At this time, Bai Chi took a fancy to someone else and insisted on marrying her. The woman was also pregnant.

“At that time, one’s morals were considered very important. It’s all right for Bai Chi to have fun, but the child provided leverage for the woman’s family, which was also fairly well-off. So Bai Chi got married. Then I was really in trouble because they had ruined my reputation!”

Gu Qingyao was shocked!

This meant that in this life, Ji Mingyue had not escaped her previous life’s fate. The circumstances were almost the same, just that it was now Bai Chi.

“What about now? I thought I heard him say that he wanted to marry you? I thought he didn’t like you anymore? And.. what about his wife?”

Ji Mingyue lowered her head looking angry and aggrieved. “He’s divorced. He has a son who is quite big. That child is the oldest of the Bai family’s great-grandchildren and is utterly spoilt. Even at a young age, he behaves like a tyrant.

“The Bai family is proud. Even if Bai Chi has a son, is divorced, and is already thirty years old, they won’t settle for an ordinary girl. But which girl from a good family would marry him? Especially since his son is the oldest great-grandson and is very important in the family. If the next wife has other sons, they won’t be able to surpass him. Bai Chi’s mother guards this grandson like a jewel.

“Since I’m still unmarried and left on the shelf, they came looking for me!”
