“I really don’t know how things ended up like this. It’s all my fault. I’ve let my sister down. I’m willing to die to atone for my sins. I didn’t want to implicate the Qiao family either, but my sister is so vicious. She doesn’t care about the Qiao family’s reputation at all!
Tears trickled down Qiao Rou’s face as she choked. “Today was supposed to be my donation ceremony with Brother Moling. Now, I’ve become the joke of Li City University…
“I’ve let my sister down. She can take revenge on me however she wants, but today’s a special occasion. My sister chose to expose this matter today. She didn’t even consider the Qiao family.”
Old Madam Qiao and Qiao Zhenguo were instantly infuriated when they heard this.
Rou Rou was right. It was fine if Qiao Xi wanted to take revenge on Rou Rou, but she chose to do it today.
Zhao Lili was spouting nonsense and had indeed wronged Qiao Xi.
However, today was Rou Rou and Moling’s donation ceremony. This was a good opportunity to build up their reputation, but it was all ruined by Qiao Xi.
This jinx should have been killed back then!
Old Madam Qiao burned with rage and shouted loudly at Qiao Xi, “Don’t go!”
Xue Yi frowned and was about to rush forward to argue when she was stopped by Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi turned around and asked casually, “Old Madam, don’t tell me that you still want to scold me? Could it be that I have to remain silent even if I’m being wronged?”
When she said that, Old Madam Qiao was instantly speechless. However, for the sake of her reputation, she gritted her teeth and said, “Why not? Even if you want to lose your temper, you have to look at the situation! Today is Rou Rou and Moling’s donation ceremony. After today, Rou Rou and Moling’s names will be jotted down in Li City University’s records. This is the Qiao family’s honor, but you just had to create trouble. Have you ever considered the Qiao family?”
Xue Yi retorted, “You mean that no matter how Qiao Rou slanders Xi Xi today, she has to endure it? Xi Xi is clearly the victim. She was called a mistress and her reputation was at risk but she couldn’t expose Qiao Rou?”
Old Madam Qiao was extremely angry and blurted out, “That’s right!”
Qiao Xi was angered to the point of laughing.
Old Madam Qiao roared furiously, “Rou Rou is the pride of our Qiao family. Qiao Xi is her stepping stone. The donation ceremony is about to start. Qiao Xi, if you dare cause trouble again, I’ll absolutely not let you off!”
Xue Yi was so angry that she wanted to rush up and slap this old woman. She really did not understand how Little Six could tolerate the Qiao family’s arrogance with her character.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Xi smiled meaningfully. “A donation ceremony? I heard that Gu Moling and Qiao Rou each donated 40 million yuan. This building will also be named after the two of them, right?”
Old Madam Qiao snorted. “That’s right!”
Qiao Xi smiled. “Old Madam Qiao, let me remind you not to keep talking about this 80 million. When things go too far, you can no longer turn them around. Be careful not to suffer retribution.”
At this moment, Gu Moling walked in.
His face was gloomy as he looked at Qiao Xi. He was depressed. “Xi Xi, you’ve gone too far!”
Qiao Xi glanced indifferently at him.
Gu Moling knew that he was in the wrong, so his tone was a little gentler. “Whether Qiao Rou is the mistress or not, she’s still a donor. She should accept this honor with me. Our names will forever remain in Li City University. Xi Xi, let’s end this matter here!”
Old Madam Qiao sneered. “Moling abandoned you and chose Rou Rou. He has good taste! It’s wishful thinking for you to want to destroy Rou Rou. Before long, everyone will forget this matter and only remember what Rou Rou has done!
“Even if Rou Rou can’t become a celebrity, she’ll still be a famous entrepreneur. She’ll also be a philanthropist who donated 80 million to Li City University! No one will remember that she’s a mistress. Your plan will only affect her for a while.”
Qiao Xi looked at the extremely confident Qiao family and said slowly, “As you wish.”
Being a mistress did not violate the law. It was just a violation of one’s morals. It might be fine if she was scolded for a few days, but what if she embezzled a large sum of money?
Qiao Xi turned around to leave, but Gu Moling was stunned.
Qiao Xi had changed. In the past, she only had eyes for him, but this time, she did not even bother to look at him.
Such indifference was hard for the arrogant Young Master Gu to accept.
