Xia Yunlou was not satisfied to have a daughter like Xi Xi, hence she actually helped Xu Anran destroy Xi Xi’s reputation. What right did such a person have to be Xi Xi’s mother?

The moment Xue Liang finished speaking, everyone looked at Xia Yunlou in shock, followed by disdain and mockery.

“Is Xia Yunlou really Miss Qiao’s biological mother? How can there be such a mother in this world? She actually used such a method to destroy her own daughter!”

“It’s all because of that scheming adopted daughter. I remember when we were at the Shen family’s banquet, Xia Yunlou said in front of everyone that her adopted daughter loves President Gu. She tried to force Miss Qiao and President Gu to divorce!”

“Huh? Such a thing happened?”

Xu Anran’s legs went weak, and she supported herself on the chair.

Gu Zheng’s expression did not change. Xue Liang sneered. “President Gu isn’t blind. How could he possibly like her?”

Xu Anran’s face turned pale, and she looked like she was about to faint.

At this point, the truth was already revealed. Xu Zhi looked up in disbelief. “Xia Yunlou!”

“No! No!”

Xia Yunlou immediately roared and defended herself. “Xi Xi is my biological daughter. How could I harm her?! You’re talking nonsense!”

Xu Zhi and Xia Yunlou had lived together for more than 20 years. He knew her character very well. Seeing that she was so nervous, he immediately confirmed Xue Liang’s words and raised his hand to slap her.

“Why are you so nervous if you didn’t do it? Do you want to ruin your daughter? I know very well that you don’t like Xi Xi, but she’s our biological daughter while Xu Anran is just an adopted daughter. You’re too ignorant!”

Smack!

Then, Xu Zhi raised his hand and gave Xu Anran a slap as well.

“Xu Anran! Back then, it was your mother who swapped you with Qiao Xi to gain benefits. You’re just a servant’s daughter. How are you qualified to fight with Qiao Xi? If it weren’t for you, my daughter wouldn’t have been left outside to suffer! Get lost! Get out of the Xu family!”

“Dad, I…”

Xu Anran sobbed silently, and Xu Anyi immediately stood up to defend her. “Dad! How can you say that about Anran? It was Qiao Xi who stole Anran’s things and even stole the man she loves! You know that Anran likes President Gu, so why won’t you help Anran? Do you know how sad Anran feels when she sees Qiao Xi and President Gu being a loving couple?”

Xu Zhi didn’t say anything, but everyone’s faces were full of contempt.

“Is Xu Anyi crazy? President Gu doesn’t even know Xu Anran. Moreover, he married Miss Qiao a long time ago. Not only does President Gu not like Xu Anran, but even if he really likes her, she’s only fit to be a mistress!”

“Young Master Xu isn’t helping his own sister but is instead helping the adopted daughter to destroy his sister’s family. He’s even questioning why Mr. Xu isn’t helping Xu Anran?”

“Haha, what kind of drug did Xu Anran feed Young Master Xu and Madam Xu? It’s as if they’ve been bewitched into helping her!”

Everyone mocked the Xu family.

Xu Zhi was extremely frustrated. He knew very well in his heart that the Xu family could not afford to offend the people behind Qiao Xi. He could only roar at the three people from the Xu family, “Get lost!”

“Dad!” Xu Anyi was indignant.

Xu Anran said tearfully, “Dad, President Gu…”

“F*ck!” Someone couldn’t help but curse. “Seducing a man in front of the legitimate wife… How shameless can she be?! Top socialite? What bullsh*t! She’s just a scheming mistress!”

Xu Anran’s body trembled.

Gu Zheng’s expression was indifferent as he looked gently at Qiao Xi who was beside him. “It’s time to cut the cake.”

Then, his eyes turned cold as he looked at Xu Zhi behind him. “Mr. Xu, I won’t let things end here just like this. I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation for all this.”

Xu Zhi felt his brain buzzing, and the blood in his body seemed to have frozen.

What sin did he commit in his past life to marry such a muddle-headed wife, give birth to an idiot like Xu Anyi, and even raise such a ruthless adopted daughter?

If he had married Yunqiu back then…

The more Xu Zhi thought about it, the more annoyed he became. “Xia Yunlou, come out with me!”

Seeing the Xu family leave, Qiao Xi ordered expressionlessly, “Close the door.”

…

Xu Zhi brought Xia Yunlou outside. He gritted his teeth and said, “Are you crazy? Xi Xi knows so many big shots. Shouldn’t you be happy? Why did you find someone to ruin her reputation?”
