Chapter 321: Something Must Be Wrong
Xue Yi sounded shocked. “Then do you know who the donor is?”
Qiao Xi knew that Xue Yi must know this person.
Who was it?
Before she could guess, Xue Yi said, “It’s Gu Moling.”
Gu Moling?
Qiao Xi sneered. “He’s so generous?”
“Of course, it’s for Qiao Rou!” Xue Yi’s tone was full of disdain.
“After Qiao Rou’s identity as an illegitimate daughter was exposed, the university blew up. Some people even asked her to withdraw from the university, so Gu Moling sponsored the construction of a building. This way, no matter what Qiao Rou’s identity is, she’s still the future Mrs. Gu. Naturally, no one would gossip about her anymore.”
Qiao Xi smiled. “I see…”
Xue Yi sneered. “The university is going to hold a donation ceremony to thank Gu Moling and Qiao Rou. Qiao Rou told the university leaders that she hopes you can participate too. The chancellor will call to invite you soon.”
Qiao Xi didn’t care about this. The only thing she was curious about was that building should cost a lot of money. When did Gu Moling become so rich?
…
Shortly after the call ended, the chancellor called and invited her to attend the donation ceremony at three in the afternoon.
Qiao Xi agreed, but she wasn’t in a hurry to get out of the house. Instead, she turned on her computer and did an operation. The computer screen was filled with complicated letters and symbols.
She glanced at it and smiled.
“Butler!”
The butler immediately rushed over. “Young Madam.”
Qiao Xi sneered. “Give Gu Yao a call and tell him to rush to Li City University as soon as possible. He’s already so old, yet he doesn’t even know that someone stole a huge sum of money from his bank account!”
There must be something wrong with the donation. Where did Gu Moling get so much money from? It turned out it was stolen from Gu Yao’s account!
…
Song Shiyu watched Qiao Xi leave in a hurry and reminded him, “President, aren’t you going with Young Madam?”
Gu Zheng took a sip of coffee and said calmly, “She can handle such a small matter.”
Song Shiyu was confused. “It’s just the Qiao family. You can crush them with one finger. Why…”
Gu Zheng waved his hand.
The Qiao family was Qiao Xi’s childhood nightmare. She suffered the greatest malice from their bullying and the cruel human world.
When she was bullied by the illegitimate daughter, her biological father and his mistress would hit and scold her. They even almost killed her. The darkness and fear she once suffered from had gathered into strong hatred.
Because of this, she would not easily get rid of the Qiao family.
Gu Zheng’s expression turned cold. After a moment of silence, he ordered, “Get Song Shijing to follow Gu Yao.”
Song Shiyu was speechless. Second Young Master was going too? Did Gu Moling…
Damn! Who gave Gu Moling the guts to touch Gu Yao’s money? He must be crazy!
Wait, that wasn’t right!
Song Shiyu looked at Gu Zheng in confusion.
Gu Zheng smiled meaningfully. “They’re all going to Li City University. I’m going to the Gu family’s old residence to visit my mother.”
…
Li City University.
The news of Gu Moling investing 80 million yuan to donate a building for the university had spread everywhere. Hence, the university decided to hold a donation ceremony to thank Gu Moling and Qiao Rou for their generosity.
Qiao Rou was from the entertainment industry, after all. When many media outlets heard this news, they all rushed over.
As soon as Qiao Xi entered the hall, she heard people discussing…
“Isn’t Qiao Rou an illegitimate daughter? Why is the son of the Gu family still getting engaged to her? And they even spent so much money to donate a building for her?”
“I heard that Qiao Rou is already engaged to Young Master Gu. Young Master Gu probably wants to support her, so he donated so much money!”
“I’m so envious! Whether Qiao Rou is an illegitimate daughter or not, having a man who loves her so much is enough.”
“The two of them look so compatible standing together!”
Qiao Xi looked at the two people in the crowd. One was the vicious illegitimate daughter of the mistress, while the other was a thief who illegally stole someone else’s money. They were indeed a good match!
The donation ceremony’s venue was packed with people. The media, teachers, and students were all in the hall.
Qiao Xi smiled. Qiao Rou really knew how to find an excuse for herself.
Previously, her Weibo account was a mess.. She didn’t even come forward to clarify things, but now, she and Gu Moling were attending the donation ceremony in a high-profile manner.
Chapter 322: Inviting Her To The Wedding?
Actually, the things from the past didn’t matter. As long as the donation ceremony went smoothly, Qiao Rou would be praised by the entire university and no one would mention her past mistakes.
At this moment, the chancellor invited Gu Moling and Qiao Rou on stage. Qiao Rou said gracefully,
“Thank you all for attending the donation ceremony. Brother Moling and I just want to help our alma mater as much as we can, but we also have some selfish motives…”
Qiao Rou paused and looked around before smiling. “My sister and I are both in Li City University, so this building was donated for us both.”
Everyone looked puzzled.
They all knew that the news of Qiao Rou being the illegitimate daughter was exposed because of Qiao Xi.
Now, Qiao Rou said that she donated a building for her sister.
These two sisters seemed to have a good relationship. Could it be that everything that had happened before was a misunderstanding?
Qiao Xi heard the people around her mutter, “Although Qiao Rou is an illegitimate daughter, I feel that her relationship with her sister is not bad!”
“It’s not her fault that she’s an illegitimate daughter. Rou Rou treats her sister very well. Why would Miss Qiao hate her?”
“That’s right. She’s indeed an illegitimate daughter, but Young Master Gu still acknowledges their relationship in front of everyone and even donated a building for her. If Qiao Rou is really not a good person, why would the Gu family allow her to join their family?”
“Qiao Rou is really fortunate to be able to marry into a wealthy family like the Gu family. No one will remember her identity as an illegitimate daughter in the future. On the other hand, Miss Qiao is in trouble. I heard that someone came to ask for her hand in marriage. After she left the Qiao family, that person said that he would never marry Miss Qiao even if he were to be single for the rest of his life! What kind of personality does Miss Qiao have? How could she scare someone to this extent?”
“She grew up in the countryside. Her behavior must be terrible!”
The reporters at the scene were live-streaming the event. These unintentional words were quickly spread.
Qiao Rou already had millions of fans. Although her identity as an illegitimate daughter was exposed and she lost a portion of her fans, there were still many brainless fans supporting her.
Not long after, a bunch of fans rushed into the live-stream broadcast.
Qiao Rou slowly walked down the stage and walked toward Qiao Xi. “Sister, come on stage with me.”
In an instant, everyone’s eyes and cameras were on the two of them.
Qiao Rou’s eyes were filled with worry. “Sister, what happened before is in the past. I’m very worried about you being alone outside.”
Then, she faced the media and said, “My relationship with my sister is very good. What happened before was just a misunderstanding. Some people exaggerated and spread the news. Actually, my sister and I didn’t go against each other.”
Everyone was stunned.
Qiao Rou said helplessly, “Sister, I actually donated the building this time to meet you. We’re sisters, after all.
“Brother Moling and I are getting married. You’ll attend our wedding, right?”
Everyone widened their eyes.
It turned out that this wasn’t just a donation ceremony. Qiao Rou and Gu Moling wanted to use this opportunity to announce their marriage in a high-profile manner.
At this moment, Zhao Lili rushed forward and said, “Our Rou Rou is beautiful and kind. Why would she do those despicable things? It was Qiao Xi who spread the rumors because she’s jealous of Rou Rou’s beauty and the fact that Rou Rou is getting married to Young Master Gu!”
Qiao Rou stopped her gently. “Lili, don’t talk nonsense. My sister didn’t mean it. Although there’s a misunderstanding between us sisters, our relationship is still very good. My sister will definitely attend the wedding.”
Everyone looked at Qiao Xi and waited for her answer.
After a moment of silence, she chuckled.
Did Qiao Rou think that she was still infatuated with Gu Moling?
Previously, Gu Moling was her fiance. They were about to get married, but the bride was switched to Qiao Rou.
Qiao Rou must be very happy that she snatched away the man who originally belonged to her. Qiao Rou was even about to get married to him now.
Qiao Xi suddenly said, “You and Gu Moling are getting married, so you want to invite me to your wedding?”
Qiao Rou looked down, feeling wronged. “Sister, are you unwilling? We’re sisters…”
Xu Mei had sent someone to investigate Qiao Xi. For the sake of shares, she had secretly gotten married. Qiao Rou heard that the man was just a random passerby.
Passerby? His one month’s salary was not even enough for her to buy some clothes. How could he compare to Brother Moling?
