Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“President Qiao, I only have one request. I want Xu Mei’s shares! If you don’t agree, I won’t care about Qiao Rou’s matter and you can forget about finding someone else to take on the job.”
Qiao Zhenguo was just about to open his mouth to refuse, but when he heard Qiao Xi mention Qiao Rou, his mind instantly buzzed.
Miss Black Tide just wanted shares, so he agreed!
As long as he could save Rou Rou, everything would be fine.
Although 6% of the shares was a lot, it was nothing compared to the wealth Qiao Rou had. Moreover, they still had a lot of Yunqiu’s a.s.sets so this wouldn’t affect them.
“President Qiao, I want Xu Mei’s shares. Is that clear?”
Qiao Zhenguo looked up at Xu Mei.
Xu Mei shuddered. She had only heard a few words, but she knew they were talking about the shares.
No, what right did Black Tide have to get her shares?!
Black Tide, this b*tch! How dare she?!
“Zhenguo, I don’t agree. No…”
Qiao Xi laughed with ridicule. “Alright, then save Qiao Rou yourselves…”
“You have to!” Qiao Zhenguo roared angrily. He gritted his teeth and shouted, “Stupid woman, it’s all because you offended Black Tide that you caused the entire hacker community to not dare to accept our Qiao family’s order. If we can’t clear Rou Rou’s name, the Qiao family will be finished!”
Xu Mei’s face was deathly pale. Her nails dug into her palms, causing her to tremble in pain. She had never felt such despair and anger before because she had always stood on the victor’s side. Back then, she forced Yunqiu to hand over her shares and give up her position as Madam Qiao. She had never thought that one day, she would be despised by others.
“Black Tide! You b*tch! You want to kill me! You…”
“You still dare to scold her? You shrew!” Qiao Zhenguo raised his hand and gave Xu Mei a slap.
Then, he said respectfully into the phone, “Miss Black Tide, don’t worry. I’ll definitely hand over the shares I promised you. As for Rou Rou…”
“Of course, I can save Qiao Rou, but the matter has blown up too much. It’s not that easy to clear her name. We have to find a scapegoat.” Qiao Xi paused for a moment and said indifferently, “Otherwise, how can we explain why Qiao Rou donated money of unknown origin?”
The moment Qiao Zhenguo heard the word ‘scapegoat’, he thought of Qiao Xi and blurted out, “I have another daughter…”
“You mean Qiao Xi?”
Qiao Xi was not annoyed, and her voice was still calm. “Qiao Rou wrongly accused her of being a mistress. It’s all over the news yet you still want to push the blame to her. Do you think anyone will believe you? President Qiao, don’t think that only the Qiao family has brains. You shouldn’t treat others as fools. But I have an idea…”
Qiao Zhenguo was instantly delighted. “Miss Black Tide, feel free to tell me.”
Qiao Xi’s voice was calm, but each and every word pushed Xu Mei into a sea of fire. “Why don’t we let Mrs. Xu Mei be the scapegoat? For the sake of your daughter’s future, I believe Mrs. Xu will agree. Mrs. Xu Mei was the one who stole money to donate to Qiao Rou. This conclusion sounds more realistic. Moreover, Mrs. Xu Mei is a mistress. The news of her mistreating Qiao Xi has already spread. Her reputation has long been ruined.”
Xu Mei’s body stiffened, and she felt as though her blood was flowing in reverse.
Qiao Xi asked slowly, “President Qiao, what do you think of my idea?”
She leaned lazily against the sofa and closed her eyes slightly, recalling the scene back then.
The Qiao family was invited to a banquet held by a family.
Qiao Rou ran around and accidentally broke the little master’s toy. Then, everyone in the Qiao family helped her cover up the truth and blamed it on her.
This was what they said—
“Xi Xi, your sister has always been obedient. Everyone likes her, so her reputation can’t be ruined. But you’re different. You didn’t have a biological mother to educate you. Even if you make a mistake, they won’t be able to bear to criticize you.”
Hence, she became a scapegoat and was pushed to the ground by the little master. The Qiao family hugged Qiao Rou and comforted her, but no one cared about whether she was in pain or not.
Later, when she came back from the countryside, they said, “Xi Xi, Rou Rou and Moling are so compatible. Moreover, your status is not good enough for the young master of the Gu family. Only Rou Rou, who has been pampered since she was young, is worthy of Moling.. You have to be understanding.”
