Qiaoqiao

Rumor had it that Qiao Xi had a weak constitution—a sickly beauty. Rumor had it that she spent a fortune every day on medications—eating them like candy. Rumor had it that ten servants waited on her by her bed every day—a burden to everyone. They were all waiting for the Qiao family to toss Qiao Xi back to the countryside and leave her to fend for herself. 
Qiao Xi: "They're all saying that I'm weak and can't take care of myself. Apparently, I spend money recklessly as well.” 
She looked down at her tattered shirt and was exasperated. 
Qiao Xi: “Are you saying that this wealthy family lets their daughter wear tattered clothes every day?” 
The Qiao family's rich daughter? She had enough! She would not be it anymore! Therefore… 
Scumbag guy: "Without the Qiao family, you're nothing." 
Qiao Xi: "If I'm kicked out of the Qiao family, I'll be done for." 
Scumbag girl: "Sis, don't be too disappointed. As long as you work hard, you'll be praised one day.”
Qiao Xi: "Shut up, I don't know a traitor like you." 
The scumbag guy and girl: "???" 
Rumor had it that the Gu family's youngest son, Gu Zheng, rashly married a woman who had nothing but looks. 
Qiao Xi: "Is someone looking down on me?" 
One day, Qiao Xi saw one of Gu Zheng's employees racking his brains over a series of numbers on the computer screen. Since she was free, she lent a hand. 
Did she just crack the firewall created by the joint efforts of top elite hackers?! 
Gu Zheng inched closer with every step. "Qiao Xi, what else are you hiding from me? Hmm?" 
Qiao Xi: "Oh, no! I feel dizzy again! I'm so weak. This body of mine is just too weak!"

Fortunately, Madam Meng reacted quickly and explained with a smile, "No, I just happened to remember you and Meng Wan when you were both younger. I must be getting muddled that I actually said such things in front of Miss Qiao. Miss Qiao, you won't mind, right?"

Qiao Xi said, "What if I say I mind? Can you take those words back?"

Gu Zheng: "…" This woman would never allow herself to suffer.

Madam Meng's expression froze for a moment. Perhaps she did not expect Qiao Xi to not take her dignity into consideration at all. Even so, she quickly reacted. "Right, right, right. It's normal that you would mind this. As your elder, I was insensible. How could I bring up matters of the past to upset you? Let me apologize to you, alright?"

She was lowering her status and mentioning her identity as an elder. If Qiao Xi continued to pester her, then it would seem that she was too unreasonable and unforgiving.
