Chapter 151: Using The Family Law
Madam Gu’s gaze was sharp as she gritted her teeth. “Gu Zheng, it has already come to this point yet you’re still protecting her. Shen Ying has already been disfigured, and Qiao Xi, the initiator, is standing right here. She even said so many nasty words. You…”
Before she could finish, Gu Zheng raised his hand and interrupted Madam Gu.
Song Shiyu took out a laptop and placed it on the table with a mocking smile.
Gu Zheng’s eyes were filled with coldness. “My wife is kind-hearted and would not do such a thing. Even if she did, it’s Shen Ying who deserves it. She could have provoked anyone but she chose to provoke my wife. So, is Miss Shen still going to pursue the matter?”
Kind-hearted?
Shen Ying’s face turned pale as she pursed her lips.
Madam Gu and Madam Wang looked at Gu Zheng with anger. “What are you talking about? Are you saying that Shen Ying deliberately provoked Qiao Xi? She’s such an obedient child!”
“Shen Ying likes you. She’s the one who should be by your side. Unfortunately, you married such a vicious wife and are causing trouble everywhere. You’ve simply disgraced the Gu family!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Song Shiyu turned on the laptop and played a video.
Shen Ying had a bad feeling.
Gu Zheng smiled coldly and said, “The game is over. Miss Shen, are you still going to continue… acting?”
Although he spoke casually, it was like a sharp knife that stabbed into Shen Ying’s heart.
Shen Ying’s body instantly trembled as she looked at Gu Zheng in disbelief.
Could it be that Gu Zheng knew that she was pretending?
Impossible!
While Shen Ying was panicking, Song Shiyu pushed the laptop in front of everyone. The video was of Qiao Xi and Shen Ying.
After Qiao Xi entered, the two of them had a short conversation. Although the surveillance footage did not have audio, Shen Ying’s arrogant expression could not be hidden.
She pretended to be weak in front of others, but in front of Qiao Xi, she was like a snake spitting out its venom. Her face was really disgusting to look at.
Right when Qiao Xi turned around and was about to leave, a trace of resentment flashed through Shen Ying’s eyes as she fiercely slammed herself into the wall. Blood flowed down her forehead.
The surveillance camera had captured everything clearly. Qiao Xi did not even touch Shen Ying’s finger.
Immediately, there was silence. Madam Gu and Madam Wang’s faces were pale. Shen Ying’s body was trembling, and she gradually fell into a dead silence.
Clap, clap, clap!
Gu Zheng clapped lazily. “Miss Shen, you act well. Do you still have the cheek to say that my wife hurt you?”
Shen Ying panicked as tears streamed down her face. “I… I probably just lost my balance and fell. I was dizzy from the collision and mistakenly thought that Miss Qiao pushed me. I really didn’t do it on purpose, I…”
Gu Zheng smirked. Song Shiyu, who was next to him, handed him a report. “Although you hit your head, it’s just a small cut on your skin. It looks serious, but in reality, you didn’t even get a mild concussion. Shen Ying, are you qualified to trick me?”
Shen Ying gritted her teeth. She knew that the matter had been completely exposed. If she continued to pretend, she would definitely suffer an ugly end.
She cried loudly, “Brother Gu Zheng, I really like you. I only did this because I found out that you have a wife. Miss Qiao is very good, but she doesn’t suit you. I know that I shouldn’t have done that, but I did it for you!”
Madam Gu’s expression darkened. She was dissatisfied with Shen Ying’s lies and even more dissatisfied with Gu Zheng’s unwillingness to let the matter go for Qiao Xi’s sake.
Not long after locking Qiao Xi in the dark room, he so aggressively rushed in.
Seeing that the situation was out of control, Madam Wang immediately stepped forward to mediate the situation. “Gu Zheng, Shen Ying was just being silly. Actually, she’s a kind child. Since the matter has been investigated and Miss Qiao is fine, why don’t we just forget about it? It won’t be pleasant if news of this gets out.”
“Forget it?” Gu Zheng raised an eyebrow, and everyone immediately became nervous.
“Sure.”
Hearing Gu Zheng’s words, Shen Ying immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
Gu Zheng was still considerate toward her. Moreover, Qiao Xi was safe and sound now, so he would not bear to punish her.
Just as she was fantasizing about what to do next, Gu Zheng’s cold voice was heard.
“I heard that you wanted to punish my wife, but the truth is that she was wronged. Only those who have really committed mistakes should be punished.”
Shen Ying’s face turned pale!
What?
Gu Zheng… wanted to use the family law on her?
She gasped, a chill rushing through her.
Chapter 152: Beat You Up Together
The Gu family’s law was harsh. If she took a few blows, her flesh and blood would probably be ruined.
Madam Wang was stunned, then she cried out loudly, “Young Master Gu, please let Shen Ying off! She’s so delicate and fragile. If she can’t handle the family law, she’ll die!”
Gu Zheng’s expression was calm. “When you wanted to hit my wife, why didn’t you think about whether she could take it?”
Shen Ying burst into tears. She was filled with resentment. Why was that b*tch Qiao Xi able to marry Brother Gu Zheng and even receive his protection?
Qiao Xi was just a country bumpkin while she was the daughter of a rich family. The two of them were worlds apart.
Moreover, Qiao Xi was not injured while she had injured her head.
Madam Gu’s expression darkened. “Gu Zheng, it’s not wrong to say that Shen Ying likes you. Moreover, I was the one who locked Qiao Xi up in the dark room. Are you going to hit me, too?”
Gu Zheng chuckled and said, “You have to be punished for doing something wrong. Since you took the initiative to ask, of course, you can take a beating too.”
“You…”
Madam Gu was furious.
This was crazy!
For the sake of Qiao Xi, Gu Zheng had really gone mad. He actually wanted to hit his mother!
Gu Zheng looked at Song Shiyu indifferently. Song Shiyu immediately understood. He pushed the door open and gestured to the bodyguards outside.
The bodyguards rushed in and pressed Shen Ying down roughly.
“Madam Gu! Aunt…” Shen Ying struggled weakly and looked at Gu Zheng in a panic. “Brother Gu Zheng! Master Gu! I was wrong. Please let me off! ”
“Gu Zheng!” Madam Gu roared. She did not expect Gu Zheng to be so bold. She was burning with anger and her whole body was trembling. “Stop it!”
“Say what you want. You can’t stop me from doing what I want to do, Madam Gu!”
Gu Zheng was playing with a dart that had exquisite patterns on it. He glanced at Madam Gu and chuckled. “I don’t even take you seriously. It’s just Shen Ying. Why can’t I deal with her? Or do you want to be punished together with Shen Ying?”
Madam Gu was unable to restrain her anger. “You bastard! How dare you speak to your mother like this? You’re actually going to beat Shen Ying to death for a b*tch? How is that b*tch Qiao Xi worthy to be the daughter-in-law of the Gu family—”
Bang!
A loud bang interrupted Madam Gu.
The dart in Gu Zheng’s hand brushed past Madam Gu and pierced itself into the wall behind her.
He said casually, “Madam Gu, watch your words. If you say the word ‘b*tch’ again, I can’t guarantee that I’ll be able to hold myself back.”
With that, he turned around to leave while the bodyguards dragged the crying Shen Ying out. Madam Gu and Madam Wang were trembling all over and did not say a word.
After Qiao Xi returned to her room, she received a WeChat message from Qin An.
[Little Six, are you participating in the translation competition? I heard that the professional translator, Fan Wenyuan, is accepting a disciple. Do you want to be his disciple?]
Qiao Xi was not interested. [No.]
Qin An replied: [No problem. You’re talented, so it’s okay if you don’t like him.]
Qiao Xi tossed her phone to the side. It was not that she looked down on anyone, but she felt that it was too boring. Gu Zheng’s face was all she could think of.
Why was he so worried about her? He could ignore everything just to save her?
Qiao Xi seemed to have sensed a trace of inexplicable emotion in her heart. In the past, she was used to being strong and independent. She did not rely on anyone, but now that Gu Zheng had appeared, he would stand up for her and even protect her.
“Young Master Gu locked Miss Shen in the dark room. Madam is about to die of anger…”
At this moment, the voices of a few servants sounded, causing Qiao Xi to be slightly surprised.
Gu Zheng had really locked Shen Ying up. She thought that he would not disobey Madam Gu.
Just as she was thinking about it, her phone beeped again.
[Little Six, the fiance the old man arranged for you is in the Gu family. Do you want to hide?]
Qiao Xi was instantly petrified.
The legendary big shot who made the old man and Third Brother feel reverence was in the Gu family?
At this moment, the door suddenly opened and Gu Zheng walked in.
Qiao Xi put down her phone to avoid her messages being seen by Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng had mentioned her fiance last time and he did not look too good. If Gu Zheng found out that the man was in the Gu family, he would tear down the roof.
Gu Zheng’s eyes narrowed as he noticed Qiao Xi’s actions.
Ding!
Her phone beeped continuously.
[Little Six, let me tell you. That big shot is incredible. He has extremely few precious treasures in the world. Those things are priceless.
[He has a great reputation overseas but is very low-profile in the country. Few people have seen him, especially in the academic research community. No one can compare to him. In short, he’s indeed a big shot!]
Qiao Xi’s heart jumped. No wonder even the old man, who was so arrogant, was full of praise for him.
