Chapter 87: Gu Family’s Future Mistress

Some quick-witted people had already figured it out. Song Shiyu’s words seemed to be reminding them that they would be taking the Meng family’s side by joining the Meng family’s banquet hall… That meant they would be going against the Gu family…

One was the Meng family, while the other was the Gu family. They knew which one to pick.

Hence, many people stopped in their tracks and did not continue walking into the banquet hall. At the same time, they took out their phones to contact the people who had already entered the banquet hall and got them to quickly come out. It was not worth offending the Gu family for a banquet.

Meng Wan bit her lip. She knew Gu Zheng’s ability too well. If Gu Zheng did not enter today, more than half of the Meng family’s guests would leave!

She quickly went forward to explain, “Brother Gu Zheng, it’s a misunderstanding. I didn’t… I didn’t say that Miss Qiao’s invitation was fake. Nuo Nuo made a mistake. Miss Qiao, you can enter. Of course, you can enter.”

Qiao Xi smiled at her. “Miss Meng, are you saying that I can enter now?”

Meng Wan’s heart was bleeding. If she did not let Qiao Xi in, Gu Zheng and the rest of the guests who were supposed to attend the banquet would leave. No matter how much she was pampered in the Meng family, she could not handle such a big problem.

Hence, she could only grit her teeth and smile. “Of course. Miss Qiao, you’re an honored guest of the Meng family.”

Qiao Xi had a faint smile on her face. She was just about to walk in when her hand was suddenly grabbed. Her heart skipped a beat. Damn, could it be that this scumbag was going back on his words?

Gu Zheng held Qiao Xi’s hand and looked at Meng Wan coldly. “Miss Meng, don’t tell me you think this is enough? Shouldn’t you say something to Xi Xi?”

Meng Wan’s face suddenly turned pale.

Gu Zheng slowly said, “Apologize.”

Meng Wan was about to go crazy. Gu Zheng actually wanted her to apologize to this b*tch, Qiao Xi, in front of so many people?! Her entire body trembled. “Brother Gu Zheng, I’ve already agreed to let Miss Qiao in. You can’t ignore our Meng family’s reputation. Our Meng and Gu families are old friends, but you want me to… give in to Miss Qiao…”

“Our two families’ relationship? The Meng family’s reputation? How much do you think the Meng family’s reputation is worth? How could you expect to escape unscathed after you disrespected my wife?”

Gu Zheng chuckled and said, “Or do you think that your Meng family’s strength has already surpassed our Gu family’s and you can trample on the Gu family’s future mistress?”

Meng Wan gasped.

Gu Zheng had pointed out Qiao Xi’s identity. One was Miss Qiao, while the other was Mrs. Gu. The two different titles represented two different classes. Meng Wan could yell at Miss Qiao, but she could not show Mrs. Gu the slightest disrespect because the person standing behind Mrs. Gu was the Gu family.

This was also the reason why Meng Wan had always addressed Qiao Xi as Miss Qiao. She did not want to admit Qiao Xi’s identity and the fact that Qiao Xi had so easily obtained the title she had been looking forward to for many years!

She understood what Gu Zheng meant, but she was unwilling to give up. What right did Qiao Xi have to be Mrs. Gu? What right did she have?! However, with so many people watching, the Meng family would definitely be doomed if she insisted on not apologizing.
