Chapter 505 The Xia Family’s Secret
Xu Anran’s spirits had crumbled. Her body went weak as she fell onto the sofa. Her nails dug into her palms as she said in a suppressed voice, “I… I’ll explain it clearly later. Mom… saving Brother is more important now.”
Then, Xu Anran and Madam Xu ran out in a panic. The host picked up the equipment and was surprised to find that the live-stream could be switched off now.
This matter was trending again, but this time, things took a 180-degree change.
Xu Anran was an A-list celebrity, after all. There were naturally many people paying attention to this matter. Although the Xu family spent a lot of money to suppress the trending topics, they still could not suppress the criticisms from everyone.
Xu Anran’s expression was ugly. It was fine. She would apologize in two days. Everyone would forget about this matter after a while. The most important thing now was to save her brother.
However… the Xu family’s business might be affected.
Qiao Xi had caused huge trouble and caused the Xu family to be in such a mess. Her parents would definitely hate her. If they knew that Qiao Xi was their biological daughter, they would have no reason to acknowledge her.
Two days later.
Xu Anran posted an apology video on Weibo. In the video, she kept apologizing with teary eyes. Coupled with the fans clearing her name and the Xu family spending a lot of money, the matter gradually calmed down.
Qiao Xi took a look at the video. “Tsk tsk… As expected of an actress! Look at how pitifully she’s crying. She looks like she’s about to die! She’s just trying to say that her manager was the one who wanted her to fight for this role, and the matter of Xu Anyi getting his people to commit murder has nothing to do with her. She wants to say that she’s still that pure and flawless G.o.ddess in her fans’ eyes, huh?
“Her brother is still at the police station! How dare she say such things?”.
Qiao Xi knew very well that the evidence was sufficient now. As long as she did not forgive Xu Anyi, he could not come out. Even if the Xu family was rich and powerful, they could not openly s.n.a.t.c.h someone from the police station. However, how could the Xu family, a wealthy family, tolerate such a family scandal?
Qiao Xi had just come downstairs when she saw Gu Zheng instructing Song Shijing on something. His eyes were cold, and Song Shijing nodded with a serious expression before turning to leave.
Gu Zheng stood up and walked in front of her. His voice was low. “I have something to tell
you.”
Qiao Xi shook her head. “Forget it. I don’t want to hear about the Xu family. I’m annoyed. I want to send that kid from the Xu family to jail. It’s useless no matter what anyone says. Since he dared to get people to kill me, I won’t let him off!”
Gu Zheng smiled helplessly. “Don’t be so angry. This matter has to do with you. You’ll want to know.”
Qiao Xi raised her eyes and became interested as well. “Are you trying to say that I have a relationship with the Xu family? Even if the Xu family and I are related by blood, I don’t intend to acknowledge them. After all, Xu Anran has already caused a huge ruckus. It’ll be awkward for me to acknowledge her now. Why should I rush over to make others dislike me?”
Gu Zheng’s expression was indifferent as he handed the doc.u.ment in his hand to Qiao Xi. There was a photo in it with two women who looked similar. “Mom?”
Qiao Xi was surprised. This was indeed a photo of her mother when she was young, and the other woman who looked very similar to her mother was… Madam Xu?
“The people in the photo are your mother, Xia Yunqiu, and Madam Xu, Xia Yunlou. They’re biological sisters from the same father and mother. They’re from the Xia family of Luo City. They’re a legendary top family. Rumor has it that the Xia family has two devastatingly beautiful daughters, but the two of them have never appeared together. The Xia family dotes on these two daughters very much. They didn’t even reveal their names before they got married.
“After that, Xia Yunlou married into the Xu family. However, the eldest daughter of the Xia family went missing. The Xia family kept it a secret and never released news of it. They only announced to the public that the eldest daughter was bedridden and needed to rest.”
“However, your mother appeared in Li City later on. The Xia family didn’t go to look for her because everyone thought that the eldest daughter of the Xia family was recuperating in the Xia family.”
Qiao Xi’s gaze was slightly cold.
She suddenly felt that there must be a conspiracy behind this. Otherwise, why would her mother come to Li City with so many a.s.sets and marry Qiao Zhenguo?
Gu Zheng wanted to continue speaking when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his eyes. His head felt heavy, and his vision suddenly darkened. Coincidentally, he was tripped by something on the floor and fell forward uncontrollably.
Qiao Xi immediately stretched out her hand to support him when she saw this scene, but because he was too tall, she lost her balance and fell with him.
