Chu Yuanzhi’s eyes widened in disbelief. He stared at his daughter, stammering, “Qiao… Qiao Qiao, you… you went to work at the dance hall?”

He Jihong’s mood instantly brightened. 

She had always known this little wretch wasn’t the dutiful type, just like her mother, who ran off with another man. 

Neither of them were any good. 

The Gu family would never tolerate a daughter-in-law who worked at the dance hall. 

From now on, she wouldn’t have to put up with this little wretch anymore.

“Qiao Qiao, how could you be so foolish? A place like a dance hall is no place for you to go.” 

He Jihong chided her, then turned to Gu Ye and said, “Xiao Gu, don’t be too angry. There might be some misunderstanding here. Let’s hear Qiao Qiao’s explanation first.”

But inwardly, she was laughing. 

What explanation? She’d already admitted it herself, it was a done deal. Gu Ye must be furious. He’d probably been cheated for who knows how long. Another divorce was surely on the way.

Gu Ye responded impatiently, “Who said I’m angry? So what if she works at the dance hall? Why make such a big deal out of it?”

He Jihong was stunned, wondering if she’d misheard. 

His wife was working as a hostess, and Gu Ye didn’t mind?

Gu Ye continued, “I accompany Qiao Qiao to work every day. She plays the piano at Tang Weiguo’s father’s dance hall, it’s a proper, legal job. Xu Bilian, are you jealous? All you ever do is bully Qiao Qiao!”

Xu Bilian’s face instantly darkened, and she shrieked, “How can anyone who goes to the dance hall be proper? Gu Ye, you’re the one who’s out of your mind! Chu Qiao is making a fool of you, you idiot!”

“Weren’t you at the dance hall too? Chu Qiao is far more proper than you!” 

Gu Ye retorted without mercy.

Xu Bilian was nearly mad with jealousy. 

Even though Chu Qiao was working as a hostess at the dance hall, Gu Ye was still willing to tolerate it and even defended her. 

Yet, when it came to her and Gu Jianshe, Gu Ye had been utterly ruthless. Why did Chu Qiao deserve such treatment?

He Jihong shot her daughter a warning glance, forced a smile, and asked, “Xiao Gu, does your father know about this?”

He must not know. Old Mr. Gu valued reputation above all else. 

If he knew Chu Qiao was working at the dance hall, he would never praise her in public.

Gu Ye let out a cold laugh and said mockingly, “My father knows, of course. It’s just a job. The government approved Old Tang’s dance hall, which means it’s a legitimate business. Qiao Qiao works at a legal establishment, is there a problem with that?”

He Jihong’s smile froze for a moment. 

She silently cursed Gu Ye for being spineless, he must be incompetent himself, which was why he lacked the authority to control Chu Qiao. 

But why had he been so ruthless to her daughter back then?

“That’s not what I meant. It’s just that when people hear about a place like a dance hall, they can’t help but have certain opinions.”

“That’s because your own minds are dirty. Flies see nothing but filth, while bodhisattvas see nothing but Buddha.” 

Gu Ye retorted coldly, not sparing He Jihong any face.

Chu Qiao didn’t say a word. She didn’t need to, as Gu Ye had spoken for her. She felt warm. 

Finally, someone was standing up for her. She no longer had to swallow her anger in silence.

Having someone to rely on felt truly wonderful, so warm and reassuring.  

He Jihong’s face flushed with alternating shades of red and pale anger, but she didn’t dare offend Gu Ye. 

Swallowing her pride, she tried to smooth things over: “I was just concerned about Qiao Qiao. We family members know it’s fine, but outsiders might not see it that way.”  

“As long as no one deliberately spreads rumors outside, there won’t be any issues.” 

Gu Ye said, while shooting a warning glance at Xu Bilian.  

He Jihong quickly added, “It’s fine to discuss it among ourselves, we certainly won’t say anything outside. But it might be best if Qiao Qiao doesn’t work there anymore. It doesn’t look good.”  

“That’s Qiao Qiao’s decision. She can work if she wants to, and stop if she doesn’t. It’s entirely up to her.” 

Gu Ye replied coldly.  

After hitting several walls, He Jihong could no longer maintain her smile. 

She glanced at Chu Qiao, who seemed completely unaffected, more beautiful than ever, with skin as fair and tender as an egg, clearly living a life of contentment. 

Then she looked at her own daughter, sallow and thin, appearing years older than Chu Qiao. 

Her expression darkened further, her heart felt heavy with frustration.
