Chapter 243: Digging Up His Identity
Qiao Xi’s expression turned cold.
Where did this stupid man come from? Her man? This stupid man was talking about Gu Zheng?
The matter had blown up. The waiter and waitresses quickly cleared the area and apologized to the customers.
Soon, there were only the staff members and the three of them left.
When Jin Weiwei heard this, she cried out in surprise. “I didn’t expect her to be your friend’s woman. I’m really sorry, but why don’t we forget about it…”
Chen Chi quickly interrupted, “Why should we? She bullied you, so should I just let it go? She’s just a mistress who covets money. You’re my girlfriend, so you don’t have to give in to her!
“Moreover, Miss Qiao’s man and I are childhood friends. Although we haven’t been in contact for the past few years, there are still past sentiments.”
Then, he shouted coldly, “Apologize to my girlfriend!”
Chen Chi had a look of satisfaction.
So what if Qiao Xi was together with Gu Zheng? He and Gu Zheng were childhood friends and he knew Gu Zheng very well. He did not even fancy Mengqing, so how could he like other women?
Moreover, his girlfriend had been bullied. If news of this got out, he would lose his reputation.
When Chen Chi saw Qiao Xi remaining silent, he thought that she was afraid and became even more arrogant. “I don’t think you have the money to compensate. As long as you apologize, this matter will be settled. I won’t make things difficult for you anymore.”
Jin Weiwei covered her face and laughed. “Miss Qiao, it’s not easy for you to be a mistress, so you don’t have to compensate me. However, you dirtied my dress. Shouldn’t you at least apologize?”
Qiao Xi was angered to the point of laughing.
In the end, this adulterous pair was mocking her for being a mistress.
She knew that Young Master Chen knew Gu Zheng and Yao Mengqing.
Hence, Young Master Chen was probably Yao Mengqing’s friend or relative. He was here to stand up for her.
Chen Chi sneered. “Miss Qiao, what’s wrong? If you don’t apologize, don’t blame me for being nasty. By then, you won’t even be able to be my mistress!”
The wait staff did not dare to breathe loudly. Qiao Xi sneered, her eyes cold.
“Oh? Young Master Chen, are you so capable?
“It’s just that there doesn’t seem to be a rich family with the surname Chen in Li City. However, Yao Corporation went bankrupt a few years ago and after that, the entire family moved overseas. The Yao family has in-laws surnamed Chen. Could it be that you’re from this family, Young Master Chen?”
Qiao Xi cried out in surprise, “So the Young Master Chen who has just returned from overseas is actually so capable?”
An awkward atmosphere spread.
Qiao Xi revealing Chen Chi’s true identity in public immediately caused his expression to turn livid.
“B*tch!”
Jin Weiwei cursed and roared, “Aren’t you just a mistress? If it weren’t for that man, you might even be sleeping with everyone! Ah Chi is asking you to apologize to give you a way out. Don’t be ungrateful!”
Chen Chi nodded, and his expression softened a little.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Xi laughed with ridicule and spoke once more.
“Miss Jin, I’m not talking to you. Why are you acting up by yourself?
“You said that you’re Young Master Chen’s girlfriend, but why have I seen you with different men? Speaking of which, you’re the one who’s a mistress, right? It must be hard accompanying different men every day, right?”
Jin Weiwei’s face was filled with horror, and she was so scared that her face turned pale.
Everyone looked at Jin Weiwei. From what Miss Qiao said, Jin Weiwei was not Young Master Chen’s girlfriend?
Jin Weiwei was so angry that she gnashed her teeth and roared, “B*tch! You’re slandering me! You’re a mistress yourself! But you’re wrongly accusing me too! I-I’ll tear you apart! Ah…”
She bared her fangs and brandished her claws as she rushed over. Before she could touch Qiao Xi, she was kicked by someone and abruptly flew out. She fell heavily to the floor and felt her entire body crumble.
At this moment, a dignified voice was heard.
“Who said she’s a mistress?”
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice. The person was exuding a suppressive aura. His footsteps were steady and he had the aura of a king.
Gu Zheng was calm as he glanced at the crowd indifferently and finally looked at Jin Weiwei.
His eyes were deep and filled with endless coldness. It made one shudder.. Jin Weiwei only felt intense fear surge into her heart.
Chapter 244: We’re Not Friends
Jin Weiwei was the daughter of an ordinary family, but she had always wanted to squeeze into high society. Therefore, she had seen many pictures of rich young masters, but she had never seen this man before. Therefore, he should not be a big shot!
Her boyfriend was the young master of the Chen family. Would she be afraid of him? Hence, she shouted, “Who the heck are you? How dare you kick me? I’ll kill…”
Smack!
Chen Chi raised his hand and slapped her hard. He gritted his teeth and said, “Shut up!”
His face was ashen, and his body was trembling.
Gu… Gu Zheng?
Qiao Xi had clearly come with Gu Yao, so why was Gu Zheng here as well? Was he also here for barbecue?
Gu Zheng’s eyes were deep as he lowered his eyes to look at Jin Weiwei. He said firmly, “Qiao Xi is my wife. A good-for-nothing’s mistress can’t compare to her!”
Jin Weiwei’s face was filled with shock, and she even forgot to breathe.
She did not understand why Chen Chi was so respectful to this man.
Chen Chi’s expression was ugly. Gu Zheng had scolded the two of them.
He was the good-for-nothing he mentioned!
His mistress was Jin Weiwei.
However, he did not dare to retort. He nodded and bowed, saying obsequiously, “President Gu, why are you here?”
Hearing him address this man as ‘President Gu’, everyone’s hearts skipped a beat.
Gu Zheng raised an eyebrow. “Do I need to report to you that I’m here?”
Chen Chi was so scared that his face turned pale. His forehead was covered in a cold sweat as he said tremblingly, “You… You’ve misunderstood. I… I…”
Previously, Yao Mengqing had a good relationship with Gu Zheng. Hence, he, her cousin, gained some reputation in high society as well. Everyone was respectful toward him when they saw him. When had he ever been so embarrassed?
Gu Zheng’s cold gaze landed on him. “Did you just say that my wife can’t even be your mistress?”
Chen Chi was trembling in fear as he stammered while explaining, “I… I didn’t know she was your wife. If I knew, I wouldn’t have been rude to her. Please let me off…”
Gu Zheng said indifferently, “You don’t know just because she didn’t say anything? I don’t believe that Yao Mengqing didn’t tell you that Qiao Xi has already married me.”
Chen Chi gasped!
He was just about to explain when he heard Gu Yao say in confusion, “Sister Mengqing knows that Qiao Xi and my brother are married. If she didn’t tell you, how could you possibly know Qiao Xi? How would you know about Qiao Xi’s relationship with my brother?”
Chen Chi thought that Qiao Xi was Gu Zheng’s kept woman. It was either Chen Chi had deliberately said it or the person who told him this was deliberately misleading him.
These words scared Chen Chi so much that his legs went weak. He suddenly knelt in front of Gu Zheng, his face filled with horror.
At this moment, Gu Zheng was really too scary. He did not move at all and just stood there, making others wet their pants in fear.
Chen Chi really could not believe that Gu Zheng would care about a woman. He did not even fancy Mengqing, so how could he fancy someone from the Qiao family?
Could it be that this woman had tricks up her sleeve?
“Cousin, Weiwei, you two… Ah Zheng?”
At this moment, a weak female voice sounded.
Yao Mengqing walked over slowly and was surprised to see everyone. “Ah Zheng, why are you here? Why are my cousin and Weiwei on their knees?”
Chen Chi seemed to have found a ray of hope and hurriedly rushed in front of Yao Mengqing. “Sister! Quickly plead for me!”
Yao Mengqing lowered her head to look at Chen Chi, then at Jin Weiwei. Finally, her gaze landed on Qiao Xi.
She slowly walked in front of Qiao Xi and said gently, “Xi Xi, what did my cousin and Weiwei do wrong? Weiwei’s dress is dirty now. We’re all friends… Can we just let the matter go? Let them pack up and we’ll leave right away!”
Chen Chi nodded fervently.
Qiao Xi looked at Chen Chi who was kneeling on the floor and sneered in her heart.
‘Weren’t you noisy just now? Didn’t you want to continue quarreling? Weren’t you quite capable just now? Why are you so scared that you knelt on the floor the moment you saw Gu Zheng?’
Yao Mengqing pretended not to know anything. Actually, she had been hiding in the dark for a long time.
‘We’re all friends’?!
Qiao Xi was just about to retort when Gu Zheng said slowly, “Miss Yao, we’re not friends.”
Yao Mengqing’s expression froze.
Gu Zheng said, “Even if you’re my friend, you can’t make my wife suffer. What more if you aren’t my friend?”
