Chapter 329: Who’s The Third Party?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Qiao Rou’s explanation proved that Qiao Xi was a mistress and pushed Qiao Xi to the edge of the cliff.
Gu Moling also chimed in, “Xi Xi isn’t that kind of woman. Moreover, Rou Rou and I don’t blame her anymore. Please stop spreading rumors.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Madam Chen suddenly realized something. “I remember now!”
Everyone looked at her while she said to her good friend beside her, “A few years ago, we were always working with the Gu family. At that time, Young Master Gu and the Gu family brought Miss Qiao Xi along. Moreover, Miss Qiao Xi represented the Gu family for a few of their businesses and attended the meetings to discuss them.”
Qiao Rou’s expression froze.
Everyone was extremely puzzled as well. What right did Qiao Xi, a mistress, have to attend meetings on behalf of Young Master Gu?
Before everyone could think about it, Madam Zhou said word by word, explaining the doubts in everyone’s hearts.
“At that time, the Gu family clearly told us that Miss Qiao Xi is Gu Moling’s fiancee!”
…
After the last few words were said, the entire venue fell silent.
Qiao Xi was Gu Moling’s fiancee, so who was Qiao Rou?
Everyone’s burning gazes landed on Qiao Rou.
Qiao Rou lowered her head and trembled nervously.
“No, it’s not like that…” Qiao Rou was flustered as tears trickled down her face.
Madam Chen snorted. “Miss Qiao Rou, are you saying that I’m wrong? I wasn’t the only one who heard what the Gu family said.”
Qiao Rou’s voice trembled. “Madam Chen, that’s not what I meant. Brother Moling and I…”
She was so nervous that she could not say anything. She clenched her fists tightly.
Gu Moling’s heart ached. “Madam Chen! Please don’t make things difficult for Rou Rou.”
Zhao Lili immediately defended the injustice. “Nonsense! Rou Rou is crying from anger because of you, yet you’re still talking? Rou Rou is Young Master Gu’s fiancee. Who does Qiao Xi think she is?! She’s a shameless mistress!”
Madam Chen glanced at her coldly with disdain. “Miss Qiao Rou, Young Master Gu, am I talking nonsense, or…”
She paused and looked at them meaningfully.
Qiao Rou’s face was pale, and her body trembled. Her legs went weak and she fell weakly into Gu Moling’s arms.
“Madam Chen, you’re not spouting nonsense.” At this moment, a dignified female voice sounded.
Madam Xue’s eyes were filled with ridicule. “If everyone doesn’t believe me, you can ask those who once discussed business with the Gu family. Everyone knows that Qiao Xi is Young Master Gu’s fiancee. Moreover, most of the company’s projects were negotiated by Qiao Xi. It can even be said that without Qiao Xi, the Gu family’s company wouldn’t exist today.
“Now that the company is growing bigger and bigger, they’ve forgotten about their former hero and Young Master Gu even changed fiancees?”
Everyone gasped.
It turned out that Gu Moling’s achievements today were all thanks to Qiao Xi! Now that he had taken a liking to that small celebrity, he abandoned his fiancee and was prepared to marry a mistress?
At this moment, Chairman Xue also said, “I remember that Young Master Gu’s parents publicly acknowledged Qiao Xi as the daughter-in-law of the Gu family. Moreover, when we were eating at the same table, Young Master Gu even said that he would marry Miss Qiao Xi in July this year. Now…”
He dragged out his voice a little, saying, “Young Master Gu isn’t getting married anymore and has changed his fiancee. What I don’t understand is how did Miss Qiao Xi become a mistress?
“I heard that you and Qiao Xi were childhood sweethearts. This marriage contract was set by the older generation. You and Qiao Rou only got to know each other two years ago. It’s obvious who the third party is.”
Zhao Lili was Qiao Rou’s lackey. How could she easily acknowledge Qiao Xi’s identity?
“Chairman Xue, I’m afraid you’re mistaken. Young Master Gu’s fiancee is Rou Rou. It has nothing to do with Qiao Xi at all. Looks like you’re old and have a bad memory!”
Chairman Xue’s expression was cold. “Back then when we were eating together, we even took a photo together. Why don’t we show it to everyone? Miss Zhao, you’re a junior, yet you’re so unreasonable when talking to your elders. You’re indeed the friend of an illegitimate daughter. Your behavior is so horrible.”
Hearing this, Qiao Rou was so angry that she almost vomited blood. Did Chairman Xue mean that being friends with her was not a good thing?!
Madam Xue snorted.. “Hubby, why waste your breath on someone like her?!”
