Yao Mengqing was embarrassed and forced a smile. “Ah Zheng, don’t misunderstand. Everyone’s watching. Don’t make things worse…
“My cousin and Weiwei are both famous figures in Li City, so it’s better to treat them nicer. Otherwise, outsiders will say that Xi Xi refuses to let them off and this will affect Xi Xi’s reputation.”
Gu Zheng’s expression was slightly cold.
Qiao Xi was angered to the point of laughing. This woman really knew how to twist her words!
Jin Weiwei was the one who knocked into her and demanded an apology!
Then, the adulterous couple rushed up to her and called her a mistress!
Now, Yao Mengqing still had the cheek to say that she was being unreasonable?
How could she be so shameless?
Had Yao Mengqing become the good person while she became the bad person?
Qiao Xi’s hot temper could not help but flare up. “Miss Yao…”
“Sister Mengqing.”
Unexpectedly, Gu Yao spoke first.
A trace of disappointment flashed through his eyes. “Sister Mengqing, it was Jin Weiwei who bumped into Xi Xi first. She even said that Xi Xi was a mistress, and then Chen Chi forced Xi Xi to apologize. What right do you have to make Xi Xi forgive them?
“If you don’t know anything, don’t poke your nose into it!”
In Gu Yao’s eyes, Yao Mengqing had always been gentle and kind. This time, although she was pretending to be gentle on the surface, she was actually forcing Qiao Xi to forgive her every word.
Yao Mengqing gritted her teeth in anger.
Why did Gu Yao start speaking up for Qiao Xi?
Why couldn’t she poke her nose in this?
Seeing that Yao Mengqing was silent, Gu Yao smiled bitterly. “Sister Mengqing, since you have nothing to say, it proves that I’m right.”
Yao Mengqing raised her eyes and looked at Gu Zheng and Gu Yao’s cold expressions. She could not help but tremble as her heart felt heavy. She walked forward and said softly, “Ah Yao, you’ve misunderstood… I was just a little anxious. Chen Chi is my cousin. I know him well. When I saw him and Wei Wei kneeling on the floor, my heart ached for them.
“I shouldn’t have been so rash. I should’ve known better.”
Yao Mengqing lowered her eyes as a few tears fell.
She looked innocent, but there was no pity in Gu Yao’s eyes anymore.
Gu Zheng asked slowly, “Chen Chi is also a famous figure in Li City? It won’t be good for Qiao Xi’s reputation if news of this gets out?”
When Yao Mengqing heard Gu Zheng speak, her eyes instantly lit up. She pretended to be aggrieved. “Ah Zheng, it’s my fault. I didn’t understand the situation and begged Miss Qiao for forgiveness, but I did it for everyone…”
“The Chen and Yao families are really powerful, huh?! They’re actually big shots in Li City, huh?!”
Gu Zheng said sarcastically. Yao Mengqing and Chen Chi’s faces turned ashen.
Yao Mengqing trembled.
She did not understand why Gu Zheng would do this to her.
Ah Zheng did not like Qiao Xi at all. Otherwise, why would he not hold a wedding with her? Moreover, there was no official announcement of their marriage.
This meant that Ah Zheng did not care about Qiao Xi. Since he did not, then why was he doing this to her and her cousin because of Qiao Xi?
At this moment, Chen Chi already knew that if he did not apologize, he would definitely not be able to walk out of this door.
Hence, he pulled Jin Weiwei to kneel in front of Gu Zheng. “Apologize now!”
Jin Weiwei widened her eyes. Anger and shame mixed in her heart, and she did not say anything for a long time.
“B*tch! I told you to apologize! You’ve offended Mrs. Gu. Quickly admit your mistake!”
If President Gu blamed the Chen and Yao families for this, he would be in big trouble. Hence, he could only push the blame to Jin Weiwei.
Qiao Xi naturally saw through Chen Chi’s thoughts. If he wanted Jin Weiwei to take the blame, he and Yao Mengqing could stay out of it.
How could things be so easy in this world?
At this moment, Gu Yao spoke again, “Chen Chi, answer me honestly. Did you know that Qiao Xi had already married my brother, or did you only think that she was my brother’s mistress?”
Yao Mengqing was shocked when she heard that.
Gu Yao’s expression was serious. “Don’t tell me you didn’t know. If you didn’t know Qiao Xi, how would you know that she’s my brother’s woman? Outsiders don’t know about my brother’s marriage at all, much less that the woman beside him is Qiao Xi!
“There’s only one possibility. Someone else told you that and the person who told you is Sister Meng Qing!”
