Chapter 352: Drive Qiao Rou Out Of The Qiao Family!

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Qiao Xi’s eyes were filled with doubt.

Gu Zheng smiled faintly and said indifferently, “What if there’s a huge ancient tomb underground?”

Qiao Xi suddenly trembled.

If there was a huge ancient tomb underground, the country would take back the right to develop the land and seal off the area. They would only compensate the Lu family based on the initial valuation of the land. By then, the Lu family would lose billions.

In the end, the Lu family would not get anything and even lose a huge sum of money for nothing.

Song Shiyu sighed.

Why did this damned man tell Young Madam about this? How could a gentle woman like Young Madam like such a scheming man?

Unexpectedly, Qiao Xi suddenly looked up with little red hearts in her eyes. “Senior, you’re too amazing! If that’s the case, the Lu family will suffer a double loss and will definitely be angered to death! So, who will the Lu family send to compete with you this time?”

Gu Zheng smiled. “Guess?”

Needless to say, it must be Lu Yan!

The next morning.

The news of Qiao Rou accusing her sister of being a mistress and then getting humiliated after being exposed for embezzling 40 million yuan spread throughout Li City.

Last night, Qiao Xi created some evidence to prove that Qiao Rou didn’t steal the money. Instead, it was her manager who transferred the money to Xu Mei. In other words, this money had nothing to do with Qiao Rou.

Hence, the police released Qiao Rou. She originally planned to sneak home, but as soon as she appeared, a group of reporters swarmed over.

When the reporters saw Qiao Rou, they rushed over and asked lots of questions. Qiao Rou’s head almost exploded.

“Miss Qiao Rou, may I ask if the money has anything to do with you? Is your manager taking the blame for you? She probably doesn’t have the ability to move Second Young Master Gu’s assets around.”

“What does this have to do with your mother? Is she the mastermind?”

“Miss Qiao Rou, how are you feeling now that your manager and your mother have helped you out of your situation?”

Being surrounded by the crowd, Qiao Rou couldn’t move an inch and was extremely flustered.

A reporter stuffed a microphone in front of her. “Miss Qiao Rou, you embezzled 40 million yuan and even stepped on your sister in public. Was it your mother, Xu Mei, who ordered you to do this?”

Seeing that Qiao Rou didn’t respond for a long time, the reporter stared at Qiao Zhenguo and Old Madam Qiao.

“President Qiao, Old Madam Qiao, I heard that Miss Qiao Xi was driven out of the Qiao family because she stole 1,000 yuan. Is this true or are you trying to frame her?”

Everyone immediately pointed their cameras at the two of them.

One of the reporters’ words were sharp. “Everyone knows that the Qiao family’s company and assets were left behind by Miss Qiao Xi’s birth mother, Ms. Xia Yunqiu. Ms. Xia Yunqiu gave all her assets to Miss Qiao Xi in her will, so there shouldn’t be anything wrong with her taking her family’s money, right? Qiao Xi merely took her own money, yet she was chased out of the house by all of you, whereas Qiao Rou took over something that wasn’t hers and even embezzled 40 million. However, you guys have nothing to say about that?”

Old Madam Qiao immediately refuted, “These two things can’t be linked!”

The reporter wasn’t polite with her and said indignantly, “Even if Miss Qiao Xi stole the money back then, she only took 1,000 yuan and had to pay such a huge price when you abandoned her in the countryside. A young girl who had no relatives was left to suffer so much. Now that Qiao Rou embezzled 40 million yuan, how are you going to deal with her? Are you going to chase her to the countryside and let her fend for herself?”

“That’s right! President Qiao, Old Madam Qiao, both of you are so heartless toward the first wife’s daughter but you haven’t done anything to the illegitimate daughter who made a big mistake. You’re too biased! Are you driving Miss Qiao Xi away on purpose so that you can take all her property and assets?”

Old Madam Qiao’s face was ashen. “You…”

“Back then, you said that the Qiao family’s rules were strict and would absolutely not tolerate thieves. You even said that you would sever ties with Qiao Xi. Now that Qiao Rou stole 40 million, the Qiao family should immediately chase her out of the house!”

Faced with everyone’s questioning, Old Madam Qiao shouted angrily, “Don’t talk nonsense. Rou Rou didn’t steal anything. Her manager did it. It has nothing to do with her!”

The reporter snorted in disdain.. “Old Madam Qiao, do you think we’re all idiots? Everyone knows who did it. Don’t think that just because Qiao Rou found someone else to take the blame that everyone will think this matter has nothing to do with her!”
