"We're all your family. Are you going to watch the company go bankrupt and leave us with nowhere to go? You're the Qiao family's eldest daughter. If you sit by and do nothing, others will say that you're heartless," Qiao Zhenguo said loudly.
Xue Yi glanced at him disdainfully.
Qiao Xi nodded. "Then what do you think I should do?"
Qiao Zhenguo looked at everyone and started pretending to behave like an elder. "Xi Xi, you're a member of the Qiao family, so you must not be able to bear to see the company go bankrupt. Quickly get your third brother to stop.
"Besides, he's not related to you by blood. We're your family!
"In order to invite you back, I've gathered so many people to make you happy. Haven't I treated you well enough?"
Everyone kept quiet.
Qiao Xi calmly said, "So this banquet is held for me? Or for Third Brother?"
Qiao Zhenguo frowned. "You can't say that. I do miss you. I was worried that it wouldn't be safe for a girl like you to stay outside, so I'm asking you to come home."
"I remember you telling me to get out of the Qiao family two days ago. It turns out that you suddenly told me to come home because you want Third Brother to let you off!" Qiao Xi pretended to be surprised, but there was a trace of a smile in her eyes.
Qiao Zhenguo's face darkened. This little b*tch didn't want to give him any respect!
Silence filled the air.
"Heh!" Xue Yi sneered. "I know now. It turns out that the Qiao family specially invited Qiao Xi back to attend this banquet for the sake of the company's interests. They're not sincere about letting Qiao Xi come back home at all."
Qiao Xi lowered her eyes as her body trembled slightly, her face filled with sorrow.
"I thought my dad really missed me, but it turns out it's just for Qiao Rou and Xu Mei. He wants me to forgive them!"
"After that incident, I begged Third Brother, but he insisted on helping me take revenge. He said that it's because Xu Mei sold me to President Qian and almost killed me. He canceled Qiao Rou's contract to teach you a lesson. He's not deliberately hurting the Qiao family's interests..."
Everyone was enlightened when they heard this.
These students didn't harbor complicated thoughts. They could tell right from wrong. They looked at Qiao Xi with eyes filled with heartache, and they decided that they must help Qiao Xi.
These people immediately took out their phones, logged into Li City University's forum, and created a few posts—
[You can't judge a book by its cover. The pure goddess Qiao Rou's heart is as vicious as a snake!]
In the post, everyone criticized Qiao Rou for being an illegitimate daughter. She was occupying Qiao Xi's room and even pretended to be pitiful to frame her sister. She was a two-faced b*tch.
Qiao Rou's mother, Xu Mei, was even more ruthless. When she chased Qiao Xi out of the Qiao family, Qiao Xi would've died if she wasn't adopted. Now, Xu Mei even sold Qiao Xi to the old hooligan, President Qian. If it wasn't for Qiao Xi's third brother, she wouldn't have been able to escape from the tiger's den.
The mother and daughter had done so many dirty things, yet they still had the cheek to ask Qiao Xi to forgive them?
At this time, there were many students on the forum. When they saw this post, they reposted it crazily. They even took photos of Xu Mei and her mother and posted them online.
All the students present said the same thing, once again proving the authenticity of this matter.
[Oh... Qiao Rou is an illegitimate daughter! I remember she said that Qiao Xi was an adopted daughter from the countryside. In the end, Qiao Xi is the real Qiao family's eldest daughter while Qiao Rou is a mistress!]
[Qiao Rou is so shameless! An illegitimate daughter dares to snatch the eldest miss's room? She even let Qiao Xi sleep in the basement! The daughter of a mistress is so vicious!]
[Everyone knows President Qian, right? He's a famous old hooligan in the industry. If Qiao Xi had fallen into his hands, who knows what kind of abuse she'd have to suffer?! Qiao Rou and Xu Mei still have the nerve to force Qiao Xi to forgive them?]
[Qiao Zhenguo is not fit to be a father! Qiao Xi is his daughter, yet he tolerates Xu Mei framing Qiao Xi time and time again. What a scumbag father!]
Originally, only a small group of people knew about the incident in Fragrance Hotel, but now, the news had spread all over Li City University.
Li City University's forum was abuzz, so someone posted about it on Weibo.
Twenty minutes later, Qiao Rou's manager anxiously called her.
"What? Say that again? Why should we terminate the contract?"
Following that, Qiao Zhenguo also received a message. It was Qin An's assistant who had sent him a few words..
