Chapter 199: Gu Zheng Has Something That’s Difficult To Say
Qiao Xi’s face was filled with anger. “The Meng family has always made unreasonable requests because they saved the old master’s life once. Why are you still enduring it?”
She really did not understand. With Gu Zheng’s domineering character, why would he let the Meng family create trouble in his territory?
If it were anyone else, Gu Zheng would have long made them disappear from this world!
Gu Zheng’s eyes were slightly cold, and his voice was a little hoarse. “There are some things that can’t be explained clearly.”
Qiao Xi looked confused. Then, she remembered that Song Shiyu had said that the president only tolerated the Meng family’s coercion and allowed them to spread the news that Meng Wan was Mrs. Gu because Old Master Meng was threatening Gu Zheng to marry Meng Wan with someone’s belongings.
That day, he appeared at the Civil Affairs Bureau not because he really wanted to marry Meng Wan but because he wanted to get the relics.
What kind of relics could make the always decisive Gu Zheng endure this silently? What kind of relics could make the Meng family take advantage of him?
“You don’t have to worry. Everything is under my control,” Gu Zheng said casually.
Qiao Xi was filled with doubts and wanted to know what difficulties Gu Zheng had.
However, at the thought that they were not a true couple and would get a divorce when the time was right, it would not be good for her to know too many of his secrets. It was fine if he did not want to tell her.
Moreover, he clearly did not want her to know.
Qiao Xi lowered her eyes and turned around to leave helplessly.
As soon as she left, Song Shiyu ran out, looking confused. “President, why didn’t you tell the truth? Haven’t you been tolerating them because of Young Madam’s belongings? You went to the Civil Affairs Bureau because you wanted to meet her…”
Gu Zheng said in a self-deprecating manner, “Should I let her know that I didn’t go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to marry Meng Wan but it was premeditated?”
Song Shiyu nodded.
Previously, President Gu had been hiding it from Young Madam because the timing was not right. Now that their relationship was getting more intimate, it was time to tell her. This way, Young Madam would know the president’s intentions and not always scold him for being a bastard.
Song Shiyu thought that he was already worried sick about the president’s love life.
However, Gu Zheng remained calm. “Let’s not tell her first. I’m afraid she’ll be too happy if she finds out.”
The smile on Song Shiyu’s face froze as he rubbed his ears .”…” Happy?
‘My dear president, what is wrong with you?’
Young Madam had always thought that the president went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to marry Meng Wan and that marrying her was just an accident.
She would never have thought that this was a secret plan by the president. If she found out, it was hard to tell whether she would be happy or angry.
Song Shiyu looked serious. “President, I think you…”
Gu Zheng looked up indifferently. “Song Shiyu, you won’t be able to keep your salary if you say another word.”
The corners of Song Shiyu’s mouth twitched. The thought of his salary being deducted to zero made him say nonchalantly, “If you tell Young Madam, she won’t be happy at all because she doesn’t like you. You and she are just husband and wife in name…”
Gu Zheng glared at him. “We were only husband and wife in name in the past. Now, Qiao Xi already likes me very much. If I tell her that I’ve been wanting to marry her for a long time, she’ll definitely be very happy. Moreover, it’s a fact that Mrs. Gu likes me. I don’t have to tell her such boring things.”
Song Shiyu: “??”
The president was too narcissistic!
Why didn’t he know that Young Madam liked the president? The president was too good at making things up!
Song Shiyu said earnestly, “President, one has to face the truth. Since when does Young Madam like you? You’re just a bastard in her eyes. You have to change yourself, or at least get rid of your title as a bastard!
“If you tell Young Madam the truth, although she might not be happy, at least she’ll know how you feel. She’ll definitely think highly of you. Don’t keep living in your dreams and thinking too much. You can never change your image in Young Madam’s eyes… Huh? President! I’m not done talking yet!”
Song Shiyu stomped his feet. Why couldn’t the president just tell the truth?!
After Gu Zheng left, Song Shijing walked over with a frown. “You and the president… talk like this?”
Song Shiyu said that the president was delusional and that he was a bastard. He indeed deserved to have his salary deducted!
Song Shiyu, on the other hand, nodded confidently. “I’m doing this for the president’s own good. Young Madam keeps calling him a bastard. I think the president is a bastard too. Don’t you think so?”
Song Shijing: “…”
Actually, Song Shiyu should not be getting paid at all.
How did Song Shiyu, who had always been obedient to the president, become so arrogant?
Could it be that Qiao Xi had really changed them?
Young Madam often said that the president was a bastard. Even so, the president never got angry and Song Shiyu even learned from this.
What had the president been through in the past few months?
…
In the bedroom.
Qin An sent a message: [The news that Gu Zheng has Jinchuan Grass has already spread, but he doesn’t have any at all. Isn’t it inappropriate for you to be doing this?]
Chapter 200: The Gu Family’s Resentment Against Qiao Xi
Qiao Xi smiled lightly and replied: [Who says he doesn’t? He had in the past, but not anymore.]
Qin An looked puzzled.
Although he did not understand what she meant, he trusted Little Six.
Now that everyone outside knew that Gu Zheng had Jinchuan Grass, they would definitely think of a way to get it from him. However, Gu Zheng himself could not take it out.
What could Qiao Xi do to make everyone transfer their anger to the Meng family?
…
After Old Master Meng left the Gu family, he was sent to the hospital. Meng Wan gritted her teeth in anger and rushed to the Gu family’s old mansion.
Tears welled up in her eyes, making her look aggrieved. “Grandpa Gu…”
Old Master Gu looked at her affectionately. “Wan Wan, you said that your grandfather is sick? What exactly is going on?”
Meng Wan sobbed. “That day, I went to Longwan Residential to look for Brother Gu Zheng and accidentally drove over a few of Qiao Xi’s flowers. She refused to let the matter go and insisted that Brother Gu Zheng cut off all ties with the Meng family. After that, Grandpa brought me to apologize, but Qiao Xi still didn’t forgive me!
“My grandpa thought of just letting things be, but he’s seriously ill and needs Jinchuan Grass. Brother Gu Zheng happens to have it, but…
“That Qiao Xi caused trouble again. Not only did she not give us Jinchuan Grass but she also angered my grandpa. Grandpa is in the hospital now and his survival is still uncertain. I can only look for you, Grandfather Gu. Sob, sob, sob…”
Meng Wan cried and shouted, “Grandpa Gu, I’ve already apologized. I only crushed a few stalks of grass, but Qiao Xi smashed all of the Meng family’s cars. However, she’s still dissatisfied!
“Ever since she married Brother Gu Zheng, our families have been growing more distant from each other. Now, we have to cut off all ties between our families. Grandpa Gu, if this goes on, the Gu family will be ruined by her!”
Old Master Gu frowned.
Back then when he asked Gu Zheng to marry Meng Wan, that lad did not agree. However, he married such a woman.
What was worse was that he allowed that woman to do as she pleased, including severing all ties with the Meng family.
Old Master Gu advised softly, “Wan Wan, I know that you like Gu Zheng. If he had married you, there wouldn’t be so many problems. But since he married that woman, it has brought a negative impact on the Gu family.”
Tears trickled down Meng Wan’s face. “I just hope that Brother Gu Zheng can be happy. It doesn’t matter if I can’t marry him, but Miss Qiao is too willful. She doesn’t care about Brother Gu Zheng’s future at all.”
When Old Master GU heard that Gu Zheng had over a hundred stalks of Jinchuan Grass, even his eyes could not help but light up.
All these years, he had actually been secretly looking for Jinchuan Grass. It turned out that Gu Zheng had so many. He actually hid them from everyone?
Old Master Gu’s expression darkened. “Old Wu, call Gu Zheng and Qiao Xi over!”
“He actually disregarded the life and death of his elder and refused to hand over Jinchuan Grass? Could it be that he’s willing to cut ties with everyone for that woman?”
…
Qiao Xi had just gotten off work when a luxury car appeared in front of her. The butler of the Gu family’s old residence slowly walked out.
Qiao Xi sneered in her heart. She had long expected that Meng Wan would look for Old Master Gu. If the old man knew that Gu Zheng had Jinchuan Grass, he would definitely be jealous and want to take this opportunity to get Gu Zheng to divorce her.
He wanted her to go to the Gu family’s old mansion just to argue with her. If she did not blow this matter up, how would she deal with the Meng family?
At this moment, a group of people was sitting in the living room of the old mansion. They were all the Gu family’s relatives and friends.
As soon as Qiao Xi entered, Madam Gu said coldly, “Qiao Xi, we were against you marrying Gu Zheng in the beginning, but as long as you truly cared about Gu Zheng and the Gu family, we wouldn’t be able to do anything about it. However, you’ve gone too far now!
“Wan Wan only destroyed a few flowers and plants. It was an accident, but you made Gu Zheng cut off all ties with the Meng family. You’re too willful!”
Madam Gu put on the posture of an evil mother-in-law. “You smashed the Meng family’s cars, so you have to apologize to Wan Wan. If she forgives you, then we can forget about this matter. If she doesn’t agree, then you and Gu Zheng will divorce immediately!”
Everyone looked at Qiao Xi with gazes of ridicule and even disdain.
Qiao Xi had a composed expression as she slowly said, “Madam Gu, Meng Wan was the one who made the mistake first. Why should I apologize to her?”
Madam Gu blurted out, “Wan Wan is a rich missy. Are you qualified to compare yourself to her? You relied on seducing Gu Zheng to get to where you are today. It’s fine if you had behaved yourself, but you even caused trouble and caused the Meng and Gu families to be separated. As your mother-in-law, I have to discipline you. Are you going to apologize or not?”
Everyone nodded in agreement and said sarcastically, “Miss Qiao, the Gu and Meng families have been friends for many years. It’s because of you that the two families ended up in the current state.”
“That’s right. Back then, Gu Zheng had just casually married you. Are you qualified to compare yourself to Miss Meng? You’ve already angered Old Master Meng to the point of falling ill. Shouldn’t you apologize?”
