Gu Zheng was silent for a few seconds before smiling meaningfully. âYouâll know whatâs going on in a while.â
Qiao Xi was puzzled.
She felt that Gu Zheng was hiding something!
Gu Zheng and Song Shiyu left the villa. They were about to leave when they heard rustling sounds in the Xu familyâs villa. Then, Xu Anran could be heard sobbing. âDad, donât be angry anymore. Itâs all my fault. Iâm occupying the identity of the eldest daughter of the Xu family, making my sister unhappy. Iâll leave now!â Then, Madam Xu stopped her in a loud voice. âNo! Anran, why are you the one leaving? Qiao Xi should be the one leaving!â
Mr. Xuâs face darkened. âAnyi hasnât been released yet. Donât provoke Qiao Xi. Itâll be
me if she changes her mind! Anran, go to the basement and suffer there for a while.â
an
âDad!â
Mr. Xu was impatient. âYou heard what Qiao Xi said. If you donât go to the basement, then that means you were deliberately targeting her by making her stay in the basement. Youâll anger her. If sheâs unhappy and goes to President Gu to complain about you, will your brother still have a chance of getting released?â
Madam Xu quickly shut up when she thought of her son who was suffering in the detention center.
Xu Anran sobbed. âAlright, I⦠Iâll move to the basement now. Dad, Mom, I really didnât do it on purpose. I⦠Iâm sorry.â
Gu Zheng turned to Song Shiyu. âDid you hear that?â
Song Shiyu looked up and hesitated for a moment before giving her a thumbs up. âYes. Young Madam, is so capable!â Gu Zheng could not help but laugh. He was really curious about why the Song brothers were so stupid when they clearly came from the same womb. Hence, he reminded him, âXu Anran is staying in the basement now. Donât you get it?â Song Shiyu reacted abruptly and was excited. âYouâre finally going to deal with Xu Anran, that scheming b*tch. President, how do you want her to die? I promise I wonât leave a trace!â
ââ¦â Gu Zheng frowned. âI told you long ago not to keep talking about fighting and killing. Can you not be so violent?!â Song Shiyu scratched his head in embarrassment. He was no longer an adjutant, and Xu Anran was not an enemy on the battlefield. He really should not kill anyone.
Then, he asked obsequiously, âPresident, what should I do?â
Gu Zheng said slowly, âEven if you canât kill, you can still set fire.â
Song Shiyu: ââ¦â
âYouâre so noble and virtuous, huh? You said that I canât fight and kill, but you want her to burn to her death!â
Xu Anran sat on the sofa in the living room and cried for a while. Then, she went to the basement pitifully. Madam Xuâs heart ached. âAn An has been pampered since she was young. I canât bear to see her suffer even a little. As soon as Xi Xi came back, she forced An An to stay in the basement⦠This child is really vicious. How could I have such a daughter?!â
Mr. Xu looked helpless.
Madam Xu was so sad that tears fell. âWhen I said that Xi Xi should stay in the basement, it was only a temporary arrangement. Our villa in Li City is not big, and there are no other empty rooms. However, as soon as we return to Luo City, Iâd arrange a new room for her. However, Xi Xi insisted on snatching Anranâs room. Sheâs too insensible!â
âSomeone! Help! Fire!â
Before Madam Xu could finish, the servants screamed in horror.
At this moment, Qiao Xi was watching a TV show upstairs when she heard a commotion coming from downstairs.
Fire?
If she did not hear wrongly, Xu Anranâs room was on fire. No wonder Gu Zheng said that they would not look for trouble with her. It turned out that he had found something for the Xu family to busy themselves with.
Qiao Xi smiled lightly and walked downstairs with her head held high.
In the living room, Xu Anran was crying in Madam Xuâs arms.
The servants hid in the corner and discussed softly. âThis is retribution. Who asked her to target the real daughter of the Xu family? Thatâs why people canât do bad things.â
The butler quickly berated, âShut up!â
Although he did not allow everyone to discuss this matter, he agreed with the servantsâ words. How did the basement catch on fire for no reason?
Moreover, the other rooms were not affected. It was just Xu Anranâs room. This might really be retribution. âWhat are you doing here? Are you here to see your sister make a fool of herself?! You donât even care about your sister!â Madam Xu berated.
