Chapter 557 The Pinker Her Clothes Are, The More Vicious She Is!
Yao Mengqing’s body trembled slightly as she said aggrievedly, “Ah Zheng, if Xi Xi hadn’t left, I wouldn’t have asked to be engaged to you. But she’s already gone. You… Can’t you turn around and notice me? We grew up together since we were young. It’s only right for us to be together.
“If you hadn’t married Qiao Xi back then, we might have gotten married a long time ago. Ah Zheng, why can’t you pity me?”.
With that, she cried uncontrollably in grief.
Gu Zheng sneered. “Miss Yao, if you’re crazy, quickly get yourself treated.”
“Ah Zheng!” Yao Mengqing’s lips trembled. “In order to marry you and be worthy of you, I went overseas to study alone. I worked hard for many years and created huge benefits for the Gu family’s company. Now that I’ve finally gotten my wish and am engaged to you, are you going to break the engagement for the woman who abandoned you?”
The Yao family immediately chimed in, “Yes, President Gu. Our Mengqing has been pampered since she was young and has never been wronged. However, for your sake, she’d rather be bullied by that woman, Qiao Xi. Now that the woman has finally left, how can you abandon Mengqing for her?”
“President Gu, Mengqing really loves you. The marriage has been set. You have to be responsible for Mengqing!”
These accusations made Gu Zheng frown. After a long silence, he sneered.
Yao Mengqing begged humbly, “Ah Zheng, Xi Xi has already left. Just forget about her. I’m your fiancée now. I won’t ask for anything else. I just hope that you can save me some dignity in front of everyone. After all, this is our engagement banquet. If there’s anything, we can talk about it in the future, okay?”
The beauty shed tears as her voice was filled with pleading. Everyone felt their hearts ache. No matter what, Yao Mengqing was the daughter of the Yao family. Now that she was begging her fiancé without caring about her reputation at the engagement banquet, she must have truly fallen in love with Gu Zheng.
Yao Mengqing was really infatuated. It made President Gu seem heartless.
“Miss Yao, why are you spouting nonsense in broad daylight?!”
At this moment, a cold female voice sounded. Everyone immediately looked in the direction of the voice.
The door slowly opened, and a graceful figure appeared like a fairy.
Gu Zheng’s eyes were gentle.
Yao Mengqing, who was at the side, was instantly stunned. Then, she was shocked. In the end, her expression turned ferocious, while her eyes were filled with horror.
Qiao Xi?
How was this possible? Wasn’t she dead?
Fear and shock surged in her heart like a cold tide. Yao Mengqing immediately took out her phone and stared fixedly at the message she received just now. The other party had clearly told her that the mission was completed. How could Qiao Xi appear here?
Everyone was extremely shocked, and the bodyguards stood coldly on the spot. Qiao Xi walked in front of everyone as if she was walking into an uninhabited place.
She was wearing a pink dress that outlined her beautiful figure. As she stood in the middle of the banquet hall, it was as if everyone wanted to worship her.
Qiao Xi walked in front of Yao Mengqing and raised her eyebrows in disdain. “Miss Yao, are you daydreaming? You actually claim to be Gu Zheng’s fiancée and even asked him to save you some face at the engagement banquet? After hearing your words, everyone will naturally think that you’re humbling yourself for Gu Zheng, while Gu Zheng seems heartless for treating his gentle fiancée like this. But…”
She was already slightly taller than Yao Mengqing to begin with. Now that she was wearing a pair of high heels, she looked down at Yao Mengqing condescendingly and said slowly, “Miss Yao, have you forgotten that I’m Mrs. Gu?!
“Gu Zheng and I haven’t divorced yet, yet you’re claiming to be Gu Zheng’s fiancée. You’re not even letting him think about his wife. What’s your intention?”
The entire venue was in an uproar.
The pinker her clothes were, the more vicious she was!
The moment Mrs. Gu appeared, the atmosphere in the entire banquet hall was different. It was as though there was gunpowder in the air. Yao Mengqing was speechless.
Qiao Xi stood in the same spot and beckoned to Gu Zheng. Then, everyone saw President Gu walk to Qiao Xi’s side like a loyal dog and hug her waist intimately.
Yao Mengqing looked at the two of them snuggling together and instantly felt betrayed. She was so angry that she almost gritted her teeth.
Why was Qiao Xi back? She should be dead!
Trash! They were all trash!
She was afraid that she would not be able to kill Qiao Xi with the poison, so she specially contacted an assassin from Ling Pavilion and gave them 20 million yuan. However, Qiao Xi was still alive! Could it be that Ling Pavilion failed?
Chapter 558 Going To The Gu Family To Snatch Her Husband!
Qiao Xi was not dead. What should she do, then?
However, even if Ling Pavilion failed, Qiao Xi would still be poisoned. The poison was incurable, and she would definitely die from bleeding from her seven apertures within seven days. Before long, Qiao Xi would still be dead. The position of Mrs. Gu still belonged to her.
Yao Mengqing suppressed the uneasiness in her heart as big teardrops fell. “Xi Xi, you abandoned Ah Zheng. Why did you come back to say such things? You’re no longer husband and wife. I’m Ah Zheng’s fiancée now.”
When she said that, everyone suddenly came to a realization. Chairman Gu had indeed said that he had tested Qiao Xi. It was Qiao Xi who heartlessly proposed a divorce and left with the money she got from the Gu family. This meant that she was no longer Gu Zheng’s wife.
When Madam Yao saw this scene, her eyes shifted, and she immediately berated, “Qiao Xi, you married President Gu for his money. As soon as you heard that he was in a car accident, you took the money and left. Now that you know it was just a test, you came back to ruin my daughter’s engagement. You’re really too much!
“Qiao Xi, you’re so heartless. Do you still have the delusion of wanting Mrs. Gu’s identity?”
Everyone looked at Qiao Xi in disdain. Back then, President Gu did not care about his family’s obstruction and insisted on marrying Qiao Xi. If she really agreed to divorce him for the sake of money, her intention of returning now was even more obvious.
President Gu and Yao Mengqing were about to get engaged, but Mrs. Gu, who had abandoned President Gu, suddenly came back. Was she here to snatch her husband?
Qiao Xi’s icy-cold gaze swept past everyone. After a long time, she smiled lightly. “You said that I accepted Chairman Gu’s money to abandon Gu Zheng?
“And Miss Yao passed the test, so she’s qualified to be Gu Zheng’s fiancée?”
Gu Weiming looked disgusted. “You know very well what you’ve done! The moment you heard that Ah Zheng had become disabled, you kicked up a fuss and asked for money to leave. Now that you know that nothing has happened to Ah Zheng, you came back eagerly. You’re a greedy woman!”
“Where’s the evidence?”
Qiao Xi slowly raised her eyes. “Chairman Gu, you said that I accepted your money, so there should be a transfer record, right? You would’ve made a phone call to me to get me to come over and talk to you too, right? Moreover, you know that I’m close to Ah Zheng. Why would I simply believe you if you said that Gu Zheng has become disabled? Couldn’t I just call Gu Zheng myself and ask him?
“Since Chairman Gu insists that I accept the money, then show me the evidence!” Everyone felt that Qiao Xi’s words made sense.
Gu Zheng and Gu Weiming had always been at odds with each other. Of course, Qiao Xi would not easily believe Gu Weiming’s words. Gu Weiming must have shown her something or said something.
Gu Weiming choked: “…”
“Xi Xi, you’ve already taken the money and abandoned Ah Zheng. What evidence do you need? If you didn’t leave secretly, why didn’t you come to the Gu family with Ah Zheng just now?”
Yao Mengqing pretended to be helpless. “Uncle Gu wanted to save you some dignity. He didn’t want to make things too big. Don’t be stubborn. It won’t do you any good if you continue to be in a deadlock here.”
Qiao Xi elegantly sat down, picked up a glass of red wine, and took a sip. Then, she smiled meaningfully. “Miss Yao, shouldn’t you be very clear about why I didn’t come with Gu Zheng?”
Yao Mengqing’s body trembled as she stammered, “I-I don’t know…”
Qiao Xi raised her hand and gestured. The lights on the big screen flashed, scaring Yao Mengqing to the point her entire body trembled.
Yao Mengqing was filled with horror. She suddenly had a bad feeling.
Every time Qiao Xi wanted to deal with her, she would reveal a confident smile as if everything was under her control.
However, what kind of place was Ling Pavilion? Even if they did not succeed, it was impossible for them to expose the information of their employer. Yao Mengqing was sure that Qiao Xi did not have any evidence.
Lu Yan stood in the crowd and had a bad feeling.
At this moment, Yao Mengqing suddenly looked up and saw a video on the screen.
“The person in this video… is Miss Yao?”
“Who’s that man?”
“What does Qiao Xi mean? Even if Miss Yao had met another man in private, it doesn’t mean anything. It might be a friend. What does this have to do with her?”
At this moment, Yao Mengqing looked terrified. Her lips were trembling so much that she could not say anything.
