Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Qingfeng Entertainment was indeed left to me by my mother, but Old Master Xia and my grandmother divorced decades ago. At that time, the assets were also divided. Ever since then, my mother has never returned to the Xia family and has been living with my grandmother. My mother used the money my grandmother gave her to establish Qingfeng Entertainment, and it was left to me. Logically speaking, the company has nothing to do with the Xia family. I also want to give Qingfeng Entertainment to you, but I think my mother in heaven will definitely not agree.

“After you divorced Grandma, you stopped contacting Mom. You never even attended her funeral after she passed away. She had a grudge against you, but you’re now asking me to transfer the shares of Qingfeng Entertainment to you. This will go against Mom’s wishes. Moreover, the two companies have already merged. Gu Zheng has a portion of the shares. I really can’t make the decision myself.”

Qiao Xi’s tone was filled with sorrow as she sighed helplessly. “I’ve never seen you before. I didn’t expect our first meeting to be in such a manner.”

Her voice became more and more choked up. “You despise me for being abandoned by the Qiao family and wandering outside alone, so you don’t acknowledge that I’m from the Xia family and refuse to let me call you ‘Grandpa’. I can understand that, but…”

At this moment, the employees of Gu Corporation finally could not stand it anymore. They said indignantly, “When Mrs. Gu was wandering outside alone, the Xia family despised her and didn’t let her come home. The old master also doesn’t allow her to call him ‘Grandpa’. Now that they know that she’s married to the president and is the chairwoman of Qingfeng Entertainment, they’re here to blackmail her. Do they still have any shame?”

The beautiful woman at the front desk also snorted. “You just want to get benefits from Mrs. Gu because she’s rich and powerful. Where were you when Mrs. Gu suffered when she was young? Now that she’s rich, you came to the company to put on a show. How do you have the cheek to say those things?”

“That person from Jia Ye Corporation is also crazy. He actually spoke up for that woman without distinguishing between right and wrong. He just saw that she’s a little good-looking and became momentarily lustful.”

The face of the man from Jia Ye Corporation instantly flushed red as he lowered his head in shame. Xia Mengyan, who was at the side, wished for nothing more than to find a hole to hide in. She bit her lip and calmed down for a long time before saying in a trembling voice, “Xi Xi, Grandpa has never said such things. You’ll always be a member of our Xia family and Grandpa’s granddaughter. All these years when you were wandering outside, we all missed you very much. Aunt Yunlou was also worried about you. How could you think of us like that? Grandpa must be so sad to hear you say that!”

Xia Mengyan burned with rage. She came here today to force Qiao Xi to hand over the shares, but before she could obtain the shares, Qiao Xi had labeled her as a high and mighty big shot. She forcefully suppressed the anger in her heart and gritted her teeth. “You’ve really misunderstood us. We’ve never thought of getting the shares of Qingfeng Entertainment. We’re only here to see you. You can’t maliciously speculate about us!”

“Malicious speculation?”

At this moment, an extremely cold voice came from afar. The man was tall and exuded the aura of a king. As soon as he appeared, everything around him lost its glow.

A group of men and women in business attire stood behind Gu Zheng. They were all higher-ups of Gu Corporation. Gu Zheng slowly walked over, and everyone made way for him. He was the owner of Gu Corporation. He had shocking wealth and power, and he was also handsome. After he appeared, the entire lobby fell silent. Many female employees could not help but blush.

Gu Zheng walked straight toward Qiao Xi and protected her in his arms. Then, his deep eyes swept toward Xia Mengyan as he said in a cold tone, “Miss Xia, can you explain what you mean by malicious speculation?”

......

Xia Mengyan’s eyes were filled with horror, and she did not dare to meet Gu Zheng’s eyes. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, then he said casually, “Miss Xia, Mrs. Gu is pure and kind. She doesn’t have any ill intentions. She’s just telling the truth.”

Xia Mengyan gritted her teeth. Qiao Xi was pure and kind? She was clearly the most scheming and vicious woman!

However, in front of Gu Zheng, she had to maintain her image, so her voice was gentle. “President Gu, you’ve really misunderstood.”

The man said casually, “Miss Xia, you pretended to be the friend of Qingfeng’s president yesterday and stole Mrs. Gu’s position as the executive president. Today, you came to visit with Old Master Xia. Are you still going to insist that you don’t want Qingfeng Entertainment?”

Song Shiyu said, “Of course, Young Madam would think that you’re doing this for Qingfeng Entertainment when you brought Old Master Xia here today and pretended to be close to her!”

Gu Zheng nodded in satisfaction. He did not hire this assistant for nothing. He was still useful at critical moments.
