The Gu familyâs law was harsh. If she took a few blows, her flesh and blood would probably be ruined.
Madam Wang was stunned, then she cried out loudly, âYoung Master Gu, please let Shen Ying off! Sheâs so delicate and fragile. If she canât handle the family law, sheâll die!â
Gu Zhengâs expression was calm. âWhen you wanted to hit my wife, why didnât you think about whether she could take it?â
Shen Ying burst into tears. She was filled with resentment. Why was that b*tch Qiao Xi able to marry Brother Gu Zheng and even receive his protection?
Qiao Xi was just a country bumpkin while she was the daughter of a rich family. The two of them were worlds apart.
Moreover, Qiao Xi was not injured while she had injured her head.
Madam Guâs expression darkened. âGu Zheng, itâs not wrong to say that Shen Ying likes you. Moreover, I was the one who locked Qiao Xi up in the dark room. Are you going to hit me, too?â
Gu Zheng chuckled and said, âYou have to be punished for doing something wrong. Since you took the initiative to ask, of course, you can take a beating too.â
âYouâ¦â
Madam Gu was furious.
This was crazy!
For the sake of Qiao Xi, Gu Zheng had really gone mad. He actually wanted to hit his mother!
Gu Zheng looked at Song Shiyu indifferently. Song Shiyu immediately understood. He pushed the door open and gestured to the bodyguards outside.
The bodyguards rushed in and pressed Shen Ying down roughly.
âMadam Gu! Auntâ¦â Shen Ying struggled weakly and looked at Gu Zheng in a panic. âBrother Gu Zheng! Master Gu! I was wrong. Please let me off! ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âGu Zheng!â Madam Gu roared. She did not expect Gu Zheng to be so bold. She was burning with anger and her whole body was trembling. âStop it!â
âSay what you want. You canât stop me from doing what I want to do, Madam Gu!â
Gu Zheng was playing with a dart that had exquisite patterns on it. He glanced at Madam Gu and chuckled. âI donât even take you seriously. Itâs just Shen Ying. Why canât I deal with her? Or do you want to be punished together with Shen Ying?â
Madam Gu was unable to restrain her anger. âYou bastard! How dare you speak to your mother like this? Youâre actually going to beat Shen Ying to death for a b*tch? How is that b*tch Qiao Xi worthy to be the daughter-in-law of the Gu familyââ
Bang!
A loud bang interrupted Madam Gu.
The dart in Gu Zhengâs hand brushed past Madam Gu and pierced itself into the wall behind her.
He said casually, âMadam Gu, watch your words. If you say the word âb*tchâ again, I canât guarantee that Iâll be able to hold myself back.â
With that, he turned around to leave while the bodyguards dragged the crying Shen Ying out. Madam Gu and Madam Wang were trembling all over and did not say a word.
After Qiao Xi returned to her room, she received a WeChat message from Qin An.
[Little Six, are you participating in the translation competition? I heard that the professional translator, Fan Wenyuan, is accepting a disciple. Do you want to be his disciple?]
Qiao Xi was not interested. [No.]
Qin An replied: [No problem. Youâre talented, so itâs okay if you donât like him.]
Qiao Xi tossed her phone to the side. It was not that she looked down on anyone, but she felt that it was too boring. Gu Zhengâs face was all she could think of.
Why was he so worried about her? He could ignore everything just to save her?
Qiao Xi seemed to have sensed a trace of inexplicable emotion in her heart. In the past, she was used to being strong and independent. She did not rely on anyone, but now that Gu Zheng had appeared, he would stand up for her and even protect her.
âYoung Master Gu locked Miss Shen in the dark room. Madam is about to die of angerâ¦â
At this moment, the voices of a few servants sounded, causing Qiao Xi to be slightly surprised.
Gu Zheng had really locked Shen Ying up. She thought that he would not disobey Madam Gu.
Just as she was thinking about it, her phone beeped again.
[Little Six, the fiance the old man arranged for you is in the Gu family. Do you want to hide?]
Qiao Xi was instantly petrified.
The legendary big shot who made the old man and Third Brother feel reverence was in the Gu family?
At this moment, the door suddenly opened and Gu Zheng walked in.
Qiao Xi put down her phone to avoid her messages being seen by Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng had mentioned her fiance last time and he did not look too good. If Gu Zheng found out that the man was in the Gu family, he would tear down the roof.
Gu Zhengâs eyes narrowed as he noticed Qiao Xiâs actions.
Ding!
Her phone beeped continuously.
[Little Six, let me tell you. That big shot is incredible. He has extremely few precious treasures in the world. Those things are priceless.
[He has a great reputation overseas but is very low-profile in the country. Few people have seen him, especially in the academic research community. No one can compare to him. In short, heâs indeed a big shot!]
Qiao Xiâs heart jumped. No wonder even the old man, who was so arrogant, was full of praise for him.
