Chapter 731: Chapter 731: Does she earn a million annually relying on her face?
Every beauty Cui Shuqian laid her eyes on, she seemed to have a penchant for oppressing, labelling them as no better than ornamental vases, stirring people to think that the only redeeming quality the beauties had was their looks. She enjoyed haloing herself with titles such as “talented woman” and “distinguished young lady”, projecting an image of the “most adored daughter-in-law of the wealthy family”.

She was an extremely hypocritical person.
It was only now that Dongfang Mu realised her only interest in their marriage alliance was to elevate her own status and to fuel her fabricated image.
Although he had his own selfish motives, looking to advance some of his own aims through the marriage alliance, he turned a blind eye to Cui Shuqian’s scheming ways.
But who knew, she’s now started to intervene in his personal life!
“I have never thought of keeping Qiao Yin on the sidelines as a mistress. Don’t speak ill of her in that way anymore. It’s not only insulting to her, but to me as well. If I Dongfang Mu have taken a liking to a woman, it will undoubtedly be done in a frank and above-board manner! Keep a mistress? Do you take me for the incapable fools whom you’ve had acquaintance with in the past?”
Just was just misunderstood by Qiao Yin as wanting to keep her as a mistress, only to return home to Cui Shuqian echoing the same sentiment.
Dongfang Mu felt a surge of anger in his heart, but his face still wore an amicable mask, “Also, Qiao Yin is just my assistant. There’s nothing more to our relationship. You don’t need to implicate her unnecessarily. Today in the bar, I only stepped in because I saw her being bullied by Gu Jing. I couldn’t stand by and watch my assistant get hurt, right? If word got out, people might even think I’m afraid of Gu Jing!”
However, Cui Shuqian didn’t buy his explanation.
Resuming her seat on the sofa, her tone softened, “You don’t need to hide the fact that you’re attracted to Qiao Yin. After all, your fondness for beauties is well-known, and she just happens to be an exceptionally beautiful woman. Otherwise, why would you have hired her as your assistant on such a hefty salary? Apart from her beautiful face, what else does she have? She’s incompetent, regularly missing work, yet you still grace her with a million-dollar annual salary. It seems beauty really can feed one!”
Dongfang Mu shot her a disgusted glance, but quickly suppressed that revulsion, “Judging by appearances? Cui Shuqian, you’re a victim of superficiality yourself, and here you are, shallow enough to assess a person’s abilities by their looks.”
Having always prided herself as a talented woman, this was the first time that Cui Shuqian had been branded as shallow. She didn’t like hearing such remarks, “You have the nerve to call me shallow? Isn’t the shallow one you, for having hired Qiao Yin as your assistant just because of her looks?”
A note of mockery flashed across Dongfang Mu’s beautiful peach blossom eyes, “So you’re saying that only an ugly girl can be capable, and that a beautiful girl is necessarily a vase and lacks working ability? That she only earns her million-dollar salary by leveraging her looks? That is severe workplace discrimination. You’re denying a girl all her hard work.”
Cui Shuqian couldn’t care less about his words. She continued to look down on Qiao Yin, “She definitely works hard, works hard to maintain her beauty, to win over your heart. That way she’ll have money. Dongfang Mu, I would advise you to stop squandering your feelings on a woman of such low-calibre. We’re the true match in family status and background. I would never compromise my body and soul for a few million.”
The more Dongfang Mu listened to her, the more he detested her.
In the beginning, she managed to present herself as a gentle and refined lady. But as he got to know her better, she started showing her true colours, revealing deep-seated contempt for commoners.
Although Qiao Yin didn’t come from a good family or have a comfortable upbringing to back her up, she had never been as harsh as Cui Shuqian. Qiao Yin always worked diligently, even to the point of tirelessness.
“She has never compromised her body or sold her soul, and I’ve never considered her low-class. On the contrary, you saying such things exposes your lack of accomplishment. Qiao Yin’s capabilities surpass your wildest imagination. The million-dollar annual salary I give her is already a bargain. Her beauty is the least worthy of mention amongst all her abilities.”
