Chapter 231: Severing Relations?
Qiao Zhenguo gritted his teeth and decided to uphold justice.
“My eldest daughter has always been naughty and mischievous. She has caused trouble again this time. I’ll take her away now and go home to discipline her! However, President Qin, can you come with me? After all, I’ve disturbed you when I can’t afford to. I just want to save my daughter!”
Qin An sneered in his heart. If he had not known about the Qiao family’s scheme, he would have really thought that Qiao Zhenguo was a good father.
Thinking of the scene later, Qin An could not wait any longer. However, he said calmly, “Alright.”
Qiao Rou and Xu Mei were extremely excited.
They would see how Qiao Xi was thinking of escaping this time. If this matter blew up, the Qiao family’s shareholders would definitely not support her anymore.
Everyone hurried to the door of the suite. There seemed to be voices of a man and a woman inside the suite, making everyone gasp.
Xu Mei tugged on Qiao Zhenguo and seemed to be in a dilemma. “Old Qiao, Xi Xi must really like President Qian, which is why she lost her cool. It’s reasonable for them to be in a relationship. Don’t teach Xi Xi a lesson in front of everyone…”
“If I don’t teach her a lesson, how can she learn? Think about it! My entire life has been ruined by this daughter of mine. This time, she actually dares to seduce a man at a banquet. She’s simply throwing our Qiao family’s reputation to the ground!
“I’ll call my lawyer now and cut all ties with her!”
Everyone quickly tried to persuade him. Qiao Zhenguo held his chest and looked disappointed. “Her mother was like this back then. I wanted to teach her a good lesson, but I didn’t expect…”
“Dad! You’re cutting ties with me?”
At this moment, Qiao Xi suddenly pushed open the door of the suite and slowly stuck her head out, feeling slightly surprised. “Oh! Everyone’s here! What’s with the commotion?”
Everyone sized up Qiao Xi and scoffed when they saw that she only opened the door by a crack. They also heard a man’s voice inside.
Qiao Zhenguo was angry as he shouted, “Qiao Xi! What are you doing here? Open the door!”
Qiao Xi looked at everyone innocently with a helpless expression. “I don’t think so.”
Her nonchalant look infuriated Qiao Zhenguo.
Everyone also started criticizing her. “Miss Qiao, your parents are doing this for your own good. You did such an embarrassing thing at a banquet. Hurry up and admit your mistake.”
“Even if it’s for money, you can’t degrade yourself like this. You’re really embarrassing the Qiao family!”
Xu Mei was overjoyed.
Qiao Xi was bound to be her daughter’s stepping stone. She would never be able to make a comeback.
It would not be long before Qiao Xi was tortured to death by President Qian and went to hell to see her mother.
Xu Mei pretended to be sad and wiped her tears. “Forget it. Although Xi Xi isn’t my biological daughter, I’ve always treated her as such. Even so…”
Qiao Zhenguo’s expression was gloomy. “Qiao Xi, why aren’t you opening the door? What are you doing?”
The corners of Qiao Xi’s mouth curled up. “Are you sure you want me to open the door?”
Qiao Zhenguo was afraid that President Qian would not admit that he had slept with Qiao Xi, so he brought everyone here to catch them in the act. After the matter blew up, for the sake of his reputation, President Qian could only admit his relationship with Qiao Xi and marry her.
At this moment, he was a little impatient. “What’s wrong? You’ve done something shameful, so why are you afraid of others finding out? Hurry up and come out!”
Qiao Xi frowned. “But…”
Xu Mei’s scoundrel friend snorted. “Miss Qiao, don’t you want us to see what’s in the room? You’re just a child without a mother. How dare you mess around on such an important occasion?!”
“Her reputation has always been bad, so it’s not strange for her to do such a thing!”
“President Qiao! You have a clean family background. How did you give birth to such a daughter? You should educate her. If news of this gets out, it’ll ruin the Qiao family’s reputation.”
Qiao Zhenguo burned with rage. Even though this was all his plan, flames of rage arose in his heart when he thought of Qiao Xi ruining the Qiao family’s reputation.
At the thought of this, Qiao Zhenguo could not suppress his anger anymore and pulled the door open fiercely.
“What exactly have you done? You’re still hiding—”
!!
Qiao Zhenguo immediately choked and was dumbfounded.
Everyone rushed in and looked at the bed in the bedroom. The bed was empty and neat. There were no special traces at all.
In the living area, three people were sitting together with poker cards on the table.
Chapter 232: Disturbing Three Major Figures
Gu Yao was holding the poker card, his eyes filled with excitement. “I’ll definitely win this round, just admit defeat!”
However, Gu Yao turned around and looked at everyone in confusion. “Qiao Xi, what’s going on? Why did they rush in?”
The other two people were clearly aware of Qiao Xi’s plan, and they were smiling.
One of them was Zhou Guanjin. Qiao Xi had long notified him and asked him to bring a friend over to set this up.
They were having fun when they were interrupted. Hence, they stood up and said unhappily, “President Qiao, what are you doing? Why does it feel like you’re here to catch us in the act or something?”
Among the four of them, Gu Yao was the only one who did not know anything. He asked in confusion, “Are you guys crazy?! What does it have to do with you if I’m playing cards in the suite? We’re playing cards with Qiao Xi, but you’re not happy with that? You’re crazy!”
Qiao Zhenguo looked embarrassed, and his heart was in a mess.
Where was President Qian?
Gu Yao and Zhou Guanjin were in the room. Where did President Qian go?
Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
Xu Mei and Qiao Rou panicked as they looked for President Qian.
Xu Mei had seen President Qian enter with her own eyes. How did he disappear so suddenly?
President Qian should have started torturing this b*tch, Qiao Xi, the moment he entered the door. Why was Qiao Xi playing cards with Gu Yao instead?
Everyone laughed awkwardly. They did not dare to offend Second Young Master Gu, so they all lowered their heads.
Gu Yao was the second young master of the Gu family, and Zhou Guanjin was the heir to the Zhou family. The other person was not ordinary either. She was Qin Shuwan, the daughter of the Qin family.
Any one of these three people could arouse reverence in the hearts of everyone. Why were they suddenly gathered here together to play cards? Moreover, they were sitting together with Qiao Xi?
At this moment, Qiao Xi should be sleeping with President Qian. Moreover, President Qian’s secretary had said that he saw Qiao Xi and President Qian enter the room together. The two of them were very close.
Zhou Guanjin put down his cards with a disappointed look on his face. He swept his cold gaze across the crowd.
“President Qiao, can’t we play cards with our friends? Qiao Xi is just playing cards with us. She didn’t commit any crime. Why did I hear that you want to cut ties with her?”
Gu Yao frowned as well. “I’m really impressed! I’m having a good time here but why did you rush in? I paid for the room, but you’re still calling the shots here? You’re so free, huh?”
Qin Shuwan was Zhou Guanjin’s friend and was only dragged over to play along with him.
Although Zhou Guanjin did not tell her what was going on, she immediately understood what was going on.
The Qiao family had come up with a scheme and wanted to catch Qiao Xi in the act. They wanted to ruin Qiao Xi’s reputation and force her to leave the company.
She stood up slowly and said casually, “President Qiao, you seemed to be looking for someone when you rushed in. Don’t tell me you think Xi Xi did something wrong?”
Qiao Zhenguo trembled in fear.
He really did not expect to see these three big shots instead of President Qian when he rushed in.
Xu Mei was angered to the point of stomping her feet. Not only had she not embarrassed Qiao Xi this time, but she had even caused trouble for herself.
She smiled obsequiously. “You’re thinking too much. We were just afraid that she would be in danger, so we came to look for her. Our Old Qiao is a little impatient, but he’s also worried about Xi Xi.”
Xu Mei’s words were reasonable, and everyone heaved a sigh of relief. They felt that the three of them would not pursue the matter.
However, Qin Shuwan sneered in front of her and glanced at her. “Who are you?”
The smile on Xu Mei’s face froze. “I’m from Zhenguo…”
“Oh, you’re President Qiao’s mistress, right?” Qin Shuwan suddenly realized what was going on and chuckled. “You’re just a mistress. You have no right to speak on such an occasion. Qiao Xi is the eldest daughter of the Qiao family and the daughter of the legitimate wife. You should call her Miss Qiao.”
Xu Mei immediately choked as her expression darkened.
Qiao Rou bit her lip tightly. She knew that these three great figures were all on Qiao Xi’s side, and their faces were filled with resentment.
In the future, after she married Brother Moling and became the mistress of the Gu family, she would see how arrogant they could be!
Qiao Zhenguo’s face was livid but he still forced an awkward smile.
“I-I saw that Qiao Xi went missing, so I was afraid that she would get lost. Hence, I brought some people over to look for her. It’s nothing serious.
“It seems Xi Xi is very safe now, so we won’t disturb you anymore. Please continue.”
Qiao Zhenguo cursed Qiao Xi in his heart, but he did not dare show it on his face..
