Chapter 522 The Shen Family’s Banquet

At this moment, Butler Liu of the Shen family walked over. Xu Zhi and Xia Yunlou knew that this butler had worked in the Shen family for decades. The entire Shen family treated him as family, so no one dared to offend him.

Xu Zhi hurriedly greeted warmly, “Hello, Butler Liu.”

Butler Liu glanced meaningfully at Qiao Xi, then smiled lightly. “Mr. Xu, Madam Xu, please!”

Xu Zhi immediately beamed. Since Butler Liu was so easy-going with them, it meant that the Shen family thought highly of the Xu family. Xia Yunlou and Xu Anran also went forward to greet him. Only Qiao Xi remained silent.

After Butler Liu left, Xia Yunlou immediately reprimanded her unhappily, “Qiao Xi! You’re really rude! You don’t even greet people when you see them. When you’re out, don’t ever say that you’re the daughter of my Xu family. You’ll make us lose all our dignity!”

At this moment, the guests gradually walked in.

Xu Anran immediately walked in front of Qiao Xi and said weakly, “Sister, don’t blame Mom for calling you out. You have to understand the importance of etiquette when attending banquets. You might not have attended banquets before and don’t know these rules. If you have anything you don’t understand, you can ask me. Don’t offend the other guests. Butler Liu isn’t just a servant in the Shen family but you’ve offended him as soon as you entered. Aren’t you making things difficult for Dad and Mom?!”

Qiao Xi did not say anything while Xu Anran continued nagging, “Sister, although you haven’t learned these rules, you… You’re the daughter of the Xu family, after all. You have to attend many banquets in the future, so you have to try to learn the rules. Don’t lose your temper, alright?

“You grew up in the countryside and have definitely never attended occasions like this. However, this is the Shen family’s residence, not our own home. Even if you see something valuable here, you can’t take it without the owner’s permission. Do you hear me?”

Although Xu Anran’s voice was not loud, everyone could hear her clearly. They could not help but discuss softly.

“The Xu family said that Qiao Xi offended Butler Liu? Are they joking?” “They’re shooting themselves in the foot this time. Everyone who’s attending the banquet knows that Qiao Xi is the beloved daughter of the Shen couple. Moreover, she’s President Gu’s wife. This adopted daughter of the Xu family actually dares to publicly reprimand Miss Qiao? She’s really overestimating herself!”

“Look at the Xu family. They probably don’t know that Butler Liu gave them the honor of greeting them only because Qiao Xi is with them. Without Qiao Xi, Butler Liu wouldn’t even look at the Xu family!”

“All the guests present know about the relationship between Miss Qiao and the Shen family, except for the Xu family. They’re really stupid! If it weren’t for Miss Qiao, would they be qualified to attend the Shen family’s banquet?”

The Xu family did not hear the guests’ discussion.

Xu Zhi frowned. “Anran, stop talking. I’ve already told your sister. She’s not a child. You don’t have to say anymore.” Xu Anran immediately looked aggrieved. “Dad, it’s my fault. I thought that my sister didn’t remember, so I reminded her again. I… I’m also afraid that she’ll do something bad. I’m not… I’m not teaching my sister a lesson or anything. I’m just reminding her.”

Xia Yunlou immediately protected Xu Anran and shouted at Xu Zhi, “Why are you so fierce?! Anran is doing this for the sake of the Xu family. It’s all Qiao Xi’s fault for being rude. She doesn’t even know how to greet people when she sees them. Anran is afraid that Qiao Xi will embarrass the Xu family, so she said a few words to her. I already said not to bring this jinx to the banquet, but you just didn’t listen to me and insisted on bringing her here. How embarrassing!”

Xu Zhi raised his eyes to look at Qiao Xi with an impatient expression.

He could not help but snort. “Before we left, I already gave you a reminder. You’ve only been here for a while. Why are you so stupid?! You should learn from your sister Anran. Don’t embarrass the Xu family!” Xu Zhi lowered his voice. “Qiao Xi, don’t forget why you’re here today. President Gu is also here in the Shen family. Go look for President Gu now. I don’t care what you do, but you have to get President Gu to agree to the settlement and let your brother go.”

Qiao Xi slowly raised her eyes and said, “But… the banquet is about to start. If I’m not around, then…”

Rumor had it that Qiao Xi had a weak constitution—a sickly beauty. Rumor had it that she spent a fortune every day on medications—eating them like candy. Rumor had it that ten servants waited on her by her bed every day—a burden to everyone. They were all waiting for the Qiao family to toss Qiao Xi back to the countryside and leave her to fend for herself. Qiao Xi: "They're all saying that I'm weak and can't take care of myself. Apparently, I spend money recklessly as well.” She looked down at her tattered shirt and was exasperated. Qiao Xi: “Are you saying that this wealthy family lets their daughter wear tattered clothes every day?” The Qiao family's rich daughter? She had enough! She would not be it anymore! Therefore… Scumbag guy: "Without the Qiao family, you're nothing." Qiao Xi: "If I'm kicked out of the Qiao family, I'll be done for." Scumbag girl: "Sis, don't be too disappointed. As long as you work hard, you'll be praised one day.” Qiao Xi: "Shut up, I don't know a traitor like you." The scumbag guy and girl: "???" Rumor had it that the Gu family's youngest son, Gu Zheng, rashly married a woman who had nothing but looks. Qiao Xi: "Is someone looking down on me?" One day, Qiao Xi saw one of Gu Zheng's employees racking his brains over a series of numbers on the computer screen. Since she was free, she lent a hand. Did she just crack the firewall created by the joint efforts of top elite hackers?! Gu Zheng inched closer with every step. "Qiao Xi, what else are you hiding from me? Hmm?" Qiao Xi: "Oh, no! I feel dizzy again! I'm so weak. This body of mine is just too weak!"
