Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself Chapter 663

Chapter 664 - Her Death Anniversary

Qiao Xi suppressed the anger in her heart and asked sadly, “Madam Xu, let me ask you again. Is this banquet really a blind date banquet? Did you hold it because you wanted to find a good man for Xu Anran?”

Although the invitation letters did not say that, everyone knew very well that this was Xu Anran’s blind date banquet. They were also willing to join in the fun.

“What do you mean?! Qiao Xi, you can’t be so sarcastic just because Sister Anran is the adopted daughter. Is there a problem with Madam Xu hosting a banquet for Sister Anran?” Wen Xi said indignantly.

Qiao Xi’s gaze was slightly cold. “Madam Xu, you said that you were very close with my adoptive mother, so for the sake of fulfilling her wish, you have to safeguard her inheritance, right?”

Xia Yunlou raised her eyes and met Qiao Xi’s cold gaze. She suddenly felt uneasy and had a bad premonition. She wanted to offer sacrifices to a dead person. Could it be that that person was Xia Yunqiu?

So, today was Xia Yunqiu’s death anniversary?

Xia Yunlou suddenly reacted and was about to speak when Qiao Xi interrupted her. “Madam Xu, today is the death anniversary of my adoptive mother, Madam Xia Yunqiu! You said that you were close to her, so you wanted to fulfill her wish and have me return her inheritance, but you don’t even remember her death anniversary!

“At this moment, the old madam of the Yin family and Mr. Yin are all in Li City. They’re not attending the banquet because they’ve already gone to pay respects to my adoptive mother! As her younger sister, why are you holding a blind date banquet for Xu Anran on this day?”

Qiao Xi’s eyes were filled with ridicule, and her voice was icy-cold. “Madam Xu, do you really care about your sister? It can’t be that you only care about her inheritance and not her, right?”

The banquet hall was deathly silent. Xia Yunlou’s face was livid. She did not expect that today would coincidentally be Xia Yunqiu’s death anniversary. Qiao Xi was grabbing onto this matter and refusing to let go. She was clearly embarrassing her.

Everyone knew that Old Madam Yin doted on Xia Yunqiu, and Mr. Yin also valued his younger sister very much. They had all gone to pay their respects to Xia Yunqiu, but Xia Yunlou, the ‘good’ younger sister, did not know about it and was even holding a blind date banquet here? Could it be that she was really doing everything for the inheritance?

If it were not for Qiao Xi’s appearance, no one would have known about it. The Xu family still looked as harmonious as always, and only Qiao Xi was sad for her adoptive mother.

Xu Anran’s expression changed drastically as she said with teary eyes, “Sister, it’s all my fault. I begged Mom to help me hold this banquet. Don’t blame Mom!

“Moreover, we didn’t know that today is Aunt’s death anniversary. If we had known, we definitely wouldn’t have held this banquet.”

Xia Yunlou’s face was pale as she lowered his head and said, “Xi Xi, we haven’t been in contact with the Yin family for so many years. You didn’t tell me about my sister’s death anniversary either. I really didn’t know what day it was today! It’s my fault. I should’ve asked you a long time ago!”

Xu Anyi immediately chimed in, “Yes! You’re blaming Mom for forgetting her death anniversary, but you never told her. Now that you’re here to denounce her, I think you just can’t stand to see your family doing well!”

Xia Yunlou’s eyes were filled with resentment. She knew that she would probably not be able to obtain Xia Yunqiu’s inheritance today. Since it was like this, she did not have to show any mercy. She had to ruin Qiao Xi’s reputation!

Then, Xia Yunlou’s eyes were filled with sorrow as she cried out, “Xi Xi, I know you still blame me! In your heart, I’m not worthy to be your mother. I haven’t contacted my sister for many years, but that’s because my sister isn’t willing to get close to me. She always rejects me.

“I didn’t know that it was her death anniversary, yet you’re accusing me like this! You only have her in your heart. You don’t see me as your biological mother at all! I want to be good to you and like you, but you’re just like my sister and don’t want to get close to me at all!”

When everyone heard Xia Yunlou’s complaint, their hearts ached. “Miss Qiao, no matter what, Madam Xu is your biological mother. No matter how dissatisfied you are, you have to consider her feelings!”

Seeing that everyone was speaking up for her, Xia Yunlou’s expression eased up a little. These people were all nobles who were close to her, so they would naturally speak up for her. How could Qiao Xi defeat her?

Xia Yunlou cried bitterly. “Xi Xi, you’re accusing me for my sister. I don’t blame you. No one wished for what had happened back then. Throughout these years, I’ve been in a lot of pain too. Why can’t you let go of the resentment in your heart? What did I do wrong that you’re treating me like this?”

“Madam Xu, you don’t know what you’ve done wrong? Well, I can tell you.” A cold male voice sounded. Gu Zheng was wearing a black suit and had a serious expression as he slowly walked over.

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!"
