Mrs. Zhao's gaze fell upon Yan Xi, scanning her from head to toe with a clear distaste in her eyes.
"Years have passed, and Miss Yan has grown rather capable."
Her tone was full of mockery.
Both Mrs. Gu and Old Master Gu had embarrassed expressions on their faces.
Old Master Gu quickly patted the back of Mrs. Zhao's hand, "Mother, didn't you just promise me?"
Mrs. Zhao huffed coldly, saying, "I haven't forgotten."
"I sure wouldn't dare to trouble Miss Yan, such a capable person."
Yan Xi gently pursed her red lips, her expression unchanged as she stood aside.
She had been prepared for this, so Mrs. Zhao's obvious dislike for her did not cause her any sadness.
Mrs. Gu took a deep breath; Mrs. Zhao was still unaware of Gu Wenchen's situation.
Gu Wenchen was unwilling to involve himself with other women, and if they couldn't retain Yan Xi, once everything came to light, both Gu Wenchen and the entire Gu Family would become the laughingstock of Yun City.
