Xu Mei sighed. “I don’t know. I can’t figure it out either, but I know that if it were Rou Rou instead of Qiao Xi, she definitely wouldn’t cause trouble. Our Rou Rou is so obedient. When she was the Qiao family’s eldest daughter, she never caused us any trouble. She also has a good reputation.”
At the mention of Qiao Rou, Qiao Zhenguo’s eyes lit up. “I got it!
“Those two people know that the eldest daughter of the Qiao family is an upright person, but they don’t know that the current eldest daughter is no longer the eldest daughter. They must have mistaken Qiao Xi for Rou Rou! Otherwise, why would these two help Qiao Xi? Special Assistant Song is from the Gu family, and Rou Rou is the future granddaughter-in-law of the Gu family. Song Shiyu must have thought that Rou Rou was the one who was in trouble this time, so he rushed to help her!
“All of this is Qiao Xi’s scheme. Qiao Xi must have told Special Assistant Song that she’s Gu Moling’s fiance. In name, she’s indeed Gu Moling’s fiance. The marriage candidate between the two families has not been changed. After Special Assistant Song investigated, he realized that what Qiao Xi said was true, so he spared no effort to help Qiao Xi. This rebellious daughter actually dares to take advantage of Rou Rou! She stole her position!”
Xu Mei did not expect that Qiao Zhenguo would think of this as soon as she nudged him. She lowered her eyes and said in a bitter tone, “I’m not asking for anything now. I just hope that Qiao Xi can let Gu Moling off. I can give up the Qiao family and Rou Rou, but without Gu Moling, Rou Rou probably won’t be able to live!”
Qiao Zhenguo hugged her with heartache. “Don’t worry. Rou Rou is our daughter. Everything she has won’t be snatched away by others. I’ll get Rou Rou to meet these two big shots in a few days and make things clear. In the future, our Qiao family’s resources will only get better and better. We won’t be trampled by others again!”
The marriage between the Qiao family and the Gu family was set in stone. It would absolutely not be canceled. Although all of this was done by Qiao Xi’s mother, Qiao Xi’s mother was already dead. What was left behind by the dead belonged to them, so they naturally could deal with it as they pleased.
Now, they wanted Qiao Rou to marry into the Gu family in Qiao Xi’s place and marry Gu Moling. Gu Moling and Qiao Rou had a good relationship. If he had to marry Qiao Xi, Gu Moling might feel disgusted. Therefore, in order not to let the Qiao family and the Gu family become enemies, they could only marry off Qiao Rou.
…
Qiao Xi left with Song Shiyu when she suddenly thought of something. “You’re quite an impressive assistant in front of others, aren’t you?”
An assistant could actually scare the president of Qiao Corporation to such an extent.
Song Shiyu touched his nose. “Madam, you might not know this, but I retired from the army. Many people called me ‘Deputy Song’ before, but after I worked with President Gu, they started calling me ‘Deputy Song’ again. However, I thought that it wouldn’t be good to call me that since I’ve already retired, so they started calling me ‘Special Assistant Song’.”
Of course, although the titles were different, they had not forgotten Song Shiyu’s previous identity and were very respectful to him. Coupled with his relationship with Gu Zheng, they did not dare to act rashly.
Qiao Xi’s brows raised. “So that’s how it is.”
Song Shiyu could not tell what Qiao Xi’s expression meant, so he could only ask carefully, “Madam, are we going home now?”
Qiao Xi nodded.
After getting the chauffeur to send Qiao Xi to the car, Song Shiyu called Gu Zheng in a shaky voice. “President Gu, Madam thought that my status as a special assistant garnered me too much respect, so I casually told her about my previous identity. However, Madam’s reaction was so strange… She won’t notice anything, right?”
He had only said that he was an adjutant. It was normal for a soldier to become an adjutant, right? But why did Madam have such a look on her face? It was as if she had seen through everything but refused to say anything. It made him panic.
Gu Zheng tapped his fingers lightly. “She wasn’t bullied in Qiao Corporation, right?”
Song Shiyu: “???”
‘Boss, I’m talking about serious matters!’
Gu Zheng frowned and repeated impatiently, “I’m asking you if she was bullied.”
Song Shiyu: “…”
His silence was mistaken as an affirmative answer. Gu Zheng’s voice suddenly rose. “You actually let her be bullied by the Qiao family? Has your ability deteriorated after such a long time? Are you too old to work anymore and want to go home to retire?”
Song Shiyu, who was called old even before he turned 30: “…”
He was just a little late in answering. Why was President Gu so sarcastic?! Now that he thought about it, Madam was so smart. The identity that President Gu wanted to hide would probably be exposed soon. He had called to remind President Gu so that his little identity would not be exposed, but it seemed that he did not take it to heart at all!
