Chapter 335: Qiao Rou Is On The Trending Topics
Mad curses entered Old Madam Qiao’s ears. She widened her eyes and cursed, “Qiao Xi, you actually dared to say those things about you and Gu Moling?”
As soon as she finished speaking, a group of reporters rushed in from the door and aimed their cameras at Qiao Rou.
“Qiao Rou is here!” someone shouted, and everyone rushed over.
“Miss Qiao Rou, did you invite your sister to the donation ceremony and wedding to show off your status?”
“As your younger sister, you seduced your elder sister’s fiance. Where’s your conscience?”
“The pure and innocent daughter of Qiao Corporation has now become a mistress everyone wants to beat up. Do you have any regrets? Or are you enjoying yourself?”
Everyone raised their cameras and bombarded Qiao Rou with questions.
Qiao Rou broke out in a cold sweat and trembled. As a celebrity, she was already used to the spotlight, but now, it was as if she had been stripped naked and thrown in front of everyone.
Qiao Rou remained silent as the reporters turned to look at Qiao Zhenguo and Old Madam Qiao.
“President Qiao, the Qiao family mistreated the first wife’s daughter and even threw Qiao Xi to the countryside. Was this Xu Mei’s intention? Is Qiao Xi really your biological daughter? As a father, why are you so heartless to your biological daughter?”
“Old Madam Qiao, since you accepted Xu Mei despite her being a mistress, does it mean that the Qiao family doesn’t care about mistresses ruining their reputation? Qiao Rou seduced her sister’s fiance. Do you know about this? Or perhaps you were the one who wanted to matchmake them?”
Faced with the reporters’ questions, Old Madam Qiao was instantly speechless.
Of course, she did not support mistresses and did not like Xu Mei too much, but Xu Mei was obedient. She was not as arrogant as Qiao Xi’s biological mother. Between the two, she naturally chose Xu Mei as her daughter-in-law.
Qiao Xi’s mother was so rich and had everything in her hands but she was unwilling to spend it on the Qiao family. She even left all the money to Qiao Xi after she died. She did not leave anything for the Qiao family at all. It was really too much!
“President Qiao, Old Madam Qiao, if you don’t answer, does it mean that you agree?”
Old Madam Qiao’s face was filled with embarrassment and anger. If it were not for the fact that there were so many reporters present, she would have rushed over and slapped Qiao Xi!
The Qiao family’s bodyguards hurriedly rushed over and chased the reporters and outsiders out. When Qiao Xi saw the Qiao family make a fool of themselves, she followed them out.
However, before she left, she saw Qiao Rou’s assistant rush in and shout, “It’s over! It’s over! The internet is filled with scandals about Miss Rou Rou. I can’t control it anymore!”
Everyone’s expression changed. They took out their phones to take a look. The dirt was indeed everywhere.
Qiao Rou was marrying her own sister’s fiance and even invited her to the wedding. She wrongly accused her sister of being a mistress. The release of this news shattered Qiao Rou’s image. For so many years, she was seen as a beautiful and gentle woman.
The number of her fans had also decreased rapidly, and there were criticisms on Weibo.
The netizens dug up all the dirt on Qiao Rou. She was violent in university and bullied other female celebrities…
Old Madam Qiao roared, “A bunch of trash! Hurry up and do public relations! Delete all these scandals!”
The assistant lowered his head and trembled. “Old Madam, it’s useless for us to do public relations now. You can shut up a few people but can you shut up the entire world?”
“You!” Old Madam Qiao was so angry that her heart ached.
Qiao Rou held her phone and widened her eyes. It felt as if her body had fallen into an ice cellar.
[Qiao Rou is the mistress.]
[Qiao Rou framed her sister, she’s a b*tch.]
[Qiao Rou’s image has collapsed!]
Several trending topics occupied the top spot. Even if the Qiao family spent a lot of money to remove the trending topics, it would only be a matter of time. One could not limit the behaviors of netizens.
Immediately after, a few endorsers called to request for their contracts to be terminated. All the products that Qiao Rou endorsed were taken off the shelves overnight. The companies released the news one after another and announced that they would terminate their contracts with Qiao Rou and never work with her again!
Qiao Rou felt dizzy and clenched her fists tightly. Her nails dug into her flesh.
“Dad, Grandma, I just wanted to invite Sister to the wedding. I had no ill intentions.. I didn’t malign Sister either. It’s all because of what Zhao Lili said…”
Chapter 336: When Things Go Too Far, They Can’t Be Turned Around
“I really don’t know how things ended up like this. It’s all my fault. I’ve let my sister down. I’m willing to die to atone for my sins. I didn’t want to implicate the Qiao family either, but my sister is so vicious. She doesn’t care about the Qiao family’s reputation at all!
Tears trickled down Qiao Rou’s face as she choked. “Today was supposed to be my donation ceremony with Brother Moling. Now, I’ve become the joke of Li City University…
“I’ve let my sister down. She can take revenge on me however she wants, but today’s a special occasion. My sister chose to expose this matter today. She didn’t even consider the Qiao family.”
Old Madam Qiao and Qiao Zhenguo were instantly infuriated when they heard this.
Rou Rou was right. It was fine if Qiao Xi wanted to take revenge on Rou Rou, but she chose to do it today.
Zhao Lili was spouting nonsense and had indeed wronged Qiao Xi.
However, today was Rou Rou and Moling’s donation ceremony. This was a good opportunity to build up their reputation, but it was all ruined by Qiao Xi.
This jinx should have been killed back then!
Old Madam Qiao burned with rage and shouted loudly at Qiao Xi, “Don’t go!”
Xue Yi frowned and was about to rush forward to argue when she was stopped by Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi turned around and asked casually, “Old Madam, don’t tell me that you still want to scold me? Could it be that I have to remain silent even if I’m being wronged?”
When she said that, Old Madam Qiao was instantly speechless. However, for the sake of her reputation, she gritted her teeth and said, “Why not? Even if you want to lose your temper, you have to look at the situation! Today is Rou Rou and Moling’s donation ceremony. After today, Rou Rou and Moling’s names will be jotted down in Li City University’s records. This is the Qiao family’s honor, but you just had to create trouble. Have you ever considered the Qiao family?”
Xue Yi retorted, “You mean that no matter how Qiao Rou slanders Xi Xi today, she has to endure it? Xi Xi is clearly the victim. She was called a mistress and her reputation was at risk but she couldn’t expose Qiao Rou?”
Old Madam Qiao was extremely angry and blurted out, “That’s right!”
Qiao Xi was angered to the point of laughing.
Old Madam Qiao roared furiously, “Rou Rou is the pride of our Qiao family. Qiao Xi is her stepping stone. The donation ceremony is about to start. Qiao Xi, if you dare cause trouble again, I’ll absolutely not let you off!”
Xue Yi was so angry that she wanted to rush up and slap this old woman. She really did not understand how Little Six could tolerate the Qiao family’s arrogance with her character.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Xi smiled meaningfully. “A donation ceremony? I heard that Gu Moling and Qiao Rou each donated 40 million yuan. This building will also be named after the two of them, right?”
Old Madam Qiao snorted. “That’s right!”
Qiao Xi smiled. “Old Madam Qiao, let me remind you not to keep talking about this 80 million. When things go too far, you can no longer turn them around. Be careful not to suffer retribution.”
At this moment, Gu Moling walked in.
His face was gloomy as he looked at Qiao Xi. He was depressed. “Xi Xi, you’ve gone too far!”
Qiao Xi glanced indifferently at him.
Gu Moling knew that he was in the wrong, so his tone was a little gentler. “Whether Qiao Rou is the mistress or not, she’s still a donor. She should accept this honor with me. Our names will forever remain in Li City University. Xi Xi, let’s end this matter here!”
Old Madam Qiao sneered. “Moling abandoned you and chose Rou Rou. He has good taste! It’s wishful thinking for you to want to destroy Rou Rou. Before long, everyone will forget this matter and only remember what Rou Rou has done!
“Even if Rou Rou can’t become a celebrity, she’ll still be a famous entrepreneur. She’ll also be a philanthropist who donated 80 million to Li City University! No one will remember that she’s a mistress. Your plan will only affect her for a while.”
Qiao Xi looked at the extremely confident Qiao family and said slowly, “As you wish.”
Being a mistress did not violate the law. It was just a violation of one’s morals. It might be fine if she was scolded for a few days, but what if she embezzled a large sum of money?
Qiao Xi turned around to leave, but Gu Moling was stunned.
Qiao Xi had changed. In the past, she only had eyes for him, but this time, she did not even bother to look at him.
Such indifference was hard for the arrogant Young Master Gu to accept.
