Chapter 582: Each With Their Own Agenda

for the Asia-Pacific region at such a young age..." A gruff voice chuckled with an unclear meaning.In a lavish hotel suite, crystal chandeliers shimmered overhead. A large round table was laden with...Gu Ruqing humbled herself to move into the Jun family.

She was arranged to live in Xiyuan, the room next to Jun Zhiyan's boudoir, which was already a good courtesy.

But Gu Ruqing was still a little dissatisfied, “Why can’t I live in the house on the east side”

"Generally, guests are arranged to stay on the West Courtyard side. Please let us know if you need anything."

Fang Da Ma hosted her, and this is Qiao Bao'er's biological mother. It surprised her because Qiao Bao'er's carefree temperament was completely different from her mother's picky nature.

"Don't think you're so great just because you have a big house. Mine is even bigger and wider, and I have more servants." Gu Ruqing said with an air of arrogance.

Of course, Fang Da Ma didn't dare to argue with her. She bowed her head and still said the polite words, "Madam, you should rest early today. If you need anything, just call for a servant outside."

"Alright, Jun Qingcheng had brought me here a few times before." Gu Ruqing skillfully ordered the maid and waved for Fang Da Ma to leave.

She referred to Jun Qingcheng as the father of Jun Zhimu.

Gu Ruqing was known as a high-maintenance beauty back then, adored by countless men. Jun Qingcheng was one of her devoted admirers.

Qiao Bao'er is at Dongyuan, and she heard that her mother has been arranged a place to live.

Even her own biological mother, she only felt one thing in her heart: trouble.

Yesterday at Joe's house, I saw that her mother Gu Ruqing is no pushover.

Junzhi Mu didn't know what was wrong. He inexplicably invited her mother over to stay with them.

"...Why don't you go find the kids when you have time"

Jun Zhimu seems very indifferent to his son's disappearance, Qiao Bao'er strongly suspects that he may not have any paternal love.

Master Jun didn't seem to have much of a reaction to Gu Ruqing's arrival. It appeared that the incident with Jun Zhiyan had deeply affected him, leaving him feeling guilty. The old man had been staying at Beiyuan and hadn't ventured out much. He even started practicing Buddhism by fasting and meditating.

As Gu Ruqing, the guest's relative, had come to reside there, the Jun family was on high alert and busy preparing a lavish dinner to entertain her that evening.

However, dinnertime hadn't arrived yet.

Fang Da Ma suddenly saw a maid running up to her in a hurry and saying, "Madam... Madam fought with Mrs. Gu."

"What"

Even Lian Fang's mother was stunned and didn't react.

The maid was flustered and didn't know how to explain. She dragged Madam Fang towards Xiyuan while saying, "...It seems that Mrs. Gu knew our madam before. They bumped into each other in Xiyuan, chatted for a few words and then started fighting. They were pulling each other's hair, we didn't know what to do."

When Fang's mother arrived, she saw from afar that Mrs. Jiang Meili and Gu Ruqing were fighting on the floor, both looking very disheveled.

Their splendid garments were disheveled, and Gu Ruqing aggressively sat directly on Jiang Meili's chest, clearly having the upper hand. They pulled at each other's hair, like two madwomen, with not a hint of elegance.

My God.

Both of them are ladies of high social standing, how could they become such a mess fighting like this

Fang Da Ma went to report the matter to Qiao Bao'er again.

Jo Bao'er pressed her forehead, her temples throbbing constantly.

"... Pull them apart, shall we"

She didn't understand the complicated relationship between her mother and Jiang Meili, but it was unacceptable that her mother started a fight with someone as soon as she arrived.

At dinnertime, Gu Ruqing and Jiang Meili sat at the same table. The two women glared at each other with venomous hatred, glaring fiercely at their opponents, both clutching their knives and forks, unable to resist poking at each other's faces.

Mr. Jun is still having his meal at Bei Yuan and hasn't come out yet. Jun Zhi Mu, on the other hand, nonchalantly served Qiao Baoer a serving of green vegetables, as if he was pleased with this situation.

"You couldn't have known all along that your mom and my mom used to have a feud, so they were put together on purpose to fight"

After dinner, Qiao Bao couldn't hold back any longer and pulled Jun Zhi Mu aside to the lotus pond to question him.

His gaze drifted as Junzhi, looking a little dazed, clung to his arm. It had been so long since she’d taken the initiative to get this close to him.

About Gu Ruqing, he didn't deny it, "A person is likely to lose their rationality and speak recklessly when angry."

Jo Baoer didn't quite understand what she was hearing.

"Are you asking my mom to move in here so you can get information out of her"

The Lord's Shepherd did not answer, but instead took a step forward.

His hand encircled her waist, then lifted her head. Qiao Baoer's cheek pressed against his neck, and he lowered his head, his cool thin lips imprinted on her forehead. That warm, moist breath made her cheeks flush red.

His voice was gentle, "...Do you want to see our children"

Qiao Bao'er stiffened as she was held in his arms, his lips imprinted on her brow, and in her ear was his low, slightly coaxing voice.

"There was no need for her to answer. Junzhimu continued, 'Just wait a little longer, and you'll be able to see the child soon.'"

That means we can't visit the twins now.

Jun Zhi Mu loosened his grip on her, skillfully brushing the hair from her forehead. His eyes remained fixed on her, blazing with intensity. Qiao Bao'er's face remained flushed.

His actions toward her were natural, intimate, not like the wildness of new love, but rather like that of an old married couple.

I thought of a word, everlasting.

It seems Lord Jun treats her as always, with unwavering focus and favor.

Even if she forgot him, her heart couldn't help but surrender to him. A man like Junzhimu was too easy for women to fall for.

I've grown accustomed to his domineering, spoiling, and overbearing nature.

My whole heart belongs to him. I can only see him, he is mine.

Qiao Bao'er's cheeks flushed red, and she suddenly felt like she had married an old fox. This man was so cunning and shrewd.

Qiao Bao'er didn't know what Jun Zhimu wanted from her mother, and she knew her mother, Gu Ruqing, would surely stir up a hornet's nest back home.

Her mother was a very difficult woman to please, a real queen. Qiao Baoer always felt embarrassed by it, but after all, she was her biological mother and there wasn't much she could say or do about it.

Then the next morning, Fang's mother told her there were new guests at home.

Qiao Bao'er felt a headache coming on.

"...Miss Zhu brought a French girl back home and she is waiting for you in the living room now."

Jo Bao's current memory only stays at the point in time when she was preparing for the college entrance examination. Zhu Xiao Wei was her deskmate and roommate, a very pure classmate relationship.

"Joe, seeing that you're unharmed is truly wonderful."

Zhu Xiaowei ran up to her excitedly and hugged her tightly.

Jo Baoer seemed a little uncomfortable. In her memory, Zhu Xiao Wei wasn't usually this enthusiastic when bringing people along.

Let me introduce you to Emma, a good friend I met in France. We took leave from the restaurant owner, and for the next two weeks, I plan to stay at Jun's place.

Zhu Xiaowei was different from what she remembered. Perhaps it was the years they had spent together, deepening their bond, or maybe it was her time abroad that had changed her. The Zhu Xiaowei of the past would never have so casually said she wanted to live in someone else's home.

Jo Bao'er didn't object, "Well, I'll have Fang Da Ma arrange it."

Sitting on the sofa, Emma couldn't help but exclaim, "My God, I always thought Xia Zhu was just joking, I didn't expect her friends to be so wealthy. You're just like a princess living in a castle, it's simply too beautiful."

These foreign girls are so direct in their speech.

qiao Bao'er gave a wry smile and nodded at her, "Hello."

"...just stay here comfortably and don't hesitate to call someone if you need anything."

Zhu Xiaowei was already very familiar with the Jun family. She directly led Emma to Dongyuan. Dongyuan also had guest rooms, but ordinary guests usually stayed in Xiyuan.

Zhu Xiaowei had once lived at the Jun family's place for a while, staying in the Dongyuan courtyard. So, it was natural for her to walk towards Dongyuan. Fang Da Ma saw this and didn't stop her.

This aroused Gu Ruqing's dissatisfaction.

"Who is she"

"Why can I live in Dongyuan, while I have to live over there"

Gu Ruqing disliked Xiyuan, not because the houses there lacked scenic views, but because she believed Dongyuan was a symbol of status and social standing.

Zhu Xiaowei acted very calmly, “Aunt, shall we change rooms”

"Whether or not to change rooms is none of your business, you guest. You're not the one who gets to decide what goes on here." Gu Ruqing hated losing control.

"Mother, since you and Bao'er haven't seen each other for so many years, it would be convenient to stay closer so you can keep in touch."

Fāng Dāma was very embarrassed by these unwelcome guests.

In the end, Zhu Xiaowei persuaded Gu Ruqing to switch rooms with her, and all of this didn't require the approval of the Jun family.

"I always feel that Ms. Zhu seems to have changed a lot since she came back this time." When Fang's mother gave Qiao Bao night snack sugar water, she couldn't help but mention it.

"What was Little Zhu like before"

"Ms. Zhu used to be rather reserved and not proactive." Auntie Fang didn't want to say too much.

Joe Baoer didn't think much of Zhu Xiaowei's sudden return to China and her decision to live with her. She just thought it was an old friend looking for her. With so many rooms in the Jun family, it didn't matter anyway.

But after Xiao Zhu and Gu Ruqing switched rooms, she became much more troublesome.

Her mother lives in Dongyuan and sometimes rushes straight into the master bedroom without knocking, "……Baby, Mom hasn't seen you for so many years. If you have any worries or grievances, you can tell Mom."

She contacts her every other day to try and mend their relationship.

... this time back to China seems to have a ulterior motive, and directly put forward a request to her, " Qiao Bao'er, I want to meet Junzhiyan in person."

She was imprisoned.

"I know, so I want you to take me to see her."lationship with the Jun family.Suddenly, Qiao Bao'er, who had always been calm and composed, lowered her voice, "I mean, I can handle this myself. I won't be bullied by anyone."Zhu Xiaowei saw that sh...
