Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself Chapter 622 - Mrs. Gu Pretends To Be Soft

Chapter 622: Mrs. Gu Pretends To Be Soft

Suddenly, a shout came from the courtyard. Following that, a slim figure rushed out with an umbrella in her hand. She was so weak that it seemed like she would be blown away by the wind.

Her eyes were filled with shock as she exclaimed, “Mom! Sister! It’s raining so heavily. Why are you guys here? Why aren’t you guys carrying umbrellas?! Your clothes are all wet. It’s all my fault for falling asleep and causing you guys to be drenched in the rain. If I knew that you guys were coming to look for me, I would definitely have sent someone to fetch you!”

Xu Anran instantly choked up and looked at the crying Qiao Xi with disbelief.

How could this be possible?! Why would Qiao Xi come out?

Qiao Xi had guessed Xu Anran’s intentions. Wasn’t she trying to use public opinion to attack her and force her to take the initiative to seek peace? However, she wouldn’t fall for this trick. When it came to pretending to be weak and frail, she was better at this. She would pretend to be an obedient and sensible daughter in the live broadcast.

Moreover, before rus.h.i.+ng to the door, Qiao Xi had deliberately put on makeup to make her seem sickly. Even if she was drenched in the rain, her makeup wouldn’t be removed. At this moment, her entire face was deathly pale, and her appearance was extremely weak.

Qiao Xi looked at the mother and daughter in surprise. Even the best actress out there would feel ashamed of her inferior acting skills.

“Sister! I’m sorry. It’s all my fault for letting you and Mom get drenched in the rain. Why didn’t you call me before you came? I didn’t even know! Boo-hoo… It’s all my fault. Why did I have to fall sick and only wake up at this time?

“It’s also because I’m sick that Ah Zheng brought me here to recuperate for a few days. He even instructed the maids not to disturb me. Who knew that you would come at this time? The maids didn’t dare to disturb me, so you guys ended up getting drenched in the rain. Quickly come in. Don’t catch a cold.”

Xia Yunlou looked at Qiao Xi in surprise and sized her up. Her lips were pale, and she would cough from time to time. Her eyes were slightly red, and she didn’t look like she was pretending.

Before the two of them could speak, Qiao Xi suddenly sneezed. Tears trickled down her face as she cried, “Mom! Why aren’t you going in? I know you blame me for coming out too late, sob sob sob sob… You can hit me or scold me, but don’t hurt your own body. I beg you, quickly go into the house and avoid the rain, okay?”

Qiao Xi covered her mouth and pretended to be in despair as her body swayed weakly.

The maid at the side rushed forward to support her and exclaimed, “Young Madam! Your body is so cold! You’re already sick. This cold wind is going to make it worse.”

Qiao Xi’s voice trembled. “It… It’s alright.”

The maid was also a smart person. She followed Qiao Xi’s plan and said, “Young Madam has been running a fever for the entire day. She has only slept for a short while, but when she heard that her relatives had come to visit, she rushed out without even putting on her coat. She doesn’t even care about her health.”

Qiao Xi said weakly and gently, “It doesn’t matter to me. I can’t let Mom and Sister get drenched in the rain again. If I don’t come out to welcome them, they’ll be angry. It’s all my fault for being too disappointing. Why did I fall sick?! Please don’t blame me and quickly come into the house with me, alright?”

Everyone watching the live broadcast was stunned.

[Don’t you guys think that the real daughter of the Xu family looks quite gentle? She doesn’t seem to have any intention of chasing Xu Anran away. In fact, she’s quite enthusiastic toward her.]

[Why do I feel so sad? The daughter who was previously wandering outside has finally found her biological parents but has to be careful and please her family. She’s afraid that she’ll be hated by them. She’s clearly seriously ill, yet she still braved the heavy rain to welcome her mother and sister. She’s simply afraid that Madam Xu and Xu Anran will blame her. How can such a pitiful young lady chase Xu Anran out of the house?]

[Come to think of it, it’s a fact that Xu Anran had taken over her ident.i.ty and enjoyed everything that should have belonged to her. After living with the Xu family for 20 years, even though she has returned to the Xu family, it’ll be difficult for her to integrate into the Xu family. If Xu Anran doesn’t move out of the Xu family, the real daughter’s life in the Xu family will be very difficult. I think it’s reasonable to chase Xu Anran away.]

[I think so too. Although this isn’t Xu Anran’s fault, she did steal the ident.i.ty and family of the real heiress, after all. She should have left from the beginning. She can’t blame the real heiress!]

Xu Anran looked at the comments in the live broadcast with hatred in her eyes.

This b*tch actually tricked her!
