Qiao Zhenguo looked at Gu Moling. “Although the outside world has many misunderstandings about Rou Rou, she’ll one day clear her name. Rou Rou is the beloved daughter of Xu Mei and me. We’ve never let her suffer any grievances since she was young. I hope you can treat Rou Rou well in the future and not let her suffer. After all, the entire Qiao family will be handed to Rou Rou to manage in the future.”
Gu Moling looked at Qiao Rou and nodded.
No matter what, Rou Rou really loved him. She could endure being scolded just to marry him. It was a blessing for him to be able to marry such a woman who truly loved him.
The incident of the donation to Li City University was ultimately the manager’s mistake. It had nothing to do with Rou Rou.
“Brother Moling, I heard that my sister is getting married too. Let’s attend her wedding together,” Qiao Rou suddenly said.
Gu Moling was slightly surprised. “Why is Xi Xi suddenly getting married? Who… is she marrying?”
A glint flashed across Qiao Rou’s eyes as she smiled. “Thong Ming, the young master of the Thong family.”
Qiao Zhenguo had a smile on his face. “This matter was just decided. The Zhong family came to propose marriage. They said that Young Master Zhong Ming likes Xi Xi very much. I thought that the two of them were suitable for each other since Young Master Zhong is very outstanding, so I agreed.”
Gu Moling was silent for a moment before he said helplessly, “With Xi Xi’s taste, she probably won’t take a liking to Thong Ming. Why do you suddenly want Xi Xi to marry him? If Xi Xi doesn’t want to…”
Young Master Zhong Ming was a famous rich second-generation heir in Li City. He was rich, but his appearance was really unbearable.
“She has to marry even if she doesn’t want to!” Old Madam Qiao immediately interrupted. “She’s the eldest daughter of the Qiao family, so she should consider the Qiao family’s future. A business marriage is inevitable. Rou Rou will be marrying you, so Qiao Xi can’t drag the Qiao family down. Now that the Qiao family’s company urgently needs funds, as the daughter of the Qiao family, she should take responsibility! It’s her honor that Young Master Thong likes her!”
Gu Moling frowned and was about to say something when Qiao Rou’s eyes suddenly turned red. Tears trickled down her face. “Brother Moling, I know that you still have Sister in your heart. I can’t replace her position in your heart. I did something wrong and my actions have hurt her. I’ve been feeling guilty about it. It’s because of this that I want Sister to marry Young Master Zhong. He personally came to propose marriage and expressed his liking to Sister. He’ll definitely be very good to Sister in the future.
‘Moreover, we’re about to get married, but my sister is still alone. I just hope that someone can take care of her. Young Master Zhong’s family is rich. If she marries him, she’ll be a rich madam. That’s something that many people can’t even dream of! I’m doing this for my sister’s sake!”
Hearing Qiao Rou’s words, Gu Moling also felt that it made sense, so he was relieved.
There was indeed a misunderstanding between Rou Rou and Xi Xi, but Rou Rou had always been kind. How could she harm her sister? On the other hand, Xi Xi had always hated Rou Rou and always embarrassed her in public. She even ruined Rou Rou’s career.
He nodded slightly. “Rou Rou, I know you’re doing this for Xi Xi’s sake, but marriage is a major event in life.
You can’t be too rash. Just looking for someone rich won’t do. It depends on the man’s character too.”
Qiao Rou wiped her tears. “Brother Moling, you don’t have to worry. I’ll help my sister. Although Young Master Thong is a little ugly, he’s kind-hearted and has a gentle temper. Most importantly, he really likes my sister. As long as my sister marries him, she’ll be the mistress of the Zhong family in the future and will be in charge of the entire Zhong family.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the butler walked in. “Old Madam, someone from the Thong family is here. They want to see Miss Qiao Xi.”
Qiao Zhenguo abruptly stood up and was extremely excited. “Moling, what did I say? If the Thong family doesn’t take Xi Xi seriously, why would they come to visit so many times?”
Gu Moling heaved a sigh of relief, stood up, and entered the inner residence with Qiao Rou. Only Old Madam Qiao, Qiao Zhenguo, and Xu Mei were left in the living room.
A moment later, Mr. Zhong and Madam Thong walked in with Zhong Ming.
Qiao Zhenguo went forward to welcome them warmly. “Mr. Thong, Madam Thong, excuse me for not going out to meet you! Why didn’t you tell us before coming? Xi Xi isn’t back yet!”
Thong Ming had a big belly, and his heavy body moved slowly. His face was fierce, and his fat lips moved. “I’ve already given her enough face by personally coming to your Qiao family. Hurry up and call her back!”
