Chapter 529 This Family Is Really Weird!
“Mr. Xu, it’s not up to you to decide whether we’re a family or not. Didn’t Madam Xu say that our young madam isn’t worthy to be the daughter of the Xu family?” Song Shijing interrupted. Gu Zheng did not even bother to look at Xu Zhi. He held Qiao Xi’s hand and sat down. Only the Xu family was left standing awkwardly in the center of the banquet hall.
Xu Zhi’s face was filled with horror. He finally knew why Qiao Xi looked down on the Xu family. It was because Gu Zheng was her backer. However, he did not understand why Gu Zheng would marry Qiao Xi.
Xu Zhi sized up Qiao Xi in confusion, then looked at the sobbing Xu Anran and sighed helplessly.
Of course, his heart ached for Anran. This daughter had always been arrogant. It was not easy for her to fall in love with a man. Unexpectedly, this man was her brother-in-law.
“Qiao Xi married President Gu a long time ago. Although the two of them didn’t hold a wedding, many people in the industry know about this, right?!” The guests looked puzzled. “That’s right! It’s fine if others don’t know, but as Mrs. Gu’s parents, they didn’t even know that their daughter was married?”
“Just look at Madam Xu’s attitude toward Qiao Xi. The Xu family doesn’t care about their biological daughter at all. They only have that adopted daughter in their hearts. Moreover, that adopted daughter likes President Gu. Xia Yunlou wanted Xu Anran to marry President Gu. She had no idea that her biological daughter was President Gu’s legitimate wife.”
“This family is really strange! They want to help their adopted daughter snatch their biological daughter’s husband? Moreover, I heard that the adopted daughter arranged a room for Qiao Xi in the basement and tampered with it. She wanted to burn Qiao Xi to death!”
“Huh? She’s too vicious! She looks innocent and harmless. Who would have thought that she would do such a thing?!”
Xia Yunlou was pulled by Xu Zhi and made to sit down. She gnashed her teeth and said, “Qiao Xi is married to Gu Zheng! Why didn’t she tell us earlier? She did it on purpose! She made us lose face in public!”
Xu Zhi also had a helpless expression. If he had known earlier that Qiao Xi was Mrs. Gu, he would not have let Qiao Xi suffer.
When he thought of the 200,000 yuan he had given Qiao Xi, Xu Zhi felt his face burn. 200,000 yuan was nothing to Gu Zheng. He reckoned that Qiao Xi’s heart was filled with ridicule when she accepted the money!
Now, Qiao Xi must be extremely disappointed in the Xu family. Coupled with the fact that she did not grow up by their sides, it would be difficult for her to help the Xu family gain benefits.
Xia Yunlou and Xu Anran had gloomy expressions.
They did not dare believe that Qiao Xi, someone who had led a wandering life outside, could actually marry a god-like man like Gu Zheng. Shouldn’t she be a poor person living in the slums? What right did she have to snatch the man Anran liked?
Moreover, they came to Li City to look for Qiao Xi for the sake of the marriage agreement. Now that Qiao Xi was married, how should this matter be resolved? Xia Yunlou rolled her eyes and lowered her voice. “Hubby, do you think Xi Xi is suitable to be Mrs. Gu?”
“Xi Xi grew up in the countryside since she was young. She doesn’t know any etiquette. How is she worthy of being Mrs. Gu? It’s only because President Gu thinks she’s a little pretty, so he’s interested in her. He’ll get sick of her soon. The woman President Gu should marry should be a noble daughter and a top socialite. Only a girl like Anran is worthy of him.”
Xu Zhi was silent while Xia Yunlou continued, “Moreover, we came to Li City to look for Xi Xi for the sake of that marriage agreement. Could it be that you want Anran to marry that good-for-nothing? Qiao Xi, this wandering daughter, is so compatible with that good-for-nothing. Why don’t we get Qiao Xi to divorce President Gu?
“President Gu is good to Qiao Xi only because of her face. If he gets to know Anran, he’ll definitely realize her good qualities and won’t like Qiao Xi anymore.
“Although Qiao Xi is our biological daughter, she has no feelings for us. Even if she marries President Gu, it won’t be of any use to our Xu family. However, Anran is different. Hubby, what do you think?
“Everyone knows that Qiao Xi married Gu Zheng, but our Xu family didn’t. She deliberately didn’t tell us and made us lose face in front of everyone!”
The more Xu Zhi listened, the more his eyebrows furrowed. He could not help but feel angry. Even if Xi Xi was Mrs. Gu, it was useless if she was not close to the Xu family. However, if Mrs. Gu was Anran, then they would be a family with the Gu family.
