Song Shijing and Song Shiyu followed him respectfully. Xu Zhi also came up to them in fear.
Gu Zheng walked to Qiao Xiâs side and looked at Xia Yunlou with a mocking gaze before continuing, âMadam Xu, you donât know what youâve done, so let me remind you.â
The banquet hall instantly fell silent. Everyone gasped and felt the air freeze.
Xia Yunlouâs heart thumped, and she didnât 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. âPresident Gu, my sister has indeed suffered a lot all these years, but my mother didnât want her to suffer either! My mother doesnât want to see this happen, so you canât blame her! Sheâs the one whoâs the most hurt from this!â
Gu Zheng smirked.
Xia Yunlou hurriedly seized the opportunity. âThatâs right! Newborn babies all look similar. I didnât know that the babies were replaced. After I found out about it, I went everywhere to look for Xi Xi. Whatâs wrong with the relationship Anran and I share? Itâs fine if Xi Xi blames me, and it doesnât matter what she says to me in private. Why must she embarrass me in front of everyone?
âPresident Gu, you said that Iâve done something wrong. I know that Xi Xi doesnât 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 didnât know anything. Sheâs 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, wonât I be too heartless?!â
Everyone felt that Xia Yunlouâs 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 couldnât Qiao Xi accept her? Wasnât it good for the two sisters to have each otherâs company?
Xu Anyiâs face was filled with disdain. âQiao Xi! Youâre blaming everything on Anran. You think that Anran stole your identity, so youâre unhappy and want to cause chaos in this family!â
Xu Anranâs eyes were filled with tears. âXi Xi, donât blame me or make things difficult for me. Itâs all my fault. I should have left this family a long time ago. As long as I leave, you wonât cause trouble anymore, right?â
Xia Yunlou hugged Xu Anran and cried.
Unexpectedly, Gu Zheng sneered and asked coldly, âMadam Xu, have you investigated who swapped the two babies? Do you know who the culprit is?â
Xia Yunlouâs expression changed as she hurriedly explained, âThe nurse accidentally carried the wrong baby. Newborns all look similar. I donât know which nurse it was, soâ¦â
Gu Zheng interrupted coldly, âMadam Xu, I remember you saying that the Xu familyâs enemy swapped the baby and found a random baby girl to replace Xi Xi. Later, Madam Xia Yunqiu found out Xi Xiâs whereabouts and adopted her.
âWhatâs the matter? Have you forgotten what you said?â
The netizens in the live broadcast also posted comments: [Yeah! I remember what Madam Xu said previously!]
[Wow! The domineering president! Although I canât see his face, I can tell from his voice that heâs a handsome man!]
[This person seems to be Qiao Xiâs 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 Yunlouâs body went weak as she fell onto the sofa. Her mind was a mess. âI-I remembered wrongly. It seems that my enemy replaced Xi Xi. My mind was muddled.â
âDid you remember wrongly? Do you Xu mean to say that Xi Xi was swapped by your enemy?â Gu Zheng asked.
Xia Yunlouâs expression darkened as she gritted her teeth. âYes, Iâm sure that Xi Xi was replaced by my enemy. I was very sad to know about this!â
Gu Zhengâs voice turned cold. âMadam Xu, let me tell you the truth! Song Shiyu.â
âPresident!â
Song Shiyu looked serious as he took out the recording pen in his hand. âMadam Xu, why did you forget what you said so quickly? If youâve forgotten, we can remind you.â
Xia Yunlou suddenly shuddered and pounced over to snatch the recording pen. Song Shiyu turned around to avoid her and pressed the button.
