Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 314: 314: Pull her off the horse

On the stage, the scene was fully captured in Gu Tong’s eyes, and the smile at the corner of her lips never faded. Instead, she maintained a look of watching a show.

Cheng Bing, initially wanting to criticize, noticed this scene and swallowed back all her words. She knew Gu Tong and understood her way of handling things.

It was precisely because of this that her heart started to doubt—could it be that there’s really a good show to follow...

...

”These boring programs should be kicked off the stage. Why not see some fresh performances? I’m eagerly waiting for Qiu Xue to sing.”

Sun Caixing, the wife of scholar Lu Lijun, waved her hand and complained to the other noble ladies by her side, ”Our little sister Qiu Xue is the girlfriend of the Devil King. This performance is especially to cheer for the Devil King. To have her sing solo after such an awkward program!”

Recently, Qiu Xue’s image had deeply ingrained itself in everyone, especially among this group of noble ladies, who all regarded her as the Devil King’s girlfriend, almost to the point of calling her sister-in-law.

Another noble lady was also displeased, ”Isn’t it? I heard little sister Qiu Xue got up at five in the morning to warm up for this performance. We have all been through this, so we understand her feelings. Simply put, she is longing desperately for her man’s return.”

”Started warming up at five in the morning... This nightingale of the art club isn’t easy... But again, if it’s really because of the Devil King and their good relationship, then it’s worth it...”

Sun Caixing snickered and said, ”You got that right. The other day when the Devil King went to battle, little sister Qiu Xue cried like a teary mess, looking so pained that I felt sorry for her.”

”Noble ladies have it tough. Little sister Qiu Xue is young, and it’s not easy for her to endure. Hearing you say this makes me anticipate it even more. I bet, the song she sings for the Devil King won’t be an ordinary one...”

The noble ladies sat in the fourth row, separated by only a thin line. In groups, they chatted animatedly, their voices carrying through the air and into the ears of those nearby.

Cheng Bing, sitting in the third row, had no excuse not to hear it. Her face was like black iron, teeth clenched, fists tightly held; she was burning with anger, unable to contain it!

The more joyful the noble ladies were in their chat, the angrier she became. At this moment, she wanted to stand up and reason with them!

”What on earth are you doing!” Cheng Bing’s hand was grasped by someone—no need to think, it was Gu Tong. She said irritably, ”Is this the good show you were talking about! Some show indeed!”

The title of Countess is about to be snatched away! Being oppressed like this, she can actually endure!

If it were Cheng Bing, she would have rushed out to speak with those noble ladies, letting them know what nonsense is and what it means to wrongly pair the mandarin ducks, and instantly tear apart Qiu Xue’s disguise, and by the way, tell them what it truly means to be shameless!

”Going against them won’t bring any benefits!”

The trainee is a trainee, and a noble lady is a noble lady. Trainees have strict discipline, but noble ladies do not have to care about such things.

To put it simply, they are just women, wives. Other than considering the rise and fall of their husbands’ positions, their professions would hardly delve into deeper issues, which these women are still completely unaware of.

Cheng Bing exposing Qiu Xue, although a way, would only embarrass the noble ladies and in knowing the truth, they’d vent their anger on Gu Tong.

Thus, this is not the result Gu Tong desires!

Moreover, she didn’t want to let Qiu Xue off so easily, nor did she want to expose her. Rather, she would eagerly encourage her, pushing her further!

One falls harder from a greater height; Qiu Xue isn’t yet in a situation where she can’t back down, so how could Gu Tong bear to pull her down now?
