Madam Li's Identity Is Exposed Again!

Chapter 449: Chapter 449: A Chance Encounter with Gu Qiaomei in the Toilet

Chi Enen felt sick to her stomach upon hearing Chi Jianguo’s name and hurried to the restroom.

The Left Bank’s restroom was as exquisitely decorated as its name suggested. Chi Enen turned on the faucet, and just as she was putting her hands under the water, she heard a familiar voice behind her.

“Enen.”

That voice was…

Chi Enen turned around and, sure enough, saw Gu Qiaomei, whom she hadn’t seen in a long time.

Gu Qiaomei seemed to have aged ten years overnight. The elegance in her usually well-maintained eyebrows and eyes was replaced by a look of fatigue, and her usually meticulous updo now seemed somewhat disheveled, with what appeared to be a red mark on her left cheek.

For more than 20 years, Gu Qiaomei had always appeared pampered and gracefully indifferent in her eyes. Even nearing 45, she looked as young as someone in her early thirties, instantly recognizable as a lady of high status.

But now she had suddenly aged, and black hair, once devoid of it, hinted at strands of silver. Despite her best efforts to look as usual, the tiredness and signs of aging in her eyes couldn’t be hidden by mere clothes and makeup.

As she watched Gu Qiaomei, Gu Qiaomei watched her, too.

When she saw how increasingly beautiful Chi Enen had become, with the poise and charm of a coddled little lady, a hint of resentment flickered in her eyes.

Why was it that her Xiao Ya could only stay in prison, while Chi Enen was free to climb into the high branches of Young Master Li’s affections?

She truly didn’t understand what was so good about Chi Enen, that she could attract such a significant figure to take ruthless measures on her behalf.

She stood restlessly in front of Chi Enen, for the first time unsure how to face this illegitimate daughter she had never taken seriously for 20 years. She opened her mouth and called out again, “Enen…”

Apart from the initial surprise at Gu Qiaomei’s change, Chi Enen had already calmed down. She said, “What do you want?”

Gu Qiaomei hadn’t expected an illegitimate daughter to have such an imposing aura. She shifted uncomfortably, looked at Chi Enen, and suddenly as if making a resolute decision, she dropped to her knees in front of Chi Enen with a slap.

Her kneeling was crisp and clear.

Before Chi Enen could grasp what was happening, Gu Qiaomei reached out, grabbed Chi Enen’s calf, and said with a defeated expression, “Enen, Aunt Mei has never asked you for anything over the years. This time, I’m begging you. Please, spare my brother, spare Xiao Ya just once.”

Chi Enen knew she had come to plead for mercy, just not that she would go to such lengths.

Gu Qiaomei now looked utterly dejected, truly pitiful.

Too bad that she no longer had the capacity to feel sympathy for any member of the Chi family.

This family was full of predators; showing sympathy for a beast was cruelty to oneself!

She stood up calmly, pulled her leg away from Gu Qiaomei’s grasp, looked down at her face, and asked indifferently, “Did my mom ever beg you?”

Gu Qiaomei was silent…

Subconsciously raising her head to look at her.

“I know all about what you and Chi Jianguo did back then. Did my mom ever beg you to show mercy?”

“…” Gu Qiaomei’s eyes darted around frantically, her mouth opened, but not a word came out.

Chi Enen looked at her eyes coldly, each word deliberate, “You and Chi Jianguo never showed mercy, so why should I?”

“…I’m begging you, Enen.”

“You beg me, and I’m supposed to spare you?”
