Chapter 87: Gu Family’s Future Mistress
So quick-witted people had already figured it out. Song Shiyu’s words seed to be reminding them that they would be taking the ng family’s side by joining the ng family’s banquet hall… That ant they would be going against the Gu family…
One was the ng family, while the other was the Gu family. They knew which one to pick.
Hence, many people stopped in their tracks and did not continue walking into the banquet hall. At the sa ti, they took out their phones to contact the people who had already entered the banquet hall and got them to quickly co out. It was not worth offending the Gu family for a banquet.
ng Wan bit her lip. She knew Gu Zheng’s ability too well. If Gu Zheng did not enter today, more than half of the ng family’s guests would leave!
She quickly went forward to explain, “Brother Gu Zheng, it’s a misunderstanding. I didn’t… I didn’t say that Miss Qiao’s invitation was fake. Nuo Nuo made a mistake. Miss Qiao, you can enter. Of course, you can enter.”
Qiao Xi smiled at her. “Miss ng, are you saying that I can enter now?”
ng Wan’s heart was bleeding. If she did not let Qiao Xi in, Gu Zheng and the rest of the guests who were supposed to attend the banquet would leave. No matter how much she was pampered in the ng family, she could not handle such a big problem.
Hence, she could only grit her teeth and smile. “Of course. Miss Qiao, you’re an honored guest of the ng family.”
Qiao Xi had a faint smile on her face. She was just about to walk in when her hand was suddenly grabbed. Her heart skipped a beat. Damn, could it be that this scumbag was going back on his words?
Gu Zheng held Qiao Xi’s hand and looked at ng Wan coldly. “Miss ng, don’t tell you think this is enough? Shouldn’t you say sothing to Xi Xi?”
ng Wan’s face suddenly turned pale.
Gu Zheng slowly said, “Apologize.”
ng Wan was about to go crazy. Gu Zheng actually wanted her to apologize to this b*tch, Qiao Xi, in front of so many people?! Her entire body trembled. “Brother Gu Zheng, I’ve already agreed to let Miss Qiao in. You can’t ignore our ng family’s reputation. Our ng and Gu families are old friends, but you want to… give in to Miss Qiao…”
“Our two families’ relationship? The ng family’s reputation? How much do you think the ng family’s reputation is worth? How could you expect to escape unscathed after you disrespected my wife?”
Gu Zheng chuckled and said, “Or do you think that your ng family’s strength has already surpassed our Gu family’s and you can trample on the Gu family’s future mistress?”
ng Wan gasped.
Gu Zheng had pointed out Qiao Xi’s identity. One was Miss Qiao, while the other was Mrs. Gu. The two different titles represented two different classes. ng Wan could yell at Miss Qiao, but she could not show Mrs. Gu the slightest disrespect because the person standing behind Mrs. Gu was the Gu family.
This was also the reason why ng Wan had always addressed Qiao Xi as Miss Qiao. She did not want to admit Qiao Xi’s identity and the fact that Qiao Xi had so easily obtained the title she had been looking forward to for many years!
She understood what Gu Zheng ant, but she was unwilling to give up. What right did Qiao Xi have to be Mrs. Gu? What right did she have?! However, with so many people watching, the ng family would definitely be dood if she insisted on not apologizing.
ng Wan walked toward Qiao Xi with a stiff body. Her voice seed to be forced out of her throat. “Miss Qiao, I’m sorry.”
Qiao Xi nodded indifferently. “It’s alright. I just hope that you can investigate the truth thoroughly before taking action. You’re lucky to have encountered this ti as I have a good temper and won’t make a fuss about it with you. But what if you offend soone with a bad temper next ti? I hope you can think twice before acting in the future.”
Gu Zheng: “…”
These words caused Qiao Xi to receive applause. Many people said that Qiao Xi was too magnanimous, and Gu Zheng was truly unable to continue listening.
ng Wan gritted her teeth in anger. She swore that she would definitely teach Qiao Xi a lesson! She must make her regret what she did today!
Qiao Xi held Gu Zheng’s arm as they walked into the banquet hall. Gu Zheng glanced at her. “Didn’t Mrs. Gu say she wouldn’t see anymore? She even said she has given up on .”
Qiao Xi played dumb. “What are you talking about? Are you having a fever and spouting nonsense?”
Gu Zheng knew this woman’s ability in acting dumb. He scoffed and shifted his gaze elsewhere. “Qiao Xi, today is the ng family’s banquet. Offending the ng family won’t do you any good.” Hence, the task of exposing the fake dress and offending the ng family would be handed to him.
Qiao Xi paused for a mont, then her eyes narrowed slightly. She thought that Gu Zheng had thought things through and was on her side now. Unexpectedly, he still chose to side with the ng family in the end.
