Chapter 1674: Verification

The sister-in-law was stunned, her brows furrowed, looking at her good friend in disbelief.

"Sultan, is that really true?"

Seeing her good friend did not believe her, Sultan said again: "If you don't even believe me, who else would you believe?"

"Let me tell you, this woman is no good; she inherited her husband's estate, but not only did she not give a single penny to her husband's younger brother,"

"Instead, she sent the man to prison."

The sister-in-law was full of astonishment, never having imagined that Qiaozhi would seek out such a woman.

Sultan recalled those rumors about Masha and said again: "It's not that I'm saying anything, but how long has it been since you went out? You don't even know about such things."

The sister-in-law glanced at the usual Qiaozhi, not quite believing that such a steady man could do such a thing; she looked at her good friend again, still somewhat disbelievingly saying: "Could it all be rumors?"

Madam Sultan was fuming with frustration at her good friend's stubbornness.

Just as she was about to open her mouth to persuade her again, at that very moment, a magnificent Horse Carriage arrived here.

Three people stepped down from the Horse Carriage: a woman leading two small children.

The woman was dressed very beautifully, and that white gown was very dignified and appropriate, setting off her temperament.

The two small children were also dressed in very gentlemanly and Princess-like fashion.

One could tell at a glance that their temperament was extraordinary.

The woman looked at Qiaozhi's sister-in-law, who had long been waiting at the entrance, though she had never met the other party.

However, seeing the other party waiting for guests at the entrance, Masha guessed that she was Qiaozhi's sister-in-law.

Masha immediately took her two children and stepped forward, the children holding a gift for the sister-in-law in their hands.

The sister-in-law looked at the graceful and luxurious woman walking over, as well as the two children she was leading, and was slightly stunned; she did not know who these three were.

A bad premonition suddenly arose in her heart.

She looked toward her good friend out of the corner of her eye, only to find that the other party had long since hidden away, as if avoiding a wolf or jackal, unable to dodge fast enough; her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Looking at the two small children she was holding hands with, she could not help but think: could her good friend's words really be true?

Masha looked at this woman, who was dressed very appropriately and had been standing here waiting, suppressed the anxiety in her heart, and greeted: "Hello, this respected lady, may I ask if you are Mr. Qiaozhi's sister-in-law, Madam Danni?"

Danni looked at Masha and asked with extreme vigilance: "Yes, who are you?"

Hearing the reply, Masha's heartbeat accelerated suddenly; suppressing the unease in her heart, she said again: "I am Masha, a friend of Mr. Qiaozhi. It is a pleasure to meet you."

Masha bowed respectfully, not losing a bit of etiquette.

If this were any other woman, it would leave a good impression, but coming from Masha, sister-in-law Danni felt full of discomfort.

She now felt as if her heart had been heavily struck by something, and for a moment, she could not catch her breath.

She looked at Masha with the two small children, the bright smile on her face stiffening.

It really was her!

Her good friend had unfortunately been right!

After Madam Danni was stunned for a few seconds, she still wore a smile, but it looked like a fake smile to others, and she chuckled: "Masha, I have heard Qiaozhi mention you."

Seeing the subtle change in Qiaozhi's sister-in-law's expression, there was no movement in the expression on Masha's face.

This was something she had already considered before coming.

After all, her own reality was laid out there; Qiaozhi's sister-in-law was a traditional person, and her own situation would definitely cause the other party's dissatisfaction.

Masha still said: "Dear sister-in-law, this is a gift my children brought for you."

As she spoke, her child raised the exquisite gift box in their hands above their head, holding it high.

They just wanted to attract the sister-in-law's attention.

The sister-in-law looked at the gift box held up by Masha's child, her gaze shifting slightly.

She was not greedy for wealth, but she was somewhat concerned about Masha's thorough etiquette.

The sister-in-law was

very stiffly refusing: "There is no need for gifts; it is the thought that counts."

"Please come in." The sister-in-law stepped aside, inviting Masha to enter.

But her tone and gaze had both become much colder.

A banquet host would not refuse those invited, even if they were unwelcome.

Masha took the gift box from the child's hand and said: "Sister-in-law, it is not a very expensive item, please accept it, sister-in-law."

The sister-in-law had nothing to say, but her good friend at this time led a group of people to surround them.

Without further ado, they cursed:

"You unfortunate woman, leave here, you are not welcome here!"

"That's right, please leave!"

The sister-in-law's brows furrowed; although she felt antipathy toward Masha,

that was only because of her status; judging from Masha's performance just now, the other party was still quite to her liking.

Although she did not welcome her, she would not drive her away either.

Although her friend was standing up for her, she still felt somewhat uncomfortable in her heart.

But the sister-in-law said nothing.

Masha, being accused, had a stiff expression; she looked at the sister-in-law and immediately noticed the other party avoiding her gaze.

Masha understood and revealed an apologetic smile.

Just as she was about to say something, at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared and blocked in front of her.

Masha was stunned, looking at the other party's broad back, which was like a protective umbrella, shielding her.

Qiaozhi coldly swept his gaze over the sister-in-law and her good friends.

He said coldly: "Miss Masha is an honored guest I invited. If you do not wish to see her, please leave of your own accord."

Having said that, he no longer looked at the noblewomen whose faces had turned gloomy with anger at his words.

Instead, he looked toward his sister-in-law, took the gift box from Masha's hands, and placed it into his sister-in-law's hands.

Before his sister-in-law could refuse, Qiaozhi said directly, "This is a gift for you from your future sister-in-law, my fiancée; you cannot refuse to accept it, sister-in-law."

His sister-in-law glanced at Qiaozhi, her beautiful brows knitting tightly together.

Fiancée?

Qiaozhi was sending her a signal: he would marry no one but her!

Masha's face flushed red; she had never expected Qiaozhi to say such things.

She had expected even less that Qiaozhi would be so proactive.

Fiancée...

At the thought of these three words, Masha's heart began to race.

After finishing his words, Qiaozhi turned and walked away, not caring in the slightest how much anger was written on the faces of his sister-in-law and the others.

He did not care at all; he did not care in the slightest.

His sister-in-law was slightly stunned, watching Qiaozhi's retreating figure while thinking about what kind of status this woman named Masha held.

A wave of bitterness suddenly rose in her heart.

"Danni, Qiaozhi is just too detestable!"

"He's latched onto a rich woman, so he doesn't need you anymore!"

"Has he forgotten how you helped him back then?"

Hearing her sisters chattering away as they criticized Qiaozhi, Danni coldly scolded, "Say less, both of you. No matter what, this is Qiaozhi's own business and our family matter."

After saying this, Danni ignored her old sisters and stormed off in a huff.

She wanted to see exactly what kind of charm this Masha possessed to have been able to win Qiaozhi over. The recent transcoding is severe; to give us more motivation to update faster, please move your little hands to exit reading mode. Thank you.
