617: Second Brother Is Here

Second Brother Is Here

Seeing this, Xu Anran said gently, "Sorry to have disturbed you. We'll leave now.0

"Mom, let it go. I don't think Sister will forgive us. We'll come back in a few days, okay?"

The butler looked at Xu Anran who was pretending to be weak and snorted. He closed the door and isolated the family outside.

The people from the Xu family looked disgusting.

…

The few of them got into the car unwillingly. Xia Yunlou and the two siblings wiped away their tears. "Boo-hoo… I'm Qiao Xi's biological mother! But your father actually asked me to lower my head and apologize to her. If this gets out, where will I put my dignity?!"

Xu Anran also shed a few tears as she sobbed. "Mom, I'm sorry… It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have to suffer like this. Actually… I should have left long ago."

"Anran! Don't say that. How could I bear to let you leave!" Xia Yunlou immediately stopped her. Then, she gritted his teeth and said, "For Qiao Xi's sake, your dad actually wants to divorce me! Why did I give birth to this jinx of a daughter?! Before she came back, the family was very harmonious. The moment she came back, the entire family fell into chaos!"

A trace of ruthlessness flashed past Xu Anran's eyes. "But… But what else can we do? For the sake of your marriage, we can only lower our heads and apologize. Why don't I go and beg Qiao Xi? I'll kneel down and beg for her forgiveness!"

Xia Yunlou held her hand tightly, and her eyes were filled with heartache. "Anran, how can I bear to let you kneel down to her? I have a better idea. I'll definitely make Qiao Xi forgive us."

She lowered her voice and whispered to Xu Anran.

"But…" Xia Yunlou was in a difficult position. "If that's the case, you won't be able to keep your identity as the eldest daughter of the Xu family anymore. It'll still be hard for you…"

Tears welled up in Xu Anran's eyes as she said pitifully, "It's alright. As long as she can forgive us and not ruin my parents' marriage, I don't mind being wronged."

…

Nine Heavens Villa.

When they arrived, it was already the afternoon and the sky was a little dark.

"The weather feels a little cold. I'd better not soak in the hot spring today," Qiao Xi muttered to herself, and as soon as she finished speaking, her slightly cold body fell into a wide and warm embrace.

Gu Zheng took off his coat and draped it over her. He wrapped her in his arms and chased away all the cold in an instant. "The scenery at the villa is beautiful. Let's walk together."

She nodded with a smile. Suddenly, she noticed a figure standing in the corner. She asked in surprise, "Second Brother?"

Luo Qing, who was dressed in black, was hiding in a corner. He lowered his head, and his black hair covered his eyes. He stood there like a statue as though the cold wind couldn't affect him at all.

Those gray eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. It was the symbol of the Luo family's bloodline to show their noble status.

He pursed his lips tightly. His handsome face was well-defined and filled with coldness. When he saw the young woman in front of him, he revealed a gentle smile.

Qiao Xi's eyes were filled with surprise as she anxiously said, "Gu Zheng, wait for me. I'll go talk to Second Brother."

Gu Zheng knew that she had four brothers. They were all big shots too. He would not be jealous of them. He nodded gently and stood at the same spot to wait for her.

Song Shijing watched Qiao Xi run over and asked in a low voice, "President, will you be unhappy to see Young Madam alone with other men?"

Gu Zheng looked indifferent and said casually, "Are you close to Song Shiyu?"

Song Shijing looked confused.

Gu Zheng said, "You know that Song Shiyu's salary has been deducted, so you're deciding to stand in unison with him, huh? You two are indeed close!"

Song Shijing: "…" 'President that's not what I meant. I just saw that you didn't look too good, so I asked."

Gu Zheng smiled.

He believed that there was only kinship between Qiao Xi and her brothers. There were no romantic feelings between them. It was just that when he saw her being intimate with other men, he still felt a little sour in his heart. This was an emotion that a normal man would have, but he would restrain himself. Otherwise, he would scare the young woman.

Moreover, he was clearly aware in his heart that Luo Qing and the other brothers treated Qiao Xi as their own younger sister and truly loved her. This was the most precious kinship in Qiao Xi's heart.
