Chapter 111: An Exciting Time Together
With that, his tone turned cold. He raised his hand and gestured to the bodyguards. “Take her away.”
Wang Fengxia finally could not take it anymore and fainted. Gu Zheng clicked his tongue when he saw her like this. “How boring.” She was too scared. It was not worth his trip here.
Song Shiyu glanced at his expression and suggested, “I heard that Qiao Rou and Gu Moling were also at the entrance of the university at that time. They even helped Wang Fengxia ask Madam to apologize.”
“Oh?” Gu Zheng pinched his fingers and pretended to casually say, “Then bring them over to join in the fun.”
…
On the other side, when Qiao Xi returned to the classroom to prepare for class, Qiao Rou and Gu Moling received an invitation from the head of the Gu family.
Qiao Rou was delighted. Gu Zheng? Why would he send her a message?
At the same time, Gu Moling was also looking at the message with surprise. He was a junior of the Gu family and had heard about the current head of the Gu family a long time ago. He knew that Gu Zheng was extremely powerful in the Gu family, and no one dared to provoke him. Everyone said that Gu Zheng was only so powerful because of the Gu family, but only the Gu family knew that the Gu family relied on Gu Zheng to get to where they were today. In other words, the Gu family was nothing without Gu Zheng.
“Rou Rou, I didn’t expect that the head of the family would invite us over as guests. You don’t know this, but I’m only a member of the side family in the Gu family. It’s extremely difficult for me to meet the head of the family. Even my father has to ask for permission before he can meet the head of the family. I didn’t expect that we would actually receive an invitation today…”
Gu Moling excitedly informed his parents about this news. Gu Moling’s mother’s excited voice came from the phone. “That’s great. If we can get in touch with the head of the family, our status in the Gu family can rise. We don’t have to be wary of others. Mo Ling, you and Rou Rou must perform well! Right, pass the phone to Rou Rou. I’ll talk to her personally.”
Qiao Rou took the phone and greeted obediently, “Hello, Aunt.”
“Rou Rou, such a good girl you are.” Gu Moling’s mother’s voice was gentle and loving. “Our Rou Rou is still the best. You’re simply the lucky star of the Gu family. Look… Not long after you got together with our Moling, the patriarch saw our Moling’s good side. Fortunately, you’re the one marrying into the Gu family. If it were your elder sister, Qiao Xi, I would definitely be angry.”
Qiao Rou smiled gently. “Aunt, you’re flattering me. Brother Moling is outstanding, which is why the family head likes him. As for my sister… Although she has a lot of problems, I believe that time can change everything. She’ll definitely change.”
“No matter how much a good-for-nothing changes, she’s still a good-for-nothing.” Gu Moling’s mother had a very bad impression of Qiao Xi. “If that kind of good-for-nothing really marries into our Gu family, our Moling will never enter the eyes of the patriarch in his life. She’s just a piece of trash who will only drag us down.”
She was extremely glad that she did not adhere to the marriage contract back then. She was thankful that she supported Gu Moling and Qiao Rou to be together instead. Now, it seemed that her decision was a wise one! Qiao Rou was simply the lucky star of the Gu family!
As for that good-for-nothing, Qiao Xi, she could forget about occupying the position of Mo Ling’s fiance. The reason they agreed to that marriage back then was for the sake of the shares in Qiao Xi’s hands. Now that the Qiao family had promised that all of Qiao Xi’s shares would be transferred to Qiao Rou in the future, it was even more unnecessary for them to choose Qiao Xi.
Gu Moling’s mother would occasionally hear some news about Qiao Xi and knew that she seemed to be an old man’s mistress… She was even more glad about her choice. Fortunately, their future daughter-in-law was Qiao Rou. Otherwise, it would really be embarrassing.
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Rou excitedly grabbed Gu Moling’s sleeve. “Brother Moling, what Aunt said just now… I felt a little upset when I heard that. Why don’t we bring Sister to see the head of the Gu family too? I think the reason why Sister became like this is because she’s too short-sighted. She doesn’t know what true high society is.”
Qiao Rou shook Gu Moling’s arm and said softly, “Alright?”
Gu Moling subconsciously wanted to refuse. He felt that bringing an outsider to see the patriarch would easily make the patriarch angry. However, on second thought, Qiao Xi was Qiao Rou’s elder sister, not an outsider… Moreover, Qiao Rou was so gentle and kind. Bringing Qiao Xi along would highlight Qiao Rou’s beauty, so he nodded in agreement after thinking for a moment.
He liked Qiao Rou’s kindness. He believed that the head of the family, who was also a man, would have a good impression of the gentle and kind Rou Rou.
Perhaps when the patriarch was satisfied with Qiao Rou, he would even casually arrange jobs for them…
Chapter 112: Sister Did Not Do it On Purpose
Qiao Xi had just finished class when her phone vibrated. She took it out to take a look… Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows. This scumbag, Gu Zheng, had actually taken the initiative to contact her and said that he would give her a surprise tomorrow?
For some reason, Qiao Xi felt that it might not be a surprise but a shock. She was about to leave the classroom when she saw a few figures standing outside.
“Qiao Rou, what’s wrong? Don’t cry. Did someone bully you?”
The few girls outside the door took turns to comfort Qiao Rou. Qiao Rou leaned against the wall and weakly shed tears. “I didn’t do anything. My sister was wronged. I want to apologize to her.”
Wang Qing supported her angrily. “Why are you always thinking about that b*tch, Qiao Xi? You treat her as your sister, but she doesn’t treat you as her sister! I heard that something happened to Qiao Corporation recently because of that b*tch, Qiao Xi? She offended the partner the company was working with and refused to apologize, causing Qiao Corporation to clean up her mess.”
Everyone on campus had long heard that Qiao Corporation was not doing financially well recently, and it seemed that they had offended someone… They did not expect that Qiao Xi was the one who caused this trouble. She did not even live with the Qiao family anymore. Even though she sounded like she was cutting ties with the Qiao family, she still had to get the Qiao family to clean up the mess when she got into trouble. It was really unlucky for the Qiao family to have such a daughter!
Speaking of the company, Qiao Rou sighed and explained, “My sister didn’t do it on purpose. She has been playing around outside all these years. She’s the eldest daughter of the Qiao family now, but she’s a little lawless and doesn’t know what’s right and wrong… But it doesn’t matter. Our company is fine. No matter what trouble my sister has caused, Dad will take responsibility for her. In the future, when Dad is tired and retires, there’s still me.”
Her words instantly touched the surrounding students. They were all asking why they did not have such a kind and cute sister themselves! They even complained that Qiao Xi had such a good sister but she did not know how to cherish her.
Qiao Xi: “…”
She really wanted to tell them, ‘Come, I’ll give this younger sister to you. Hurry up and take her away. Why would I want to cherish a younger sister who occasionally has strange thoughts about me and even wants to kill me? Do I not wish to live?’
The instant Qiao Rou raised her head and saw Qiao Xi, she hurriedly walked through the crowd to Qiao Xi’s side. “Sister, I’m sorry. It was my fault just now. Can you forgive me?”
Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows, not knowing what tricks Qiao Rou was going to play this time. Logically speaking, Qiao Rou’s reputation in the university was good enough. Whenever any student mentioned her, they would say that she was a gentle goddess, she had a good attitude, and she was good-looking… Hence, she really did not need to step on her to improve her own status.
Qiao Rou noticed Qiao Xi’s impatience and hurriedly explained, “Sister, don’t worry. I’m not forcing you to forgive me. I just want to express my apology. It’s fine if you don’t accept it, but I want to compensate you. I wonder if you’ll agree?” She looked at Qiao Xi carefully with a gaze that was as innocent as a deer’s. This caused the surrounding people to wish for nothing more than to open Qiao Xi’s mouth and force her to forgive Qiao Rou.
Unfortunately, they were only thinking about it in their hearts. Qiao Xi’s imposing aura was too strong, and every time they met her gaze, they would be terrified to the point of shrinking back. Hence, it was impossible for them to grab Qiao Xi’s mouth and make her speak. They didn’t have the courage to do it.
They could only sigh at how kind Qiao Rou was compared to Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi shook her head in amusement. Earlier, it was clearly Qiao Rou’s fault and it was normal for her to apologize. However, it seemed that if she did not nod and agree to Qiao Rou’s request now, it would be as if she had committed an unforgivable mistake. She kept saying that she would not force Qiao Xi to forgive her, but in reality, she was forcing Qiao Xi to forgive her.
Her younger sister was really awesome at manipulating people.
“Tell me, what kind of compensation is it? Is it money or the shop?” Qiao Xi crossed her arms and asked in a bored tone. Of course, she was purely saying this to disgust Qiao Rou. Qiao Rou was like her mother and felt that everything in the Qiao family belonged to them. They thought of themselves as the rightful owners of the Qiao family’s assets, so it was best if she could not get anything.
Hence, she did not think that Qiao Rou could give her any good compensation. She absolutely did not expect that the compensation Qiao Rou wanted to give her was this!
“Sister… The head of the Gu family invited me and Brother Ling to Longwan Residential as guests. You also know that Brother Ling and I are getting married soon. I think the head of the family wants to see me. Can I bring you along? I’m afraid I’ll be too shy if I go alone…” Qiao Rou said this pretentiously.
The surrounding people widened their eyes and thought they had misheard. Longwan Residential?! The head of the Gu family?! He invited Qiao Rou over as a guest?! Oh my God!
Qiao Xi: “…”
She just wanted to curse out loud!
