Chapter 505 The Xia Family’s Secret

Xu Anran’s spirits had crumbled. Her body went weak as she fell onto the sofa. Her nails dug into her palms as she said in a suppressed voice, “I… I’ll explain it clearly later. Mom… saving Brother is more important now.”

Then, Xu Anran and Madam Xu ran out in a panic. The host picked up the equipment and was surprised to find that the live-stream could be switched off now.

This matter was trending again, but this time, things took a 180-degree change.

Xu Anran was an A-list celebrity, after all. There were naturally many people paying attention to this matter. Although the Xu family spent a lot of money to suppress the trending topics, they still could not suppress the criticisms from everyone.

Xu Anran’s expression was ugly. It was fine. She would apologize in two days. Everyone would forget about this matter after a while. The most important thing now was to save her brother.

However… the Xu family’s business might be affected.

Qiao Xi had caused huge trouble and caused the Xu family to be in such a mess. Her parents would definitely hate her. If they knew that Qiao Xi was their biological daughter, they would have no reason to acknowledge her.

Two days later.

Xu Anran posted an apology video on Weibo. In the video, she kept apologizing with teary eyes. Coupled with the fans clearing her name and the Xu family spending a lot of money, the matter gradually calmed down.

Qiao Xi took a look at the video. “Tsk tsk… As expected of an actress! Look at how pitifully she’s crying. She looks like she’s about to die! She’s just trying to say that her manager was the one who wanted her to fight for this role, and the matter of Xu Anyi getting his people to commit murder has nothing to do with her. She wants to say that she’s still that pure and flawless goddess in her fans’ eyes, huh?

“Her brother is still at the police station! How dare she say such things?”

Qiao Xi knew very well that the evidence was sufficient now. As long as she did not forgive Xu Anyi, he could not come out. Even if the Xu family was rich and powerful, they could not openly snatch someone from the police station. However, how could the Xu family, a wealthy family, tolerate such a family scandal?

Qiao Xi had just come downstairs when she saw Gu Zheng instructing Song Shijing on something. His eyes were cold, and Song Shijing nodded with a serious expression before turning to leave.

Gu Zheng stood up and walked in front of her. His voice was low. “I have something to tell you.”

Qiao Xi shook her head. “Forget it. I don’t want to hear about the Xu family. I’m annoyed. I want to send that kid from the Xu family to jail. It’s useless no matter what anyone says. Since he dared to get people to kill me, I won’t let him off!”

Gu Zheng smiled helplessly. “Don’t be so angry. This matter has to do with you. You’ll want to know.”

Qiao Xi raised her eyes and became interested as well. “Are you trying to say that I have a relationship with the Xu family? Even if the Xu family and I are related by blood, I don’t intend to acknowledge them. After all, Xu Anran has already caused a huge ruckus. It’ll be awkward for me to acknowledge her now. Why should I rush over to make others dislike me?”

Gu Zheng’s expression was indifferent as he handed the document in his hand to Qiao Xi. There was a photo in it with two women who looked similar. “Mom?”

Qiao Xi was surprised. This was indeed a photo of her mother when she was young, and the other woman who looked very similar to her mother was… Madam Xu?
