Gu Zheng's eyes turned cold as he slowly said, "Don't worry, I won't let any of these people off."
Qiao Xi raised her eyes and their gazes met.
Gu Zheng stroked her cheek gently. "Xi Xi, with me around, I won't let anyone bully you."
He agreed for her to deal with the Qiao family herself, but he would not let the Qiao family climb over Qiao Xi's head.
Qiao Xi watched as Qiao Zhenguo's car stopped and smiled lightly. "They don't have the ability. Wait for my good news."
Gu Zheng nodded. "Alright."
Qiao Xi stood on tiptoes and gently kissed his cheek. She then turned around and left with a red face.
Gu Zheng was delighted as he stood on the spot and watched Qiao Xi's departing figure.
Then, he took out his laptop. Complicated symbols and letters appeared on it. His long fingers quickly typed a few times and pressed the enter button.
After a while, he picked up his phone. "Proceed."
…
Actually, Qiao Zhenguo and Old Madam Qiao had received a call from Qiao Rou an hour ago saying that Qiao Xi had also gone to Li City University.
Qiao Zhenguo was instantly infuriated. That was a formal donation ceremony. What right did Qiao Xi have to attend?
Hence, Qiao Zhenguo brought his family and angrily came to Li City University. The moment he entered, he saw Qiao Rou, whose face was pale and whose eyes were filled with tears.
He did not have time to think and was instantly angry. "Rou Rou, what's going on?"
Old Madam Qiao also hurriedly rushed over and was extremely angry. "Do you even need to ask?! It's definitely that little b*tch! Why is she here for Rou Rou's donation ceremony?! She only knows how to bully Rou Rou. Where's that little b*tch, Qiao Xi? Hurry up and come out!"
The entire venue was silent as everyone looked at one of the reporters.
That reporter was live-streaming the scene. He was also dumbfounded. There were millions of people watching the live-stream broadcast.
The Qiao family treated Qiao Xi so harshly in front of everyone. It was unknown how overboard they were behind the scenes.
Everyone's heart ached even more.
Old Madam Qiao slammed her walking stick onto the floor, her eyes filled with sharpness.
"Qiao Xi, where are you? When you found out that Moling was here, you came over as well. Moling is your brother-in-law. You're really shameless. You have utterly embarrassed the Qiao family! This little b*tch is as cheap as her mother!"
Old Madam Qiao gritted her teeth and looked fiercely at Qiao Xi, who was in the corner. She was instantly infuriated. "You dare ruin Rou Rou's donation ceremony and bully her? Get lost!"
Qiao Xi's expression was indifferent as she chuckled. "Old Madam, how am I embarrassing the Qiao family? You're scolding me without asking why. Is this your upbringing?"
Old Madam Qiao's face was red and she immediately choked. She did not know how to retort.
At this moment, she realized that everyone's gazes were filled with disdain. Could it be that there was something going on here?
Old Madam Qiao was a little uneasy and could not help but look at Qiao Rou. "Rou Rou, tell me what happened."
Qiao Rou's face was pale as her body trembled.
Gu Moling lowered his head and clenched his fists silently.
He really could not say what had just happened.
At this moment, a strange voice sounded from the crowd. "Do you think Qiao Xi was willing to come? It was clearly Qiao Rou who asked the chancellor to invite Qiao Xi over. Your Qiao family has just entered but you started scolding Qiao Xi without any explanation. Is there any justice in this world?"
Old Madam Qiao was stunned and abruptly looked at Qiao Rou.
Everyone could not help but defend the injustice they had just witnessed. "The Qiao family's upbringing is crooked, so Qiao Rou became the mistress. I think the elders of the Qiao family tacitly agreed to this! Xu Mei is a mistress, and Qiao Rou is also a mistress. The Qiao family harbors mistresses. What a shameless family!"
"Qiao Rou became a mistress and even invited Qiao Xi to attend her wedding. She wanted Qiao Xi to give her blessings. How could there be such a disgusting woman?!"
"The Qiao family dotes on their illegitimate daughter but abuses their first wife's daughter. They abandoned Qiao Xi and don't care about her life or death. People like the Qiao family will suffer retribution sooner or later."
"That's right, Young Master Zhang. I heard that your family and the Qiao family are working together. It's better to quickly terminate the contract.. With the Qiao family's character and upbringing, they'll definitely play tricks during the collaboration. Be careful or you'll suffer!"
