Qiao Xi curled her lips and said mercilessly, âI didnât agree to marry Young Master Zhong. All of this was privately decided by you guys. It has nothing to do with me.â
âNonsense!â Old Madam Qiao raised her walking cane and slammed it on the floor as she berated with a gloomy expression.
âQiao Xi, who allowed you to speak like this?! You have no right to speak when there are so many elders here! Youâre already marrying into the Zhong family, yet you still dare to refuse?â
Old Madam Qiao walked in front of her and lowered her voice. âQiao Xi, youâve already been abandoned by Moling. Who in Li City is still willing to marry you? I told you not to tell anyone about Moling and your past, but you refused to listen. Now that youâve reaped the consequences, not only will you not be able to marry anyone, but youâll also ruin the Qiao familyâs reputation!
âYoung Master Zhong doesnât care about your past. Itâs your blessing that heâs willing to marry you. If you marry him, youâll be the legitimate young madam of the Zhong family. Youâll also bring benefits to the Qiao family. This is killing two birds with one stone! In short, weâve already accepted the Zhong familyâs betrothal gifts. You canât go back on this arrangement! You have to marry him!â
Qiao Rou gently advised. âSister, just agree. Grandma is doing this for your own good. Moreover, the Qiao family is already in a difficult situation. As a member of the Qiao family, you should help.â
Qiao Xi had always known that the Qiao family was shameless, but she never expected this group of people to be shameless to this extent. Their skin was thicker than city walls. Even a machine gun wouldnât be able to penetrate it.
They wanted her to marry Young Master Zhong in exchange for money. Qiao Rou would take her money to manage the company and lead carefree lives with Gu Moling?
Was the Qiao family crazy, or was she crazy?
Xu Meiâs relatives covered their mouths and laughed when they saw Qiao Xi remaining silent.
âQiao Xi was so arrogant before and even went against Rou Rou. She must be dumbfounded now. It was good for her when she used to be alone and free, but now, sheâs being forced to marry Young Master Zhong.â âWhat a pity! Who asked her to not have a mother?! Her deceased mother had a hard life too. Whatâs the point of amassing such a huge amount of wealth? In the end, her daughter canât even enjoy her life. Itâs all because Rou Rou and Xu Mei are the ones controlling the Qiao family.â
âQiao Xi is the eldest daughter of the Qiao family on the surface, but sheâs actually destined to be sacrificed. Marrying Zhong Ming to be the young madam just sounds nice on the surface, but I heard that⦠Zhong Ming is a pervert who likes to torture women. Heâs already been married twice, and both times, he tortured those women to no end. Look at his appearance. Youâll have nightmares if you take another look!â âHaha! That b*tch, Qiao Xi, deserves to marry a man like Zhong Ming. Perhaps she can live a few more years if she serves him well!⦠Ah!â
Qiao Xi flicked her wrist and threw out some silver needles. The few of them could not help but let out a sharp cry, but she had an indifferent expression. âAre you sure you want me to marry him?â
âYou have to marry him!â
âUnfortunately⦠Iâm already married!â
Qiao Xi said casually, âEven if you didnât read many books, you should know the law. Iâm already married. If I get married again, wonât I be committing the crime of bigamy? For the sake of the company, youâre forcing a married woman like me to marry Zhong Ming. Is that appropriate? Old Madam Qiao, President Qiao, if you insist on doing this, why donât we meet in court? Weâll see who loses in the end!â
Everyone fell silent.
What? Qiao Xi was married? Since she was already married, why was the Qiao family forcing her to marry Young Master Zhong? They were too shameless!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Qiao Xiâs gaze was icy-cold. âQiao Rou, you want me to marry Young Master Zhong, right?â
The Qiao family was extremely guilty. Everyone instantly understood that it was actually Qiao Rou who suggested Qiao Xi marry Young Master Zhong.
Although they were all relatives and friends of the Qiao family, they could not help but complain in their hearts. Qiao Rou, an illegitimate daughter, had snatched Qiao Xiâs father, her fiance, and her company.
Now, she was still unwilling to let Qiao Xi off and wanted to marry her to that beast, Zhong Ming. She wanted to use her to the end.
Qiao Rou could clearly feel everyoneâs burning gazes on her. Her face instantly turned pale as her body trembled nervously. âI⦠I didnâtâ¦â Immediately after, she squeezed out a few tears and cried aggrievedly. âSister, donât⦠misunderstand me. I know⦠Iâve let you down. You were Brother Molingâs fiancee in the past. After you were abandoned, I heard that you married a random passerby in a fit of anger. I⦠Boo-hooâ¦â
