Chapter 264 Ring
The next morning, Qiao Ruoxing got up early.
She dressed herself up carefully. Even if she divorced Gu Jingyan, she couldn't lose in terms of momentum.
Especially when she saw Zhong Meilan.
She rushed to Xingning Road at 9:40 and waited in the car across the road.
At 10 o'clock, a white BMW stopped in front of the coffee shop. Then the driver got out of the car, walked around to the back seat and opened the door.
Then Zhong Meilan got out of the car.
She dressed neatly as always, wearing a white retro Chanel jacket on the upper body and a black velvet skirt on the lower body. Her hair was neatly curled. She held a small black crocodile leather sachet in her right hand, and a pigeon egg-sized jade ring on her left index finger. She raised her chin slightly and walked slowly towards the coffee shop.
When she arrived at the coffee shop and didn't see Qiao Ruoxing, she frowned. The waiter led her to sit down. Zhong Meilan looked at the chair with disdain and whispered something.
The waiter quickly wiped the chair again with a tissue.
Qiao Ruoxing looked at everything in the store opposite with an indifferent expression. If she didn't want to meet her, a pampered person like Zhong Meilan would not appear on this street. If she took one more step in such a market place, her noble shoes would be dirty.
She was not in a hurry to get off the car.
She kept time and looked at the opposite side. Qiao Ruoxing got off the car slowly until Zhong Meilan got impatient.
When she arrived at the store, Zhong Meilan glared at her and said indifferently, "You are late."
Qiao Ruoxing pulled out a chair and sat down, "It's good that you can come, Ms. Zhong, don't be picky."
Zhong Meilan frowned, "Is this the attitude you use when talking to me?"
Qiao Ruoxing said lightly, "You Gu family members all take yourselves seriously. Who are you? A national heroine? Or the president's wife? What attitude do I need to have towards you?"
Zhong Meilan's face sank, "You are really an uneducated thing!"
"My mother is gone, it's normal to be uneducated. You are alive, and I don't see Gu Jingyang being well-educated," Qiao Ruoxing glanced at her, "You, a daughter raised by a living person, are not as good as my mother, a dead person."
The implication is that you might as well be dead than alive.
Zhong Meilan's face looked ugly.
Qiao Ruoxing has been married to the Gu family for many years. When has she dared to talk to her like this?
She came in less than three minutes ago. She could say ten sentences to every one she said. Zhong Meilan was furious.
Is Qiao Ruoxing crazy because of the divorce? She doesn't even consider the consequences of her words.
Thinking about the purpose of coming today, Zhong Meilan temporarily swallowed her breath and said in a deep voice, "I'm not here to talk nonsense with you today. Two things, first, go to the hospital to apologize to Jingyang, and second, hand over the jade ring that the old lady gave you. Don't try to take the Gu family's things after the divorce."
Qiao Ruoxing's eyes darkened.
The jade ring was a small gadget that the old lady gave her when she served tea to Gu Jingyan when she got married.
Qiao Ruoxing is quite knowledgeable about jewelry and jade. Although the ring is mutton-fat jade, the quality is not very good, but it is very old, so it should be a toy that the old lady often plays with.
It's not valuable, not as expensive as the bracelet she gave to Zhong Meilan at the jewelry exhibition before.
She occasionally wears it on her hand to play with it, but her fingers are thin, so it's a bit loose when she wears it, and she is afraid of damaging it, so she doesn't wear it often.
If Zhong Meilan hadn't mentioned it, she would have almost forgotten about it. She had played with it in the car last time, and had thrown it into the storage compartment of the car, and hadn't touched it for a long time.
It was a bit strange that Zhong Meilan came to her first to ask for this thing when she learned that she and Gu Jingyan were divorced.
Qiao Ruoxing didn't know, but Zhong Meilan knew it.
The jade ring itself was worthless, but the jade ring represented the position of the mistress of the Gu family.
This ring has a long history. It seems to have been passed down from the ancestors of the Gu family and passed to the old lady. When the old lady was young, she traveled all over the country, and the jade ring on her hand had become her symbol, a symbol of the identity of the mistress of the Gu family.
The old lady had two sons and one daughter. The daughter married far away, and she had two sons.
It stands to reason that after the two sons got married, she should choose a new owner for the ring. According to convention, it should be given to the eldest daughter-in-law.
But after she married Gu Qingjiang, the old lady did not give her the jade ring.
When she married Gu Qingjiang, she was pregnant before marriage. Because of this factor, she always felt that the old lady had some complaints about her, so she was reluctant to give the jade ring to her. Fortunately, she did not give it to Song Qingyun.
If it had always been like this, it would have been fine. No one could compete for it, so she would not feel anything. But as soon as Qiao Ruoxing married, the old lady gave her the jade ring.
It was given to Qiao Ruoxing as a casual reward during the tea ceremony.
Gu Jingyan did not get close to her, and even married a wife that did not go according to her wishes.
She looked down on Qiao Ruoxing from the beginning, but it was the person she looked down on the most who easily got the jade ring that she had been asking for. How could she not hate her?
Qiao Ruoxing was now divorced from Jingyan, so she naturally wanted to get it back.
As long as she could get it from Qiao Ruoxing, she would not be afraid of the old lady asking for it back again.
Qiao Ruoxing glanced out the window, took out her phone and dialed a number, then put the phone on the table and raised her eyes.
"Why should I apologize to Gu Jingyang? She came to my workplace and made trouble, smashed our dressing room, and hurt my hand. She should apologize to me, why should I apologize to her?"
Zhong Meilan's face was gloomy, "You splashed boiling water on Jingyang, are you innocent? If I hadn't considered our relationship as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, I would have called the police to arrest you long ago!"
"Speaking of calling the police," Qiao Ruoxing raised his eyes, "Ms. Zhong should worry about yourself. Do you think I don't know the dirty things you did?"
Zhong Meilan frowned, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Qiao Ruoxing took out a bottle of medicine from her bag and put it on the table.
"Does it look familiar?"
Zhong Meilan looked normal, "What do you mean?"
Qiao Ruoxing took out another ingredient list from her bag and put it on the table.
"Is it more familiar now?"
Zhong Meilan stared at the names of the Chinese medicines on it, her eyes slightly heavy, "I don't understand what you are talking about?"
Qiao Ruoxing curled the corners of her lips coldly, "Safflower, Millettia reticulata, Musk, Ephedra, Sophora flavescens... These medicines are familiar, right?"
Zhong Meilan stared at her intently and said nothing.
"You didn't want me to get pregnant, so you drugged me and made me infertile. Zhong Meilan, do you really think you can hide it?"
On the other end of the phone, Gu Jingyan pursed his lips tightly, his face was very gloomy.
Lin Shu didn't dare to breathe beside him.
Mr. Gu packed up at home for a long time early in the morning and came to the appointment happily. As soon as he arrived at the coffee shop, his wife called him. Mr. Gu was flattered to answer the phone, but the voices coming from the other end were the wife and the lady talking.
