Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Qiao Zhenguo’s expression was gloomy. Qiao Xi had clearly called these three people over to make him look bad.

He thought that it would end like this, but Zhou Guanjin suddenly stood up. “Wait! President Qiao, don’t leave yet!”

“This matter won’t end so easily!”

Everyone gasped.

Zhou Guanjin’s expression was serious. “I just heard President Qiao, Madam Qiao, and Miss Qiao Rou say that Qiao Xi did something shameful. They say that her reputation is bad and she has ruined the Qiao family’s image. Is the Qiao family worthy of having Qiao Xi ruin your image?”

Qiao Zhenguo’s face was livid, and his body was trembling slightly.

Zhou Guanjin’s voice was cold. “Qiao Xi was only playing cards with us yet she got scolded. Since that’s the case, we naturally won’t feel good about it. Am I wrong, President Qiao?”

Qin Shuwan sneered. “Why don’t you guys just say that I’m Qiao Xi’s sugar mommy?”

Qiao Zhenguo broke out in a cold sweat. “Y-You’ve misunderstood. I only listened to others…”

“In other words, all of you suspect that Qiao Xi is being kept by someone and went upstairs to get a room with that guy?”

Zhou Guanjin smiled sinisterly, then looked at Qiao Xi. “Xi Xi, you’re the Qiao family’s eldest daughter! A mistress is about to climb all over your head and she even brought people here to catch you in the act! She’s so anxious to frame you. Madam Xu sure has good tricks!”

Qiao Xi lowered her eyes, her face filled with grievances. “Sigh, I can’t do anything about it. Dad only has eyes for Aunt and Sister. I thought that everything would be fine after I left home, but I never expected that they would still not let me off!”

Xu Mei and Qiao Rou widened their eyes with a trace of ruthlessness.

Qiao Zhenguo’s mind was blank. He did not dare to retort Zhou Guanjin and could only listen obediently.

However, he could not allow Qiao Xi to exaggerate the situation!

Qiao Zhenguo watched his wife and daughter silently cry. He was instantly infuriated. “Qiao Xi! I misunderstood you this time, but this matter has nothing to do with your aunt and sister. How can you say that? They didn’t believe that you would do such a thing!”

Qiao Xi sneered in her heart. “Oh?”

Qiao Zhenguo suppressed his anger. “Young Master Zhou, Young Master Gu, Miss Qin, it was actually President Qian’s secretary who misled us. That’s why I said I wanted to sever ties with Xi Xi.

“Earlier, Xu Mei and Rou Rou had been speaking up for Xi Xi. Xu Mei even begged for leniency for Xi Xi, but she slandered Xu Mei. Everyone says that it’s difficult to be a stepmother. That’s indeed the case. Xu Mei has done so much for her, but she doesn’t know how to be grateful at all. She even slandered her stepmother! She’s really vicious!”

Qin An was speechless.

Qiao Zhenguo was really good at distorting the facts.

In his eyes, no matter how much Little Six had been bullied and slandered, she should just let the matter rest. If she said anything, it would mean that she did not know how to be grateful.

Xu Mei sobbed. “Xi Xi, I know you hate me. I understand, but I…

“Haven’t I been good enough to you? In order not to make you sad, I never held a wedding with your father. Rou Rou has been called an illegitimate daughter since she was young. Whenever there’s anything good in the family, she always thinks of you. Rou Rou can only pick up your leftovers. Rou Rou and I are like your servants. We serve you tea, respect you, and love you, but you’re still not satisfied!

“I really didn’t do this. It was President Qian’s secretary who said that he saw you getting a room with President Qian. I even said that you wouldn’t do such a thing, but… You actually think that I’ve wronged you! Boo-hoo… I really can’t clear my name!”

Just then, President Qian’s secretary was escorted over by the bodyguards. His face was pale from fear. “I saw Miss Qiao and President Qian get a room together with my own eyes. What I said… is true. It was not… instructed by Madam Xu.”

Xu Mei sighed. “Xi Xi, now you know. This has nothing to do with me.

“If you think that I’m framing you, I have nothing to say. I’m used to you holding a grudge against me…”

Qiao Rou, who was at the side, cried out in grievance.

Everyone tried to persuade Qiao Xi. “Miss Qiao, it’s just a misunderstanding. It has nothing to do with Madam Qiao.”

“You can’t malign her just because she’s your stepmother!”
