Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Qiao Rou bit her lip. “Sister, I’ve let you down… I hope to make it up to you. All the women in Li City want to be favored by President Gu. Come on stage. Maybe President Gu likes simple women like you. Come on up, okay?”
Qiao Xi was angered to the point of laughing.
She was simple?
Qiao Rou was just trying to show off her success and trample on her. Her intentions were too obvious.
She wanted to tell everyone that although they were sisters, there was a world of difference between them. One was noble and outstanding, while the other was lowly.
Before Qiao Xi could answer, Song Shijing said, “Miss Qiao Rou, it’s alright.”
Qiao Rou smiled disdainfully. It seemed that Song Shijing looked down on Qiao Xi too.
She smiled smugly in her heart, but she looked troubled. “Assistant Song, don’t misunderstand my sister. She’s very good to me, but unfortunately—”
“I didn’t misunderstand.” Song Shijing frowned and sneered. “Miss Qiao Rou, why do you insist on letting Miss Qiao Xi go on stage?”
Qiao Rou was stunned. “This…”
“You want her to show her face in front of President Gu while he praises you?” Song Shijing asked.
Then, he curled his lips in disdain.
“But I never said that the president is here to praise you.”
“Miss Qiao Rou, it’s enough for you to be embarrassed alone. Why must you drag Miss Qiao Xi along? Do you want to drag Miss Qiao Xi along to take the blame for you?”
…
The venue was silent for a few seconds. Everyone moved away from Qiao Rou in panic.
What?
Song Shijing said that Qiao Rou had offended President Gu?
Qiao Rou’s heart skipped a beat, and her pale lips trembled slightly. “Assistant Song, did I hear wrongly? How did I offend President Gu?”
Her eyes widened abruptly. “Did my sister say something bad about me? There was indeed a misunderstanding between us, but President Gu and I—”
Song Shijing interrupted her coldly, “Do you need others to tell you what you’ve done?”
Everyone was really puzzled. Could it be that President Gu was also interfering in someone else’s family matters? Even if Qiao Rou was a mistress, this did not seem to have anything to do with President Gu!
No matter what, today was Qiao Rou’s donation ceremony. Why did President Gu have to embarrass Qiao Rou in public? Was it too much?
Old Madam Qiao and Qiao Zhenguo were trembling with fear. They hurriedly stepped forward and bowed. “Assistant Song, it must be a misunderstanding. Our Rou Rou has always been sensible. How could she have… offended President Gu?”
Song Shijing sneered. “You’re Qiao Rou’s father and grandmother? It seems that you’re both involved in this too?”
Everyone was dumbfounded. What was going on?
Qiao Zhenguo asked in fear, “May I know what Rou Rou has done? Please tell me.”
Song Shijing was silent for a while, then he sneered. “If the two of you don’t know about this, then it must be Miss Qiao’s own plan? Don’t worry, family members shouldn’t be blamed. Our president has always been fair. Whoever makes a mistake will be held responsible. You won’t be implicated in this matter.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Shijing clapped his hands and the police rushed in.
Everyone gasped. What exactly happened? President Gu even got the law-enforcement officers over?
Qiao Rou’s face was pale. She took a few steps back in fear and hid behind Gu Moling. “Brother Moling, I didn’t offend President Gu. Believe me…”
Gu Moling’s face darkened. He did not believe that such a gentle person like Rou Rou would offend a big shot like President Gu. There must be a misunderstanding.
Gu Moling took a deep breath and stood up. “Assistant Song, I’m Gu Moling from the Gu family. Qiao Rou is my fiancee. There must be a misunderstanding in this matter. Please tell us what happened, Assistant Song.”
No one could turn on their cameras wherever Gu Zheng went, but the reporters had forgotten to turn off the live-stream broadcasts. Even so, no one stopped them.
Since President Gu did not stop them, it meant that they were allowed to broadcast the scene. The reporters heaved a sigh of relief.
At this moment, a law-enforcement officer walked forward with a serious expression. “Miss Qiao Rou, you’re suspected of embezzling a large sum of money. The evidence is conclusive. Please cooperate with us for an investigation.”
The entire venue was silent for a few seconds. Everyone was dumbfounded.
What? Qiao Rou embezzled a large sum of money? It caused President Gu to personally come and question her?
