Xu Mei hurriedly stopped them. âForget it, donât say anymore. It doesnât matter what Xi Xi thinks, so all of you donât have to blame her anymore.â
âOnly Madam Xu can take it lying down. Sheâs too kind!â
âIf it werenât for the fear that Qiao Xi would be sad, it would be impossible for her to not hold a wedding for so many years. This Eldest Miss Qiao is too willful!â
Xu Mei was overjoyed when she heard everyoneâs criticisms. Although she had not seen Qiao Xi and President Qian getting intimate with each other with her own eyes, this incident still gave Qiao Xi the reputation of being willful, naughty, and callous.
Her acting was not in vain.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
She smiled bitterly. âEveryone, disperse. Hurry up and attend the banquet. We canât delay President Qinâs work because of our Qiao familyâs private matters.â
âMadam Xu.â
Meanwhile, Qiao Xi, who was being criticized by everyone, spoke slowly.
Her eyes were cold. âIâm sorry, but this matter wonât end so easily.â
Xu Mei had an innocent look on her face. âXi Xi, what exactly do you want?â
âYouâre right. Actually, President Qian was indeed in this suite before this.â
Qiao Xiâs words surprised everyone. She said slowly, âPresident Qian said that my parents sold me to him!â
Qiao Zhenguo: â!!â
Everyone was dumbfounded. What was going on?
In that case, President Qianâs secretary was not lying?
Qiao Xi continued, âAfter that, Young Master Gu, Young Master Zhou, and Miss Qin rushed over to save me. Only then did I escape. Dad, did you sell me to President Qian?â
Qiao Zhenguo abruptly looked up and found everyoneâs disgusted gazes on him.
âXi Xi, donât listen to President Qianâs nonsense. Iâm your biological father. How could I sell you to him? He must have found a random reason!â
âAh! You must be right.â Qiao Xi had a helpless expression.
âBut how did President Qian know that I was here? He even had the card to this suite. Who on earth gave him one?
âAnd Iâm here to attend the banquet. Dad and Madam Xu, you guys said that the banquet wouldnât be starting for a long time, so you pulled me upstairs to rest. Thatâs why I was waiting here.
âHowever, the moment I entered, the room was locked. After a while, President Qian pushed the door open and came in. He even wanted to do something to me. So after I was saved, I went to investigateâ¦â
Xu Mei instantly became nervous when she heard Qiao Xiâs words.
She hurriedly interrupted Qiao Xi and said agitatedly, âXi Xi, I saw that you were a little weak earlier, so I asked you to go upstairs and restâ¦â
She shifted her eyes. âYou must have accidentally lost your room card. President Qian happened to pick it up and followed you in.â
Qiao Xi neither agreed nor disagreed. âYou may be right, butâ¦â
She dragged her last word and glanced at Xu Mei coldly. It was too fun to see her nervous and guilty expression.
âMadam Xu, have you forgotten that you booked this suite?!â
Xu Meiâs face turned pale!
âYou brought me here, gave President Qian a room card, and brought everyone here to catch us in the act. How exciting, huh?â
Clap! Clap!
Qiao Xi slowly clapped.
Xu Meiâs expression was extremely ugly.
Zhou Guanjin sneered. âSo the person who booked the suite is Madam Xu!â
âXi Xi was brought to the room by Madam Xu and President Qiao before she was locked up. Even the cameras have captured it. Later, President Qian took the room card and came to this suite. Itâs really puzzling!â
Qiao Xi said aggrievedly, âMadam Xu, you said that this has nothing to do with you, but why did you force me to go upstairs? President Qian happened to come in soon after that. Isnât this too much of a coincidenceâ¦
âDid you sell me to President Qian and use me to exchange for his resources? Did you want me to get lost from the Qiao family forever so that I wonât appear in front of you and your daughter again?â
Xu Meiâs face was pale. She was so nervous that her entire body was trembling.
Qiao Xi was talking nonsense!
She was slandering her stepmother by saying these things in public!
Everyone looked at Xu Mei suspiciously. She lowered her head guiltily.
âStop talking!â
Qiao Zhenguo spoke abruptly, his expression terrifyingly dark.
âYouâre my daughter! How could Xu Mei and I do such a thing? This is the end of the matter.. Itâs fine that youâve wronged Xu Mei, but donât let our Qiao familyâs private matters interfere with the banquet.â
