Chapter 720: Madame Qiao ‘s Anger

“My husband doesn’t like to flaunt his connections. People who do that could never be true friends with Young Master Yuezheng,” Qiao Xuan said.
Qiao Kou. ‘
Qiao Kou felt as if her sister was indirectly criticizing her.
Madame Qiao’s jealousy continued to grow, and she could no longer remain calm.
It was obvious that Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan had been friends with the Yuezheng Family for quite some time.
If only they had known about Shao Yunduan’s friendship with the Yuezheng Family, they wouldn’t have needed to worry about money at all. They used up all of their savings and even forced wealthy people to lend them money, tarnishing their own reputation.
At that time, they thought Shao Yunduan was just a minor manager who couldn’t even hold a conversation with Young Master Yuezheng…
Madame Qiao quickly dismissed Qiao Xuan’s story as bragging, believing that Shao Yunduan must have been a nobody in Young Master Yuezhengs eyes back then. She thought that the two only became closer after Shao Yunduan became the Provincial Champion.
Madame Qiao became increasingly annoyed.
Was the title of Provincial Champion really that precious?
Shao Yunduan was just a man from a poor family, and after he became the Provincial Champion, he became so well-received. And this woman Qiao Xuan was also raised in status!
Madame Qiao took a deep breath, feeling optimistic about the situation. She believed that they could benefit from the Yuezheng Family and acquire some wealth before returning to the capital next year.
They would need fine clothes and jewelry for their trip to the capital, so they wouldn’t be looked down upon by others, would they?
And they would also need money to give bonuses to the servants, as well as presents for everyone in the mansion and their relatives. They would need money to host banquets and entertain guests.
Madame Qiao’s constant need for money frustrated her even more as they had none. Her covetous gaze fell upon Qiao Xuan’s jade bracelet, reflecting her greed.
In the privacy of their conversation, Qiao Wei was never one to hold back her thoughts, especially regarding her sister’s behavior.
The jadeite bracelet on Qiao Xuan’s wrist was a beautiful and noble piece, with excellent color and crystal clarity, resembling an emerald-green lake.
“Take off the bracelet and let me see it.’
Qiao Xuan hesitated, “I’d rather not. I don’t want to risk damaging it. It’s a gift from First Madame, and I should keep it safe. If you want to see it, you can come and view it yourself.”
Qiao Xuan knew that if she took off the bracelet and showed it to Qiao Wei, she would never get it back.
Everyone loved this kind of beautiful bracelet.
‘Qiao Xuan, what do you mean? You think we will take this into possession?” Qiao Wei shouted angrily.
Qiao Kou despised Madame Qiao and Qiao Wei, but pretending to be generous, she added, “Second Sister, we are all sisters, and this beautiful bracelet is too precious to keep to oneself. You can give it to Elder Sister as a token of our family’s unity. It might even please First Madame to see us getting along so well. Or do you not want to offer it to us at all? Qiao Wei gave Qiao Kou a very praising look.
She was right this time.
Qiao Xuan burst out. “Of course 1 don’t want to. 1 never see anything good, unlike you who always have good things to wear. So I need to keep it up!’
Qiao Kou.
Qiao Wei flushed out of utter anger.
She did not need to care a thing when no one outside the family was here..
