Qiao Xi cried out in surprise, âAh⦠Ah Zheng?â
Gu Zhengâs body was cold, but his eyes were burning hot. Sweat covered his forehead, and he looked very nervous. Behind him, Song Shijing and Song Shiyu lowered their heads in fear.
Qiao Xi was slightly nervous. âI⦠I was just curiousâ¦â
âI know.â
Qiao Xi: ââ¦â This time, it was ruined. Her image as a delicate woman had collapsed again.
Gu Zhengâs breathing gradually stabilized as he hugged her tightly. His voice trembled slightly as he said, âD-Donât listen to her nonsense. I absolutely wonât hurt you.â
Qiao Xiâs heart trembled.
He was afraid because he thought that she would leave him because of Madam Yaoâs nonsense.
Qiao Xi smiled lightly. âAh Zheng, no matter who you are, I wonât leave you. I didnât take her words to heart at all.â
Gu Zheng never harmed innocent people. The Yao family deserved what was happening to them now. They were not worth pitying.
If she liked Gu Zheng, she would not change her mind just because of someone elseâs words. Moreover, she believed that Gu Zheng would still treat her the same way as he always had.
After coming out of the dungeon, Qiao Xi directly returned to her bedroom to rest. Unexpectedly, she slept until the next morning
Gu Zheng knocked on the door and walked in. âXi Xi, the weather is good today. Iâll take you shopping, okay?â Qiao Xi nodded. It had been a long time since she went shopping.
The two of them got into the car. Gu Zheng said casually, âLetâs go to International Commercial Building. The Yao family has a shop there. Yao Junjie is in charge of it now. He gave us a gift card. Why donât we go there and take a look?â
Yao family?
Qiao Xi was slightly puzzled. Wasnât the Yao familyâs company and businesses in shambles now? There was actually someone managing the Yao familyâs shop?
Qiao Xi hesitated for a moment and asked in confusion, âYao Junjie?â
She had heard of this name before. He was Yao Mengqingâs brother.
âThe rest of the Yao family has been captured, but why didnât Young Master Yao appear? Isnât he Yao Mengqingâs brother? His sister and parents are missing. Why didnât he come to beg you?â
Gu Zheng smiled meaningfully.
Qiao Xi curiously picked up her phone and checked Yao Corporationâs information. In the end, she saw the live press conference.
The man sitting in front of the stage was tall and straight. He was wearing a suit, and his eyes were red. He looked sad.
Gu Zheng took a look and sneered. âHeâs really good at acting.â
Qiao Xi: ââ¦â
This young master of the Yao family was completely different from Qiao Xiâs impression of him. She originally thought that Yao Mengqing was willful and vicious, so her brother would have the same character as Lin Jie. However, she did not expect him to look quite gentle.
Many people were also praising the new head of the Yao family online.
(Young Master Yao is so pitiful. Heâs cleaning up the mess for the Yao family again.]
[Again? Could it be that something like this had happened in the past?)
[Six years ago, when the Yao familyâs business was in trouble, the Yao family all ran overseas to look for Yao Junjie to clean up the mess. Yao Junjie originally had his own company overseas and it was developing very well. When he found out that the Yao family was bankrupt, he gave all his shares to Yao Mengqing. Yao Mengqing had money in her hands, so she founded Sunshine. Originally, Yao Junjie should also have shares in Sunshine, but he wasnât given any.]
[I heard that he took out all his savings to save the Yao familyâs company. This gave the company a chance to take a breather. Unexpectedly, the Yao family kicked Yao Junjie out as soon as the Yao family rose in power. He originally had his own career and company, but he was cheated out of everything. He had no choice but to return overseas to continue his business.]
Someone was curious: (But Yao Junjie is also from the Yao family. Why would they do that?]
[Yao Junjie is not Mr. Yaoâs biological son. According to seniority, Mr. Yao is his uncle and Yao Mengqing is his cousin. Although theyâre related by blood, theyâre not directly related. Back then, when Yao Junjieâs parents were in trouble, Yao Mengqingâs family ignored them and even stole the shares and company that originally belonged to Yao Junjie. They let him go overseas to fend for himself. Yao Mengqingâs family is too heartless. Maybe they were the ones who were responsible for the incident that involved Yao Junjieâs parents.]
(Youâre right. That family hired an assassin to kill and poison someone. What else can they not do?! I heard that Yao Junjieâs parents died for no reason. Yao Mengqingâs family then stole all his assets. He was even chased overseas by the Yao family.]
