attention to the Xu family.
Hearing the mockery around her, Xia Yunlou gritted her teeth. She thought that when Anran became Mrs. Gu, she would make everyone kneel in front of her and apologize!
The Shen family had already arranged rooms for the guests to rest. After night fell, the guests all returned to their rooms to rest.
Xia Yunlou hurriedly sent someone to get Qiao Xi. After a long time, Qiao Xi walked over with sleepy eyes.
“Why are you so slow?! Do I not even have the right to call you over?” Xia Yunlou said angrily.
Qiao Xi said slowly, “Madam Xu, I was sleeping, alright? I had to change.”
“Why did you bother changing? You should’ve come over as soon as I told you to!”
Qiao Xi was helpless. “It’s already so late. Ah Zheng and I were already asleep. I was wearing pajamas. Of course, I had to change before coming out. Could it be that you think I should come out the moment you called me? It doesn’t matter even if I was wearing pajamas?”
Xia Yunlou could not retort. She gritted her teeth and said, “You still have the cheek to say that? You came to the banquet with us, but you’re not staying in the same room as us. Instead, you went to sleep with President Gu? How can you be so shameless?!”
Qiao Xi was angered to the point of laughing when she heard this.
“Gu Zheng is my husband. Can’t we sleep together? Don’t Madam Xu and Mr. Xu sleep together, then? Do you two sleep in separate beds?”
The corners of Xia Yunlou’s mouth twitched slightly. “What are you talking about? Look at your shameless appearance. You’re really not presentable!”
Qiao Xi sneered. “I’m not presentable? Gu Zheng and I are legally married. Is it shameless for us to sleep together? What about the two of
you?”
“Sister, don’t make Mom angry. She’s doing this for your own good,” Xu Anran said gently. “You secretly went to sleep with President Gu and didn’t tell us. We’ve been waiting for you. We were afraid that you would be in danger!”
Xia Yunlou suppressed her anger. She could not fall out with Qiao Xi yet. No matter what, if she wanted to safely climb to the top, she had to rely on Qiao Xi. Her tone softened. “Xi Xi, I’m really doing this for your own good. Don’t be stubborn.”
Qiao Xi sat on the chair and poured a cup of tea. She took a sip and asked slowly, “What do you want?”
“I’m your biological mother. Why would I harm you? That’s why I have something to say to you.”
Qiao Xi sneered in her heart. Xia Yunlou was shameless enough to say that she was her biological mother?
Xia Yunlou said gently, “President Gu is rich, powerful, and has top-notch looks. He must have high expectations for his partner. There are countless women who want to marry him. Why did he choose you? “I don’t know what method you used to get President Gu to agree to marry you, but a marriage without feelings is impossible to maintain. You grew up in the countryside and don’t have any culture or temperament. You’re also not a daughter of a noble family. How can you be worthy of a man like President Gu?
“I think President Gu might have gotten married to you because of the novelty of it. However, when you’re old or a better-looking woman appears by his side, you’ll be abandoned. Instead of being abandoned in the future, why don’t you divorce President Gu before anything happens?”
Outside the door, Song Shiyu shuddered when he heard that and felt a chill run down his spine.
Gu Zheng stood behind him, exuding a cold murderous aura.
Qiao Xi drank a few mouthfuls of tea to moisten her throat and nodded meaningfully. “Madam Xu, you’re right. I can get a divorce, but you have to ask President Gu if he agrees. After all, a divorce is not a small matter. If I divorce him, who will be Mrs. Gu?”
Xia Yunlou instantly beamed. “You don’t have to worry about that. As long as you take the initiative to ask for a divorce, a proud man like President Gu probably won’t keep you.”
As long as Qiao Xi lost Gu Zheng’s protection, she would be an ordinary wild girl. How could she compete with Anran?! “But, Madam Xu, why should I get a divorce?” Qiao Xi slowly raised her eyes, and her eyes were filled with coldness. “You already said that Gu Zheng is outstanding, and I also think my husband is very outstanding. He has money and is willing to spend it on me. He can even support me. Most importantly, he’s handsome. What reason do I have to divorce him?”
