But in the next second, Gu Yao nodded in admiration. “You’re right! Why do I have to understand the thoughts of a retard?”

Qiao Xi was even more speechless. If Gu Weiming heard the brothers talking about him behind his back, he would probably be angered to death.

Although Gu Zheng was cold, he was sincere toward Gu Yao. Only Gu Zheng could make Gu Yao feel the existence of kinship, so after he found out that his parents had attacked Gu Zheng, he was completely disappointed in them.

Since he was young, Gu Zheng had taken care of him, educated him, and nurtured him so that he could distinguish right from wrong. That was why he had not been reduced to a cold-blooded person like his parents.

…

At the Xu family’s home.

Xu Anran’s eyes were slightly red. She rushed to the living room and held Xia Yunlou’s hand. “Mom! Have you heard? President Gu was in a car accident. He’s seriously injured and unconscious. I heard that this car accident was a murder attempt. Sister will definitely be implicated. Why don’t we quickly bring her back?”

At this time, the news on the internet had already caused an uproar. The official news reported that the brake line of Gu Zheng’s car was cut by someone, and a huge truck had directly crashed into Gu Zheng’s car. Fortunately, that car was bulletproof, so Gu Zheng and Qiao Xi survived. However, both of them were seriously injured.

Xu Anran’s eyes were filled with tears. “Mom, the Gu family is really too dangerous. Sister was lucky this time and managed to escape the calamity. But what should we do next time? Sister is your biological daughter. Are you going to watch her get killed?”

Xia Yunlou was silent for a moment before her eyes suddenly lit up. “You’re right. We have to bring Xi Xi back as soon as possible!”

Xu Anran was so anxious that she was tearing up. “The last time we went to visit my sister, there was a misunderstanding. Now that the netizens are scolding me, I can’t stay in the entertainment industry anymore. However, I’ve never blamed my sister. I only hope that she can let bygones be bygones and follow us home.”

Xia Yunlou had a loving look on her face. “Anran, you’re really my good daughter. The situation with your reputation is only temporary. After some time, everyone will forget about these trivial matters. As long as you donate money to charity, everyone will change their impression of you.”

Xu Anran frowned. All these years, she had spent a lot of money but did not manage to save much. Now, she could only allow herself to lose some benefits.

Suddenly, her manager sent a message to her. Xu Anran glanced at it and said happily, “Mom, I heard that there’s going to be a grand music festival held in the country.”

Xia Yunlou shook her head.

Xu Anran smiled and said, “This music festival is the most prestigious pop music competition in the country. All of the famous musicians in the country will be participating in it. If I can get first place in this competition, those people will probably stop scolding me!”

Xia Yunlou hesitated. “But you…”

“Mom, all these years, I’ve been learning how to write and compose. I’m confident that I can win an award in this competition. Even if I can’t win first place, I definitely won’t embarrass you guys.”

Xu Anran indeed did not have any talent in writing lyrics or composing songs. However, she had previously found a very talented composer on a small website. That person had posted a few songs online two years ago and there was no news of him after that. Xu Anran sent someone to investigate for a period of time and guessed that the person might have passed away.

Later on, she used her connections to get the website to remove all of that person’s works and claimed them to be hers. It seemed that the composer’s name was Fu Sheng.

Xu Anran smiled and said, “Mom, believe me. I’ll definitely win the award in the competition. But what should I do about my sister? What should I do to make her forgive me?”

At the mention of Qiao Xi, Xia Yunlou felt irritated and couldn’t help but roar. “I’m her mother! Do I need her forgiveness? She has already caused us to be scolded by netizens. What else does she want?!”

Xu Anran rolled her eyes. “Mom, if President Gu forgives me, will my younger sister also forgive me? After all, she’s President Gu’s wife. She has to listen to President Gu.”

Xia Yunlou suddenly looked up. “Yes! If President Gu forgives us and Qiao Xi still refuses to forgive us, then it just means she doesn’t know what’s good for her!”

In the hospital.

When Qin An came to check on them, he could not help but sigh. “The two of you are indeed much better than ordinary people. You’re recovering very quickly and there are no side effects.”
