âAnran was beaten up by Qiao Xi. Qiao Xi must know that there are no surveillance cameras here and thatâs why sheâs so arrogant. We canât let her off!â
As soon as Xia Yunlou finished speaking, Madam Shen sneered. âMadam Xu, youâre really strange. You always protect your adopted daughter but never listen to your biological daughterâs explanation. Since you donât believe me, itâs easy to settle this. Butler Liu!â
Butler Liu immediately walked forward.
Madam Shen instructed, âGo! Get the doctor to examine Miss Xu!â
Xia Yunlouâs gaze froze. Before she could say anything, she heard Madam Shen say sarcastically, âRight, you must find a respectable doctor to prevent Madam Xu from saying that Iâm protecting Xi Xi!â
Everyone looked at Xia Yunlou and her daughter in disdain.
Putting aside whether Xu Anran was beaten up or not, she must have ulterior motives for secretly going to the surveillance room. She must have something up her sleeve.
No matter whether Qiao Xi had hit someone or not, it was all Xu Anranâs fault. Otherwise, why would she be beaten up after asking Qiao Xi out in the middle of the night and setting all this up?
However, Madam Xu was really infuriating. She was biased toward her adopted daughter. If it were not for Madam Shen speaking up, Qiao Xi would probably have a bad reputation after being misunderstood for having beaten her sister.
âWhatâs there to check?! There are only a few tears on Miss Xuâs face. There are no red marks at all. She doesnât look like she was beaten up at all!â
âThatâs right! Madam Xu, your adopted daughter is really⦠scheming! She secretly went to the surveillance room just to set up this show, right?â âMr. Xu, your Xu family is also considered a noble family. I didnât expect your family to be so unethical. You actually let your wife and adopted daughter fool around in the Shen familyâs residence! Later, the doctor will come to check on Miss Xu. If she doesnât have any injuries, Iâll see how youâll explain it then!â
Xu Zhiâs face was ashen.
He sized up Xu Anran. The sides of her cheeks were still smooth with no red marks on them. There were no injuries on her body either, but she fell to the floor and looked to be in pain. It was really hard to believe.
Xu Zhi frowned. âXu Anran, what are you doing? Hurry up and go back!â
Xu Anran widened her eyes in disbelief. âDad, you have to believe me. My sister really hit me. For some reason, my chest hurts too!â
âThere were surveillance cameras here, but⦠But for some reason, theyâre gone now. You have to believe me! Iâm telling the truth!â
At this moment, a madam stood up, and her eyes were filled with anger. âItâs really annoying! Madam Shen, I donât understand why you invited such people to the Shen familyâs banquet. Now that Miss Xu has admitted that she went to the surveillance room, itâs obvious that Miss Xu set up a trap to wrong Qiao Xi!â
Butler Liu explained, âMadam invited the Xu family because she thought that the Xu and Xia families were both wealthy and noble families. She didnât expect them to be so unscrupulous.â Madam Shen instructed coldly, âButler Liu, since everyone thinks so, then send them out. Our Shen family holds banquets for entertainment. We canât tolerate such a scheming adopted daughter who causes trouble. Moreover, I invited the Xu family. An adopted daughter canât be considered a member of the Xu family.â
Xu Anran was about to faint.
She did not expect Madam Shen to say these words in public. She did not show her any respect at all.
Even now, she still could not understand why Madam Shen would be so biased toward Qiao Xi. There were clearly surveillance cameras. As long as they checked the surveillance footage, they would be able to confirm that Qiao Xi had hit her. However, Madam Shen did not admit that there were surveillance cameras here.
Wait!
Xu Anranâs eyes suddenly widened as if she had realized something. No wonder Qiao Xi was so decisive and fearless when she hit her. It turned out that she had known all alongâ¦
This b*tch had already guessed her plan and joined forces with Madam Shen to put on an act. However, she still fell into this trap.
She was forcefully slapped a few times, yet everyone suspected her instead! Qiao Xi had really played a good move!
Qiao Xiâs gaze was indifferent as she silently looked at Xu Anran.
Did she think she was going too far? She was just giving her a taste of her own medicine.
If she did not have a backer and was just an ordinary country girl, how could she face Xu Anranâs repeated attacks after being found by the Xu family?
