Translator:Henyee TranslationsEditor:Henyee Translations

Anyway, your reputation has already been ruined. It doesn't matter if others misunderstand you. But Rou Rou is our Qiao family's lucky star. Her reputation can't be ruined. As long as you give Moling to Rou Rou and pretend nothing happened, everything will be settled.

Hence, Qiao Xi wanted Xu Mei to have a taste of taking the blame for others.

Mrs. Xu, now that your reputation has been ruined, shouldn't you feel honored to sacrifice yourself for the Qiao family and your daughter? Or would you rather see your daughter get jailed and the Qiao family's company face bankruptcy than sacrifice yourself?

Xu Mei's face was pale, and she was trembling all over. Her eyes were filled with fear. Zhenguo, I'm your wife. I represent the Qiao family. If I bear this crime, then the Qiao family

Just then, Black Tide's voice slowly rang out. President Qiao, for Qiao Rou's sake, you were willing to abandon your elder daughter. Xu Mei is just your lover and not the true Madam Qiao. Don't you want to save your daughter?

Qiao Zhenguo widened his eyes and suddenly reacted. That's right. Xu Mei hasn't married me. She's not Madam Qiao and can't represent the Qiao family. Miss Black Tide is right! Xu Mei, only you can bear this responsibility.

Rou Rou is your biological daughter. Are you going to watch her reputation go down the drain?

Black Tide imitated Xu Mei's tone. Yes, Qiao Rou is your own flesh and blood. As her mother, don't you want to help her? If you don't take the blame for her, her life will be ruined. You're too cruel!

Xu Mei's pupils constricted as she exclaimed in horror, No! No

No, why should she take the blame?

Qiao Xi knew that as long as Qiao Zhenguo listened to these words, it didn't matter whether Xu Mei was willing or not. She couldn't escape.

Back then, when her family asked her to take the blame for Qiao Rou, they were very confident. Why was Xu Mei showing such a big reaction when it was her turn?

Qiao Xi hung up the phone in a good mood.

At this moment, Gu Zheng was flipping through a document. Qiao Xi looked over curiously. What are you looking at?

Gu Zheng replied indifferently, You want to read the tender document?

Qiao Xi had a look of admiration on her face. As expected of President Gu. You're still so diligent after returning home. If you're not rich, who else can be?

I'm sorry, you might have misunderstood. Gu Zheng smiled and tapped his fingers on the document. His eyes narrowed slightly. I'm not doing this for work. I want to set a trap.

Setting up a trap?

Qiao Xi leaned closer and looked at the document before muttering to herself, This plot of land is to develop a hot spring villa. There's a natural hot spring surrounded by mountains and lush vegetation there. It's far away from the clamor of the city and is a good place for the people of Li City to go on vacation. Have you taken a fancy to this plot of land?

Gu Zheng shook his head. The Lu family has taken a liking to it.

Qiao Xi frowned. But the current person in charge of the Lu family is Old Master Lu, Miss Lu Qingyun's father. You

It has nothing to do with me. Gu Zheng's eyes darkened.

Qiao Xi's heart ached. You're right. Old Master Lu is also a fool. He was biased toward Lu Xiang back then and is still targeting you now. He clearly knows that you are

Qiao Xi paused and looked at Gu Zheng's expression. She really didn't want to hurt Gu Zheng, so she changed the topic. Are you bidding against the Lu family this time?

Gu Zheng nodded.

Qiao Xi continued, Then are you confident in obtaining this plot of land?

The man smiled meaningfully. Mrs. Gu, I do want to bid, but I don't intend to take this plot of land.

Qiao Xi came to a sudden realization. Gu Zheng's wealth was comparable to that of a country. Who would dare compete with him for the things that he took a fancy to? But the Lu family was different. As long as it was something that Gu Zheng took a fancy to, they would definitely want to interfere.

As the Lu family wanted to hide the fact that Gu Zheng was Lu Qingyun's biological son, they had to suppress Gu Zheng. As long as Gu Zheng bid for it, the Lu family would fight him for it.

Gu Zheng did not want this plot of land at all. He only wanted to raise the price.

However, ten billion is still worth it. After all, this plot is rich in resources and the scenery is pleasant. It'll definitely not be a loss if it's developed into a hot spring villa.

That's right.. Gu Zheng smirked.
