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..
