Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Xiao Qi really wanted to punch this guy who was taking pleasure in his misfortune, talking as if he had no troubles himself.

“You’re feeling smug?” Xiao Qi coldly asked Li Zhao.

“Hehe, what about me seems smug to you?” Li Zhao said, but in his heart, he was thinking that even if he were smug, he couldn’t admit it.

“You better not be, or else I’ll take An’an back home with me to see her grandparents. They really miss An’an, and as a filial grandchild, she should stay home a bit longer to spend time with them. An’an, don’t you agree?” Xiao Qi said gently, looking at An Hao.

“Yes, I do,” An Hao decided to stand with her brother.

She knew her cousin well; he must have someone on his mind, or else he wouldn’t be reacting this strongly. An Hao became curious about what kind of woman could make her outstanding cousin so lovesick. She really wanted to see what was so special about the woman her cousin had set his sights on.

“An’an,” Li Zhao looked at his wife with a hint of sorrow.

“Hehe, my sister is the best,” Xiao Qi said smugly, looking at Li Zhao.

The three of them bickered and chatted in the living room, while outside, things were getting chaotic.

“What’s the matter with you? Are you blind?” Gu Beilin yelled, pointing at the woman she had bumped into.

The woman being pointed at was none other than Chu Beiying.

Chu Beiying looked at Gu Beilin coldly. She was the victim here, just having entered when someone bumped into her. Instead of apologizing, the perpetrator was now making herself out to be the victim.

“What are you staring at? How dare you look at me like that after bumping into me!” Gu Beilin stepped forward, raising her hand to slap Chu Beiying’s face.

Chu Beiying stood still, not even attempting to dodge. It wasn’t until the slap was just a few centimeters from her face that she raised her hand.

“Ah, it hurts so much! Let go of me!” Gu Beilin’s face went pale from the pain.

Chu Beiying coldly watched the once-arrogant Gu Beilin, who now looked like a ridiculous clown.

“Didn’t you hear me telling you to let go?” Gu Beilin glared at Chu Beiying, feeling as if her hand was about to break.

“I heard you, but why should I listen to you?” Chu Beiying’s words nearly made Gu Beilin choke in anger, while others around them burst into laughter.

“You…” Gu Beilin was too angry to speak.

“What about me?” Chu Beiying asked coldly, looking at Gu Beilin.

“Just let go, or else my Gu family won’t let you go!” Gu Beilin angrily blurted out, forgetting that all the guests at the Li residence were important figures. Her Gu family was nothing in comparison.

“The Gu family? Which Gu family?” Chu Beiying asked in confusion. It wasn’t her fault; she had just returned to the Imperial Capital from abroad and was unfamiliar with the place and its people. If her father hadn’t forced her to come, she wouldn’t have bothered.

“You actually don’t know the Gu family? Are you even from the Imperial Capital?” Gu Beilin looked incredulously at Chu Beiying.

“Does it matter?” Chu Beiying asked in confusion.

“Of course it matters! Everyone in the Imperial Capital knows about the Gu family. How can you not know which Gu family I’m talking about?” Gu Beilin had never been wronged like this before. Last time, she’d been snubbed by a woman in a clothing store; this time, she was being humiliated by Chu Beiying, and she could do nothing about it.

“I don’t know,” Chu Beiying replied slowly.

“Ah, I’ll kill you!” Gu Beilin shouted in anger.

“You want to kill me? Are you sure?” Chu Beiying wasn’t underestimating Gu Beilin, but this arrogant woman seemed all bark and no bite, outwardly impressive but ultimately useless.

“It’s true that the Gu family isn’t the most powerful in the Imperial Capital, but they’re still quite prominent. How can this young lady say she doesn’t know them? I’ve never seen her before; who is she, anyway?”

“Yeah, she’s really unfamiliar. Who exactly is she?” The surrounding whispers reached Chu Beiying’s ears.
