Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

Chapter 658: Public Opinion

Xia Yunlou cried. “Xi Xi, I’ve let you down. Back then, it was Mom’s negligence that caused you to be carried by the wrong person. Ever since I found out about this, I’ve been looking for you. I finally found you, but there was a misunderstanding between us. Now, you refuse to come home.

“Xi Xi, I’ve been looking for you all these years. Unexpectedly, my biological sister accidentally found you and adopted you. She even wrote me a letter and told me to pick you up as soon as possible. However, she passed away before she could send the letter…

“Now that she’s no longer in this world, you can’t live without a home. Xi Xi, come back! Just take it as though you’re returning to your mother’s side for your sister, okay?”

After she finished speaking, Qiao Xi watched as Xia Yunlou opened a letter. The signature on the letter was her mother’s name, Xia Yunqiu. The handwriting on the letter was indeed her mother’s. Could it be that her mother had really written to Xia Yunlou?

Logically speaking, since her mother knew that someone was chasing after her, for safety reasons, she would definitely have sent the letter to the person she trusted the most, such as Old Madam Yin or Mr. Yin. Moreover, the two of them had always been on bad terms and did not have much contact with each other. Why would her mother send the letter to her?

Was Xia Yunlou trying to use her mother to force her to return to the Xu family?

Xia Yunlou showed the letter to her and continued to cry. “When my sister left Li City, she took a lot of the Xu and Xia families’ jewelry. She mentioned those assets in the letter and hoped to return them to their rightful owner. Xi Xi, those things are in your hands, right?

“Xi Xi, you must know that those things are expensive. It’s normal for you to be unwilling to return them. But no matter what, they’re my sister’s last wish. As her adopted daughter, you have to fulfill her wish.

“I promise you that the things my sister left behind will be used for collection. We won’t sell them or use them. We just want to place them in the room where my sister used to stay to commemorate her.

“It’s all my fault. If it weren’t for my child, my sister wouldn’t have lived in seclusion in Li City and died in a foreign land. I’ve let my sister down. Now that she’s no longer alive, I can only try my best to fulfill her last wish. Xi Xi, my sister raised you up so painstakingly. You have to know how to repay kindness.”

After the netizens heard this, they sighed. For the sake of finding her younger sister’s daughter, Madam Xia Yunqiu went to Li City alone. In the end, her life even ended there. If Qiao Xi was unwilling to return Xia Yunqiu’s belongings, it meant that she wanted to keep the expensive jewelry for herself.

Qiao Xi’s eyes narrowed slightly. Xia Yunlou was quite smart this time. She knew that forcing her to return to the Xu family was impossible, so she thought of this method to use public opinion to force her back.

Due to her adoptive mother’s final wish, she had to go back with her inheritance.

Of course, she could go back, but they could not regret it!

…

The Xu family.

Xia Yunlou looked at the comments online and finally felt relieved. “Let’s see how that little b*tch will fight me now!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Zhi came down from upstairs. Xia Yunlou hurriedly said while trembling, “Hubby, don’t be angry. I did that because I hope Xi Xi can come back. Moreover, how can a child like her safeguard my sister’s belongings? I just want to get everything back. They don’t belong to her, so she should return them.”

Xu Zhi frowned and glanced at Xia Yunlou with a gloomy gaze. He did not agree with Xia Yunlou’s decision, but this was the old madam’s order, so he did not dare to disobey.

Xu Zhi’s face was gloomy. “Our Xu family’s company is already in a precarious situation. It’s naturally good if Xi Xi returns the inheritance, but if something else happens, the Xu family will be doomed! Xia Yunlou, I’m warning you. Don’t provoke Xi Xi again. If you offend her, we’ll all suffer!”

Xia Yunlou was dissatisfied, but she still nodded obediently on the surface. “I understand. I absolutely won’t provoke Xi Xi. As long as she hands over the inheritance, everything will be fine.”

Now that public opinion was becoming more and more heated, if Qiao Xi did not hand over the inheritance, she would be considered unfilial to her family. At that time, she could not blame anyone for being rude. Gu Corporation’s reputation would also be affected. Gu Zheng might divorce Qiao Xi in a fit of anger.

Qiao Xi did not give a clear response. The netizens were about to explode as they commented on her profile. Xu Anran’s fans also sent her private messages cursing her.
