The atmosphere instantly became awkward. The corners of Xia Yunlouâs and Xu Anranâs mouths twitched.
Xia Yunlou forcefully endured the anger in her heart and gritted her teeth, saying, âQiao Xi, if you donât get a divorce now, youâll regret it sooner or later!â
Xu Anran also tried to persuade her. âSister, Iâm just afraid that youâll get hurt in the future. How can you refuse? You and President Gu are really not compatible. You should let a more outstanding woman marry him.â Qiao Xi was angered to the point of laughing. She raised her eyebrows and said, âThe âmore outstanding womanâ youâre referring to canât possibly be you, right? Do you want to marry Gu Zheng? Is that why Madam Xu publicly announced that you like Gu Zheng?â
Xia Yunlou said self-righteously, âAnran is a daughter of a noble family. You grew up in the countryside and are extremely vulgar. President Gu still has some feelings for you now because youâre good-looking. In a few years, heâll be completely sick of you. President Gu wonât even look at you then, but Anran is different. She has knowledge and means. She can make President Gu completely fall for her.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Pfft!
Song Shiyu could not help but choke.
Qiao Xi looked at Xia Yunlou with an icy cold gaze. âYouâre really confident!â
Xia Yunlou knew that Qiao Xi was mocking her, and her face turned livid.
Xu Anran was silent for a moment before saying gently, âSister, Iâve actually liked President Gu for a long time. After Mom found out, she couldnât bear to see me not being able to be with him, so sheâs advising you to get a divorce.
âMoreover, youâre not compatible with President Gu. Instead of getting hurt by him in the future, why donât you get a divorce as soon as possible to prevent anything bad from happening? Moreover, you have another marriage agreement to fulfill. Since youâre not suitable to be Mrs. Gu, just let me have President Gu, alright?â
Qiao Xi widened her eyes. She was shocked by the shamelessness of this mother and daughter pair.
Qiao Xi was not the only one who was angry. When Song Shiyu heard Xu Anran asking Qiao Xi to let her have the president, Song Shiyu wished he could rush in and beat her up.
Qiao Xi sneered. âMadam Xu, itâs not that I donât want to, but President Gu likes beautiful women with fair skin and long legs like me. However, my sisterâs appearance is a little inferior to mine. Gu Zheng probably wonât be willing to settle for less. Even if I divorce him, Anran wonât get a chance!â
Upon hearing this, Xu Anranâs heart trembled as her face turned pale.
Xia Yunlou was angered to the point of gnashing his teeth. She raised the teacup Qiao Xi had just used and slammed it on the floor with a mad roar.
âShut up! How is your sister inferior to you?! Not only is your sister beautiful, but sheâs also a top socialite. Sheâs countless times better than you! Youâre the ugly one!â
Qiao Xiâs expression turned cold.
What a good mother! For the sake of an adopted daughter, she was actually forcing her biological daughter to divorce her husband. She even said that Xu Anran was so much better than her.
Qiao Xiâs eyes looked indifferent as she said slowly, âThatâs true. Iâm your daughter, after all. Iâm ugly because your genes are too inferior!â
âYou!â Xia Yunlou was unable to retort, and she was angered to the point her face flushed red. She picked up the teacup on the table and threw it at Qiao Xi. âYou little b*tch! You still dare to scold me? Hurry up and apologize to Anran and me! How is Anran not as good-looking as you? Look at your shameless appearance. You canât even compare to a strand of Anranâs hair. You came out from a slum⦠Ah!â
Suddenly, a stone flew in from outside the door and hit Xia Yunlouâs wrist.
Gu Zheng slowly entered with a cold gaze. His voice was calm but carried a faint chill. âMadam Xu, since youâve insulted my wife to this extent, thereâs no need for us to continue talking. Xi Xi, letâs go.â
When Xu Zhi heard this, he hurriedly rushed over. âXia Yunlou! Youâre being silly!â
Xia Yunlou panicked and could not help but look at Gu Zheng. She felt that his gaze was like a sharp sword, scaring her until she trembled.
Gu Zhengâs expression was calm, but his deep eyes were suffocating her.
Xia Yunlou pretended to be strong and calm. âI⦠I was just joking with Xi Xi. President Gu, donât misunderstand. Xi Xi is a little naughty. As her mother, itâs fine for me to reprimand her, right? This is for her own good.â Xu Zhi quickly roared, âI told you to shut up! Did you hear me?!â
