Xia Yangyang slightly frowned. Xue Shaotang suddenly spoke up, "Second sister-in-law, you seem a bit unhappy today." Xia Yangyang’s heart skipped a beat. Was she really that obvious? In fact, Xia Yangyang didn’t want to show her feelings at all, especially in front of Gu Qichen’s friends. Xia Yangyang denied it, saying, "I’m not unhappy." But Xue Shaotang just smiled, looking very much the playboy, "Is it because of the second miss of the Xi Family? I heard she lost her sight due to an injury before and is now living with you. But I really don’t get it; how can you allow such a formidable rival in love to live in your own house." Xia Yangyang hadn’t expected this "stranger" to know so much about them. But then again, he probably learned it from all those tabloid headlines. For a moment, Xia Yangyang didn’t know how to respond. The man continued, "Second brother is really something, maintaining order at home while having affairs outside. Even someone as proud as Xi Zijun willingly became his mistress, and you, such a virtuous young lady, are so magnanimous. It’s truly enviable." Xia Yangyang caught the sarcasm and the intent to sow discord in his words. She felt extremely uncomfortable. But Xia Yangyang was unsure about the relationship between Xue Shaotang and Gu Qichen. She didn’t want to explain anything to outsiders. Xia Yangyang just coldly said, "We don’t need your concern, Xue Shao." Xue Shaotang sighed and said, "Sister-in-law, your way doesn’t work. I provoked you so much, and all you gave me was a lukewarm line. I thought you’d give me a slap." Xia Yangyang looked up at that playful face and radiant smile. To be honest, even though what he said was loathsome, It’s hard to hate someone with such a face. Or rather, there was surprisingly straightforward honesty in his eyes. His recent words clearly sounded like a joke. Xia Yangyang asked, "What are you really trying to say?" Xue Shaotang sighed, "Sister-in-law, I just can’t stand seeing you bullied. I absolutely detest Xi Zijun. Among the socialites in Beijing, her reputation is terrible. Do you know what people call her in private? She has a nickname—The Ruthless Nun." Although Xia Yangyang didn’t have much fondness for Xi Zijun either, hearing it from Xue Shaotang’s mouth still made her frown slightly. "Speaking ill behind someone’s back, Xue Shao, isn’t exactly gentlemanly." Xue Shaotang laughed heartily, "Who doesn’t know I’m a playboy? Don’t link me to any gentlemanly behavior. When I dislike someone, it’s not just about badmouthing them behind their back. If I can stab them three times in the dark, I won’t just stab them twice." Xia Yangyang was speechless, having no idea what to talk about with this person. Xue Shaotang was very noisy. Xia Yangyang just felt that he seemed truly bored and came to gossip. This content belongs to NoveI[F]ire.net Xue Shaotang spoke a lot of bad things about Xi Zijun. Finally, he told Xia Yangyang, "Sister-in-law, don’t blame me for not warning you. The second miss of the Xi Family is famous for her deep schemes. She silently swallowed half my uncle’s company back in the day. Her underhanded tactics are unimaginable for a woman. Several of us know privately that she’s not someone who easily gives up. This woman is best at casting a long line to catch a big fish. You better keep a close eye on Ah Chen."
