“I spent a lot of money raising you. I couldn’t bear the burden alone, so… I spent a portion of your mother’s dowry on you. If you want all of it back, I really can’t do it!” Qiao Zhenguo tried his best to persuade her. “Xi Xi, actually, I’ve always had high hopes for you all these years. I know you hate Xu Mei and Rou Rou. That’s why I haven’t let Xu Mei formally join the Qiao family. It’s just that this is Rou Rou’s engagement banquet, so I let her come back. However, you fell out with the Qiao family over such a small matter. How can I hand the Qiao family to you?
“Xi Xi, I’m your father. Although we’ve had some misunderstandings, you’ll always be my daughter. You can’t… quarrel with your family like this. It won’t be good for your reputation either. Tell me…”
At this moment, footsteps came from outside. Gu Zheng slowly looked up. “Mr. Qin, Madam Qin, please come in.”
Qiao Xi was stunned for a few seconds before abruptly turning around.
At this moment, an elegant noblewoman and her husband were standing at the door. The two of them were dressed exquisitely with faint smiles on their lips. Under everyone’s gazes, they slowly walked in. Qin Xian swept his gaze around and looked gently at Qiao Xi. Then, he walked in front of Gu Zheng and nodded slightly. The two of them greeted each other.
Madam Qin, who was beside him, was dressed fashionably. She had supple skin and a proud figure. She wore a sparkling sapphire necklace on her neck and exuded the charm of a mature woman. If one did not say it, who would know that she was Qin An’s mother?
Madam Qin’s aura was fully released. Her red lips moved slightly. “President Qiao, the two of us are here today to tell you that Xi Xi’s family isn’t the Qiao family!”
Qiao Xi was slightly surprised and hurriedly walked over to Gu Zheng’s side. She lowered her voice and asked, “You reached out to them?”
Madam Qin raised her head arrogantly and glanced at the Qiao family coldly. Then, she sneered. “President Qiao, I heard you outside the door just now. You said that you used Madam Xia’s assets to raise Xi Xi. That’s reasonable. After all, Qiao Xi isn’t your only daughter. Madam Xia should pay a portion of the child support fees, but are you sure you really spent your money on Qiao Xi?” Gu Zheng turned his head and said in Qiao Xi’s ear, “I was the one who asked them to support you. Are you surprised?”
DI
Qiao Xi hurriedly nodded. This was truly a pleasant surprise! “You said that the Qiao family’s business isn’t doing well, so how did Xu Mei have the spare money to buy jewelry? I heard that Madam Xu spent more than ten million yuan in a jewelry store once. Who exactly does this money belong to? I think everyone knows it very well.”
Qiao Zhenguo’s face instantly turned livid. “You… Who are you? What does my conversation with my daughter have to do with
you?”
Madam Qin ignored him and walked up to Xu Mei. She raised her hand and slapped her hard, then tore off a necklace from her neck.
“Everyone, take a good look. This necklace is HT’s new model. It’s a custom-made piece. The price is about ten million yuan. Madam Xu seems to have bought more than this. “President Qiao, you said that you spent a lot of money to raise Xi Xi, but from what I know, you didn’t raise Xi Xi at all. The Qiao family abandoned her in the countryside and let her fend for herself. They even let an illegitimate daughter occupy her identity and assets. Now, they even want to give Madam Xia’s dowry to an illegitimate daughter. Do you think we’re all stupid?”
Qiao Xi ran over to Madam Qin and shouted happily, “Godmother! Godfather!”
“My good daughter!” Madam Qin raised her eyebrows and looked at Qiao Zhenguo with disdain. “I’m sorry, President Qiao. Qiao Xi is my daughter. You’re not worthy of being her father! You took Xi Xi’s assets and raised your mistress and illegitimate daughter. How dare you bargain here? Hurry up and return the dowry to Xi Xi!”
As soon as she finished speaking, she walked in front of Qiao Zhenguo with anger radiating from all over her body and rolled her eyes. “President Qiao, you dote on your illegitimate daughter but mistreat the daughter of the legitimate wife. You even let Qiao Rou malign Xi Xi. Is this how you are as a father?”
“And Old Madam Qiao, you forced Xi Xi to break up with Gu Moling for the sake of an illegitimate daughter. You didn’t care at all that Xi Xi and Gu Moling were engaged a long time ago. Why should Xi Xi give in? As Xi Xi’s grandmother, you’re biased toward an illegitimate daughter. Are you worthy to be Xi Xi’s grandmother?”
