Qiao Rou could taste blood in her mouth, and she spat out a mouthful of it. Then, she gritted her teeth tightly. She would not apologize, and she would absolutely not lower her head in front of Qiao Xi.
Gu Moling ordered, “Apologize!”
Qiao Rou shook her head aggrievedly. “Brother Moling, I don’t want to! Could it be that you don’t love me anymore? Don’t do this… Please don’t force me. Qiao Xi wronged me. Why should I apologize?!”
Song Shijing was already counting down. “It’s fine if you don’t want to apologize, Miss Qiao. Gu Moling and the Qiao family will just have to pay the price for your stubbornness! Ten… Nine…”
When Qiao Rou looked up, she saw that everyone was looking at her fiercely. With their bloodshot eyes, it seemed they could not wait to poke holes in her. Those people, including her parents, grandmother, and Gu Moling, were all looking at her angrily. No one was willing to speak up for her.
“Qiao Xi! Qiao Xi! You b*tch! You did this to me! If I knew earlier, I would have killed you back then! I would have drowned you!”
“Four… Three…” Song Shijing’s voice was like a curse from hell.
Back then, the person who knelt on the floor and was bullied was Qiao Xi. Why was it her now?
It was unknown who kicked Qiao Rou from behind. Her body was weak to begin with, so this kick knocked her down. Everyone’s roars could be heard. “Apologize!”
“Two…”
Qiao Xi’s expression was indifferent. “I won’t force you if you’re unwilling to apologize. Ah Zheng, do as you deem fit.”
“Qiao Rou!
A furious roar sounded. Gu Moling’s mother aggressively rushed over and grabbed Qiao Rou’s hair. She slapped her already red and swollen cheek. After a few slaps, blood was already seeping out of the corner of Qiao Rou’s mouth.
“You b*tch! Hurry up and apologize to Xi Xi! Because of you, Moling’s pany has already been declared bankrupt. Moling Corporation is gone, do you know that?! This is all your fault!
“You did something wrong and are unwilling to apologize for it! Apologize to Xi Xi right now!”
“Go to hell! B*tch! You good-for-nothing! B*tch!” Gu Moling’s mother grabbed Qiao Rou’s hair and smashed her head against the floor with a bang Gu Moling’s mother had once looked down on Qiao Xi. Even though Qiao Xi had founded Moling Corporation, she was never kind to Qiao Xi. As far as she was concerned, Qiao Xi was just a daughter who was abandoned by the Qiao family and was utterly not worthy of her son.
Now, she was even more vicious to Qiao Rou than she was to Qiao Xi back then.
Qiao Rou was disheartened.
Those people who used to smile at her now abandoned her and even wanted to beat her to death!
Qiao Rou’s head kept hitting the floor. The skin on her forehead was already numb and she could not feel any pain. Her pale lips trembled slightly. “I’m sorry…”
Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows. “Are you talking to me?”
Gu Moling’s mother did not like Qiao Xi in the past and thought that Qiao Rou was obedient and sensible. Moreover, the Qiao family’s business would be handed to Qiao Rou in the future, so she wanted to make things difficult for Qiao Xi time and again. However, she had a flattering expression on her face now.
“Xi Xi, she’s already kowtowed to you and apologized. Look…”
Gu Moling’s mother raised her hand and slapped Qiao Rou again.
Qiao Rou’s eyes were bloodshot as she suppressed her anger. “I was wrong. I shouldn’t… shouldn’t have harmed you. I-I’m sorry.” “Sister, is this your way of apologizing? If you’re unwilling, I won’t force you. Why don’t you let Old Madam Qiao teach you how to apologize?”
Qiao Xi’s icy-cold gaze landed on Old Madam Qiao. Old Madam Qiao’s expression changed. “Qiao Xi, I’m your grandmother!”
On the other hand, Qiao Rou opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. She felt a splitting headache and fainted.
However, no one was willing to help her up. Qiao Zhenguo and Xu Mei stood there coldly and did not dare to move. They were afraid that Gu Zheng would vent his anger on them, so they lowered their heads and tried their best to blend into the background.
Gu Moling finally heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Qiao Rou had apologized to Qiao Xi before she fainted. Qiao Xi should be appeased now. Moreover, Qiao Xi still had him in her heart. She would not make things difficult for him.
Qiao Xi said slowly, “Old Madam Qiao, don’t be nervous. I’m a junior, after all. I don’t intend for you to apologize to me, but I have something to say to you.”
