Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself Novel - Chapter 523

Chapter 523 She Has Her Family

“Why are you still thinking about the banquet? The most important matter is to save your brother!” Xia Yunlou interrupted unhappily. “Do you think I brought you here to attend the banquet? Actually, it doesn’t matter whether you come or not. Now that you’ve shown yourself, the Shen family won’t say anything.

“Let me tell you, we have to get President Gu to relent and reconcile with us today no matter what. It’s all your fault. If you hadn’t called the police, your brother wouldn’t have been captured. Hence, you have to solve this matter!”

Qiao Xi’s expression was indifferent. “I came to attend the banquet but disappeared in the Shen family’s residence. It won’t affect the two of you, but it won’t be good for my reputation if news of this gets out!”

Xu Zhi immediately choked.

Xia Yunlou could not help but roar, “So what if your reputation goes down the hill?! You can’t represent the Xu family. Anran’s and your brother’s reputation is the most important thing now!

“You grew up in the countryside and don’t know etiquette. You’re extremely crude. I don’t expect you to have a good reputation either. I might as well sacrifice you to help everyone. What other concerns do you have? Hurry up and go!”

Qiao Xi’s expression turned cold, then she raised her eyes to look at Butler Liu, who was standing in the corner. She nodded indifferently. “Alright.”

“Madam Xu…” Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly stopped in her tracks and turned around. “I’ll be right back. I hope you won’t be too surprised when the time comes!”

Xia Yunlou frowned. “Hurry up and go! Don’t pretend to be mysterious. Who knows what you’re going to do?!” Xu Anran hurriedly said, “Mom, I think Sister might be unhappy. She thought she was here to attend the banquet but she’s not even allowed to show her face now. She must be feeling uncomfortable and think that you guys are targeting her…”

She looked helpless. “Actually, it’s because of my sister that my brother got locked up, so she should be responsible for this. I think you guys did the right thing.”

Xia Yunlou nodded in satisfaction. “Look at how sensible our Anran is. Quick, let’s go in.”

At this moment, Qiao Xi had already walked to a corner.

Butler Liu immediately bowed respectfully. “Miss, we’ve already recorded the video according to your request. The banquet will start in an hour. Do you want to go to Madam’s place to rest first? Madam has already prepared the pastries you like and is waiting for you to go over!”

Qiao Xi nodded and followed Butler Liu into the inner courtyard. “Miss, Madam said that you don’t have to worry. With her around, no one can bully you. She’ll help you deal with the Xu family. Just rest here.”

Qiao Xi’s heart was warm. This room was obviously decorated for a young lady. It must have been specially prepared for her. The pastries and other food on the table were all carefully prepared.

Butler Liu said, “Miss, Madam said that this banquet is for you, but it’s up to you to decide if you want to attend. If you don’t want to attend, then you can rest peacefully here. You can leave everything to her.”

Leave everything to her… After Butler Liu left, these words kept repeating in Qiao Xi’s mind. She could not help but sniffle. Actually, she had never cared whether she was the biological daughter of the Xu family or not because she had long since found a family that cherished her.

After Qiao Xi fell asleep, Shen Yu came over once.

Song Shiyu stood not far away and looked resentful. “President, Young Master Shen has gone in. Y-You’re not going to do anything?”

“You’re noisy.”

“President, I’m doing this for you! Actually, I’ve been keeping some things to myself for a long time. I really can’t take it anymore this time.”

Gu Zheng did not even raise his head. “You’d better endure it.”

Song Shiyu looked serious as if he was facing death. “I have to say it no matter what. I’ll say it even if it’ll cost me my salary! President! You know Young Madam’s identity as well. She’s the descendant of the divine physician and has four outstanding brothers. Moreover, the families behind these four brothers dote on Young Madam as though she’s their biological sister.”

Gu Zheng did not understand. Song Shiyu said seriously, “Not only that, but Young Madam is also a designer and the champion of the translation competition. She knows how to play the violin, has medical skills, looks good, and has a good figure.

“Look at yourself. You’re hot-tempered and a bastard in Young Madam’s heart. Do you think you’re worthy of Young Madam? If you don’t change yourself, you might be abandoned by Young Madam one day. Are you really not anxious at all? President!”

In an instant, the air seemed to have frozen.
