With that, his tone turned cold. He raised his hand and gestured to the bodyguards. “Take her away.”
Wang Fengxia finally could not take it anymore and fainted. Gu Zheng clicked his tongue when he saw her like this. “How boring.” She was too scared. It was not worth his trip here.
Song Shiyu glanced at his expression and suggested, “I heard that Qiao Rou and Gu Moling were also at the entrance of the university at that time. They even helped Wang Fengxia ask Madam to apologize.”
“Oh?” Gu Zheng pinched his fingers and pretended to casually say, “Then bring them over to join in the fun.”
…
On the other side, when Qiao Xi returned to the classroom to prepare for class, Qiao Rou and Gu Moling received an invitation from the head of the Gu family.
Qiao Rou was delighted. Gu Zheng? Why would he send her a message?
At the same time, Gu Moling was also looking at the message with surprise. He was a junior of the Gu family and had heard about the current head of the Gu family a long time ago. He knew that Gu Zheng was extremely powerful in the Gu family, and no one dared to provoke him. Everyone said that Gu Zheng was only so powerful because of the Gu family, but only the Gu family knew that the Gu family relied on Gu Zheng to get to where they were today. In other words, the Gu family was nothing without Gu Zheng.
“Rou Rou, I didn’t expect that the head of the family would invite us over as guests. You don’t know this, but I’m only a member of the side family in the Gu family. It’s extremely difficult for me to meet the head of the family. Even my father has to ask for permission before he can meet the head of the family. I didn’t expect that we would actually receive an invitation today…”
Gu Moling excitedly informed his parents about this news. Gu Moling’s mother’s excited voice came from the phone. “That’s great. If we can get in touch with the head of the family, our status in the Gu family can rise. We don’t have to be wary of others. Mo Ling, you and Rou Rou must perform well! Right, pass the phone to Rou Rou. I’ll talk to her personally.”
Qiao Rou took the phone and greeted obediently, “Hello, Aunt.”
“Rou Rou, such a good girl you are.” Gu Moling’s mother’s voice was gentle and loving. “Our Rou Rou is still the best. You’re simply the lucky star of the Gu family. Look… Not long after you got together with our Moling, the patriarch saw our Moling’s good side. Fortunately, you’re the one marrying into the Gu family. If it were your elder sister, Qiao Xi, I would definitely be angry.”
Qiao Rou smiled gently. “Aunt, you’re flattering me. Brother Moling is outstanding, which is why the family head likes him. As for my sister… Although she has a lot of problems, I believe that time can change everything. She’ll definitely change.”
“No matter how much a good-for-nothing changes, she’s still a good-for-nothing.” Gu Moling’s mother had a very bad impression of Qiao Xi. “If that kind of good-for-nothing really marries into our Gu family, our Moling will never enter the eyes of the patriarch in his life. She’s just a piece of trash who will only drag us down.”
She was extremely glad that she did not adhere to the marriage contract back then. She was thankful that she supported Gu Moling and Qiao Rou to be together instead. Now, it seemed that her decision was a wise one! Qiao Rou was simply the lucky star of the Gu family!
As for that good-for-nothing, Qiao Xi, she could forget about occupying the position of Mo Ling’s fiance. The reason they agreed to that marriage back then was for the sake of the shares in Qiao Xi’s hands. Now that the Qiao family had promised that all of Qiao Xi’s shares would be transferred to Qiao Rou in the future, it was even more unnecessary for them to choose Qiao Xi.
Gu Moling’s mother would occasionally hear some news about Qiao Xi and knew that she seemed to be an old man’s mistress… She was even more glad about her choice. Fortunately, their future daughter-in-law was Qiao Rou. Otherwise, it would really be embarrassing.
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Rou excitedly grabbed Gu Moling’s sleeve. “Brother Moling, what Aunt said just now… I felt a little upset when I heard that. Why don’t we bring Sister to see the head of the Gu family too? I think the reason why Sister became like this is because she’s too short-sighted. She doesn’t know what true high society is.”
Qiao Rou shook Gu Moling’s arm and said softly, “Alright?”
Gu Moling subconsciously wanted to refuse. He felt that bringing an outsider to see the patriarch would easily make the patriarch angry. However, on second thought, Qiao Xi was Qiao Rou’s elder sister, not an outsider… Moreover, Qiao Rou was so gentle and kind. Bringing Qiao Xi along would highlight Qiao Rou’s beauty, so he nodded in agreement after thinking for a moment.
He liked Qiao Rou’s kindness. He believed that the head of the family, who was also a man, would have a good impression of the gentle and kind Rou Rou.
Perhaps when the patriarch was satisfied with Qiao Rou, he would even casually arrange jobs for them…
