She raised an eyebrow at Gu Zheng and pursed her lips with a smile. "How is it? Am I pretty today?"
Gu Zheng frowned. "Speak properly and don't deliberately do that with your voice. You sound like a male duck. It's horrible."
Qiao Xi: "???"
'I'm deliberately trying to seduce you by lowering my voice!'
This unromantic scumbag!
Qiao Xi was now sure that Gu Zheng was a block of wood. He was not even swayed by the presence of such a beautiful and peerless beauty like herself when she was standing in front of him. This man was definitely sick!
Gu Zheng's gaze vaguely swept past Qiao Xi before he curled his lips and said nothing else.
In the afternoon, Qiao Rou changed her clothes in front of the mirror. She wanted to choose the most beautiful and elegant dress to grab Gu Zheng's attention. After carefully dressing herself up, she carefully lifted her skirt and got into the car.
It was a great honor for the Qiao family and Gu Moling's family to be able to meet Gu Zheng. Hence, the two families were gathered in the Qiao family's villa early in the morning. The parents shared their concerns.
As they did not have any experience interacting with Gu Zheng, Gu Moling's mother specially instructed them before they left. "Although the head of the family is not easy to approach, since he's willing to meet you, it means that he still has a good impression of you. As long as you don't do anything to make the head of the family unhappy, it won't be a big problem. You must remember to seize this opportunity. As long as the head of the family is happy, there's nothing you can't get."
Qiao Rou nodded obediently. "I understand."
Gu Moling was wearing a smart suit. "Mom, we're leaving now. You should go back too."
Before they left, Qiao Rou sighed lightly. "I initially wanted Sister to go with us, but Sister... Sigh, forget it. Let's talk about it next time. After we get married, we'll have more chances to see the head of the family. At that time, I'll bring Sister over."
Xu Mei knew that her daughter was kind, but no matter how kind she was, she had to look at the occasion. Was this occasion something that b*tch Qiao Xi could attend?
"Rou Rou, you can't always think of your sister. You treat her as your sister, but she doesn't treat you as her sister. Today is such an important matter. If you bring Qiao Xi along, won't everything be ruined? If the head of the Gu family is unhappy, not only will our Qiao family be doomed but even Moling's family will suffer. So, you shouldn't always be so kind."
Xu Mei's words were spoken with emotions, but it sounded like a reprimand to Qiao Rou. She pursed her lips as a trace of displeasure flashed past her eyes.
Xu Mei also realized that she had said too much and quickly added, "Rou Rou, don't think too much. It's not that I'm being mean, but I just don't think that Qiao Xi is worthy of your kind treatment. She first stole your fiance, then tried to ruin your reputation. She even caused Qiao Corporation to be in a mess. Keep an appropriate distance with her in the future. Otherwise, not only will it not be good for you but you'll also get yourself into trouble."
Qiao Rou composed her expression and nodded lightly. "I know, Mom. It's just that I think everyone says that my sister doesn't know her own limits. They say that my sister is shameless. Although my sister is a little... She's my sister, after all. If I don't help her, what should she do? We're family, after all. Families should be more tolerant of each other."
Gu Moling was originally slightly disapproving of Xu Mei's words, but he nodded in satisfaction when he heard Qiao Rou's words. It seemed that Rou Rou was sensible and knew that the good of a family would always come with the bad. No matter how bad Qiao Xi's reputation was, she would not abandon her.
His Rou Rou was always so kind.
...
The car arrived at Longwan Residential. Although Longwan Residential was in the city, the environment was very quiet. The woods made people think that they had arrived at a utopia.
Qiao Rou looked at the scenery outside through the car window and had a new understanding of Gu Zheng's strength. This was the first time she came to Longwan Residential. In the past, she had always heard from others how luxurious Gu Zheng's house was. She heard from others that Gu Zheng's power was so great but nothing could compare to finally seeing it with her own eyes.
Gu Moling and his family were just a branch of the Gu family. Qiao Rou was already very satisfied with where they lived. Unexpectedly, compared to Gu Zheng, the difference was like night and day!
She could not help but think about how good it would be if Gu Zheng took a liking to her. In the future, she would be the mistress of his house... Although she would be letting Brother Moling down if she thought about it this way, after she got together with Gu Zheng, she would definitely tell him to take care of Brother Moling and his family. This way, the guilt in her heart would decrease by a lot.
