"Young Madam. What do you mean by that?" As an outsider, Millie'er could not help but ask sharply. "Yanwei relies on her own abilities to earn a living, unlike some women who rely on men to survive."
The last part of her comment was subtly directed at Gu Ruochu.
"Millie'er, what are you talking about!" Gu Yanwei pretended to scold her. Millie'er shut her mouth, but the disdain in her eyes was very obvious.
Alas! Gu Yanwei's minions were powerful. They even dared to criticize her in front of the Huo family. They must have derived their power from the fact that the Huo family did not like Gu Ruochu.
"Relies on her abilities to earn a living? Are you saying that my sister has not eaten or drank for half a year and then relied on her own abilities to buy such a famous handbag?" Gu Ruochu did not hide her mockery. "We all need to learn this ability! She is in possession of a divine skill!"
Millie'er was rendered speechless by the honesty of Gu Ruochu's words. She was in disbelief. Hadn't this woman always been timid and never argued with others?
Mrs. Huo was displeased. "Enough. What's there to argue about?"
Gu Yanwei knew that Mrs. Huo had always liked her. Of course, she would support her. As for her little sister, she was only being a clown.
"Mother, I'm not arguing. I'm concerned about my sister." Gu Ruochu smiled almost perfectly. "A month's salary is thirty thousand. If you fast for half a year, you could save a hundred and eighty thousand. That's enough to buy the bag in my sister's hand. I wonder where my sister gets so much money to buy a pretentious bag. I'm really worried."
Gu Yanwei sighed softly. "Ruochu, isn't it just a bag? Why don't I just give it to you? This shouldn't hurt the friendship between sisters. Don't you agree?"
Anyway, it was Gu Ruochu's money, so she did not feel sorry for her.
Glaring at Gu Ruochu's arrogant look, Millie'er could not control herself. She shouted loudly, "Ruochu, you will not bully your own sister just because you're Mrs. Huo's daughter-in-law? Will you? Mrs. Huo, look at her ghastly appearance. She's like a mad dog about to bite. Some people really look innocent and pure on the surface, but in reality, they are very scheming."
Millie'er knew that the Huo family did not like Gu Ruochu. She wanted to use this opportunity to curry favor with Gu Yanwei. At this moment, she was not afraid of Gu Ruochu and her attitude was very firm.
Gu Ruochu's expression changed when she saw how brainless Millie'er was.
Mrs. Huo saw that Gu Ruochu's expression had turned even uglier, and it filled her heart with even more displeasure.
"What do you mean by that? My sister hasn't even spoken yet and you're already so impatient to jump out and cause a ruckus with me? I'd like to ask if it's you who thinks of me this way or someone else who thinks of me this way." Gu Ruochu was still smiling. However, the warmth in her eyes was slowly fading, and her sharp gaze was staring straight into Millie'er's eyes.
The aura emanating from Gu Ruochu shook Millie'er. Stubbornly, she said, "Young Madam, that's not what I meant. Yanwei has said nothing, so don't accuse her. She's a good person. I'm only defending her."
'I must seek justice for Yanwei.' Millie'er thought to herself.
Apparently, Gu Yanwei was the good sister while Gu Ruochu was the evil one.
"Sister. Is this your friend?" Gu Ruochu turned to Gu Yanwei.
Gu Yanwei looked was in a difficult position. "Ruochu, don't argue with her. She's just straightforward."
"What a straightforward person. She's openly mocking me as a villain."
