Wang Qing argued, saying, âDad, what reason do you have to make me kneel?â
Without saying anything, Wang Qingâs father kicked her knee. âIf I ask you to kneel, then kneel. Cut the crap!â He did not hold back with his kick. Wang Qing knelt on the ground with a plop. Her soft knees made contact with the gravel and stone floor, causing her face to frown from the pain. âDad, are you crazy? Why are you asking me to kneel? Oh my God, my knee hurts. Help me up.â
At that moment, a melodious male voice sounded from behind Mr. Wang. âPresident Wang, it looks like your daughter doesnât want to kneel.â
Wang Qing raised her head and met Gu Zhengâs handsome peach blossom eyes. She was stunned for a moment. She had never seen such a good-looking man. His face looked like it had been carefully sculpted and was a work of art. It made her wonder if he really existed in this world.
âNo, itâs nothing like that.â
Mr. Wang wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. He had suddenly received a call just now. He was told that all of his companyâs partnerships had been terminated and some of the investors had also withdrawn their investments. A good company like his was facing bankruptcy in the blink of an eye. He finally managed to ask a friend for the reason, but the friend stammered and explained that he had offended someone from the Gu family.
There was no one else but the head of the Gu family who could make his friend not even dare to say his name!
However, how did he provoke the head of the Gu family? Their family and the Gu family did not have anything to do with each other! However, regardless of the reason, he spent a lot of effort to find Gu Zheng in order to save his own company. Then, he knelt down and begged for mercy without hesitation, hoping that Gu Zheng would let him off.
Unfortunately, Gu Zheng did not even look at him. It was his special assistant who kindly reminded him, âPresident Wang, youâd better go to Li City University to see your daughter. Sheâs much bolder than you, President Wang.â
Mr. Wang gasped.
He did not expect that while he was struggling to run the company, his daughter would drag him down! At the thought of this, he hurriedly drove to Li City University, which led to what had happened earlier.
âPresident Gu, do you think our Wang Qing is sincere in kneeling? If youâre dissatisfied with anything, feel free to tell me. Iâll get her to adjust it⦠About my companyâ¦â
Wang Qing heard their conversation and gasped.
The reason her father made her kneel here was because of this man in front of her? Such a high and mighty manâ¦
Gu Zheng looked at her as if she was an ant and said casually, âPresident Wang, have you not eaten yet?â
Mr. Wang steeled his heart and pressed Wang Qingâs head down again, forcing her to kowtow in the direction of the teaching building. Amid the thumping sounds, Wang Qing cried out heartbreakingly, âDad, Iâm in so much pain. Dad! Why are you making me kowtow? What have I done wrong that you have to do this to me?!
âShut up!â Mr. Wang was afraid that Wang Qing would say something stupid and offend Gu Zheng again. He berated fiercely, âYouâve offended the head of the Gu family, so you deserve to kowtow and apologize. From today onward, get the hell to the countryside and never come back!â
Wang Qing was unwilling to give in. What right did they have to do this to her?! The countryside was where that sl*t, Qiao Xi, was from. How could a rich young miss like her go there?!
â¦
Qiao Xi leaned against a large tree, took out her phone, and casually typed in a few codes. Not long after, a row of characters appeared on her phone screen, and the image changed to the Wang Corporationâs database.
After seeing the tragic state of the Wang familyâs company, Qiao Xi clicked her tongue. If all their partners broke their contracts at the same time, the Wang family should be very busy now. As for Wang Qing, the culprit, she would probably have to stay in the countryside for a long time.
Gu Zheng had noticed Qiao Xiâs figure a long time ago. At this moment, he looked at her indifferently. âMrs. Gu, are you not planning to express your gratitude?â
Qiao Xi looked up. The man was half-leaning against the car door with his arms crossed. There was a nonchalant look on his handsome face.
Qiao Xi gulped and suddenly took a step forward. âOf course, I have to express my gratitude!â
Kissing him to express her gratitude would allow her to recover her taste buds. It was killing two birds with one stone! Hence, Qiao Xi walked toward him embarrassedly. âThank you, Brother Gu Zheng, for standing up for me. I want to give you a kiss.â
âNever mind.â
Gu Zheng tilted his head slightly and avoided Qiao Xiâs red lips. He said with a smile, âI suddenly realized that both of us have benefitted from this situation, so it canât be considered as me helping you. Thereâs no need to thank me.â
Mutual benefits? Qiao Xi was slightly puzzled.
Gu Zheng curled his lips slightly. âMrs. Gu, you havenât forgotten⦠what you promised me earlier, right?â
