Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

Chapter 1297 Who's Bullying Who?

Qiao Xi was instantly speechless. This group of people had really been brainwashed by He Wenxian. All these years, He Wenxian had always maintained a good image, so she had an extremely good reputation among socialites. She treated others gently, was capable, and was not arrogant. Many men treated her as a goddess in their hearts. They came to the charity banquet for the sake of approaching this goddess. In order to show a good performance in front of He Wenxian, they had already lost their minds at this moment.

'Don't think that you can bully others just because you're wearing the real necklace.'

Was this what a human should say? He Wenxian indiscriminately said that she was wearing a fake. Now that she had been slapped in the face, she was still pretending to be innocent in front of everyone. Who was bullying who?

Actually, these people knew very well that He Wenxian was not as kind as she looked on the surface. At that time, He Wenxian's words were clearly filled with mockery, but many men saw He Wenxian through rose-colored lenses. Even if she did something bad, they would find all kinds of reasons to defend her.

When He Wenxian arrogantly suggested letting Qiao Xi wear her necklace, it was because He Wenxian was being kind. Now that Qiao Xi said the same words, she was being unreasonable and deliberately targeting He Wenxian.

How unreasonable!

The young man sized up Qiao Xi. He had to admit that this woman was really beautiful, but her character was too domineering and unforgiving. Moreover, her identity was not noble enough, so she was completely unqualified to marry him. Hence, Miss He was more suitable for him.

Then, an inexplicable sense of confidence suddenly surged in his heart. "Miss Qiao, you're different from Miss He. She wanted to donate the necklace, while you're wearing it to show off. The two of you are of different natures, so you have no right to blame her!"

Qiao Xi raised her eyes slightly and said casually, "Then I'll really have to disappoint you. I wore the necklace today for the sake of donating it."

As soon as these words were spoken, the man instantly choked. He Wenxian, who was at the side, also widened her eyes. Her eyes were filled with surprise and joy. If Qiao Xi donated this necklace, then this necklace would still fall into her hands in the end. The charity banquet was just a cover. It was just a tool for the He family to earn money.

However, if Qiao Xi donated such expensive jewelry, she would definitely be in the limelight at the charity banquet.

He Wenxian's delighted expression was mixed with a trace of unwillingness. She said in surprise, "Xi Xi, are you really donating to Scorching Heart? This necklace is worth 150 million. Are you sure?"

"I'm sure. If you could have the idea of donating the necklace, why can't I? Besides, I don't lack this necklace," Qiao Xi said casually.

He Wenxian bit her lip. Lan Rong immediately stood up to defend the injustice. "Wenxian wanted to donate the necklace, and now you want to donate it too. You just want to copy Wenxian. Why are you so annoying?!"

Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows and said slowly, "Didn't everyone come to the charity banquet today to donate money and things? Could it be that just because Miss He wanted to donate the necklace, no one else can donate it?

"Did the He family come up with such a special rule for this charity banquet? This necklace is worth 150 million. I want to donate it so that schools can be built on the mountains. What does it have to do with Miss He? This necklace belongs to me. Do I need Miss He's permission to donate it to anyone?

"Or perhaps…" Qiao Xi paused, and her tone carried a trace of bewitchment. "Miss He, do you not want me to donate to the villages in the mountaineous area or see schools being built there?"

He Wenxian's face was pale while her mind buzzed. Qiao Xi was slandering her!

All these years, the He family relied on charity work to become famous. If others knew that Miss He was such a two-faced person, everyone would wonder if the real purpose of the He family's charity banquet was really for the sake of the people in trouble or to flatter themselves.

He Wenxian suppressed the anger in her heart and said with difficulty, "Xi Xi, t-that's not what I meant. I'm just reminding you that this necklace is very expensive. If you really want to donate, of course, I'll be very happy. But if you're just angry about the incident, then there's no need. After all, this necklace is someone else's goodwill. If you donate it just like that…"

Everyone was puzzled. Miss He meant that this necklace was given to Miss Qiao by someone and she did not buy it herself. After all, Miss Qiao was only Xia Yunqiu's adopted daughter. She probably did not have the ability to buy such a valuable necklace.
