1211 Deep Love And Hatred
Gu Zheng’s tone was indifferent. “Since you’re preparing to work with Gu Corporation, you should have looked for my information. Didn’t you see the news that I’m already married?”
“I…” He Wenxian opened her mouth but did not know how to explain.
“Miss He, are you blind? Can’t you see that I’m holding hands with Mrs. Gu? Who else could appear in Longwan Residential and be so close to me other than Mrs. Gu?” Gu Zheng’s tone carried a trace of impatience.
The expression on He Wenxian’s face was still gentle. She was not angry. Instead, she greeted Qiao Xi enthusiastically, “It’s you, Mrs. Gu! Nice to meet you! It’s my first time visiting you, but I didn’t prepare a congratulatory gift. I’m really sorry. I hope you won’t mind. We’re all friends of Mr. Gu. I’ll make it up to you when I visit next time!”
After all, He Wenxian was quite enthusiastic about her, so Qiao Xi naturally responded with a smile and glanced at He Wenyin beside her. Her expression was intriguing. She was a little surprised as if she was asking He Wenxian, ‘Didn’t you already know that Gu Zheng was married?’
After all, He Wenyin was still young and did not know how to hide her emotions. Everyone in Li City knew that she and Gu Zheng were married. With He Wenxian’s connections, she naturally knew about it long ago. Why was she still pretending not to know?
“Miss He, welcome. But I’m not short of gifts,” Qiao Xi replied calmly.
He Wenxian had a gentle smile on her face, but in Qiao Xi’s opinion, this smile was filled with insidiousness. She refused so stiffly, but He Wenxian was not dissatisfied at all. She did not point out her mistakes, nor did she pretend to be pitiful like other women. It was as if nothing had happened.
Qiao Xi could not help but sigh. She had encountered an expert this time. If He Wenyin’s expression had not exposed everything, she would have really thought that He Wenxian was genuinely very friendly to her!
After a few seconds of silence, He Wenxian looked up at Gu Zheng. “Ah Zheng, I’m really sorry for visiting you rashly today. I hope you won’t take offense.”
“Miss He, since you think it’s inappropriate, you should leave immediately,” Gu Zheng said coldly. His words made the smile on He Wenxian’s face stiffen.
Qiao Xi understood in her heart. No matter what she said, it could not affect He Wenxian. However, Gu Zheng’s cold attitude had indeed hurt He Wenxian. This meant that her feelings for Gu Zheng were not pure!
He Wenxian looked hurt. “Ah Zheng, you weren’t angry when I came here often in the past. Why now… It’s probably because the He family hasn’t interacted much with you all these years. We’re strangers now.”
Qiao Xi pursed her lips tightly. He Wenxian said such words to show off in front of her. In the past, Gu Zheng was very close to the He family, so he was naturally very close to her. Now that Gu Zheng was so cold to her, it was probably because he had loved her deeply in the past and now hated her. He even hated the He family for severing ties with him and leaving the country. This meant that he had always cared about the He family.
Now that He Wenxian mentioned the He family, did she want Gu Zheng to let bygones be bygones on account of the He family’s past kindness?
However, Gu Zheng did not give her any hope. “Miss He, you said so yourself that it was in the past. We have nothing to do with each other now. I hope you can have some sense of propriety and not rashly disturb our lives.”
Song Shiyu pursed his lips. Did they really think that the president had a good temper? They had entered Longwan Residential rashly. They knew that their actions were wrong, but they refused to leave. They said so much nonsense just to get the president to help the He family establish themselves in Li City again. Did the He family think that everyone else was stupid?
He Wenxian’s expression did not change. “Ah Zheng, I know you blame us. If it weren’t for something important, I wouldn’t have suddenly come over.”
As she spoke, He Wenxian took out a document from her bag and said solemnly, “Previously, Gu Corporation was maliciously attacked and some data was leaked. I’ve already found out the other party’s information.”
Song Shijing took the document and flipped through it carefully. Then, he leaned toward Gu Zheng and whispered, “President, this information is real.”
Gu Zheng’s expression was still cold, but he did not refuse. Song Shijing understood what Gu Zheng meant. He turned to He Wenxian and said, “Miss He, please follow me to the living room.”
He Wenxian’s gaze flickered. In the past, when she came to look for Gu Zheng, he would always ask her to go to the study. Now, this assistant actually asked her to go to the living room.
Just as she was about to leave, He Wenxian turned to look at He Wenyin and said gently, “Wenyin, haven’t you always wanted to stay in Brother Ah Zheng’s house for a few days? You can ask Mrs. Gu to show you around now, but you can’t be willful. You have to be polite and not make Mrs. Gu angry. She’s Ah Zheng’s wife. You have to respect her.”
