“Are you going to do it or not?! Why are you wasting your breath?!” Gu Zheng roared impatiently. Clearly, he no longer had the patience.

Xu Anran was shocked. She raised her trembling hand and took off her jacket. She sat on the sofa and stroked her hair shyly. She also unbuttoned one of the buttons on her chest.

Just then, Gu Zheng suddenly made a call. “Song Shiyu, send the cleaning tools over. In order to apologize, Miss Xu insisted on cleaning the office. Didn’t I make myself clear? She wants to clean the place!”

Xu Anran’s hand, which was about to take off her clothes, froze as she looked at him in disbelief.

Wait! When did she say she wanted to clean?

Gu Zheng slowly looked up, his eyes filled with mockery. The corners of his mouth curled up in disdain. “Miss Xu, you’re indeed very sincere. You’re willing to do anything for the sake of apologizing. Coincidentally, the top floor needs to be cleaned. Please clean all the offices on this floor. You have to ensure that you do a good job. I’ll have my assistant check your work later.”

Xu Anran sat on the sofa seductively. She was stunned for a few seconds before realizing what Gu Zheng meant. He was asking her to clean the offices?

She looked down at her half-naked body. A strong sense of shame welled up in her.

Was there something wrong with Gu Zheng’s brain?! She, a beauty, had already delivered herself to his door, yet he was not interested? He even asked her to clean the offices. Did he think she was a cleaner?

At this moment, Qiao Xi, who was in the cubicle: “…” Hahaha!

She carefully pushed open the door, revealing a gap. She saw Xu Anran’s face alternating between red and white before she ran out with red eyes.

She was about to get up when Gu Zheng pushed the door open and walked in. His eyes were filled with anger. “I finally know now. She’s really too shameless. She actually seduced your man. You’ve suffered greatly!”

Qiao Xi raised her eyes. “What?”

“She’s been targeting you time and again, yet you still accepted her apology? Qiao Xi, you’re the mistress of the Gu family and my woman. Why are you so weak? How can you let Xu Anran bully you?!”

Qiao Xi widened her eyes in shock.

Gu Zheng frowned and left after saying that, leaving Song Shiyu and her staring at each other in shock.

Qiao Xi was silent for a short while before she asked with slight hesitation, “Don’t you think that Gu Zheng has been acting very strange recently? He wouldn’t have been knocked silly during the accident, right?”

Song Shiyu said, “No way…”

Qiao Xi patted her chest and said in disbelief, “You heard what he said, right? He actually said that I’m weak! If he wasn’t knocked silly, then he must have lost his memory!”

Song Shiyu did not answer. Perhaps to the president, Mrs. Gu was really weak.

…

The Xu family.

When Xu Zhi heard that Xu Anran had not only not been forgiven but also offended Gu Zheng, he was instantly furious.

“Xu Anran! Let me tell you, if you don’t invite Qiao Xi back, there’s no need for you to come back even though you’ve won the championship for Planet Music Festival. Get lost immediately!”

As soon as he finished speaking, an old female voice sounded from the outside.

“Who dares to ask Anran to get lost?”

Old Madam Xu’s expression was serious as she cursed, “You’re actually chasing Anran away for that wild girl, Qiao Xi? Xu Zhi, are you crazy?”

Xu Zhi looked troubled. “Mom, no matter what, Xi Xi is my daughter.”

“So what?” Old Madam Xu’s gaze was sharp. “Her getting replaced back then is her fate. She was just unlucky and can’t blame anyone for it! Ever since she came back, she has caused chaos in this family. She’s a jinx! Now, you even want to chase away the daughter who has accompanied you for 20 years for Qiao Xi!”

Old Madam Xu’s gaze landed on Xia Yunlou, and her eyes were filled with ridicule. “You’re also a piece of trash. Is this how you’re managing this family? If you can’t even deal with Qiao Xi, what right do you have to be the madam of the Xu family? Doesn’t Qiao Xi care a lot about Xia Yunqiu? Just start with her.”

Xia Yunlou was enlightened. “Mom, you’re right. Xi Xi was raised by my sister. She treats my sister as her biological mother and has no feelings for me at all. Moreover, she’s just a child. It’s not safe for her to keep the huge inheritance my sister left behind.”

Old Madam Xu’s expression was cold. “No matter who she cares about, you’re still her biological mother! If she doesn’t acknowledge you, then spread this news online and use public opinion to force her. She’s just a child and definitely won’t be able to handle the rumors. When the time comes, she’ll obediently bring her inheritance back to the Xu family.”

Xia Yunlou smiled and nodded. Old Madam Xu was indeed capable.
