Chapter 527 Sorry, I’m Late

Moreover, the Xu family was really strange. They did not dote on their biological daughter but doted on an adopted daughter. They even belittled their biological daughter in public. What was even more shocking was that they did not know that Qiao Xi had already married President Gu.

One of the madams could not control the anger in her heart. “Madam Xu, we’re all madams of high society, but I still can’t help but complain today. Why are you so shameless?! Your daughter adores President Gu, but does he have to like her back? Even if you don’t like your biological daughter, you shouldn’t slander her reputation in public, right? Are you worthy of being a mother?

“And you don’t know, President Gu—”.

Before she could finish, a cold female voice sounded from outside the door. “Sorry, I’m late.”

Everyone widened their eyes.

They saw Qiao Xi holding Gu Zheng’s arm as they slowly walked over. Everyone simultaneously looked at the Xu family. As expected, their eyes were filled with disbelief.

Xia Yunlou’s face darkened. This little b*tch had to come back at this time!

After thinking for a moment, Xia Yunlou rushed forward and berated loudly, “So, you still knew to come back, huh?! We brought you to the banquet, but you disappeared in the blink of an eye. You even spent so much time with another man. Do you have any respect for me? Do you know what shame is?!”

These words implied that Qiao Xi and Gu Zheng had been fooling around. An hour had passed, so the two of them must have done something unspeakable. Gu Zheng’s eyes were deep. The corners of Qiao Xi’s lips curled up, then she sobbed aggrievedly. “Mom, why are you scolding me? Didn’t you ask me to please President Gu? Although the case of my brother getting people to commit murder can’t be so easily withdrawn, President Gu has already agreed not to pursue the matter. My brother can be released now.”

Qiao Xi had an innocent expression. “I thought that you would praise me for saving my brother. Unexpectedly… Boo-hoo…”

Song Shiyu shook his head helplessly. He was already mourning the Xu family in his heart.

At this moment, the expressions on their faces were very interesting. They were shocked, angry, and frightened. They could not wait to escape from the banquet hall.

The entire venue was silent as everyone’s gazes landed on Xia Yunlou.

Xu Anran glared fiercely at Qiao Xi and stared fixedly at her hand that was holding Gu Zheng’s. She wished for nothing more than to burn a hole in Qiao Xi’s hand.

Was this little b*tch worthy of standing beside President Gu?

Xu Anran had been pampered since she was young. She became an A-lister in the industry and was also a top socialite. She worked hard to become more outstanding so that she could be worthy of the most outstanding man in the world.

Originally, the Xu family had an engagement with another family, but Xu Anran did not like that useless man, so she asked her parents to look for Qiao Xi and have Qiao Xi marry that man in her place.

Her parents naturally looked down on that man’s family too, but the engagement had been set. If they went back on their word, it would be a breach of their promise. That was why they thought of their biological daughter who was stranded outside.

Xu Anran was arrogant and had high expectations for her future partner. The moment she saw Gu Zheng, she knew that this man was the Prince Charming she had been waiting for. Only he was worthy of her.
