Chapter 665: The President Protects His Wife
Song Shijing and Song Shiyu followed him respectfully. Xu Zhi also came up to them in fear.
Gu Zheng walked to Qiao Xi’s side and looked at Xia Yunlou with a mocking gaze before continuing, “Madam Xu, you don’t know what you’ve done, so let me remind you.”
The banquet hall instantly fell silent. Everyone gasped and felt the air freeze.
Xia Yunlou’s heart thumped, and she didn’t dare say anything. She could criticize Qiao Xi, but how could she dare cry in front of Gu Zheng?
Xu Anran leaned forward with red eyes. “President Gu, my sister has indeed suffered a lot all these years, but my mother didn’t want her to suffer either! My mother doesn’t want to see this happen, so you can’t blame her! She’s the one who’s the most hurt from this!”
Gu Zheng smirked.
Xia Yunlou hurriedly seized the opportunity. “That’s right! Newborn babies all look similar. I didn’t know that the babies were replaced. After I found out about it, I went everywhere to look for Xi Xi. What’s wrong with the relationship Anran and I share? It’s fine if Xi Xi blames me, and it doesn’t matter what she says to me in private. Why must she embarra.s.s me in front of everyone?
“President Gu, you said that I’ve done something wrong. I know that Xi Xi doesn’t like An An, but An An has lived in this house for 20 years. How can I bear to chase her away? When the two children were swapped, An An was just an infant. She didn’t know anything. She’s also a victim. If I have to chase my daughter, who has been by my side for 20 years, out of the house for Xi Xi, won’t I be too heartless?!”
Everyone felt that Xia Yunlou’s words were reasonable. Qiao Xi was indeed too wild. Did she think that she could do whatever she wanted after marrying Gu Zheng?
No matter what, Xu Anran had lived in this family for 20 years. Before Qiao Xi appeared, she was the eldest daughter of the Xu family and a top socialite in Luo City. Now that the true daughter of the Xu family was back, was Xu Anran expected to be abandoned? This was unfair to her.
Moreover, Xu Anran was gentle and kind. Why couldn’t Qiao Xi accept her? Wasn’t it good for the two sisters to have each other’s company?
Xu Anyi’s face was filled with disdain. “Qiao Xi! You’re blaming everything on Anran. You think that Anran stole your ident.i.ty, so you’re unhappy and want to cause chaos in this family!”
Xu Anran’s eyes were filled with tears. “Xi Xi, don’t blame me or make things difficult for me. It’s all my fault. I should have left this family a long time ago. As long as I leave, you won’t cause trouble anymore, right?”
Xia Yunlou hugged Xu Anran and cried.
Unexpectedly, Gu Zheng sneered and asked coldly, “Madam Xu, have you investigated who swapped the two babies? Do you know who the culprit is?”
Xia Yunlou’s expression changed as she hurriedly explained, “The nurse accidentally carried the wrong baby. Newborns all look similar. I don’t know which nurse it was, so…”
Gu Zheng interrupted coldly, “Madam Xu, I remember you saying that the Xu family’s enemy swapped the baby and found a random baby girl to replace Xi Xi. Later, Madam Xia Yunqiu found out Xi Xi’s whereabouts and adopted her.
“What’s the matter? Have you forgotten what you said?”
The netizens in the live broadcast also posted comments: [Yeah! I remember what Madam Xu said previously!]
[Wow! The domineering president! Although I can’t see his face, I can tell from his voice that he’s a handsome man!]
[This person seems to be Qiao Xi’s husband, right? I heard that Qiao Xi married the head of the Gu family, Gu Zheng. Could this be the legendary President Gu?]
At this moment, Xia Yunlou’s body went weak as she fell onto the sofa. Her mind was a mess. “I-I remembered wrongly. It seems that my enemy replaced Xi Xi. My mind was muddled.”
“Did you remember wrongly? Do you Xu mean to say that Xi Xi was swapped by your enemy?” Gu Zheng asked.
Xia Yunlou’s expression darkened as she gritted her teeth. “Yes, I’m sure that Xi Xi was replaced by my enemy. I was very sad to know about this!”
Gu Zheng’s voice turned cold. “Madam Xu, let me tell you the truth! Song Shiyu.”
“President!”
Song Shiyu looked serious as he took out the recording pen in his hand. “Madam Xu, why did you forget what you said so quickly? If you’ve forgotten, we can remind you.”
Xia Yunlou suddenly shuddered and pounced over to s.n.a.t.c.h the recording pen. Song Shiyu turned around to avoid her and pressed the b.u.t.ton.
