âI hereby announce that the champion of the violin competition from three years ago is revoked! No one won that competition!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Morper announced loudly. Actually, in his heart, Qiao Xi was undoubtedly the champion. It was just that Qiao Xi might not care anymore.
Zhao Qinghuiâs legs went weak, and he almost fell to the floor. He had to support himself on the chair to steady himself. His eyes were filled with defeat.
Yao Mengqing widened her eyes in horror. She was about to explain when she saw the disdainful gazes of everyone. She could only suppress her anger and lower her head.
âQiao Xi! I wonât let you off!
âOne day, Iâll return all the pain and humiliation you gave me. Iâll let you have a taste of it!â
The Li family came forward to mediate the situation. âSomeone! Help Mr. Zhao to the lounge. The banquet will continue.â
â¦
The banquet was very lively. No one mentioned the incident just now. Everyone had a tacit understanding that mentioning this matter would undoubtedly humiliate Yao Mengqing even further and make the Li family feel disgusted.
Li Xingâer pulled her sister to the side and complained, âHow shameless! I really want to chase Yao Mengqing out! Is she really a daughter of a rich family? Which noble daughter could do such despicable things?â
The younger sister blinked and said in a low voice, âLook, Yao Mengqing is going to create trouble again!â
Li Xingâer turned around and saw Yao Mengqing holding a wine glass. She was walking toward Qiao Xi with a group of people.
âMiss Qiao, Iâm very sorry. I really didnât know that Zhao Qinghui deliberately made the decision to eliminate you. If you had participated in the competition back then, this championship wouldâve been yours! Iâm indeed not worthy!â
Yao Mengqing raised her glass with a gentle expression. âMiss Qiao, this glass of wine is my apology. Can you⦠forgive me?â
Madam Yao chimed in, âMiss Qiao, Mengqing didnât know anything. It was all Zhao Qinghuiâs doing!â
Lin Weiwei also said, âSister Mengqing and President Gu are good friends! If you donât forgive her, wonât you be making things difficult for President Gu too? Itâs not a big deal anyway. Itâs just a matter of words.â
Li Xingâer was angry. These people were shameless. Even if Yao Mengqing, this b*tch, was apologizing, why should Qiao Xi forgive her? Moreover, everyone knew what was going on. Zhao Qinghui would not have done it for no reason. He must have done it for Yao Mengqing.
Wasnât it too late to pretend to be innocent now?
Seeing that Qiao Xi did not reply after a long time, Yao Mengqingâs eyes instantly welled up with tears as she choked. âXi Xi⦠If youâre unwilling to forgive me, I wonât blame you. Boo-hooâ¦â
âQiao Xi! Youâre too heartless! Itâs already been three years, yet youâre still unwilling to let this go! Sister Mengqing has already apologized to you. What else do you want? Canât you tell that sheâs very guilty now? This isnât her fault at all. What else do you want?â
Yao Mengqing hurriedly stopped her. âWei Wei, donât say anymore. Itâs normal for Miss Qiao to be dissatisfied. Itâs my fault. I shouldnât have fought for the championship. If I knew that Xi Xi was also participating in the competition, I wouldnât have hesitated to give the championship to her.â
âYou want to beg Xi Xi for forgiveness?â
At this moment, a cold voice sounded.
Gu Zheng leaned lazily on the sofa and swept his cold gaze across the crowd.
His eyes were deep as he gently took a sip of red wine. His lips were also stained with some red.
Gu Zheng sneered. âShouldnât you show some sincerity if you want Xi Xi to forgive you? Yao Mengqing, what should you call Xi Xi?â
Everyone was puzzled. Yao Mengqing had just called Qiao Xi âMiss Qiaoâ and also called her âXi Xiâ intimately. Could it be that there were other titles?
Gu Zheng said slowly, âSince you know that weâre married, shouldnât you call her Mrs. Gu?â
Yao Mengqingâs heart stopped.
Li Xingâer smiled. âYes! Yao Mengqing, you know that President Gu and Mrs. Gu are married, but you keep calling her Miss Qiao instead of Mrs. Gu.
âYou keep saying that youâre President Guâs good friend, but you keep calling her âMiss Qiaoâ. Are you doing this on purpose?
âDo you think we wonât know that youâre not acknowledging Mrs. Guâs identity? Thatâs too laughable!â
