He Jihong took a few deep breaths, forcing out a faint smile. 

Gu Ye, that spineless coward, was practically cheated by her, yet he still defended that little wretch so fiercely. For now, she couldn’t afford to openly clash with her.  

She had to endure it!  

“I have only Qiao Qiao’s best interests in mind. After all, dancing halls are not seen as respectable locations by society. If word spreads, the Gu and He families’ reputations may suffer. Do you agree, Qiao Qiao?”

He Jihong turned to Chu Qiao. 

That little wretch hadn’t said a word from start to finish, her skill at playing dumb was truly impressive. 

Chu Qiao smiled faintly, her expression calm and composed, without a trace of panic. 

She spoke unhurriedly, “A clear conscience fears no accusation. My father-in-law is a man of integrity, respected by all, this won’t affect him. As for the He family, Sister Bilian’s affair with Gu Jianshe caused quite a stir, even resulting in a child, yet the He family wasn’t significantly impacted. Such a minor matter on my part surely won’t be enough to undermine the He family’s standing.”

“What do you mean by that? Chu Qiao, how dare you!” 

Xu Bilian shot to her feet in fury. 

It was because of her involvement with Gu Jianshe that she had fallen to her current state, jobless, childless, and neither fully human nor ghost. How dare this wretched woman bring it up?

Gu Ye couldn’t stand seeing this woman bully his wife and was about to retort when Chu Qiao gently patted his hand, signaling him to stay quiet. 

Matters between women were best left to women to resolve. Besides, she wasn’t afraid of Xu Bilian anymore.

“Sister Bilian, I’m only speaking the truth. There are so many photos, proofs are clear as day. Whether you like it or not, it doesn’t change the fact that you and Gu Jianshe had an affair while you were married. I’ve also been considerate of the He family’s reputation. Otherwise, your scandal would have spread like wildfire by now. The gossip alone would drown you, leaving you too ashamed to even step outside, let alone enjoy yourself at the dance hall!”

Chu Qiao’s voice was sweet and gentle, her smile even sweeter, but her eyes were icy cold, sending a chill down Xu Bilian’s spine. She shuddered involuntarily. 

It was only now that she realized Chu Qiao was no longer the powerless stepdaughter she could bully at will.

“Mom, did you hear what she said?”

Too intimidated to confront Chu Qiao directly, Xu Bilian turned to He Jihong to complain.

He Jihong was seething with anger. 

She understood Chu Qiao’s threat all too well, if Xu Bilian leaked anything about the dance hall, this little wretch would expose Xu Bilian’s affair with Gu Jianshe, leading to mutual destruction. 

That was not the outcome she wanted.

Damn that little wretch! She had put on such a convincing act for five years, deceiving her all along. 

Now, with Gu Ye backing her, she was finally showing her true colors.

“Qiao Qiao, your sister Bilian only has your best interests at heart. Though you’re not biological sisters, you grew up together and are as close as real sisters. I’ve always loved you like my own daughter, hoping both you and Bilian would live happy lives. Since you enjoy working at the dance hall, then you can continue to do it. Don’t overthink it, alright?”

He Jihong looked at Chu Qiao with a kindly expression, her tone gentle, though she was swallowing down her rage. 

Those photos of Xu Bilian were still in Gu Ye’s hands, she couldn’t afford to openly confront this little wretch.

Chu Qiao inwardly sneered, though she couldn’t help but feel a grudging admiration for He Jihong. 

Despite undoubtedly wishing her dead inside, He Jihong could still put on the act of a loving mother. 

If Xu Bilian had even half her mother’s cunning and tactics, she wouldn’t have been so easily fooled by Gu Jianshe.

“Whether I work at the dance hall or not doesn’t really matter to me, I just do it for fun. The pay isn’t bad either, fifty yuan a night for just playing a few songs. Besides, Boss Tang is good friends with Gu Ye and looks out for me.”
