Xu Anran lowered her head and thought about how to completely ruin Qiao Xi’s reputation.

This time, she wanted Qiao Xi to be hated by everyone. It would be best if she was immediately abandoned by Gu Zheng and no one would fight with her for the identity of the Xu family’s eldest young miss.

Xu Anran had sinister thoughts. She wanted to trample Qiao Xi under her feet. She wanted Qiao Xi to know the consequences of offending her.

Just as she was immersed in her joy, she heard the people around her exclaim.

Xu Anran suddenly looked up, her face pale.

A video appeared on the big screen. It showed the Xu family’s villa. The person filming was hiding in the bushes, but the video was very clear. Every word was heard clearly.

Wen Xi said, “I have an idea that can ruin Qiao Xi’s reputation!”

Xu Zidie said, “Let’s find a random man and say that he’s Qiao Xi’s lover! We’ll say… that she got pregnant and had an abortion at the age of 16. She got together with that ugly man at such a young age. I want to see how she can still enter the Xu family then.”

“Is this method reliable? Will that man betray us?”

“What’s there to be afraid of? As long as we give him a sum of money, there’s nothing he won’t do for us. Once this matter is exposed, I want to see what Qiao Xi will do! Anran, don’t worry. From now on, no one will fight with you. The identity as the eldest daughter of the Xu family will always belong to you.”

Xu Anran said, “This… Isn’t this too much? I’ve never thought of hurting her, but if doing so can make her listen to our parents obediently and not make them angry, it’s worth it.”

Xu Anyi said, “Heh, let’s see if she’ll still dare to go against you after this!”

After the recording ended, the entire banquet hall fell into dead silence.

The Xu and Wen families were livid.

The others didn’t dare to open their mouths. After all, that was the young master of the Xu family, Xu Anyi, and the young miss of the Xu family, Xu Anran. Moreover, Wen Xi and Xu Zidie were both members of the Xu family as well. This was their family matter. However, no one had imagined that the four of them would actually conspire to ruin Qiao Xi.

No matter what, Qiao Xi was Xu Anyi’s younger sister. Even if he didn’t have any feelings for her, they were still related by blood. Xu Anyi should know that if their plan was successful, Qiao Xi would forever carry this stain and be affected for life.

After a while, the crowd began to whisper among themselves.

“The Lu and Wen families have such terrible upbringing!”

“Xu Anran, why were you pretending?! You were clearly trying to get someone else to do your dirty work, yet you still spoke so pompously as though you had nothing to do with this!”

“Xu Anyi is even worse. He framed his own sister for an outsider. He must be retarded!”

“Actually, Xu Anran is the most scheming one among these people. She’s clearly the one who wants to deal with Qiao Xi, yet she used others to do the job for her. Even if the matter was exposed, she could say that it had nothing to do with her! Mr. Xu, there are some things that I’ll be frank about. If you still keep this adopted daughter of yours at home, sooner or later, your Xu family will be turned upside down by her. Your biological daughter will also sever all ties with the Xu family!”

“I really don’t understand. It’s fine if the Xu family is biased toward Xu Anran, but Qiao Xi is their biological daughter, after all. They can’t help their adopted daughter bully their biological daughter! Moreover, Qiao Xi isn’t inferior to Xu Anran at all. She’s the champion of the International Real-time Translation Competition!”

“She’s so powerful! The Xu family doesn’t dote on their outstanding biological daughter but dotes on a scheming adopted daughter. They must be blind!”

“I heard that Miss Qiao suffered in the Qiao family when she was young and was chased to the countryside by her stepmother. Now that she has finally returned to her biological parents’ side, she’s still being schemed against by the adopted daughter and her biological brother. How pitiful.”

“I think this matter isn’t just related to the adopted daughter. Didn’t you hear what Xia Yunlou said earlier? She doesn’t seem to like Qiao Xi either!”

Xia Yunlou’s heart skipped a beat.

Xue Liang smiled. “Madam Xu, does this incident have anything to do with you?”

“I—”

Xue Liang’s eyes suddenly turned cold. “Mr. Xu instructed the bodyguards to drag this man away just now, but you were the one who stopped him. You were also the first one who confirmed Xi Xi’s relationship with this man without any evidence and just based on this man’s one-sided statement. Even if you say that this has nothing to do with you, who will believe you?”

Actually, even if this matter had nothing to do with Xia Yunlou, Xue Liang would still make this matter be related to her.
