Gu Corporationâs official account stated: [Hello, netizens. Letâs make it clear that the people in the photo are our president and Young Madam. Someone deliberately said that they were having an affair, so weâve already sent a lawyerâs letter to the person who slandered the president and Young Madam. Please treat this matter rationally and not say anything baseless.]
Actually, Qiao Xi did not care about this matter. At this moment, she was more concerned about something else. She hurriedly asked, âThird Brother, did I leave you for a period of time when I was young?â
Qin An thought about it carefully. âOf course! Youâve always liked to run around since you were young. You were too young in the past, so I was worried. When you grew up, I wasnât as strict with you anymore. You could learn whatever you liked, so you would be away from us for longer periods of time. I donât know which time youâre talking about.â
Qiao Xi continued to ask, âWas there a time when I acted a little strangely after coming back as though I lost my memory?â
Hearing Qiao Xiâs words, Gu Zheng, who was sitting on the chair, slowly raised his eyes and looked over.
Qin An replied without hesitation, âLost your memory? How is that possible? If you lost your memory, we would definitely know!â
Qiao Xi only felt a dull pain in her heart. The scene that appeared in her dream just now felt terrifyingly real. Was it really just a dream or was it a trace of memory in her mind? However, Third Brother would not lie to her. If Third Brother said no, then it was either nothing had happened or he did not know the truth.
After hanging up, Qiao Xi suddenly smelled a fragrance as she lay on the bed. She raised her eyes and saw that Gu Zheng was holding a tray in his hand. There was a bowl of seafood porridge and two plates of side dishes on it. He placed the tray on the table and carried the bowl to the bed. He scooped a mouthful of porridge and blew on it before bringing it to Qiao Xiâs mouth. She habitually opened her mouth, and the warm porridge entered her mouth with the fresh smell of seafood. Her entire body instantly warmed up.
âWe were photographed at the supermarket?â Gu Zheng asked softly.
Qiao Xi suddenly frowned and pouted unhappily. âIf you hadnât messed around in the private room, would I have worn a scarf and sunglasses? I wouldnât have been mistaken for a mistress either.â
She looked aggrieved and said sweetly, âThey all said that Iâve been abandoned. They said that Mrs. Gu is an abandoned wife of a rich family. They even said that weâre already divorced and anyone has a chance to be Mrs. Gu.â
Gu Zhengâs expression was indifferent as the corners of his lips curled up. âDonât care about those rumors.â
Qiao Xi frowned. âHow can I not care? Actually, I donât care what they say about me. Itâs just that I canât stand them saying that you cheated on me. You clearly love me so much and canât bear for me to suffer at all, but you were called a scumbag. Even my third brother was so angry that he said he wanted to poison you.
......
âTheyâre clearly jealous that youâre handsome and rich. Theyâll magnify your mistakes no matter what. However, they donât know how much effort youâve put in behind the scenes. They think that all your current achievements are because youâre the son of the Gu family.â
Qiao Xi was indignant on his behalf, but Gu Zheng didnât care. He said indifferently, âTheyâre just some netizens who listen to rumors. You donât have to be angry because of this. Those who hate me will hate me no matter how I explain it. Those who like me wonât slander me because of rumors, so thereâs no need to explain. Donât read this useless information either. Itâll affect your mood.â
âButââ
âXi Xi.â Gu Zheng interrupted her with a smile. âThose are all strangers who weâve never met. It doesnât matter what they think of us. To them, weâre just a topic of conversation. Before long, theyâll have new topics to talk about.â
Gu Zheng glanced at his phone and said softly, âRest after youâre done eating. I have a meeting tomorrow morning and canât accompany you to Heavenly Voiceâs headquarters, but Iâve already prepared a gift. I believe youâll like it.â
Other men might have given her a ring and a bouquet of flowers, but Gu Zheng was simple and crude. He gave her an entire company. Indeed, even a domineering president was so generous.
When Heavenly Voice Entertainment was first established, Gu Zheng had said that this company belonged to a friend. It was just temporarily under Gu Corporationâs name and would be returned to her when that friend returned. The company had been developing very well all these years. They thought that since it was handed to Gu Zhengâs younger brother, Gu Yao, to manage, it probably would not be returned to that friend.
However, no one expected that not long after the new year, Gu Zheng would announce that Heavenly Voice Entertainment would leave Gu Corporation and merge with Qingfeng Entertainment. At that time, the new president would appear to handle all the matters of the two companies. This news shocked the entire entertainment industry. It was unprecedented for two top entertainment companies in the country to merge.
