She did not know what Gu Zheng was thinking. She only thought that Gu Zheng was saying odd things. What did he mean by she couldn't show her face? The Meng family had already bullied her to such a point but Gu Zheng did not allow her to fight back? What kind of logic was this?!
He said so much just because he did not want her to look for trouble with the Meng family. In the end, it's just because he still cares about his relationship with Meng Wan as childhood sweethearts. He also cared about the collaboration between the Meng and Gu families, so he did not want her to provoke the Meng family!
Qiao Xi was infuriated by her own thoughts. "Why do you care?! Who are you to care about me?! Stop the car, I told you to stop the car immediately! You don't want me to go to the Meng family's banquet, right? Well, I insist on going!"
Gu Zheng continued driving, his eyes were indifferent. "I'll send you home now. Before I come back, someone will be there to take care of you."
Qiao Xi widened her eyes in disbelief. "What do you mean? You want to put me on house arrest? Gu Zheng, you bastard!"
She thought that he was on her side and her plan today could be considered as helping Gu Zheng regain his dignity. Unexpectedly, this wretched man was on the same side as the Meng family. He clearly knew that the Meng family's 'Time Flows' was fake, yet he still indulged them. He even wanted to lock her, the designer, up to prevent her from causing trouble!
Gu Zheng glanced at her. "Don't think too much. I'll explain it to you when I get back."
"Explain my *ss! I don't need your explanation!" Qiao Xi looked at the structure of this car, then at the road outside. She gritted her teeth. "If you want to protect the Meng family, then go ahead. But if you want to stop me from dealing with the Meng family, then I'll tell you that's impossible!"
Gu Zheng frowned. Did she not understand human language? He only asked her not to go to the Meng family's banquet to take revenge. As for what she wanted to do, he would help her do it!
Gu Zheng was just about to open his mouth to explain when he heard the sound of something shattering. The next moment, Gu Zheng's pupils dilated. "Qiao Xi!"
Qiao Xi's body moved nimbly out of the car window. She was grabbing onto the handle of the car door. The car that was moving at high speed made her look like a kite as she flew in the air.
Gu Zheng's heart was in his throat as fear rapidly spread throughout his body. He was stiff and did not know what to do. He was afraid that Qiao Xi would not let go of the car handle and she would fall like a leaf. He was even more afraid that she would disappear from his life in such a tragic manner.
He was afraid. He was very afraid that something would happen to Qiao Xi!
However, Qiao Xi did not realize it and snorted coldly. She did not need to ask Gu Zheng anything else. After all, he had already made his decision between her and the Meng family. Thinking about this, she said straightforwardly, "You can protect the Meng family if you love them. I give up!"
With that, she let go.
Gu Zheng slammed on the brakes. "Qiao Xi, are you tired of living?!" He hurriedly got out of the car to check but found no one behind the vehicle.
Jumping out of a speeding car was tantamount to courting death. Gu Zheng's heart was pounding furiously. He almost could not control his body. His legs were weak, but he still insisted on walking toward the cliff beside the road.
How dare she let go?!
How could she give up her life so easily?!
Gu Zheng's breathing trembled. He took out his phone and shouted at Song Shiyu to bring his men over.
Ten minutes later, Song Shiyu arrived with the bodyguards. After understanding the situation, Song Shiyu ordered the others to start the search in shock. It was a steep cliff, so they did not make much progress during the search and rescue. Song Shiyu looked at the road and then at the cliff. There was no one and no blood at all.
Had Madam gone mad? How could she jump out of the car? Song Shiyu gulped and wanted to say something, but he swallowed his words when he saw Gu Zheng's gloomy face.
The search and rescue lasted for more than an hour but there was still nothing. The only thing Song Shiyu found was a very thin silver wire and a piece of paper under a rock not far away.
"Um... President Gu, our people can't find any traces of Madam... but they found the note Madam left behind."
Gu Zheng's heart jumped.
It was a napkin. A few words were hastily written with an eyeliner: [See you at the Meng family's banquet, scumbag!]
Gu Zheng: "..."
Great, she was fine.
After feeling relaxed for a moment, he felt tired and angry. Was this woman trying to scare him to death?!
He put the napkin into his pocket and waved at Song Shiyu. "Let's go to the Meng family's banquet."
He wanted to personally capture that bold woman!
