Gu Lingqiao had never seen a talking bird before, and was extremely surprised. Seeing Long Rui, she asked incredulously, "Brother Rui, that bird can talk! Is it yours?"
Long Rui: "It belongs to my wife."
"Really! That’s great! Brother Rui, let Lingling have it to play for a few days! Lingling has come to the Capital and it’s her first time seeing something so curious and fun." Gu Lingqiao was so excited, she even forgot the wound on her face, her eyes shining brightly as she looked at Xiao Jiu.
Xiao Jiu: "You ugly freak, who would play with you?"
Gu Lingqiao froze for a moment, looked at Long Rui, and asked hurtfully, "Brother Rui, is it calling me names?"
Long Rui glanced up at Xiao Jiu, which shrank back slightly, then puffed up its little chest with an I-fear-nothing attitude. Long Rui’s lips curled into a smile. They say pets resemble their owners; indeed, this bird somewhat has Xuexue’s temperament.
Lingling waited for a long time, but Long Rui didn’t answer her, so she tentatively called, "Brother Rui, Brother Rui."
He shook his head and said, "No, it’s insulting me."
Gu Lingqiao nodded in agreement; yes, how could she, with such exceptional beauty, be an ugly freak? It surely wasn’t directed at her. The ugliest person here could only be Long Rui, so it must be cursing him.
Thus, she felt reassured, believing Xiao Jiu wasn’t insulting her, only Long Rui. After all, she considered herself to be extremely beautiful, surpassing average girls, and definitely not ugly.
"Ugly freak, ugly freak, it’s you I’m talking about! You look so hideous and yet dare to steal my owner’s man; are you out of your mind?" Xiao Jiu continued to chirp insults at Lingling from the rooftop.
The self-deceiving lie was thoroughly exposed.
Gu Linger was so angry that she could barely speak, she looked up at the rooftop, "You... you... you actually called me an ugly freak?"
Xiao Jiu flapped its wings and started again, "Ugly freak, you are an ugly freak! Ugly as a ghost, and you still want to steal my family’s man? Aren’t you ashamed?"
"Oh no, I want to die, Brother Rui, it’s insulting me." Gu Lingqiao stamped her foot petulantly, pulling on Long Rui’s arm, swaying it in a spoiled manner.
"Hahaha...!"
Long Yi couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Long Rui turned back and glared at him fiercely.
Long Yi hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand, not daring to laugh anymore.
Only then did Long Rui turn around and comfort Gu Lingqiao, "Lingling, be good, you are a lady from an eminent family, don’t fuss over a mere bird."
Lingling: "But... it’s insulting me, Brother Rui, you should teach it a lesson for me."
"Ugly freak, ugly as a ghost, still thinking of luring a man, don’t have a mirror, so maybe you should see yourself in pee." Xiao Jiu finished its rant and, afraid of Long Rui punishing it, immediately flew away, flapping its wings.
"Oh no, I want to die, ah woo woo woo...." Having never been insulted like this before, Gu Lingqiao couldn’t stand it, covering her face with a handkerchief and crying.
Long Rui patiently soothed her, "Lingling, don’t cry! Don’t take what a bird says to heart."
Long Yi secretly rolled his eyes at how dramatic she was, unable to resist saying, "Miss Gu, if you don’t treat that wound soon, it’s going to get infected."
Gu Lingqiao finally remembered she had a wound on her face only then, and immediately stopped crying, saying to the doctor, "Doctor, please quickly check if the wound on my face will ruin my looks?"
The doctor, a man in his forties with a medicine box slung over his shoulder, had been waiting nearby. Hearing her request, he glanced around and said awkwardly, "Miss, even for treatment, you need a proper location; how can I examine you here in the hallway?"
