Lu Xiangâs eyes were vicious. This little b*tch still dared to bully her.
âAre you full?â Gu Zheng asked.
Qiao Xi said delicately, âI just took two bites and this group of people barged in. Iâm anxious to teach Madam Jiang a lesson!
âBut Madam Jiang doesnât seem to be very smart. She keeps staring at me. If she thinks itâs right to be the third party, then I have nothing else to say.â
Qiao Xi bit her lip. âGu Zheng, why doesnât she appreciate me spending so much effort to teach her how to be a good person? Forget it, Iâll just eat.â
âAlright, letâs eat.â Gu Zheng nodded.
âBut how can I eat while theyâre standing here? Looking at this group of people makes me disgusted.â
Qiao Xi frowned and sighed. âMadam Jiangâs current position originally belonged to Eldest Miss Lu. If it werenât for Madam Jiang insisting on changing the marriage back then, Eldest Miss Lu wouldnât have married President Gu and she wouldnât have died at such a young age. The Lu family wouldnât have severed ties with the Gu family eitherâ¦â
âMiss Qiao!â Lu Xiang interrupted coldly.
âThe Lu familyâs matter has nothing to do with you! Youâre Gu Zhengâs woman, and heâs an illegitimate childâ¦â
Qiao Xi hurriedly said, âYes, Madam Jiang, Iâm really sorry. Iâm a straightforward person. How could I talk about the fact that youâre a mistress in public?
âItâs okay, you wonât admit it anyway. Just keep denying it.â
Lu Xiang cared a lot about her image outside, but now that she was publicly humiliated by Qiao Xi, she couldnât care less about her image. âWhat exactly do you want to do?â
Qiao Xi pretended to be aggrieved. âMadam Jiang, donât be angry. I didnât do it on purpose just now. No matter what you did, itâs all in the past. Arenât you living well now? If youâre angry, it means that what I just said is true.â
Lu Yan suddenly walked in front of Qiao Xi and said indifferently, âMiss Qiao, outsiders donât have to worry about the Lu family. I hope you wonât spout nonsense.â
Qiao Xi had an indifferent expression. âAlright, if even you donât care about this matter, why should an outsider like me care?â
What she meant was that Lu Yan was unfilial. He knew that his aunt had interfered with his biological motherâs marriage but he still pretended not to know anything about it.
Lu Yanâs expression was indifferent. âMiss Qiao, can we talk in private?â
Qiao Xi immediately refused. âThat wonât do.â
The Lu family: ââ¦â
This woman was impenetrable!
Qiao Xi sat down unhurriedly, and after eating a few mouthfuls, she tossed her chopsticks aside. âGu Zheng, these people are making me feel disgusted. I donât feel like eating anymore. Letâs go.â
A few juniors of the Lu family instantly roared. âPfft! Gu Zheng! Your mother is a mistress! She caused the death of our eldest miss, yet you still dare to be so arrogant in front of us. Do you still have any shame?â
Qiao Xi was just about to leave when she suddenly stopped in her tracks and slowly turned around. âMadam Jiang.â
Lu Xiang suppressed her anger.
Qiao Xi said slowly, âYou should be very clear whether Gu Zheng is an illegitimate child or not.â
She leaned closer to Lu Xiang and lowered her voice to say, âYou made Gu Zheng suffer this infamy precisely because heâs not an illegitimate child.
âYou were jealous of Eldest Miss Lu because her looks and bearing are superior to yours. Furthermore, sheâs the daughter of the first wife. Youâre the illegitimate daughter, so you made sure to let her son live in the shadow of an illegitimate child and suffer eternal humiliation.
âItâs just that you didnât expect Gu Zheng to become the head of the Gu family. No one dares to touch him, so your plan only exists in your imagination.â
She smiled meaningfully and held Gu Zhengâs hand as they left.
Lu Xiangâs heart trembled. Her mind buzzed, and her body went weak.
How could Qiao Xi know?
After the two of them left Qingyuan Pavilion, Qiao Xi got into the car in a huff. She grabbed Gu Zhengâs hand and asked, âWhy didnât you say anything when they bullied you just now?â
Gu Zheng said casually, âItâs unnecessary.â
Qiao Xi was unwilling. âHow is it unnecessary? If you donât explain yourself, no one will ever know!â
âItâs useless to explain to them. Theyâll pay for their mistakes anyway.â
Gu Zhengâs voice was indifferent, but his eyes rippled with a trace of coldness.
