My Billionaire Exhusband Grovels Me After Divorce

Chapter 96: Is She Just a Vase?

Translator: 549690339

Madam Lu was exceptionally glamorous, clutching the same model Hermes bag that Lan Yuyi had yesterday, only in a different color, and was accompanied by two bodyguards.

The look in her eyes revealed disgust when she saw Qiao Yin.

From her high place, she spoke, “Qiao Yin, aren’t you an employee of the auction house? How come you don’t bow and welcome the customers? Utterly uncultured and tactless. If employees like you are here, this auction house must be on the brink of collapse.”

Zoe responded with cold rebuttal, “I wasn’t an employee here, I came after someone forced my boss to fire me and I lost my job. Madam Lu, tell me, who would be so shameless to pull such a dirty trick behind someone’s back? Don’t you think she lacks decency?”

“What did you say!”

“Madam Lu, I was scolding the person who caused my unemployment. Why are you getting so worked up? Could it be that you know this shameless person?”

“How dare you keep harping about being unemployed. You were just a frontline worker, don’t have real skills. A waste, and you’re not even embarrassed.”

“I wonder how Madam Lu knows so much about my circumstances. Could you have been the one who caused my unemployment?”

“What has that got to do with me! You were fired because you’re incompetent, and you want to blame me for it? You really are shameless.”

After speaking, Madam Lu turned and walked into the auction house.

She didn’t want to have a public spat with Qiao Yin. God forbid if someone was to take a picture and tarnish her image as a respectable lady.

Qiao Yin took a deep breath, and walked in as well.

Lu Yanxi just emerged from the restroom when she saw Madam Lu. She was taken by surprise, “Eldest Aunt, what brings you here?”

Madam Lu smiled at her, “What kind of talk is that, child? Can’t I come here? I heard there was a charity auction here. I came to auction something, don’t you welcome me?”

From her eerie tone, Yan Xi knew she was not at the auction to bid, but to start trouble.

To avoid causing a scene, she responded indifferently, “Eldest Aunt, let’s talk in my office.”

Madam Lu glanced at Qiao Yin, “You too, I want to test what you know. Let’s see if you can appraise my item.”

Qiao Yin knew she was here for her, but she was not intimidated.

Once they were in the office, Madam Lu did not take out an item for Qiao Yin to appraise. She started lecturing straight away.

“Yan Xi, I don’t mean to criticise you but you lack vision when it comes to hiring. You couldn’t possibly bring just any rubbish into the company, right? If you want to employ someone, at least employ someone of good character, skills, else you’ll only harm yourself.”

“Eldest Aunt, all my employees are quite good. I don’t have the situation you’re referring to.”

“How could you not?”

Madam Lu looked surprised, pointing at Qiao Yin, “Do you know what she used to do? A receptionist! Just a vase who bows and welcomes guests at the door and you’re telling me she fits for your auction house?”

“Really? I wasn’t aware of that. But Second Sister-in-law has been working really well here, she’s capable, eager to learn, and hard-working. She’s not a vase.”

Madam Lu’s face darkened suddenly, “What did you call her? Second Sister-in-law?”

“Yes, any problem with that?”

“She’s worthy of being addressed as your Second Sister-in-law?!”

Madam Lu angrily said, “Your Second Brother will soon marry Yuyi, and then Yuyi will be your Second Sister-in-law.”

“Lan Yuyi is my Eldest Sister-in-law, Eldest Aunt, I’ve always been calling her that, have you forgotten?”

“The past is the past. Now is now! If you don’t want to address Yuyi as your Second Sister-in-law, it doesn’t matter, but you’re not allowed to address Qiao Yin as such anymore, she’s unworthy!”

“Eldest Aunt, you’re going too far. My Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law are legally married. As long as they’re not divorced, I see no problem in addressing her as Second Sister-in-law..”
