Chapter 1685: Chapter 1686: Taking Turns to Be Humiliated

The butler lowered his eyes with a respectful demeanor, saying, "I’m not sure about that. Madam never mentioned it. She only said to let you move there temporarily for reflection, and didn’t tell me if the house would be transferred to your name."

He spoke methodically, hands placed in front of him, standing upright like an old scholar.

Chu Xi almost spat blood from anger, her attention fixed on Rong Yan as she squeezed out through her teeth, "I am Mom’s daughter. What if she hasn’t said it now? The house will be transferred to my name in the future!"

"Well..." The butler seemed troubled, raising his head to quickly glance at her before returning to his formal state. "Madam hasn’t mentioned these things to me either. You are Madam’s foster daughter. If Mr. Qin has no objection, perhaps that house will be transferred to your name."

Chu Xi had always wanted to hide from Rong Yan that she was merely recognized as Jiang Chenyue’s ’foster daughter,’ but the butler bluntly revealed it.

She immediately looked at Rong Yan, and sure enough, saw a surprised reaction on Rong Yan’s face. Her heart felt like it had been bitten by an ant, trembling with anger.

"It’s just a house in the Rose Garden, I can afford to buy it myself. Mom cares so much for me. All I need to do is say a word. Who needs anyone’s consent?"

"Is that so?"

A man’s voice chimed in behind her, with a mocking tone.

She turned around, meeting Qin Jun’s cold gaze. "I told you long ago not to cause trouble here. It seems you’ve really got some nerve."

"Let me remind you, the reason you’re being moved out is because of your usual antics, your little schemes behind the scenes, embarrassing us entirely. When you stayed at Chu Garden, you didn’t even live inside the house, you were just a guest in the guestroom. You haven’t stayed in the guestroom for many days, and you dare to act like the host in front of friends I invited. Are you a Chu Family member? Do you know what a foster daughter means? A foster daughter is a stranger without a blood relationship. When Xixi returns, you, this foster daughter, can pack up and leave anytime! It’s none of your business how the family money will be divided in the future!"

"You..." Chu Xi’s eyes reddened with anger, her chin tensed as she gritted her teeth, "Don’t you go too far!"

Qin Jun wore a checkered apron, still holding a spatula. The slightly feminine apron around him seemed strangely fitting, exuding an aura of rebellious charm. Facing Chu Xi’s warning, he merely raised an eyebrow, looking down at her with his slanted eyes, not taking her seriously. "What if I am going too far? Can you make your ’mom’ throw me out? If you can do it, I have no objections."

Chu Xi really couldn’t do it!

Jiang Chenyue indeed treated her well, but this kindness was built on comparison with others.

If compared with Qin Jun, Chu Xi believed Jiang Chenyue wouldn’t hesitate to side with Qin Jun.

As this ’Miss Chu,’ she really couldn’t do anything about this cousin Qin Jun.

She bit her lip, her face turning pale as she stood frozen on the spot.

Qin Jun just glanced at her, not wanting to scare Rong Yan by arguing with her, and instead waved at Rong Yan, "Sorry, I should’ve come out to meet you earlier. I’m sorry you had to run into someone unpleasant, ruining the good mood."

"I’m fine, wasn’t affected. Huh, where’s Mrs. Jiang?"

After following him inside, Rong Yan didn’t see Jiang Chenyue and curiously asked.
