Chapter 535 Crying Children Are Given Candy
Xu Anran was weak, and she shed tears aggrievedly. “I’m fine… Sister doesn’t have to apologize. She only slapped me a few times. It’s okay.”
When Xia Yunlou saw her daughter’s aggrieved appearance, the anger in her heart burned even more. “Qiao Xi! You’re too heartless. This is your sister, yet you still dared to do such a thing. You actually learned such vicious methods when you were wandering outside! Get out of the Xu family right now. Our Xu family doesn’t want a vicious daughter like you!”
Everyone looked at Qiao Xi with puzzled expressions.
Qiao Xi stood there silently for a short while before sighing helplessly.
“Sigh! Miss Xu, don’t malign me. You were the one who suddenly fell to the floor. Why did you say that I hit you? Don’t tell me you’re dizzy from the pain!”
Qiao Xi said casually, “You said that I slapped you a few times and want me to apologize to you, but… Everyone, look at her face. Does it look like she has been slapped?”
Everyone took a closer look and saw that Xu Anran’s face was indeed extremely smooth. There were no traces of her ever being slapped. However, her tears were streaming down her face, making her look like she was in pain.
Qiao Xi sneered. “Just because Miss Xu is crying, Madam Xu is forcing me to kneel and apologize to Miss Xu. If I really return to the Xu family, I don’t know how much more I’ll have to suffer. Since that’s the case, it’s fine if I don’t return home.”
Everyone instantly understood. Madam Shen frowned and snorted. “It seems that Miss Xu is just pretending!”
Xu Anran’s face was pale.
She was really not pretending this time. Qiao Xi had clearly slapped her a few times just now. For some reason, her chest was hurting too. Why did everyone not believe her?
Xu Anran fell to the floor aggrievedly, and her eyes trickled down. She looked so pitiful that it made one’s heart ache.
She said softly, “Xi Xi, you did slap me a few times just now. Now, you’re saying that I wronged you. You… How can you do this to
me?!”
Her eyes were filled with sorrow as she sobbed weakly. “President Gu, you saw it too. Xi Xi hit me. Are you going to protect her?”
Xu Zhi and Gu Zheng walked over together. They looked at Xu Anran, who was lying on the floor, then at the crowd. They immediately frowned.
When Xia Yunlou saw Gu Zheng coming over, she immediately pretended to be sad. “Xi Xi, you’ve been wandering outside for so many years. My heart ached for you, but I didn’t expect you to have learned so many bad things during your time outside the family. It’s fine if you bully Anran at home, but even when you’re in the Shen family’s residence, you still dare to beat up your sister. You’re really lawless!”
Xu Anran’s eyes were filled with tears. “Madam Shen, it’s my fault. Even though my sister hit me, I shouldn’t have made things worse. I’m sorry… I’ve let everyone down.”
Xia Yunlou’s heart ached when she saw her compromise. She berated, “Qiao Xi, hurry up and apologize!”
Everyone did not dare to make a sound, but Madam Shen’s expression turned cold. She was about to speak when Qiao Xi spoke first. “Madam Xu, you said that I hit Xu Anran. Did you see it with your own eyes? They say that crying children are given candy, and I guess it’s true. As long as Xu Anran cries, will Madam Xu believe her no matter what she says?”
She did hit Xu Anran this time, but even if she did not, Madam Xu would still reprimand her in public all the same as long as Xu Anran cried.
Instead of being wronged, Qiao Xi might as well teach Xu Anran a lesson to vent her anger. Xia Yunlou glared fiercely at Qiao Xi. “What else could it be? Anran is so obedient. Could it be that she’d lie? You’re just jealous of Anran, so you brought her to a remote place to hit her. But you’re still unwilling to admit it!”
Qiao Xi said slowly, “Miss Xu, do you know who called me out?”
Xia Yunlou immediately choked.
Qiao Xi grunted coldly. “I was sleeping in my room when Madam Xu woke me up and called me over in the middle of the night.
“After that, when I was about to leave, it was Miss Xu who asked me out for a chat. I didn’t expect to be brought here either. Then, Madam Xu rushed over to accuse me. Coincidentally, so many people came over soon after.”
Everyone’s eyes landed on Xia Yunlou. She hurriedly explained, “Anran was just looking for you to have a chat with you. You’re sisters
“Chatting in the middle of the night? Madam Xu, you really know how to find excuses.” Qiao Xi sneered.
