Before Liu Min even entered the main door, she glared at Gao Meng and spoke rudely.
"What's wrong with you? You don't learn anything yourself, and you want to drag our Zheng Ci down with you?"
Facing Liu Min's aggressive approach, Gao Meng was a little stunned. What was going on?
"Auntie, don't rush, what's wrong?"
"What's wrong? How dare you ask? I warn you, stay away from Zheng Ci from now on, don't bother her anymore, just let her live her own life, alright?" Liu Min became more and more agitated as she spoke.
She pointed at Gao Meng, talking incessantly.
"Who do you think you are, with your abilities? What abilities do you have? You killed your father, and now you want to harm our Zheng Ci! How can you be so cruel?"
If it were anyone else in this situation, Gao Meng would have either kicked them out or fought back directly, instead of letting them treat her this way.
But this was Zheng Ci's mother, and she couldn't do that.
Just as Liu Min was spewing venom, Song Qiao, having heard the commotion, came out.
Seeing this woman treating Gao Meng so badly and speaking such harsh words, he couldn't help but want to slap her a couple of times.
Even though it went against his usual principle of not hitting women.
But what she was saying was too infuriating.
However, Gao Meng saw Song Qiao's displeasure and quickly stopped him.
After all, she was Zheng Ci's mother, and if she hit her, she wouldn't be able to be friends with Zheng Ci anymore.
Besides, her cousin had indeed been implicated because of her.
Hearing Liu Min keep talking about Zheng Ci, she worried something had happened to her, so she patiently listened and kept asking questions.
Finally, she pieced together the whole story.
It turned out to be the aftermath of the events yesterday when she and her cousin went to see Young Master Xiao.
The matter had blown up, causing a stir throughout the city.
Her cousin had not told her that the company she worked for was Huajiang Group.
Now, she had been suspended by the company's high-level management due to last night's events.
The higher-ups had even threatened to hold her responsible, saying that the company could no longer cooperate with the South Korean chaebol because of her, and therefore, they would seek compensation from her.
Gao Meng advised her aunt, "I will find a way to resolve matters concerning my cousin. You don't have to worry."
Liu Min, however, showed no signs of happiness. Instead, she berated Gao Meng, even with sarcasm, "You'll resolve it? What abilities do you have to resolve it? You're covered in your own shit! If you can't even handle your own affairs, how can you manage others? I just beg you not to ruin our family anymore, and not to harm Zheng Ci, okay?"
Seeing this woman still causing trouble, Song Qiao was losing his patience.
He spoke leisurely, "Since you think Gao Meng can't solve it, why are you making a scene here? Are you out of your mind? Besides, who Zheng Ci wants to see and what she wants to do is her business. You should manage her, not come here to cause trouble."
Liu Min was immediately furious upon hearing this.
She, a young man, was lecturing her and even insulting her.
But as soon as she saw Song Qiao's eyes, she dared not move.
From Song Qiao's eyes, she sensed a hint of danger.
In fact, Song Qiao had only released a tiny bit of killing intent.
But even this small amount of killing intent was enough to scare her face pale.
Thump thump thump!
She retreated several steps. If she hadn't grabbed the door frame, she would have fallen to the ground.
Even so, she was still full of terror, as if she had seen a ghost.
Her lips trembled, "You, what do you want to do? Don't, don't come any closer!"
Just then, Zheng Ci came in from outside.
She had learned of her mother's movements and had chased her from home to this place.
She supported Liu Min and kept advising, "Mom, let's go. Don't make a scene here. This has nothing to do with Xiao Meng, it's not her fault! Let's go, come home with me..."
As she spoke, she pulled Liu Min outwards.
At the same time, she winked at Gao Meng, telling her to go back quickly and not stay here.
She felt very sorry for Gao Meng.
Although she was also very angry about the company's decision, she knew that Gao Meng was not to blame. The blame lay with the idiotic leaders of the company.
Moreover, she already knew that Young Master Xiao had made a decision and would find a way, but these company leaders were acting recklessly. She even felt they were just using the situation as an excuse to achieve their own goals.
Liu Min was pulled away by Zheng Ci and taken outside. Perhaps feeling a sense of security now that she was farther away, or perhaps angered by her previous behavior, she suddenly turned her anger on Song Qiao.
"What are you doing there, trying to scare me, huh? Let me tell you, this is our family business. Who do you think you are? Get lost..."
Liu Min's bizarre behavior terrified Zheng Ci.
She had witnessed Song Qiao's combat prowess yesterday and how he had resolved the Xiao family's issues. Although she didn't fully understand the intricate details, she knew one thing: Song Qiao was not as ordinary as he appeared.
Song Qiao was very dangerous!
Therefore, Zheng Ci tried her best to pull her mother away and urged her to stop talking, lest Song Qiao become angry, which would be very frightening.
Meanwhile, Gao Meng held Song Qiao back tightly, not wanting him to go out.
What she feared most was that he would resort to violence.
At the same time, she kept saying to Song Qiao, "Master, please don't be angry. Don't take it personally with my aunt. She's just too worried about my cousin. A mother's love for her daughter..."
"Hmph, she loves her daughter dearly, so she can talk nonsense like that? Then I'll teach her a good lesson on how to love!"
Gao Meng was helpless. Her aunt was notoriously unreasonable, and sometimes it was truly exasperating.
However, if one were to say she had any ill intentions towards her, there really weren't any.
So, she just had a headache, but it wasn't enough to do anything to her.
However, Liu Min was still shouting outside, "Gao Meng, you must give me an explanation, or I'll come to your house every day!"
"Mom, please don't be like this. If you continue to act out, I won't speak to you anymore. I'll move out and live on my own..."
Perhaps Zheng Ci's words had an effect, as Liu Min's shouting soon ceased.
Then, Zheng Ci's voice was heard again, this time louder, as she bid farewell to Gao Meng: "Xiao Meng, I'm sorry to have disturbed you so early in the morning... We're leaving."
She seemed to have indeed managed to persuade her mother.
When Gao Meng thought about her cousin losing her job, she felt a pang of sadness. Her cousin had suffered this undeserved disaster because of her.
So, Gao Meng ran out, chasing after her cousin not too far away, and said to Zheng Ci, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault!"
Zheng Ci smiled gently, appearing nonchalant, but her indignation and disappointment were undeniable. "How can I blame you? It's all that Li Junhao..."
At this point, her face flushed and her heart pounded, and she couldn't continue.
Such embarrassing matters, just hearing about them made one blush and their heart race, let alone having to say them out loud as a young girl.
That South Korean fellow was truly despicable!
Although Gao Meng had been changed considerably by Song Qiao, the thought of those embarrassing matters still made it difficult for her to speak, and she was filled with indignation.
Song Qiao thought for a moment, "Let's go, we'll go to Huajiang Company together. I'll handle this matter!"
His words drew strange glances from everyone present.
