Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

1322 Your Fate Should Be Like This

The surroundings instantly fell silent.

“Qiao Xi!”

An angry roar came from upstairs. Xia Lan rushed over angrily and shouted like a lunatic, “You and Gu Zheng are not compatible. That man is too scheming. Hasn’t he caused Mengyan enough trouble? You won’t have a good ending if you’re with him!”

Qiao Xi’s eyes suddenly turned cold as she sneered. “He harmed Xia Mengyan? Wasn’t it Xia Mengyan who schemed against me first? Madam Xia Yunlou… Oh, no, I should call you Madam Xia Lan. My husband helped me clear my name and took revenge on the people who bullied me. Is there anything wrong with that?

“Would you think we’re suitable only if my husband doesn’t do anything and even helps Xia Mengyan bully me? I really don’t agree with your thoughts.”

Xia Lan realized that she had said something wrong, but she did not know how to retort. The anger that was suppressed in her heart surged as she ordered, “Qiao Xi! Let me tell you, we’ve already accepted Madam Tan’s betrothal gifts. You have to marry Young Master Tan even if you don’t want to!”

“Is that so?” Qiao Xi’s eyes were filled with disdain.

Xia Lan’s tone was unquestionable. “Yes! I’m your mother. You have to marry whoever I ask you to marry! Since I gave birth to you, I have the right to interfere in your marriage. You can’t go against my wishes!”

“Madam Xia, are you admitting that I’m your daughter now? Didn’t you cut off all ties with me?” Qiao Xi looked at her coldly.

Xia Yunlou retorted in a sharp voice, “I just said those words in a moment of anger! I’m doing this for your own good. I want you to have a backer for the rest of your life. You’ll definitely be happy if you marry Young Master Tan. Why don’t you understand my painstaking efforts?!”

Xia Mengyan’s tone carried a hint of pleading. “Xi Xi, we’ve already accepted the betrothal gifts. If we go back on our word now, the Brook family will definitely destroy the Xia family. You and Gu Zheng will be divorced, but you’ll still have a noble status. You’ll be even more glorious than before. On the account of Aunt Yunqiu, help the Xia family.”

“Shut up! You’re not worthy of mentioning my mother. If she were here, she definitely wouldn’t push me into a fire pit!” Qiao Xi berated, then raised her eyes to look at Xia Lan. “Madam Xia, you should know how many women Young Master Tan has tortured to death. You keep saying that you’re my mother, but can you bear to let me marry such a man?”

Xia Lan lowered her head guiltily and retorted unwillingly, “T-That’s all a rumor. Even if such a thing really happened, it’s because those women were insensible and didn’t know how to serve their husband. You’re different. You’re so outstanding and know everything. You’ll definitely coax Young Master Tan. If you really die, it’s your fate. You can’t blame me.”

Xia Mengyan said again, “Xi Xi, don’t think too much. If those women hadn’t died, you wouldn’t have had the chance to marry Young Master Tan! Moreover, Young Master Tan likes you very much. He’s willing to come all the way to Li City for you and is even willing to give you two billion as a betrothal gift. You should feel honored. Now that things have come to this, quickly leave with Young Master Tan.”

Qiao Xi grunted coldly and slowly clenched her fists, gesturing in front of everyone.

“Director Xia, Madam Xia, I’m not from the Xia family to begin with. You have no right to marry me off. If the Xia family wants to sell their daughter for glory, they should sell Xia Mengyan, not me.”

“No! Mengyan can’t be the one to do it!” Xia Lan’s sharp voice sounded as she pointed at Qiao Xi crazily. “I painstakingly carried you for ten months to give birth to you. How are you not a member of the Xia family? You’ve already grown up, so it’s time for you to repay us. Is it so difficult to marry you?”

Qiao Xi slowly stood up, and her entire body emitted a chill. Xia Lan could not help but take a few steps back.

“Madam Xia, since you’ve said so, I’ll settle the score with you.”

At this moment, the internet had already exploded. This was because Shen Yu had started a live broadcast 20 minutes ago. As he was usually very busy, he almost did not do live broadcasts. Now that he suddenly started a live broadcast, the fans were extremely excited. They told each other about it and clicked on the live broadcast.

Everyone did not expect that the person in the live stream was not Shen Yu. Instead, they saw the Xia family. Everyone heard the conversation between Xia Mengyan and Madam Tan and learned that Xia Mengyan had deliberately given Qiao Xi’s photo and information to Madam Tan. That was why Madam Tan came all the way to Li City to propose a marriage between Qiao Xi and her son.

Then, something even more shocking happened…

At first, everyone thought that a scene from a show was being filmed. After someone revealed the identities of the Xia family and Qiao Xi in the live stream, everyone knew that the scene in front of them was real.
