Hearing Li Xing’er’s words, Gu Yao’s expression darkened. “The Qiao family actually dares to auction the belongings of Qiao Xi’s mother?”
Gu Yao immediately raised his card, bought the jade pendant, and left in a hurry.
…
Longwan Residential.
After Qiao Xi received Gu Yao’s call, her eyes darkened.
Gu Zheng’s gaze was cold. “The Qiao family still has the jewelry your mother left behind?”
Qiao Xi nodded. “My mother has many assets under her name. Besides the Qiao Corporation, there are also many priceless jewelries. Every single one of them can be said to be exquisite.”
Gu Zheng asked, “Where are they now?”
“I managed to snatch some of them back, but there are also some that I couldn’t take back. According to the law, my mother didn’t mention those assets in her will. Qiao Zhenguo has the right to decide, so I can’t take those things back.”
Qiao Xi’s mother’s will clearly stated that Qiao Corporation, other assets, and a portion of the jewelry would all be left to Qiao Xi. It was
impossible for the Qiao family to keep them.
She could not take back those that were not mentioned in the will, but she did not want to leave any of them to the Qiao family.
At this moment, Gu Zheng smiled indifferently. “I’ll help you snatch them back.”
Qiao Xi’s eyes lit up. “How?”
The man tapped his long fingers on the table and said calmly, “Those jewelry pieces are your mother’s dowry, right?”
He smiled meaningfully. “According to our country’s law, as Xia Yunqiu’s only daughter, you have the right to take your mother’s dowry
as your own dowry when you get married.”
“Even though she has already passed away for many years and Qiao Zhenguo has a new lover and an illegitimate daughter, you’ll be
asking for your mother’s dowry because you’ve gotten married. It’s in accordance with the law, so no one has the right to refuse you.”
Qiao Xi abruptly raised her eyes.
That was right!
That was indeed the law of the country. If she wanted to get her mother’s dowry back on the basis of her marriage, the Qiao family
would have no choice but to agree. At most, they would go to court.
However…
Gu Zheng turned around and reached out to pull her into his arms. He gently stroked her silky hair, and his voice revealed a trace of
danger. “Hasn’t the Qiao family always thought of Qiao Rou as the Qiao family’s lucky star? They think her being engaged to the young
master of the Gu family will bring endless benefits to the Qiao family? Now, we’ll let them know who the real lucky star is. Gu Moling
isn’t even worthy of carrying your shoes!”
Qiao Xi was slightly stunned, then she beamed. “Alright!”
“I have something to ask you. Do you know why your mother married Qiao Zhenguo?”
Qiao Xi abruptly raised her eyes.
Gu Zheng asked word by word, “She has outstanding looks, great talent, and impressive family background. Normal men wouldn’t be
able to dream of having her. What was so good about Qiao Zhenguo that your mother was willing to marry him?”
“Qiao Zhenguo was useless when he was young. At that time, Qiao Corporation was always managed by your mother. Qiao Zhenguo ate,
drank, and played all day without asking anything. Why would such an outstanding woman like your mother choose him?”
Qiao Xi gasped.
That was right. Why would Mom marry a piece of trash like Qiao Zhenguo?
Her eyes were cold. “Let’s go to the Qiao family’s house.”
In the Qiao family’s house.
Old Madam Qiao sat on the main seat and smiled affectionately. “Moling, our Qiao family has very few people. Rou Rou is our only
daughter. We’ve always doted on her, so when you get married, half of the Qiao family’s assets will be given as Rou Rou’s dowry.”
After the previous incident, Qiao Rou’s image had collapsed, and Gu Moling had also been greatly implicated. He had embezzled public
funds and was now being ostracized in the company. Everyone wanted Qiao Xi to come back and take over the company.
Gu Moling was stretched out and urgently needed a sum of money.
Xu Mei rolled her eyes. Although that woman had made a will, there were still some things that were not included in it. Altogether, it was
a large sum of assets.
Now that Qiao Xi was not married yet, as her father, Qiao Zhenguo had the right to control this inheritance. When Qiao Rou got married,
these things would become her dowry. At that time, if Qiao Xi wanted to come back to get them when she got married, she would not
have the chance.
Ever since the previous incident, Qiao Rou had been getting cursed by people all over the world, causing her to be unable to go to
university, much less develop in the entertainment industry..
