Chapter 469 The Qiao Family Is Crazy
Qiao Xi curled her lips and said mercilessly, “I didn’t agree to marry Young Master Zhong. All of this was privately decided by you guys. It has nothing to do with me.”
“Nonsense!” Old Madam Qiao raised her walking cane and slammed it on the floor as she berated with a gloomy expression.
“Qiao Xi, who allowed you to speak like this?! You have no right to speak when there are so many elders here! You’re already marrying into the Zhong family, yet you still dare to refuse?”
Old Madam Qiao walked in front of her and lowered her voice. “Qiao Xi, you’ve already been abandoned by Moling. Who in Li City is still willing to marry you? I told you not to tell anyone about Moling and your past, but you refused to listen. Now that you’ve reaped the consequences, not only will you not be able to marry anyone, but you’ll also ruin the Qiao family’s reputation!
“Young Master Zhong doesn’t care about your past. It’s your blessing that he’s willing to marry you. If you marry him, you’ll be the legitimate young madam of the Zhong family. You’ll also bring benefits to the Qiao family. This is killing two birds with one stone! In short, we’ve already accepted the Zhong family’s betrothal gifts. You can’t go back on this arrangement! You have to marry him!”
Qiao Rou gently advised. “Sister, just agree. Grandma is doing this for your own good. Moreover, the Qiao family is already in a difficult situation. As a member of the Qiao family, you should help.”
Qiao Xi had always known that the Qiao family was shameless, but she never expected this group of people to be shameless to this extent. Their skin was thicker than city walls. Even a machine gun wouldn’t be able to penetrate it.
They wanted her to marry Young Master Zhong in exchange for money. Qiao Rou would take her money to manage the company and lead carefree lives with Gu Moling?
Was the Qiao family crazy, or was she crazy?
Xu Mei’s relatives covered their mouths and laughed when they saw Qiao Xi remaining silent.
“Qiao Xi was so arrogant before and even went against Rou Rou. She must be dumbfounded now. It was good for her when she used to be alone and free, but now, she’s being forced to marry Young Master Zhong.” “What a pity! Who asked her to not have a mother?! Her deceased mother had a hard life too. What’s the point of amassing such a huge amount of wealth? In the end, her daughter can’t even enjoy her life. It’s all because Rou Rou and Xu Mei are the ones controlling the Qiao family.”
“Qiao Xi is the eldest daughter of the Qiao family on the surface, but she’s actually destined to be sacrificed. Marrying Zhong Ming to be the young madam just sounds nice on the surface, but I heard that… Zhong Ming is a pervert who likes to torture women. He’s already been married twice, and both times, he tortured those women to no end. Look at his appearance. You’ll have nightmares if you take another look!” “Haha! That b*tch, Qiao Xi, deserves to marry a man like Zhong Ming. Perhaps she can live a few more years if she serves him well!… Ah!”
Qiao Xi flicked her wrist and threw out some silver needles. The few of them could not help but let out a sharp cry, but she had an indifferent expression. “Are you sure you want me to marry him?”
“You have to marry him!”
“Unfortunately… I’m already married!”
Qiao Xi said casually, “Even if you didn’t read many books, you should know the law. I’m already married. If I get married again, won’t I be committing the crime of bigamy? For the sake of the company, you’re forcing a married woman like me to marry Zhong Ming. Is that appropriate? Old Madam Qiao, President Qiao, if you insist on doing this, why don’t we meet in court? We’ll see who loses in the end!”
Everyone fell silent.
What? Qiao Xi was married? Since she was already married, why was the Qiao family forcing her to marry Young Master Zhong? They were too shameless!
Qiao Xi’s gaze was icy-cold. “Qiao Rou, you want me to marry Young Master Zhong, right?”
The Qiao family was extremely guilty. Everyone instantly understood that it was actually Qiao Rou who suggested Qiao Xi marry Young Master Zhong.
Although they were all relatives and friends of the Qiao family, they could not help but complain in their hearts. Qiao Rou, an illegitimate daughter, had snatched Qiao Xi’s father, her fiance, and her company.
Now, she was still unwilling to let Qiao Xi off and wanted to marry her to that beast, Zhong Ming. She wanted to use her to the end.
Qiao Rou could clearly feel everyone’s burning gazes on her. Her face instantly turned pale as her body trembled nervously. “I… I didn’t…” Immediately after, she squeezed out a few tears and cried aggrievedly. “Sister, don’t… misunderstand me. I know… I’ve let you down. You were Brother Moling’s fiancee in the past. After you were abandoned, I heard that you married a random passerby in a fit of anger. I… Boo-hoo…”
