Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“President Gu, we’re all shareholders of the company. I’ll make it clear to you today. Either you invite Xi Xi back and let her take charge of the company, or we’d rather lose money by choosing to sell our shares. We’re all ready to quit!”

Everyone echoed, “Gu Moling! Qiao Rou caused the company to lose 300 million yuan of assets. How are you going to compensate us?”

Gu Moling’s face was covered in stubble, and his mind was in a mess.

Ever since he got together with Rou Rou, everything had changed.

Rou Rou said that she was not targeting Xi Xi, but everything she did was to harm Xi Xi. Could it be that he had really misjudged her?

…

Longwan Residential.

After Qiao Xi hung up the phone, the butler walked over. “Madam, the president said that President Li is holding a birthday banquet tonight. He asked if you would like to come along?”

Qiao Xi asked, “Don’t we usually receive an invitation for this sort of thing? Why did you only tell me now?”

The butler quickly explained, “The president knows that you had a conflict with Miss Li previously, so… he didn’t tell you. If you don’t want to go, I’ll go tell the president now.”

So that was how it was!

Qiao Xi remembered that she didn’t have any conflict with Miss Li at that time. It was only because Qiao Rou wanted her to take the blame that Miss Li attacked her. She actually didn’t hate Miss Li.

However, she didn’t expect that Gu Zheng would reject the Li family’s invitation because of this matter. Although Gu Zheng was an indifferent person and didn’t care about social interactions, Old Master Li was a famous businessman in Li City, after all. If he rejected, it would give the Lu family a chance to sow discord between the two parties.

Seeing that she did not reply, the butler thought that she was in a dilemma. Hence, he comforted her by saying, “Madam, don’t think too much. It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to go. The president doesn’t care about the Li family at all.”

At this moment, Qiao Xi’s phone rang. It was an unknown number.

After Qiao Xi answered the call, an unfamiliar female voice sounded out from the other side. “Is this Qiao Xi?”

Qiao Xi was stunned for a moment. She didn’t seem to recognize this person. “I am. Who is this?”

“Li Xing’er.” She went straight to the point. “Can you come to my grandfather’s birthday party tonight? I have something to say to you.”

Qiao Xi was slightly surprised.

Miss Li was the one who pushed her back then. Why was she inviting her now?

Qiao Xi couldn’t help but be curious and agreed to Miss Li’s request. She turned to the butler and said, “Tell Gu Zheng that I’ll go.”

Gu Zheng wasn’t the slightest bit surprised. After he finished his work, he invited a professional makeup team to help Qiao Xi dress up.

Qiao Xi’s skin was good to begin with, and light makeup was enough to show off her beauty.

Gu Zheng asked, “Are you sure you want to go?”

“Miss Li called to invite me over, so how could I not show her some respect?”

After Qiao Xi finished speaking, her face was full of confusion. “Why do you think Miss Li invited me? What happened before was that Qiao Rou set me up and pushed the blame to me in front of everyone, so I was punished by the Li family. It has already been so many years since this small matter of ours happened. Moreover, we don’t have much interaction, so it feels a little strange.”

“Don’t be afraid. No matter what happens, I’ll always be by your side.” Gu Zheng’s voice was calm.

Qiao Xi wasn’t afraid, and she only felt curious.

She put on her gown, and the birthday banquet would start in two hours. She stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself.

Gu Zheng looked up. “Mrs. Gu, you seem to have been looking at yourself in the mirror for a long time. Is there anything wrong with the gown?”

Qiao Xi chuckled. “There’s nothing wrong. It’s too perfect.”

Gu Zheng smirked. “I thought you were crazy!”

Qiao Xi: “…”

This bastard really had a sharp tongue. He ruined her good mood.

Gu Zheng took a sip of tea. His Adam’s apple moved, and his eyes darkened. “This is not good. Change it.”

Qiao Xi had a puzzled expression as she looked at herself in the mirror. She was simply too beautiful!

“There’s nothing wrong with it! The gown’s pretty good!”

Gu Zheng frowned and said hoarsely, “It’s not good.”

Qiao Xi was furious when she heard this. “What do you mean it’s not good? This gown of mine is just right. It’s very light, low-profile, and doesn’t lose its essence. Don’t cause trouble for no reason!”

She was an internationally renowned designer. How could the clothes she chose not look good? Gu Zheng was doubting her professional standards!
