1211 Deep Love And Hatred
Gu Zhengâs tone was indifferent. âSince youâre preparing to work with Gu Corporation, you should have looked for my information. Didnât you see the news that Iâm already married?â
âIâ¦â He Wenxian opened her mouth but did not know how to explain.
âMiss He, are you blind? Canât you see that Iâm holding hands with Mrs. Gu? Who else could appear in Longwan Residential and be so close to me other than Mrs. Gu?â Gu Zhengâs tone carried a trace of impatience.
The expression on He Wenxianâs face was still gentle. She was not angry. Instead, she greeted Qiao Xi enthusiastically, âItâs you, Mrs. Gu! Nice to meet you! Itâs my first time visiting you, but I didnât prepare a congratulatory gift. Iâm really sorry. I hope you wonât mind. Weâre all friends of Mr. Gu. Iâll make it up to you when I visit next time!â
After all, He Wenxian was quite enthusiastic about her, so Qiao Xi naturally responded with a smile and glanced at He Wenyin beside her. Her expression was intriguing. She was a little surprised as if she was asking He Wenxian, âDidnât you already know that Gu Zheng was married?â
After all, He Wenyin was still young and did not know how to hide her emotions. Everyone in Li City knew that she and Gu Zheng were married. With He Wenxianâs connections, she naturally knew about it long ago. Why was she still pretending not to know?
âMiss He, welcome. But Iâm not short of gifts,â Qiao Xi replied calmly.
He Wenxian had a gentle smile on her face, but in Qiao Xiâs opinion, this smile was filled with insidiousness. She refused so stiffly, but He Wenxian was not dissatisfied at all. She did not point out her mistakes, nor did she pretend to be pitiful like other women. It was as if nothing had happened.
Qiao Xi could not help but sigh. She had encountered an expert this time. If He Wenyinâs expression had not exposed everything, she would have really thought that He Wenxian was genuinely very friendly to her!
After a few seconds of silence, He Wenxian looked up at Gu Zheng. âAh Zheng, Iâm really sorry for visiting you rashly today. I hope you wonât take offense.â
âMiss He, since you think itâs inappropriate, you should leave immediately,â Gu Zheng said coldly. His words made the smile on He Wenxianâs face stiffen.
Qiao Xi understood in her heart. No matter what she said, it could not affect He Wenxian. However, Gu Zhengâs cold attitude had indeed hurt He Wenxian. This meant that her feelings for Gu Zheng were not pure!
He Wenxian looked hurt. âAh Zheng, you werenât angry when I came here often in the past. Why now⦠Itâs probably because the He family hasnât interacted much with you all these years. Weâre strangers now.â
Qiao Xi pursed her lips tightly. He Wenxian said such words to show off in front of her. In the past, Gu Zheng was very close to the He family, so he was naturally very close to her. Now that Gu Zheng was so cold to her, it was probably because he had loved her deeply in the past and now hated her. He even hated the He family for severing ties with him and leaving the country. This meant that he had always cared about the He family.
Now that He Wenxian mentioned the He family, did she want Gu Zheng to let bygones be bygones on account of the He familyâs past kindness?
However, Gu Zheng did not give her any hope. âMiss He, you said so yourself that it was in the past. We have nothing to do with each other now. I hope you can have some sense of propriety and not rashly disturb our lives.â
Song Shiyu pursed his lips. Did they really think that the president had a good temper? They had entered Longwan Residential rashly. They knew that their actions were wrong, but they refused to leave. They said so much nonsense just to get the president to help the He family establish themselves in Li City again. Did the He family think that everyone else was stupid?
He Wenxianâs expression did not change. âAh Zheng, I know you blame us. If it werenât for something important, I wouldnât have suddenly come over.â
As she spoke, He Wenxian took out a document from her bag and said solemnly, âPreviously, Gu Corporation was maliciously attacked and some data was leaked. Iâve already found out the other partyâs information.â
Song Shijing took the document and flipped through it carefully. Then, he leaned toward Gu Zheng and whispered, âPresident, this information is real.â
Gu Zhengâs expression was still cold, but he did not refuse. Song Shijing understood what Gu Zheng meant. He turned to He Wenxian and said, âMiss He, please follow me to the living room.â
He Wenxianâs gaze flickered. In the past, when she came to look for Gu Zheng, he would always ask her to go to the study. Now, this assistant actually asked her to go to the living room.
Just as she was about to leave, He Wenxian turned to look at He Wenyin and said gently, âWenyin, havenât you always wanted to stay in Brother Ah Zhengâs house for a few days? You can ask Mrs. Gu to show you around now, but you canât be willful. You have to be polite and not make Mrs. Gu angry. Sheâs Ah Zhengâs wife. You have to respect her.â
