Chapter 616: Came Here To Apologize

Qiao Xi sized up Meng Meimei with a smile before silently turning around to leave.

Everyone followed Qiao Xi and Gu Zheng as they left. The originally congested corridor immediately became much more spacious. Meng Meimei’s entire body went limp as she slid along the wall to the ground.

She was trembling with remorse and anger.

Xu Anran!

…

The variety show officially started filming, and no one caused any trouble, so the show proceeded smoothly. After filming, Qiao Xi directly entered the dressing room, changed her clothes, and went out. She saw Gu Zheng standing at the door, waiting for her.

“Mrs. Gu, you’re really multi-talented. You could even walk so well on the runway.” Gu Zheng smiled devilishly and held her hand as they walked out the door. He said leisurely, “And you’re very beautiful too.”

Qiao Xi hesitated for a moment, but she couldn’t help herself and ultimately still asked after getting into the car, “Am I really beautiful?”

“Very beautiful, more beautiful than anyone else. If you enter the modeling industry, I’m afraid no other models will be able to make a living.”

As soon as Gu Zheng finished speaking, Qiao Xi was instantly speechless. She never realized that Gu Zheng was so mushy when he spoke sweet words.

The car suddenly jolted, and only then did Qiao Xi realize that this wasn’t the way back home. She asked curiously, “Where are you taking me?”

“Nine Heavens Villa,” Gu Zheng said indifferently. “Your property.”

Qiao Xi thought for a moment before realizing that there was a villa among the assets her mother had left behind for her, but no one had gone there for a long time. The place must be a little old, so she didn’t understand why Gu Zheng wanted to bring her there.

Gu Zheng said gently, “To celebrate your birthday.”

“Didn’t we celebrate it yesterday?”

He pondered for a moment. “Others gave you birthday presents, but I haven’t. Besides, someone you hate has come to our house. Let’s not go back for now.”

Song Shijing said unhurriedly, “Young Madam, the president has ordered people to renovate the villa and build a hot spring area. Professionals have tested the place and there are no problems with the air and water quality.

“More importantly, the president even remodeled the villa’s backyard into a yard that belongs solely to you. He named it Night Tide Yard. You’ll definitely like it.”

Qiao Xi’s interest was instantly piqued when she heard this. She never expected that Gu Zheng would prepare such a surprise birthday present behind her back.

However, Qiao Xi was very curious about who that annoying person in Longwan Residential was. Why did Gu Zheng not want her to see that person?

…

At this moment, at Longwan Residential.

The butler looked at Xia Yunlou and Xu Anran. He said helplessly, “Madam Xu, I’m really sorry. Our president and young madam have gone on a long trip. They won’t be back today. You can come back another day!”

Xia Yunlou’s face darkened. “Call her immediately and tell Qiao Xi that I want to see her!”

When the butler heard Xia Yunlou address the young madam so rudely, he instantly frowned. “Madam Xu, I’m just a butler. I don’t have the right to pry into their private matters, much less disturb the couple’s lives. If you really have something urgent that requires you to meet them, why don’t you call Young Madam directly?”

Xia Yunlou was so stunned that she could not speak. After calming down for a long time, she shouted angrily, “I’m her mother! How dare you talk to me like that?! If you anger me, I’ll make her chase you out of Longwan Residential!”

“I have no objections if President and Young Madam want to chase me away, but you don’t seem to have the authority to do so. If there’s nothing else, please leave!”

“You… You let Qiao Xi out! Why is she avoiding me? I’m here to apologize. Could it be that she won’t forgive her own mother for the rest of her life?”

The butler pursed his lips. “So, you’re here to apologize, Madam Xu! I thought you were here to pick a fight! But no matter what you’re here for, the President and Young Madam are not here. If you still don’t give up, don’t blame us for being rude to you. Song Shiyu, come out now!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Shiyu ran out of the hall in a hurry and said with a fake smile, “Everyone, my brother has gone out with the president and the young madam. They really won’t be coming back tonight. It’s not a good idea for you to block the Longwan Residential. If you continue to cause trouble here, I’ll have to call Mr. Xu and ask him to pick you up personally.”

Xia Yunlou was somewhat afraid.
