Chapter 483 Everyone Kicks A Man Who Is Down

Madam Qin’s eyes were filled with anger as she said to Qiao Xi, “Xi Xi, don’t be afraid. Godmother will stand up for you. I’m here to see who dares to bully you!”

With that said, everyone discussed softly.

“They’re from the Qin family in the capital!”

Madam Qin’s words were sharp. “You still want Xi Xi’s assets? Does your Qiao family have any shame?! The person who gave birth to Xi Xi was Madam Xia Yunqiu, and the person who raised Xi Xi was our Qin family. What right do you have to ask for money?”

“You!” Old Madam Qiao’s face was red from embarrassment. The servants beside her helped her stand up.

“Now, Qiao Xi’s backer is our Qin family, and there’s also the supremely powerful President Gu. I’ll tell you clearly today! The Qiao family can forget about taking a single cent from Xi Xi!”

The guests started whispering when they heard this. “So, Qiao Xi was adopted by the Qin family. No wonder she managed to get married to President Gu. It looks like they’ve known each other since they were young.”

“In my opinion, the Qiao family is in the wrong here. Although I have business dealings with the Qiao family, I have to be fair about this. Moreover, the Qiao family’s relatives have all been implicated now. If we still stand on the Qiao family’s side, we’ll definitely be implicated as well.”

Qiao Zhenguo pursed his lips tightly, his face livid. Just as he was about to retort, his friend, who had always been close to him, spoke first.

“President Qiao, I think Madam Qin is right. Mrs. Gu was abandoned when she was young. It was Madam Qin who raised her. As a father, you didn’t fulfill your responsibility to raise her. You… You don’t have the right to take Madam Xia’s dowry. I advise you to return the dowry to Mrs. Gu!”

Qiao Zhenguo immediately swallowed his words.

Gu Zheng sat on the sofa and smiled meaningfully. Now, those who were close to the Qiao family in the past could not wait to cut ties with the Qiao family.

“President Qiao, I didn’t expect you to abandon your biological daughter and let an illegitimate daughter squander Sister Yunqiu’s inheritance. You even chased Qiao Xi to the countryside. You’re too heartless as a father!”

“That’s right! We were wrong to believe that President Qiao was a loyal person. You’re so heartless to your own daughter, let alone us. You might scam us of a sum of money one day, so I’ve decided not to have any more dealings with the Qiao family!”

“We have to cut off all ties with the Qiao family!”

Qiao Zhenguo’s body went limp, and he swayed so much that he was about to faint. Old Madam Qiao gritted her teeth, but in the face of supreme power, she was powerless to retort.

The guests all denounced the Qiao family and declared that they would cut ties with them.

Actually, they did not think that Qiao Zhenguo was that heartless. It was just that he had offended Gu Zheng’s wife. This group of people naturally wanted to take the opportunity to curry favor with Gu Zheng, so they all reprimanded Qiao Zhenguo.

At this moment, Qiao Xi slowly stood up from the main seat and said coldly, “I presume everyone knows that this villa was left behind by my mother. I should have been the one to inherit it, but it’s been occupied by the Qiao family for so many years. They even stole the jewelry and company my mother left for me. It’s time for them to return everything to me!”
