Chapter 341: Song Shijing Is Here
“Investiture Of The Gods? How much did Qiao Rou spend to buy this book? She’s really rich!”
“That’s not a matter of money. She did it for the sake of the country and Li City University, so there’s a reason why the Qiao family and Gu Moling like Qiao Rou more. Qiao Rou is indeed more likable than Qiao Xi.”
After the leaders of Li City University expressed their gratitude to Qiao Rou, they handed her a gold-plated trophy.
“Miss Qiao Rou, thank you very much for your donation. Li City University is proud of you! The Rou Ling Building donated by Miss Qiao and Mr. Gu is currently under construction. After that, the facilities and equipment in the building will be available for the students’ use.”
There was thunderous applause.
Hearing everyone’s praise, Qiao Rou smiled.
Yes, she was a mistress, but so what? Was it wrong for Brother Moling to like an outstanding woman?
Now, the Qiao family’s public relations team had already made it seem that Qiao Xi was too useless, so Gu Moling hated her. Qiao Rou was too outstanding, which was why everything happened the way it did.
It was wrong for Qiao Rou to be a mistress, but she had donated 40 million yuan, after all. There was nothing to criticize anymore.
When the donation ceremony was about to end, Qiao Rou picked up the microphone and smiled.
“As a student of Li City University, I’m very proud. Although I’m in the entertainment industry, I still hope to do my best to contribute to my alma mater. I’ve indeed done something wrong. I’m very sorry, but I’m even more sorry for my sister. I hope you can forgive me.”
Her burning gaze landed on Qiao Xi as she waited for her response.
Now that the entire Li City University was backing Qiao Rou, could Qiao Xi still continue to create trouble?
Qiao Xi was silent for a short while, and her expression was indifferent. “Sister, I forgive you.
“Dad is right. I’m not outstanding enough, so the entire family, including my fiance, likes you more. In the end, it’s because I’m too poor and can’t compare to you.”
Qiao Rou’s eyes were filled with delight.
Qiao Xi finally lowered her head. She finally knew that she could not compare to her!
This woman should have realized this a long time ago. She was just utterly lousy. Apart from her identity as the first wife’s daughter, she had nothing else. She should have been abandoned. She deserved it!
Qiao Rou smiled proudly. “Sister, I never thought that you were bad, but everyone likes outstanding people. I donated a building this time—”
“Miss Qiao.” At this moment, a serious voice interrupted Qiao Rou.
Song Shijing walked in slowly with documents in his hand.
He ignored everyone’s gazes. “I’m sorry, everyone. I didn’t expect the ceremony to be nearly over. I’m late.”
As Gu Zheng’s special assistant, Song Shijing represented Gu Zheng. Everyone became nervous. Gu Moling stepped forward and said respectfully, “Assistant Song, you’re here.”
Song Shijing glanced at Gu Moling coldly and sneered. “I have something to ask Miss Qiao Rou in person.”
Everyone was confused. Why was Song Shijing looking for Qiao Rou?
Could it be that Qiao Rou and Gu Zheng were related?
Qiao Rou was stunned for a moment and smiled happily.
Did President Gu send his special assistant here to praise her for her generosity? Would he look up to her or even like her?
She had donated such a large sum of money to Li City University. It was not strange for President Gu to personally thank her.
Qiao Rou glanced proudly at Qiao Xi. From today onward, she would be ranked in high society. She could completely trample on Qiao Xi then.
Gu Moling’s lips curled into a smile. It had been the right choice to choose Rou Rou.
It was an unprecedented honor for Rou Rou to be looked up to by the president. Assistant Song was even here to thank her.
However, Song Shijing’s next words left everyone dumbfounded.
“This matter is too serious, so our president came personally.”
President Gu was here?
Everyone gasped.
Old Madam Qiao also stood up excitedly. “Rou Rou is simply our family’s lucky star! She actually obtained the favor of Young Master Gu Zheng. Qiao Xi will never be able to compare to her!”
Qiao Rou smiled shyly. “Assistant Song, thank you for your appreciation. Can I invite my sister to the stage at this time?”
Song Shijing sneered in his heart. This b*tch was really bullying Young Madam all the time..
Chapter 342: Can’t Bring Trouble To My Family
Qiao Rou bit her lip. “Sister, I’ve let you down… I hope to make it up to you. All the women in Li City want to be favored by President Gu. Come on stage. Maybe President Gu likes simple women like you. Come on up, okay?”
Qiao Xi was angered to the point of laughing.
She was simple?
Qiao Rou was just trying to show off her success and trample on her. Her intentions were too obvious.
She wanted to tell everyone that although they were sisters, there was a world of difference between them. One was noble and outstanding, while the other was lowly.
Before Qiao Xi could answer, Song Shijing said, “Miss Qiao Rou, it’s alright.”
Qiao Rou smiled disdainfully. It seemed that Song Shijing looked down on Qiao Xi too.
She smiled smugly in her heart, but she looked troubled. “Assistant Song, don’t misunderstand my sister. She’s very good to me, but unfortunately—”
“I didn’t misunderstand.” Song Shijing frowned and sneered. “Miss Qiao Rou, why do you insist on letting Miss Qiao Xi go on stage?”
Qiao Rou was stunned. “This…”
“You want her to show her face in front of President Gu while he praises you?” Song Shijing asked.
Then, he curled his lips in disdain.
“But I never said that the president is here to praise you.”
“Miss Qiao Rou, it’s enough for you to be embarrassed alone. Why must you drag Miss Qiao Xi along? Do you want to drag Miss Qiao Xi along to take the blame for you?”
…
The venue was silent for a few seconds. Everyone moved away from Qiao Rou in panic.
What?
Song Shijing said that Qiao Rou had offended President Gu?
Qiao Rou’s heart skipped a beat, and her pale lips trembled slightly. “Assistant Song, did I hear wrongly? How did I offend President Gu?”
Her eyes widened abruptly. “Did my sister say something bad about me? There was indeed a misunderstanding between us, but President Gu and I—”
Song Shijing interrupted her coldly, “Do you need others to tell you what you’ve done?”
Everyone was really puzzled. Could it be that President Gu was also interfering in someone else’s family matters? Even if Qiao Rou was a mistress, this did not seem to have anything to do with President Gu!
No matter what, today was Qiao Rou’s donation ceremony. Why did President Gu have to embarrass Qiao Rou in public? Was it too much?
Old Madam Qiao and Qiao Zhenguo were trembling with fear. They hurriedly stepped forward and bowed. “Assistant Song, it must be a misunderstanding. Our Rou Rou has always been sensible. How could she have… offended President Gu?”
Song Shijing sneered. “You’re Qiao Rou’s father and grandmother? It seems that you’re both involved in this too?”
Everyone was dumbfounded. What was going on?
Qiao Zhenguo asked in fear, “May I know what Rou Rou has done? Please tell me.”
Song Shijing was silent for a while, then he sneered. “If the two of you don’t know about this, then it must be Miss Qiao’s own plan? Don’t worry, family members shouldn’t be blamed. Our president has always been fair. Whoever makes a mistake will be held responsible. You won’t be implicated in this matter.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Shijing clapped his hands and the police rushed in.
Everyone gasped. What exactly happened? President Gu even got the law-enforcement officers over?
Qiao Rou’s face was pale. She took a few steps back in fear and hid behind Gu Moling. “Brother Moling, I didn’t offend President Gu. Believe me…”
Gu Moling’s face darkened. He did not believe that such a gentle person like Rou Rou would offend a big shot like President Gu. There must be a misunderstanding.
Gu Moling took a deep breath and stood up. “Assistant Song, I’m Gu Moling from the Gu family. Qiao Rou is my fiancee. There must be a misunderstanding in this matter. Please tell us what happened, Assistant Song.”
No one could turn on their cameras wherever Gu Zheng went, but the reporters had forgotten to turn off the live-stream broadcasts. Even so, no one stopped them.
Since President Gu did not stop them, it meant that they were allowed to broadcast the scene. The reporters heaved a sigh of relief.
At this moment, a law-enforcement officer walked forward with a serious expression. “Miss Qiao Rou, you’re suspected of embezzling a large sum of money. The evidence is conclusive. Please cooperate with us for an investigation.”
The entire venue was silent for a few seconds. Everyone was dumbfounded.
What? Qiao Rou embezzled a large sum of money? It caused President Gu to personally come and question her?
