Gu Zheng lowered his eyes to look at Qiao Xi. His deep eyes were filled with gentleness and affection. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and gently wiped her face. âBe good and stop crying!â
Qiao Xi took the handkerchief and covered her face while crying. She pretended to wipe the tears on her face.
At this moment, everyoneâs eyes were filled with disdain when they looked at Xia Mengyan. It turned out that the woman who caused trouble at Heavenly Voice Entertainment yesterday was Xia Mengyan! The news of her pretending to be the president had already spread. It was just that no one knew who that woman was. Now that President Gu had said so, everyone understood.
Xia Mengyan was clearly the one who shamelessly stole Mrs. Guâs position. She even brought the old master here today and stood on the moral high ground to criticize Mrs. Gu for being unfilial. If they were not here for Qingfeng Entertainment, what else could it be?
Xia Mengyanâs face was pale as she took a few steps back in horror. Now, everyone knew about her ugly incident yesterday. Qiao Xi was just pretending to be pitiful, but why did everyone believe her? She wanted to pretend to cry, but her tears did not fall.
Qiao Xi whimpered and pounced into Gu Zhengâs arms, crying pitifully.
Everyone hurriedly comforted her softly. âMrs. Gu, donât cry. Itâs not worth crying for people like them!â
Song Shiyu: ââ¦â Young Madam was really good at pretending, but these people all believed her. There was no trace of her pretending in her eyes at all. Her skills were too good!
Qiao Xi hid in Gu Zhengâs embrace and raised her eyebrows at Xia Mengyan. This was all she could do? She had only used 20% of her strength, yet Xia Mengyan could not take it anymore. She had not even used her trump card!
Everyone looked at Xia Mengyan and Old Master Xia angrily. Xia Mengyan lowered her head and eyes without saying anything. Her nails dug into her palms. Xia Cheng, who was at the side, said with a gloomy face, âPresident Gu.â
His expression was cold, and he did not care about everyoneâs gazes or words at all. He still pretended to be an elder and continued to be so arrogant. âPresident Gu, weâre here to have a good talk with Xi Xi. Arenât you going to invite us in to talk?â
Gu Zheng said casually, âYes, Iâm not going to invite you in.â
Xia Chengâs expression froze for a moment, then he continued, âPresident Gu, youâre the head of Gu Corporation. Youâre all-powerful in the business world. What happened yesterday is already in the past. Why take it to heart?â
......
Gu Zheng raised an eyebrow, his voice low and filled with disdain. âMrs. Gu is kind-hearted. She doesnât mind Xia Mengyanâs actions, but I do. What right do you have to question me?â
âPresident Gu, Iâm Qiao Xiâs grandfather!â
When Qiao Xi heard Xia Chengâs angry roar, she was terrified to the point her entire body trembled. She kept hiding in Gu Zhengâs embrace. Gu Zheng gently patted her back, then looked at Xia Cheng with an icy-cold gaze. âSo what?â
âPresident Gu, letâs talk about Mengyan and Xi Xiâs misunderstanding later. No matter what, Iâm Xi Xiâs grandfather. We rushed all the way here and have been waiting at the door for so long. How can you refuse to let us in? If news of this gets out, what will everyone say? Theyâll say that President Gu is heartless! Theyâll even scold Qiao Xi for being unfilial!â
Xia Cheng smiled proudly, thinking that he had Gu Zheng and Qiao Xi under his control. âPresident Gu, Gu Corporation is in the midst of public opinion now. I donât know how many enemies want to play tricks on you behind your back. In the past, there was Gu Weiming. If you chase me away now, everyone will definitely think that itâs your fault.â
Qiao Xiâs eyes narrowed slightly. Was this old master tired of living?
Gu Zheng grabbed Qiao Xiâs hand as if he had seen through her thoughts. He did not care about Xia Chengâs threat at all and said casually, âOld Master Xia, why are you still so naive even though youâve lived for so long? Let me tell you a principle today. A truly powerful person wonât care about the rumors outside at all. Itâs too laughable if you think those unimportant people will affect me.â
Xia Chengâs expression changed, but he was still unconvinced as he shouted, âYou donât care, but what about Qiao Xi? Sheâs just a weak lady, yet she has to be cursed by everyone online. Do you think she can endure it?â
âOld Master Xia, donât tell me you think todayâs matter can be spread online? Iâve already told you that I can control everything, including the direction of the rumors. Iâll kill whoever makes Mrs. Gu sad!â
Gu Zheng walked to Xia Chengâs side and said softly. His deep eyes were filled with strong killing intent. He did not care about Xia Chengâs threat at all. To him, Xia Cheng was just a flea. He was not afraid at all.
Xia Cheng finally panicked. He could clearly feel Gu Zhengâs killing intent. It was so cold that it seemed to be able to pierce through his heart.
