Chapter 27 Get Pregnant First
When Mike glanced at Kate indifferently, his dark eyes flashed with a trace of cunning and evil spirit that she could understand, like a cold star in the night sky. Kate clenched her fists and stood there, not saying anything. She didn't know what to say. She didn't want to make an apology or to be rude.
However, Daniel grabbed Kate's arm and walked close to Mike with a smile on his face. "Uncle, don't lower yourself to the same level as her."
"Okay, I see." Mike raised his eyebrows and looked a little cold, as if he was dissatisfied with Kate's indifference.
Seeing that Kate was speechless at the moment, Daniel coughed unhappily to remind her, but she still stood there motionlessly without saying a word.
Daniel's grandmother's face darkened.
Ruby watched all this quietly. Her eyes were as cunning as a fox lurking at night, and he wouldn't miss any clues.
The other mother and daughter were happy to see the drama. Sitting at the outermost part of the room, Betty and her mother whispered, "Look, she's done to offend Mr. Leng this time. She doesn't know if she offended Mr. Leng, she offended her future mother-in-law. Her mother-in-law is Mr. Leng's sister! What a stupid bitch!"
The two of them gloated, as if they were waiting to see a good show.
The other members of the Gu Family didn't say anything more. None of them wanted to offended Mr. Leng. But now Kate offended and embarrassed Mr. Leng.
Daniel's grandmother couldn't stand it anymore and said in a harsh voice, "Kate, Mike is the uncle of Daniel. You have to respect the elders, okay? Now make an apology."
'What the hell.
He is my elder?
You must be kidding me. I don't want to have such an elder! He goes against every fiber of my being. I don't want to make an apology,' Kate thought to herself.
The complacent Betty couldn't hold her breath anymore. When she was about to open her mouth, Carla grabbed her in time and looked at her stepdaughter with a stern voice, "Kate, why are you so impolite?" Carla said as she stared aggressively at Kate.
Kate felt her anger rise as she heard Carla's words.
Kate was not pleased. She was afraid of Mike because she was worried that Mike was that man who had slept with her, and she was also afraid that Mike would deliberately find fault with her and make her lose a well-paid job.
But she was not afraid of Betty and Carla, the shameless daughter and mother.
Suddenly, a sharp light went straight to Carla's delicate face. Kate remembered one thing.
She remembered that her mother had a fierce quarrel with her father before the car accident. In fact, she had heard part of the content, about Carla's story. But now she was a little suspicious about Carla. Kate thought there was something weird in her mother's car accident. But her host was a weak and timid girl, so her host hadn't dared investigate it before.
But she was not her host. She must get to the bottom of the accident.
A sense of hatred rose from Kate's chest as she thought about this.
If Carla and Betty were really involved in her mother's accident, she wouldn't let them go.
She must let them pay a heavy price!
Withdrawing the anger in her eyes just now, Kate pretended to be weak and said carefully, "Mr. Leng, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that. Please forgive me." Kate didn't want to call Mike uncle. Now that she had dealt with the matter of Mike, she would teach Carla and her daughter a lesson.
No matter whether Mike was satisfied or not, Kate turned her head and asked weakly, "Sister, why are you so impolite? Why didn't you take off your mask when you met the elders of the Gu Family? Please show respect to others."
Kate's words reminded everyone in the room.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the direction of Betty, like the inquiring flashlight, on her little face covered with a mask. Their eyes continued to wander from Betty's face and the mask.
"You! How could you say that?" Carla and Betty stared at Kate almost at the same time. If looks could kill, Kate would not be standing here right now.
The corners of Mike's lips curled into a meaningful smile, as if he was eager to find out what would happen next.
Sure enough, Daniel's grandmother face was full of anger. She glanced at the direction of Betty and seemed to be a little disgusted. Betty noticed that Daniel's grandmother was so unhappy. So Betty deliberately looked at Daniel with pleading eyes.
Carla panicked. Her mind was blank. She wanted to say something to defend her daughter, but she didn't know what to say. She only clenched her fists, and the muscles on her face were twitching. Her eyes were as sharp as knives. She looked at Kate's pretty face and saw Kate's complacency and contempt.
Carla was even more furious. She gave a hard look at Kate and decided to teach her a lesson.
But Kate just sat there and looked innocent.
Ruby sat there smartly, watching everyone's reaction. There were many relatives of the Gu Family here. Everyone's eyes wandered over. At this time, they saw Daniel standing up. "Grandma, Betty's face is injured! Please don't ask her to take off her mask," Daniel said anxiously.
"Sit here," Daniel's grandmother ordered her grandson, pointing at the place beside Kate.
Her attitude was self-evident. She indicated that Daniel shouldn't involve in this issue.
"Grandma, please!" Daniel said anxiously.
Daniel took a resentful look at Kate and sat next to her reluctantly. He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "You made a fool of Betty on purpose! Why did you do that?"
"No, I didn't. I'm sure you must be mistaken about that," Kate pretended to be aggrieved, and in the eyes of the crowd, she was even more weak and innocent.
"You!" Daniel was speechless and quivering with Kate's words.
On the other side, Betty was sitting there and looking at Daniel with a pitiful look. Her eyes were full of tears and her red fingertips trembled. She seemed to be afraid that they would expose her mask in public. "My sister is as beautiful as a fairy!" Kate praised Betty with a smile.
"Really?" A young girl from the Gu Family said in surprise, "I want to see her face!"
"I'm not beautiful at all! Please don't listen to my sister." Betty's eyes were grey, and a ray of light came out of the grey, bright and shining.
At this time, the youngest sister of the Gu Family was closest to Betty. Then she walked straight behind Betty and suddenly pulled off her mask.
Her action made the whole room in an uproar.
Everyone looked curiously at Betty's face.
"I think she is not a fairy." The girl raised her hand and pinched Betty's face. She shook her head and said, "She must have an operation to change her face. Because she has a frozen and paralyzed face. And a fake chin! I could see the prosthesis in her chin under the light."
People in the room were talking about the girl's words.
"Plastic surgery?"
"Fake chin? Oh, my God, that's a big news!"
"In fact, I think her sister is very beautiful.
Look at her. The collagen on her face is real. She is just born with that face." The girl raised her hand and pointed at Kate's face.
Everyone followed the direction of the girl's gesture.
Daniel and the others looked around and found that Betty's face was not as natural and delicate as Kate's. Instead, Betty's face looked lifeless and unreal.
The corners of Daniel's mouth twitched uneasily. He was a little embarrassed.
However, his eyes suddenly lit up. 'The scars on Betty's face were gone!' Daniel couldn't stop sniggering.
Of course, Kate also saw that the purple spots on Betty's face suddenly disappeared, and she deliberately wore this mask. It seemed that Betty's little trick was a little better.
It seemed that Betty wanted to show her beauty by surprise and win the recognition of the people of the Gu Family.
'You're not going to be laughing for long. I'm not falling for your little prank, ' Kate thought to herself.
With a smug look on her face, Betty looked at Kate, as if she had let Kate down.
The girl who had exposed Betty's secret was Daniel's another uncle's child.
She was about ten years old, innocent and cute.
She turned her head innocently and said, "Her face looks so boring. I doubt that she went to the same hospital with other girls who have plastic surgery. Because they look alike. Brother, are you nearsighted? I really don't know your taste."
"No, I'm not nearsighted," Daniel said as he shook his head in bewilderment.
"If you are not nearsighted, why can't you see the real fairy? You can only see a woman with a fake face," the girl asked.
Her comment was quite concise and to the point.
Daniel looked embarrassed. He didn't know how to reply.
Carla's face turned pale, while Betty lowered her head in embarrassment.
Kate chuckled coldly. She had never thought that this issue would end like this.
The atmosphere froze.
Everyone on the table was stunned. They didn't expect that the girl would say out her mind so directly. It was really awkward right now.
The girl's mother scolded her daughter in a low voice, "You are too rude. Shut up."
"Dinner is ready! Let's have dinner." The displeased Daniel's grandmother sank for a long time before she spoke. She raised her hand and knocked on the table. The farce was finally over. She hated them to destroy her grandson's reputation.
Ruby smiled and said nothing. But she deliberately glanced at the direction of the little girl and did not want her to say anything more. Obviously, the girl's mother noticed that and quickly whispered to her daughter.
Kate saw everything clearly.
She thought that rich families were like deep sea. It was normal for them to quarrel or plot against each other.
The dinner seemed to last for a century, especially when Kate looked up and saw the icy face of Mike in front of her. It was so cold that the temperature in the room dropped with Mike.
Betty almost wanted to tell everyone that her sister was a football cheerleader. But Carla scolded her, "If you say this, she would not be the only one to lose face. She is your sister. Do you think it is nothing to do with you? It's a shame to implicate the Xiao Family! If so, you can't marry the member of the Gu family!"
She rolled her eyes and said, "You should try your best." Then Carla looked at her daughter's belly and continued, "Isn't Daniel's grandmother anxious to have a grandson? You can work on that right now. You know what I'm talking about."
After the weird dinner, all the guests prepared to go home.
Daniel's grandmother suggested, "Daniel, send Kate home."
After the group of people left, Betty sat on the passenger seat of Daniel's car and ordered proudly, "Sister, you can ride with uncle." Betty was not stupid. She knew that Mike was not interested in women, and he was even more unsociable. And Kate had sprayed water in Mike's face. Betty thought that Mike would not easily let Kate go.
Kate didn't want to be fooled by her sister. She prepared to say that she would take bus.
But before she could say something, Mike opened the car window and ordered coldly, "Get in the car!"
"I'm going to the hotel. I'll get out of your way," Kate rolled her eyes and said. Just now, she heard that Mike was going back to his house in the city. That was why she said she would go to the hotel. She didn't want to ride with Mike. In this way, Kate could not only get rid of her sister's trick, but also get rid of the ice man.
"I'm going the same way you are," Mike said coldly.
'What the hell. Are you sure?' Kate thought to herself.
Hearing the hotel, Betty cheered, "I'll go with you!" Betty remembered her mother's words just now. If she wanted to marry into the Gu Family, she had to be pregnant first.
On the other side, Kate felt herself was really out of luck. She tried her best to get rid of Mike. But she failed.
"Uncle Mike, aren't you going back to your mansion?" Daniel was also surprised and didn't dare to think further. It seemed that Mike didn't want to let Kate go. He secretly worried about Kate. [
