When the others heard their conversation, they all praised Meng Wan for being kind.
After all, Qiao Xi had destroyed a dress that was worth 800 million yuan!
“Miss Meng is kind and magnanimous. On the other hand, Qiao Xi… is extremely jealous. As expected of someone from a small family. Her character is really bad.”
“The reason she wanted to attend this banquet was to ruin ‘Time Flows’, right? She probably knew that Miss Meng would be kind and let her off, which was why she was so bold.”
Meng Wan’s eyes were still filled with tears. When she heard the whispers around her, the corners of her mouth curled up into a cold smile. Great, Qiao Xi was finally doomed. In the eyes of others, she and Qiao Xi were good friends, but Qiao Xi had ruined the Meng family’s dress because of jealousy.
Meng Wan squeezed out two drops of tears and pretended to be aggrieved as she cried. “Qiao Xi, I really didn’t expect you to be such a person. I really treated you as a friend, but you…
“Forget it. We’re friends, after all. I don’t want to bicker with you anymore, but you definitely won’t be able to stay for the Meng family’s banquet. I can let you off, but if Grandpa knows about this, he might not. So, you’d better leave.”
…
At this moment, in the banquet hall.
Gu Zheng swirled his wine glass and lazily listened to the conversations going on around him.
“I heard that someone wanted to destroy ‘Time Flows’ and was caught by Miss Meng. I heard that person is Miss Meng’s friend.”
“Ah, I heard about it too. That person’s name is Qiao Xi, right? I heard that Miss Meng likes her a lot. Even though she’s just the eldest daughter of the Qiao family who came back from the countryside, she was invited to the banquet. I didn’t expect her to be such a person.”
“She’s probably jealous of Miss Meng. They’re both young mistresses of wealthy families, but one is high and mighty while the other knows nothing. It’s normal for her to be jealous.”
“Normal? Why doesn’t she take a look in the mirror? She’s just a country bumpkin. How can she compare to Miss Meng, who was raised and educated by her family since she was young? In my opinion, the countryside can’t produce any good people. Otherwise, why would she dare to destroy ‘Time Flows’?!”
Song Shiyu, who was listening on the side, was anxious. “President Gu, hurry up and take a look at what’s going on there. Although Madam came from the countryside, she’s much more magnanimous than Meng Wan. The two of them can’t compare at all. Moreover, Madam and Miss Meng aren’t friends. Why are these people spouting nonsense? Miss Meng always says nasty things to Madam. When did the two of them become friends?!”
Madam must feel alone now, right? So many people thought that she was in the wrong. If President Gu appeared at this moment and publicly said that he trusted Madam, Madam would definitely be very touched, right?
President Gu had never been in a relationship and did not know how touching it was when a man showed his trust in his partner. However, it did not matter. He could help President Gu from the side, but the prerequisite was that President Gu had to be obedient!
Gu Zheng took a sip of red wine, his eyes looking calm. “Help her? Doesn’t she like to show off? I told her not to cause trouble but she still caused trouble. I’d like to see how she’ll handle this.”
He had already said that he would handle the Meng family’s matter on behalf of her, but she just had to do it herself. Gu Zheng was having a headache.
Song Shiyu: “…”
He did not know if he should voice out his opinions or not. He felt that Madam would not have done something like that. Madam was not stupid enough to destroy ‘Time Flows’ in public. How idiotic would that be?
“President Gu, there must be a misunderstanding here.” Song Shiyu tried to persuade him. “No matter what, we can’t just watch Madam get bullied, right?”
Gu Zheng slowly put down his glass and glanced at the time on his watch. It was about time. He stood up. “Alright, let’s go.”
Song Shiyu was stunned. “Huh? Where are we going?”
“To watch a show.”
Gu Zheng put on his suit and walked toward the back of the banquet hall.
Song Shiyu complained in his heart. What were they going to watch? He was clearly going to help Madam!
President Gu had a low EQ. He would say one thing and do another. Would he really be able to win her heart this way?!
…
At the back of the banquet hall, Meng Wan was crying and trembling. She was on the verge of collapsing. “Qiao Xi, I don’t want to chase you away either, but you’ve gone too far. From today onward, we’re no longer friends.”
Qiao Xi stood without moving, and her face was expressionless.
Wang Nuo could not help but mock, “You must be unwilling to leave, right? After doing such a disgusting thing, you still want to be so shameless and stay for the banquet? The Meng family is already being lenient by not calling the police on you. Now get lost!”
Qiao Xi’s eyelids twitched as she looked at her like she was looking at a dead person.
Wang Nuo was shocked by her gaze. “What are you doing? Did I say something wrong? B*tch! If you don’t leave now, I’ll call the police!”
