Hearing Qiao Xi’s shout, Song Shiyu refused crazily. “Young Madam! I was wrong. I shouldn’t have disturbed your married life. You can deduct my salary. I really didn’t see anything. I don’t dare to go in anymore! President, I know you two are close, but the living room is still a little cold and the floor is too hard. Be careful of your health! Otherwise, you’ll get sick when you’re old!”

The corners of Qiao Xi’s mouth twitched slightly.

Gu Zheng looked at her and smiled. Then, he slowly straightened his slightly messy clothes and instructed casually, “Come in.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Shiyu pushed the door open and walked in obediently. He straightened his back and said respectfully, “President, I have something to report!”

Qiao Xi glared at him. Song Shiyu did not listen to her orders, but Gu Zheng only said two words and he came in obediently. Was this the difference in treatment?

Song Shiyu handed the document to Gu Zheng. The man looked at it and instructed, “Go handle it.”

“By the way, President, have you heard about Fang Shiyun taking on an apprentice?” Song Shiyu suddenly asked.

Gu Zheng was silent for a moment before asking, “Who’s Fang Shiyun?”

Song Shiyu was stunned for a moment. The president was a busy man and would not remember just anyone. He must only know a famous figure like Liang Pingchuan. The others were not important to him at all.

Fang Shiyun was Liang Pingchuan’s apprentice. He was an upright person with high artistic attainments. Why did he take that scheming b*tch, Xia Mengyan, as his apprentice?

After Song Shiyu left, Gu Zheng suddenly frowned and asked, “Fang Shiyun wants to take Xia Mengyan as his apprentice. Has he ever considered your feelings?”

Actually, Gu Zheng had long known that Fang Shiyun was taking Xia Mengyan as his apprentice. He was very unhappy when he found out, so when Song Shiyu asked about Fang Shiyun just now, he pretended not to know.

Qiao Xi was stunned for a few seconds before she said with a smile, “It’s all rumors. If that kid dares to take Xia Mengyan as his apprentice, Teacher will expel him!”

The next morning.

Knock, knock, knock.

Qiao Xi was woken up by a knock on the door. The servant at the door, Xiao Lan, asked softly, “Young Madam, the Xia family has sent someone to deliver an invitation. Do you want to take a look now?”

Invitation?

Qiao Xi hurriedly stood up and took the invitation with a trace of doubt in her eyes. “What is the Xia family doing this time… Heh… It’s an apprenticeship banquet. How rare!

“But I really don’t understand why they invited me. Do they want me to flip their tables over?”

Xiao Lan shook her head helplessly. Young Madam looked so weak, but why was she so violent?! She actually wanted to flip the tables at the apprenticeship banquet!

Qiao Xi had an innocent expression. “Since they insist on inviting me, then I’ll give them some face. I can’t be rude in front of everyone. I’ll definitely show Xia Mengyan some mercy.”

The Xia family was really relentless! She did not provoke them, but they insisted on provoking her. She would let them see what the consequences of provoking her were!

However, she would not let the Xia family off so easily.

On the other hand, in the Xia family’s villa.

Xia Cheng waited for a long time, but there was no news of Qiao Xi. His expression darkened. “This is a great event. She’s actually unwilling to come?”

Xia Mengyan hurriedly went forward and comforted him softly. “Grandpa, don’t blame Xi Xi. Maybe she’s still angry with us!”

Xia Cheng frowned. “Mengyan, it’s only because you’re kind-hearted that you’re willing to invite Qiao Xi to your apprenticeship banquet. If it weren’t for you, she probably wouldn’t be able to see Mr. Fang Shiyun for the rest of her life.”

It was Xia Mengyan’s idea to give Qiao Xi an invitation. There were not many chances for her to trample on Qiao Xi in public, so she naturally would not let it go.

Originally, Xia Cheng did not agree to let Qiao Xi participate. After all, Qiao Xi had gotten into a cheating scandal. Although Fang Shiyun did not care, it would inevitably affect his impression of the Xia family.

During this period of time, everyone in the Xia family was busy with the apprenticeship banquet. They did not pay attention to the news online and did not know about Yi Cang’s outcome.

In Xia Mengyan’s opinion, she was about to become Mr. Fang’s apprentice. Those unimportant people had nothing to do with her. She only needed to use Fang Shiyun’s power to climb up step by step. One day, she would trample on Qiao Xi.

Moreover, Xia Mengyan thought that since Qiao Xi had cheated, she was definitely anxious to clear her name. If she knew that she could see Fang Shiyun at the apprenticeship banquet, she would definitely not refuse.

Xia Mengyan had thought it through very well, but Qiao Xi’s reply did not come even after two hours. A thought flashed through her mind.

Could it be that she looked down on Fang Shiyun and did not care about this apprenticeship banquet at all?
