Chapter 101: Kneel And Apologize
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Threatening her with Second Uncle?
All these years, Second Uncle was the only person in the Qiao family who had been good to her. Qiao Xi had mentioned a few times to Second Uncle to quickly leave this dirty place called the Qiao family, but he was unwilling to do so. Although she did not understand why, she knew that Second Uncle had special feelings for the Qiao family.
If he was chased out by Qiao Zhenguo…
Qiao Xi’s voice gradually became cold. “Alright, I’ll be there in half an hour.”
Half an hour later, Qiao Xi arrived at the door of Qiao Zhenguo’s office. Qiao Zhenguo’s flattering voice came from inside.
“President Meng, it’s a misunderstanding. It’s all a misunderstanding. I’ll get Qiao Xi to apologize to you immediately. Do you want tea or coffee? I’ll get my secretary to prepare it.”
Meng Xingzhou sneered and waved his hand to interrupt Qiao Zhenguo. “I don’t dare to drink your tea. President Qiao, you raised a daughter who dares to plot against the Meng family. There’s no room for discussion about this collaboration.”
Qiao Zhenguo was anxious. “President Meng, Qiao Xi ran away from home a long time ago. What she did has nothing to do with our Qiao family. You can’t do this to us. Didn’t you want Qiao Xi to apologize to you? She’ll be here soon.”
Meng Xingzhou was quite satisfied with Qiao Zhenguo’s humble attitude. He knocked on the table and said, “Didn’t you say that Qiao Xi has nothing to do with the Qiao family? Then why did you ask her to apologize to me?”
Qiao Zhenguo straightened his back. “Qiao Xi’s surname is Qiao, and I’m her father. She has to listen to me for the rest of her life! So don’t worry, President Meng. When Qiao Xi arrives later, you can deal with her as you please. Whether she lives or dies depends on you, President Meng. As long as you can vent your anger, you can do anything you want.”
Meng Xingzhou nodded slightly and asked meaningfully, “President Qiao, do you also think that Qiao Xi was wrong this time? That it’s only right for her to be punished?”
Before Qiao Zhenguo could speak, Xu Mei, who was standing at the side, leaned forward. “President Meng, it’s Qiao Xi’s fault in this matter. Qiao Xi has always been like this. She’s single-minded and doesn’t know how to adapt. Miss Meng was clearly joking with her and didn’t really want to push the blame on her. Unexpectedly, Qiao Xi didn’t know how to restrain herself and turned a small joke into this. She blew up such a small matter. Sigh… She’s really too insensible!”
Meng Xingzhou agreed with Xu Mei’s words. “Yes, Madam Qiao is right.”
When Xu Mei heard him calling her ‘Madam Qiao’, she could not hide her excitement. She had gotten to where she was today by being a mistress, and many people in the circle looked down on her. They all called her ‘Madam Xu’. She knew that true noblewomen only acknowledged the first wife as Madam Qiao. Meng Xingzhou calling her ‘Madam Qiao’ could be said to be confirming her identity as Madam Qiao.
“Since all of you think Qiao Xi did the wrong thing, then a senior like me won’t go against a junior. How about this? I don’t have high expectations. You can just send Qiao Xi overseas and this matter will end here. Our cooperation can continue.”
Xu Mei wished for nothing more than for Qiao Xi to get lost. Ever since the incident last time, Qiao Xi’s character had changed drastically. This caused Xu Mei to have a bad feeling. She had the premonition that Qiao Xi was becoming more and more out of control. Now that Meng Xingzhou had taken the initiative to ask them to send Qiao Xi overseas, it was exactly what she wanted. “President Meng, you’re right. Qiao Xi has been spoiled rotten by us and doesn’t know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is. Don’t worry, we’ll definitely send her overseas to be educated.”
Right at this moment, Qiao Xi pushed the door open and entered. Xu Mei had a flattering smile on her face when she heard the sound behind her. She turned around and the smile on her face quickly vanished. “Qiao Xi, you’re here.”
Meng Xingzhou saw Qiao Xi and snorted. “President Qiao and Madam Qiao, you both should know what to do, right?”
Qiao Zhenguo nodded. “Qiao Xi, you’ve offended Miss Meng and caused trouble for the Qiao family. I’ve already discussed it with your mother. We’ll send you overseas tomorrow.”
Qiao Xi lazily leaned against the door frame. “You talked to my mother? When did you discuss it? My mother died so many years ago. Could it be that she visited you in your dreams? Or did you go to heaven to look for her?”
Qiao Zhenguo’s expression changed. “Qiao Xi! Stop looking so carefree. Is this how the Qiao family has educated you? As a member of the Qiao family, it’s fine that you don’t know how to contribute to the company, but you even go around causing trouble. You don’t know how to repent!”
Qiao Xi dug her ears and asked casually, “Causing trouble? What trouble have I caused?”
“Are you still playing dumb here? Do you think we don’t know that you’ve offended Miss Meng?! You caused trouble at the Meng family’s banquet and embarrassed Miss Meng. This is the big trouble you caused! Since President Meng is here, quickly kneel down and apologize to him!”
