Chapter 340: Clearing Her Name
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Qiao Rou smiled, and her pale face turned a little redder. “I’m prepared to give a speech, but Sister…”
“Why should we care about her?!” Old Madam Qiao frowned unhappily. “Zhenguo, look after Qiao Xi. Don’t let her cause trouble again!”
The leaders of Li City University took this donation ceremony very seriously. The instruments and equipment they were getting from Qiao Rou’s donation were very advanced and helpful to Li City University.
Moreover, she donated a special book that was previously lost for a long time. It had somehow made its way overseas. Qiao Rou and Gu Moling found that book and bought it at a high price to donate it to Li City University.
Just this matter alone was enough to clear Qiao Rou’s name.
Qiao Rou’s fans also stood up for her.
[Although Rou Rou’s love life is tainted, she’s kind-hearted and made great contributions to the country and the university. It’s reasonable for Young Master Gu to abandon Qiao Xi and choose her.]
[Qiao Rou is beautiful and kind-hearted. How can a petty woman like Qiao Xi compare to Qiao Rou, whose career is successful?]
The Qiao family could not hide the fact that Qiao Rou was the mistress, so they came up with a plan. Since Qiao Rou was already exposed, they would admit it openly.
It made everyone think that it was because Qiao Xi was too useless and Qiao Rou was too outstanding that Gu Moling liked Qiao Rou instead.
Qiao Rou was selfless. It was just that her love life was flawed. She should not be insulted by everyone.
Qiao Zhenguo reminded her, “Rou Rou, don’t care about the opinions of the people around you. The most important thing now is to hold the donation ceremony. When the time comes, I’ll naturally help you solve those problems.
“Qiao Xi only has her mind on love all day long, but you’re someone who cares about the big picture. You and she are worlds apart. Of course, Moling likes you more.
“It won’t be long before everyone forgets your mistake and only remembers your accomplishments.”
Qiao Zhenguo smiled, but his expression suddenly darkened. “As for Qiao Xi, I’ll deal with her and won’t let her stop you.”
Qiao Rou smiled proudly.
Then, Qiao Zhenguo brought a group of people to go look for Qiao Xi. Seeing that she was sitting alone in a corner, Qiao Zhenguo said softly, “Xi Xi.”
Qiao Xi raised her eyes. “…”
“I know that you find it unfair. You grew up in the countryside, while Rou Rou has always been by my side. The gap between the two of you is very big. Now that Rou Rou has donated so much money and even bought important equipment and instruments for the university, it’s not strange that Moling likes her. Everything else is all in the past, so stop fooling around.
“I promise you that I’ll find you a suitable blind date in a few days. Don’t think about Moling anymore.”
Qiao Xi’s expression was indifferent.
The people around Qiao Zhenguo also advised her, saying, “Xi Xi, your father is doing what’s best for you. Don’t cause trouble.”
“Today’s donation ceremony is very important to the Qiao family. You can’t ruin everything for your own selfish desires.”
“Rou Rou represents the entire Qiao family now. If the Qiao family is powerful, it’ll be good for you too. Don’t be stupid!”
Hearing everyone’s persuasion, Qiao Xi sneered. “Alright.”
Qiao Zhenguo looked at her in surprise. He did not expect his stubborn daughter to be so obedient this time.
Qiao Xi said indifferently, “Sister invited me to attend the donation ceremony, so why would I cause trouble? I’ll stay below the stage and watch.
“My sister is so outstanding, I can’t compare to her.”
‘I definitely can’t bring it upon myself to embezzle someone else’s money to donate it elsewhere.’
Qiao Zhenguo was skeptical. “Alright, then I’ll accompany you in case you do anything stupid.”
Qiao Xi did not refuse and just nodded.
She would not create trouble. Someone else would settle the score with them.
The donation ceremony attracted media from all over the country. Many official news outlets were rushing to report this matter.
Although Qiao Rou had snatched her sister’s fiancee, she had also contributed to the country by donating a large sum of money to the university and getting the lost book.
Moreover, the Qiao family had long done public relations and spent a lot of money to bribe many reporters. Hence, these people would not make things difficult for Qiao Rou.
The book Qiao Rou bought was called ‘Investiture Of The Gods’. This book was written by a scholar in ancient times. However, it later fell into the hands of the public and went overseas.. Now that it could return to the country, it naturally attracted a lot of attention.
