Chapter 337: This Girl Is Not Gentle At All!

“Moling? Brother Moling.”

Qiao Rou called his name softly, her eyes filled with confusion.

Gu Moling returned to his senses and recalled Qiao Xi’s words. He looked at Qiao Rou suspiciously. “Rou Rou, why would Xi Xi mention the 80 million? She said…”

Before Qiao Rou could answer, Old Madam Qiao grunted coldly. “It’s all because Qiao Xi is jealous of Rou Rou. Rou Rou saved all this money herself. What problem could there be?”

Gu Moling thought about it and felt that Old Madam Qiao was right. Rou Rou had taken on many endorsements over the years. Coupled with the company’s earnings, it was not strange for her to fork out 40 million yuan.

It was just that Xi Xi did not seem to be spouting nonsense. Did she really just casually say a few words out of anger?

“Brother Moling, don’t you believe in me?”

Qiao Rou’s eyes turned red, and she was about to cry.

Her body went weak, and her eyes were filled with sorrow. “Everyone’s scolding me now. They’re saying that I’m a mistress. They even think that I, an illegitimate daughter, couldn’t have so much money.

“I can’t compare to my sister, but this money is from my endorsement fees and salary. I couldn’t bear to spend it and saved it all… Brother Moling, that’s really my money!”

Seeing her cry, Gu Moling’s heart ached. “Rou Rou, stop crying. I’m not suspecting you. Qiao Xi must be spouting nonsense.”

He comforted her softly, saying, “Rou Rou, your body is weak. You should quickly go and rest. No matter what, we’re the ones who donated 80 million yuan. Chancellor Li will acknowledge our contributions.”

Qiao Rou immediately heaved a sigh of relief and nodded obediently.

She leaned into Gu Moling’s arms, her eyes filled with resentment.

The 40 million yuan was indeed not hers, but no one would know where she got it from because no one would think that she was related to that person.

She could donate 40 million to Li City University, but Qiao Xi could not. She had won in this aspect.

On the other side, Qiao Xi was lying on the rocking chair in the lounge and drinking tea comfortably. After fighting with Qiao Rou for a long time, her body was slightly tired. When she finally got to relax, she was feeling a little tired.

When Gu Zheng entered, she had already fallen asleep on the rocking chair.

He stopped in his tracks and quietly walked closer.

Gu Zheng bent down, and a faint fragrance entered his nose.

After he was poisoned, his sense of smell gradually deteriorated, so he almost could not smell it.

However, when they met at the Civil Affairs Bureau that time, he clearly smelled the light and elegant fragrance on Qiao Xi’s body. It did not smell like flowers or spices. It was a special fruit blend that made one’s mood lighter.

At this moment, Qiao Xi’s eyes were closed and her eyelashes were fluttering like fans. Her delicate skin was glowing under the sunlight, and her entire body was curled up like a baby.

Gu Zheng felt that Qiao Xi looked so gentle at this moment. She gave others the impulse to hug her.

He smiled and took off his jacket to gently cover her body. He also felt that it would be uncomfortable if she curled her body up like this, so he held her in his arms and adjusted his posture while stroking her hair.
