Chapter 622: Mrs. Gu Pretends To Be Soft
Suddenly, a shout ca from the courtyard. Following that, a slim figure rushed out with an umbrella in her hand. She was so weak that it seed like she would be blown away by the wind.
Her eyes were filled with shock as she exclaid, “Mom! Sister! It’s raining so heavily. Why are you guys here? Why aren’t you guys carrying umbrellas?! Your clothes are all wet. It’s all my fault for falling asleep and causing you guys to be drenched in the rain. If I knew that you guys were coming to look for , I would definitely have sent soone to fetch you!”
Xu Anran instantly choked up and looked at the crying Qiao Xi with disbelief.
How could this be possible?! Why would Qiao Xi co out?
Qiao Xi had guessed Xu Anran’s intentions. Wasn’t she trying to use public opinion to attack her and force her to take the initiative to seek peace? However, she wouldn’t fall for this trick. When it ca to pretending to be weak and frail, she was better at this. She would pretend to be an obedient and sensible daughter in the live broadcast.
Moreover, before rushing to the door, Qiao Xi had deliberately put on makeup to make her seem sickly. Even if she was drenched in the rain, her makeup wouldn’t be removed. At this mont, her entire face was deathly pale, and her appearance was extrely weak.
Qiao Xi looked at the mother and daughter in surprise. Even the best actress out there would feel ashad of her inferior acting skills.
“Sister! I’m sorry. It’s all my fault for letting you and Mom get drenched in the rain. Why didn’t you call before you ca? I didn’t even know! Boo-hoo… It’s all my fault. Why did I have to fall sick and only wake up at this ti?
“It’s also because I’m sick that Ah Zheng brought here to recuperate for a few days. He even instructed the maids not to disturb . Who knew that you would co at this ti? The maids didn’t dare to disturb , so you guys ended up getting drenched in the rain. Quickly co in. Don’t catch a cold.”
Xia Yunlou looked at Qiao Xi in surprise and sized her up. Her lips were pale, and she would cough from ti to ti. Her eyes were slightly red, and she didn’t look like she was pretending.
Before the two of them could speak, Qiao Xi suddenly sneezed. Tears trickled down her face as she cried, “Mom! Why aren’t you going in? I know you bla for coming out too late, sob sob sob sob… You can hit or scold , but don’t hurt your own body. I beg you, quickly go into the house and avoid the rain, okay?”
Qiao Xi covered her mouth and pretended to be in despair as her body swayed weakly.
The maid at the side rushed forward to support her and exclaid, “Young Madam! Your body is so cold! You’re already sick. This cold wind is going to make it worse.”
Qiao Xi’s voice trembled. “It… It’s alright.”
The maid was also a smart person. She followed Qiao Xi’s plan and said, “Young Madam has been running a fever for the entire day. She has only slept for a short while, but when she heard that her relatives had co to visit, she rushed out without even putting on her coat. She doesn’t even care about her health.”
Qiao Xi said weakly and gently, “It doesn’t matter to . I can’t let Mom and Sister get drenched in the rain again. If I don’t co out to welco them, they’ll be angry. It’s all my fault for being too disappointing. Why did I fall sick?! Please don’t bla and quickly co into the house with , alright?”
Everyone watching the live broadcast was stunned.
[Don’t you guys think that the real daughter of the Xu family looks quite gentle? She doesn’t seem to have any intention of chasing Xu Anran away. In fact, she’s quite enthusiastic toward her.]
[Why do I feel so sad? The daughter who was previously wandering outside has finally found her biological parents but has to be careful and please her family. She’s afraid that she’ll be hated by them. She’s clearly seriously ill, yet she still braved the heavy rain to welco her mother and sister. She’s simply afraid that Madam Xu and Xu Anran will bla her. How can such a pitiful young lady chase Xu Anran out of the house?]
[Co to think of it, it’s a fact that Xu Anran had taken over her identity and enjoyed everything that should have belonged to her. After living with the Xu family for 20 years, even though she has returned to the Xu family, it’ll be difficult for her to integrate into the Xu family. If Xu Anran doesn’t move out of the Xu family, the real daughter’s life in the Xu family will be very difficult. I think it’s reasonable to chase Xu Anran away.]
[I think so too. Although this isn’t Xu Anran’s fault, she did steal the identity and family of the real heiress, after all. She should have left from the beginning. She can’t bla the real heiress!]
Xu Anran looked at the comnts in the live broadcast with hatred in her eyes.
This b*tch actually tricked her!
