Qiao Xi chuckled, and her eyes were filled with coldness.
âIn your eyes, Iâm just a toy. I have to do whatever you want me to do. Even if you want to kill me, I should accept it. You all think that Meng Wan has been wronged, so I should apologize?â
Madam Gu was slightly surprised. She did not expect that Qiao Xi would not be nervous at all and would actually retort.
âYou⦠You actually dareâ¦â
âMadam Gu, Iâm not a pushover that anyone can bully. I wonât let you manipulate me. Moreover, it was Meng Wan who destroyed Gu Zhengâs medicinal herbs, yet you guys kept avoiding the facts and treating it as my fault!â
Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows. âLooks like⦠Madam Gu really wished that she would destroy Gu Zhengâs things. You want him ruined. Furthermore, Iâm not at your mercy. Is that why you want us to get a divorce?â
Everyone gasped, and the surroundings were perfectly silent.
They all knew very well that Madam Gu hated Gu Zheng and wished for him to die.
Madam Gu and Old Master Gu had asked Meng Wan to marry Gu Zheng because they wanted her to control Gu Zheng. It would be best if she could let Gu Zheng walk toward death step by step.
It was just that they pretended not to know anything and were speaking self-righteous words.
Had Qiao Xi gone mad?
âNonsense! Shut up!â Madam Gu was surprised. Then, she flew into a rage and shouted.
Her hands trembled as she pointed at Qiao Xi. âCapture this sl*t! How shameless!â
The servants immediately went forward. Just as they were about to do something, the door slowly opened.
Gu Zheng strode in with large strides and shielded Qiao Xiâs face as he looked at Madam Gu with a gloomy gaze.
âI said not to provoke Qiao Xi!â
With Old Master Gu around, Madam Gu instantly had the confidence to scold him loudly. âGu Zheng! Iâm your mother! This b*tch is just your toy. I was just teaching her how to be a qualified daughter-in-law. Is that wrong?â
Everyone held their breaths.
Suddenly, Gu Zheng sneered. âMadam Gu, if you think youâre very free, I can make you busy. For example, I can make you leave the Gu family?â
Madam. Gu was so angry that her whole body was trembling. Gu Zheng was threatening her? He was going against her because of that b*tch Qiao Xi?
âBrother Gu Zheng, itâs all my fault,â Meng Wan said with tears. âAunt Lan is doing this for your own good. Sob⦠If I hadnât gone to the Gu family to look for you, nothing would have happened. Iâll leave nowâ¦â
Gu Zheng looked up at Meng Wan.
He waved at the people behind him. Song Shijing walked up to her and said in a cold voice, âMiss Meng, the president has told you not to come looking for the Gu family anymore.â
Meng Wan lowered her head in grievance and sobbed. âBrother Gu Zhengâ¦â
Hearing Meng Wanâs cries, Madam Guâs face was filled with viciousness. âGu Zheng, I asked Qiao Xi to apologize to Wan Wan because I wanted to quickly resolve this matter. The Gu and Meng families have been close for so many years, so we canât fall out over a woman!â
Gu Zhengâs expression was calm, and his eyes were cold.
Song Shiyu said again, âMiss Meng, please leave.â
Madam Gu and Old Master Guâs expressions darkened.
Old Master Gu was infuriated. Gu Zheng was too unbridled!
He roared angrily, âGu Zheng! Have you gone mad? Youâre going against everyone for this b*tch?â
Old Master Gu slammed the table. âI absolutely donât agree! I wonât allow this shrew to affect the Gu family. She was the one who seduced you and made you hide Jinchuan Grass. When you saw that Old Master Meng was seriously ill, you refused to take it out! Youâre simply ungrateful!â
Qiao Xi: ââ¦â The old master was indeed good at scolding people!
Meng Wan looked pitiful. âBrother Gu Zheng, itâs fine if you donât like me, but you canât cut ties with the Meng family for Miss Qiaoâs sake. Itâll affect your future!â
Everyone agreed. âMiss Qiao, I advise you to be sensible. You donât deserve to be the mistress of the Gu family. Only a young miss like Miss Meng has the right.â
âYou still have the cheek to pester Young Master Gu at a time like this?â
Madam Gu was delighted. âGu Zheng, Wan Wan also knows that you donât like flowers and plants, so she destroyed those things. Itâs all for your own good. How can you blame her?â
Gu Zheng mocked. âFor my own good? Iâm really thankful to her, then!â
Qiao Xi: ââ¦â
Everyone was silent, and Old Master Guâs expression was gloomy. âGu Zheng, itâs fine if you donât get Qiao Xi to apologize, but you have to stop oppressing the Meng family! In the future, youâll know that Wan Wan is the most suitable person for you. That woman is just a toy. You can play with her, but the mistress of the Gu family is absolutely not her!
âIf you hand over Jinchuan Grass now, I can forgive you. Take her back!â
Gu Zheng narrowed his eyes. Jinchuan Grass?
Now that everyone knew that he had Jinchuan Grass, Old Master Gu naturally heard about it too.
Hence⦠they were causing such a commotion today because they wanted Jinchuan Grass?
