Chapter 677: A Servant Has So Much Nonsense To Say
Qiao Xi gasped and did not know how to answer.
The man’s eyes were filled with complicated emotions. “I’m sorry, but I need to temporarily occupy his body. He’ll be back soon.”
The two of them were silent the entire way. When they got out of the car, they saw Shen Ying standing at the door with a smile.
Gu Zheng opened the car door for Qiao Xi and said softly, “I don’t know how I appeared either. I can only say that I didn’t do it on purpose, but he’ll probably come back to accompany you tonight.”
Qiao Xi looked at him in disbelief. “Is the other personality so obedient?”
Gu Zheng smiled and did not say anything, but there were some inexplicable emotions in his eyes.
In Qiao Xi’s understanding, dual personalities were formed by two different ways of thinking. Moreover, the two ways of thinking operated independently and were not affected by their counterpart. It could even be said that they were competitors. However, Gu Zheng’s two personalities were very similar in certain aspects. Moreover, there was no competition between the two of them. They seemed to be very close, but their memories were different.
“President Gu, you must be tired after driving, right? Let me give you a massage.”
Before Qiao Xi could figure out the reason, she heard a sweet voice. She suddenly recalled that Shen Ying was still standing at the door.
Speaking of which, why did Gu Zheng bring this woman back to Longwan Residential? Was he trying to create trouble for her?
Shen Ying specially wore a tight, slit dress that outlined her voluptuous figure. She followed Gu Zheng in arrogantly.
The servants in Longwan Residential had complicated expressions, but this was the president’s private matter. They could not interfere and were waiting for Gu Zheng’s instructions. Unexpectedly, he went upstairs and left Shen Ying downstairs.
Shen Ying was embarrassed. She looked at Qiao Xi, who was beside her, and her eyes were filled with provocation. “Miss Qiao, I’m also President Gu’s woman. You were the first to enter this family, so I’ll call you ‘Sister’ from now on. Can we talk?”
Qiao Xi’s expression was calm. “What’s there to talk about?”
Seeing that she was not angry, Shen Ying was a little surprised. Qiao Xi was calm, so she said with a proud expression, “I was sent by Madam Gu to serve President Gu. I’m sincere about my feelings for President Gu, so, of course, I’m more attentive than you. Miss Qiao, you occupied President Gu alone in the past. I hope you know who he dotes on now.”
Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows. “So?”
The corners of Shen Ying’s mouth twitched slightly as she said coldly, “How can an outstanding man like President Gu only have one woman by his side? He did like you in the past, but now that the novelty has worn off, there’s nothing else to you. He brought me back to Longwan Residential, which means that the woman he likes now is me! If you’re sensible, you can still safely keep your position as Mrs. Gu. If you’re not sensible—”
Qiao Xi asked, “What can you do to me if I’m not sensible?”
Shen Ying said with a mocking expression, “Then you two can only get a divorce! Maybe President Gu won’t divorce you immediately because of your past relationship together, but he’ll definitely not be kind to you. You’ll still be the one getting hurt!
“Miss Qiao, I don’t want to go too far. As long as you’re respectful to me, I won’t make things difficult for you. I’ll even put in a few good words for you in front of President Gu to help you keep your position as Mrs. Gu.”
“What’s considered respectful?” asked Qiao Xi.
Shen Ying sat on the sofa with her legs crossed. She pointed at the teapot on the table. “Go! Get me a cup of iced coffee with no sugar. I want some pastries too. Don’t make them too sweet. Also—”
“Shen Ying.” At this moment, a man’s cold voice came from upstairs.
Shen Ying shuddered and looked up shyly. It seemed that President Gu wanted her to serve him. It was still broad daylight. It seemed that he had a lot of desires!
Gu Zheng stood upstairs and looked down at her. He said expressionlessly, “Make a cup of coffee and bring it up.”
Shen Ying was stunned for a few seconds before smiling. She ran to the kitchen and made a cup of coffee. She hurriedly carried it upstairs and said in a charming voice, “President Gu…”
Gu Zheng was looking at documents and ordered without raising his head, “Send it to Young Madam.”
Shen Ying’s expression froze as she asked in disbelief, “What? It’s for Young Madam? President Gu, but… but this is coffee I made for you. Try it, okay?”
“Just do what I tell you to do. You’re just a servant. Why do you have so much nonsense to say?!” Gu Zheng looked impatient.
The corners of Shen Ying’s mouth twitched. “I… I…”
“I asked you to brew a cup of coffee for Young Madam, but you’re unwilling. Is this how you’re supposed to be acting as a servant? The person Huang Lilan sent over is not good at all!” Gu Zheng said sarcastically.
Chapter 678: Not Lethal But Very Insulting
Shen Ying’s face was pale. How did she become a servant? She was clearly here to serve President Gu. She could make coffee for Gu Zheng, but how could she be ordered around by Qiao Xi?
Tears welled up in her eyes as she said pitifully, “President Gu, I… I’m here to serve you. I thought you understood what Madam Gu meant. I’m your—”
“Miss Shen, what do you think you’re here for?” Gu Zheng interrupted her and sneered. “The servant who was taking care of Young Madam’s daily needs has taken leave, so I agreed to bring you back. Otherwise, would you have been able to enter Longwan Residential?”
Shen Ying’s mind buzzed. She was the eldest daughter of the Shen family. Why should she serve Qiao Xi?
“Miss Shen, are you unqualified for this job?” Gu Zheng asked casually.
Shen Ying’s eyes turned red as she cried. “President Gu, Madam Gu asked me to be your woman. Even if you don’t like me, you shouldn’t insult me like this! Moreover, Miss Qiao didn’t object to you bringing me back. She doesn’t even care anymore, so why do you have to…”
Before she could finish, Shen Ying suddenly felt her neck tighten. A hand was grabbing her throat, tightening it as though the person wanted to break her neck.
Shen Ying looked at the man in front of her in horror. She could feel the cold killing intent in Gu Zheng’s eyes. As long as he exerted enough strength in his palm, her life would end right here.
Gu Zheng’s eyes were malicious and insidious, while his voice was cold. “Miss Shen, I don’t have time to talk nonsense with you! Before Huang Lilan sent you here, didn’t she tell you who I am?”
Shen Ying trembled and felt the air in her lungs being sucked out bit by bit. Her face turned red from being strangled. She subconsciously struggled a little. She felt like she was about to die.
How… could he kill someone?
“Serve Young Madam, do you understand?” Although it was a question, Gu Zheng’s voice was authoritative. As long as Shen Ying dared to say no, she would die here in the next second.
Gu Zheng released his hand, and Shen Ying’s body went soft as she fell to the floor. Air suddenly entered her lungs, and she could not help but cough violently. However, she did not dare to hesitate at all and hurriedly stammered, “I… Cough, cough… I’ll go make coffee for Young Madam.”
As she watched Shen Ying flee the study in horror, Qiao Xi asked curiously, “You asked Shen Ying to come to Longwan Residential just to make her a servant?”
Gu Zheng said, “That’s right! It just so happens that you lack someone to serve you, and she volunteered. With Madam Gu paying her salary, I’ll be getting a servant for free. Why don’t I use her, then?”
Qiao Xi remained silent. Gu Zheng had made a wise move.
Then, she heard Gu Zheng say slowly, “He doesn’t care about fighting with these women, but if he doesn’t teach them a lesson, they’ll naturally not let the matter rest. Hence, it’s better for me to handle this kind of matter. He has never cared about these petty things, which is why he made them think that he indulges them. However, I can’t tolerate such things.”
The person he was talking about was the original Gu Zheng. He indeed was never one to fight with women. When faced with Shen Ying’s brazen seduction, he would only turn a blind eye to it.
Even though what Gu Zheng did this time was not lethal, it was extremely insulting. Shen Ying would probably be so angry that she would not be able to sleep at night.
“He should be very happy that I helped him deal with these b*tches! Besides, they took the initiative to provoke me. It’s not too much for me to do this, right?”
Qiao Xi nodded obediently. “No, it’s not too much.”
The original Gu Zheng was more mature. He was steady and deep. He did not show his emotions on his face. Even if he could not stand Huang Lilan, he would not rashly make a move. However, this Gu Zheng would not indulge anyone. Whoever dared to provoke him would die without even knowing how!
After she finished speaking, Qiao Xi turned around and went downstairs, heading straight for the fridge.
Gu Zheng asked, “What are you going to take?”
Qiao Xi’s body stiffened. She thought that Gu Zheng’s memory was a mess and he would probably not care about her anymore. Hence, she pretended to be calm and replied, “I’m gonna eat ice cream. What’s wrong?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Zheng frowned. “Who allowed you to eat ice cream? What time is it now? And you still want to eat ice cream? Aren’t you worried about getting a stomach ache?
“You’re already so old, yet you’re still as gluttonous as a child. You’re eating so much ice cream. When your period comes, you’ll feel uncomfortable again. No wonder he kept reminding me to take care of you!”
Qiao Xi: “???”
What? Could it be that the two of them could talk?
…
On the other hand, Shen Ying made another cup of coffee and was about to send it over when the two of them went back to their room to rest. She could not suppress the anger in her heart and threw the exquisite coffee cup onto the floor.
