Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself Chapter 527 - Sorry, I’m Late

Chapter 527 Sorry, I’m Late

Moreover, the Xu family was really strange. They did not dote on their biological daughter but doted on an adopted daughter. They even belittled their biological daughter in public. What was even more shocking was that they did not know that Qiao Xi had already married President Gu.
One of the madams could not control the anger in her heart. “Madam Xu, we’re all madams of high society, but I still can’t help but complain today. Why are you so shameless?! Your daughter adores President Gu, but does he have to like her back? Even if you don’t like your biological daughter, you shouldn’t slander her reputation in public, right? Are you worthy of being a mother?
“And you don’t know, President Gu—”.
Before she could finish, a cold female voice sounded from outside the door. “Sorry, I’m late.”
Everyone widened their eyes.
They saw Qiao Xi holding Gu Zheng’s arm as they slowly walked over. Everyone simultaneously looked at the Xu family. As expected, their eyes were filled with disbelief.
Xia Yunlou’s face darkened. This little b*tch had to come back at this time!
After thinking for a moment, Xia Yunlou rushed forward and berated loudly, “So, you still knew to come back, huh?! We brought you to the banquet, but you disappeared in the blink of an eye. You even spent so much time with another man. Do you have any respect for me? Do you know what shame is?!”
These words implied that Qiao Xi and Gu Zheng had been fooling around. An hour had passed, so the two of them must have done something unspeakable. Gu Zheng’s eyes were deep. The corners of Qiao Xi’s lips curled up, then she sobbed aggrievedly. “Mom, why are you scolding me? Didn’t you ask me to please President Gu? Although the case of my brother getting people to commit murder can’t be so easily withdrawn, President Gu has already agreed not to pursue the matter. My brother can be released now.”
Qiao Xi had an innocent expression. “I thought that you would praise me for saving my brother. Unexpectedly… Boo-hoo…”
Song Shiyu shook his head helplessly. He was already mourning the Xu family in his heart.
At this moment, the expressions on their faces were very interesting. They were shocked, angry, and frightened. They could not wait to escape from the banquet hall.
The entire venue was silent as everyone’s gazes landed on Xia Yunlou.
Xu Anran glared fiercely at Qiao Xi and stared fixedly at her hand that was holding Gu Zheng’s. She wished for nothing more than to burn a hole in Qiao Xi’s hand.
Was this little b*tch worthy of standing beside President Gu?
Xu Anran had been pampered since she was young. She became an A-lister in the industry and was also a top socialite. She worked hard to become more outstanding so that she could be worthy of the most outstanding man in the world.
Originally, the Xu family had an engagement with another family, but Xu Anran did not like that useless man, so she asked her parents to look for Qiao Xi and have Qiao Xi marry that man in her place.
Her parents naturally looked down on that man’s family too, but the engagement had been set. If they went back on their word, it would be a breach of their promise. That was why they thought of their biological daughter who was stranded outside.
Xu Anran was arrogant and had high expectations for her future partner. The moment she saw Gu Zheng, she knew that this man was the Prince Charming she had been waiting for. Only he was worthy of her.
Xu Anran looked at Gu Zheng shyly and instantly blushed.
Xia Yunlou looked at Qiao Xi’s aggrieved appearance and felt depressed in her heart. She said impatiently, “You still have the cheek to ask? I did tell you to look for President Gu, but I was just testing you. I didn’t expect you to be gone for so long. I don’t know what horrible things you’ve done. You’re really embarrassing our Xu family!”
Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows and said slowly, “I see. So you wanted me to curry favor with President Gu just to test me. You didn’t really want me to plead with him.”
Xia Yunlou immediately choked.
However, since Qiao Xi had already said so, Xia Yunlou could only bite the bullet and admit it. Moreover, Qiao Xi had already said that President Gu had agreed to let Anyi off. President Gu probably would not go back on his words. She could just push all the blame to Qiao Xi. Qiao Xi would be the perfect foil to Anran’s excellence. President Gu would definitely like Anran.
Xia Yunlou gritted his teeth. “Yes, I know that your brother did something wrong. It’s reasonable for President Gu to punish him. I was just testing you. Who knew that you would take the opportunity to seduce President Gu? You even forgot about the banquet. Do you know what shame is?!”
