Qiao Xi raised her eyes. “Hello.”
Li Xing’er’s face was full of shame, and her ears were red. She moved closer and said helplessly, “I-I have something to tell you.”
The few women who came with Li Xing’er gently pushed her and whispered something in her ear. Qiao Xi understood their purpose for coming.
Gu Zheng understood and stood up to go to the other side.
Seeing that there were only the two of them left, Li Xing’er said shyly, “Qiao Xi, I’m sorry.”
Qiao Xi thought that the young lady in front of her was quite cute, so she smiled. “There’s nothing to be sorry about.”
Li Xing’er instantly became nervous. “I know it was my fault at that time. I caused you to be chased to the countryside. It’s okay if you’re unwilling to forgive me, but I still want to apologize to you.
“Even if you weren’t involved, Xu Mei would have found another excuse to chase me away. You can’t be blamed for this,” said Qiao Xi.
Li Xing’er said anxiously, “But if not for that incident, you wouldn’t have lost your reputation in public, and the Qiao family wouldn’t have…”
“Actually, I benefited from a disaster. If I had continued to stay in the Qiao family, I might not even be able to live till now. It’s because I left the Qiao family that I got a new life.”
Qiao Xi said indifferently, “I have my grandfather and a few brothers. I’m a hundred times happier than I was in the Qiao family. If I hadn’t left at that time, I might have missed this opportunity.
“Actually, I should be thanking you.”
Li Xing’er widened her eyes. “Really?”
If it were not for Li Xing’er calling her about the banquet, Qiao Xi would have forgotten about it. She only remembered that there was a young lady who got a diamond crown on her birthday. However, her senior also gave her a diamond crown after that. It was considered a happy ending.
Li Xing’er stared at Qiao Xi and noticed that there was no resentment on her face at all. Instead, she was full of smiles. She could not help but be surprised. “Qiao Xi, I pushed you down back then. I remember that your hand even bled. Have you really forgiven me? I thought you would at least want to push me down too?”
An indescribable feeling arose in Qiao Xi’s heart.
After leaving the Qiao family, she had always been doted on by her brothers and sisters. Everyone doted on her. No matter what she liked or wanted, they would try their best to satisfy her and would not quarrel with her.
This was the first time she had encountered a young lady like Li Xing’er. Qiao Xi found it very interesting that she was apologizing so much out of embarrassment.
Li Xing’er quickly said, “You can’t forgive me so easily!”
Qiao Xi was silent for a short while before she said casually, “Alright, then I’ll forgive you if you give me a gift.”
…
On the other side, Gu Zheng watched the two young ladies standing together and chatting.
After a while, Qiao Xi turned around and walked toward him.
“Are you done?”
“Yes.” Qiao Xi nodded.
Gu Zheng’s expression was calm as the corners of his lips curled up. “What gift do you want?”
Qiao Xi smiled lightly. “A diamond crown!”
Gu Zheng understood. “So she was the young lady you were envious of back then.”
Qiao Xi nodded, and the two of them got into the car. Song Shiyu was driving, but Qiao Xi suddenly felt her stomach hurt.
…
That night, the Li family called all the major jewelry companies and asked them to customize a diamond crown. It did not matter how much it cost. Most importantly, it had to be unique.
Li Xing’er said generously, “Don’t try to save any money! Other than diamonds, you have to embed some gems too. It has to look good. I’m giving it to someone!”
The designer nodded. The eldest daughter of the Li family was their God of Fortune. How could they dare to be negligent? They immediately chose suitable accessories and prepared to draw the design drafts overnight.
At this moment, the door to the reception room was pushed open.
“I’m sorry to disturb you so late at night. That wedding ring…”
When Li Xing’er heard this voice, she frowned and turned around. It was indeed that scheming b*tch.
Qiao Rou was extremely nervous. Her eyes were lowered as she leaned slightly against Gu Moling. She appeared extremely weak and delicate.
The designer also knew about the recent news in Li City. They knew that the couple consisted of a scumbag and a b*tch. However, the couple had already paid the bill. If they did not design the wedding ring on time, they would have to compensate for the breach of contract.
The designer could only suppress their disgust and smile. “Miss Qiao, this is your wedding ring..”
