Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself Chapter 1295

Chapter 1293 - 1293 Miss He, Are You Afraid?

1293 Miss He, Are You Afraid?

“It’s all because of her! She wore a fake Scorching Heart to attend the charity banquet. Miss He thought that this occasion was special and it was not suitable for her to wear a fake, so she advised this lady to take off the fake necklace to avoid embarrassing herself later. However, not only did she not listen to Miss He, but she even said that her necklace is genuine. She means to say that the necklace Miss He is wearing is fake!”

Hearing Lan Rong’s words, Cheng Juan, who was about to leave, stopped in his tracks. He slowly turned around, and his gaze landed on He Wenxian’s necklace. “Scorching Heart?”

He Wenxian was not nervous at all. Cheng Juan was an honored guest invited by her father. Her father must have already made plans. If they really got it appraised on the spot, Cheng Juan would not hesitate to say that her necklace was the real thing.

Moreover, Cheng Juan had worked with her father before. Since he agreed to attend the charity banquet, he must be extremely respectful to her father. He naturally would not speak up for outsiders.

If Cheng Juan said in public that Qiao Xi’s necklace was a fake, then Qiao Xi would not be able to explain herself.

He Wenxian’s eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at Qiao Xi with slight pride. Her father had always reminded her not to become enemies with Qiao Xi, but she was truly unable to control herself. What right did Qiao Xi have to occupy the position of Mrs. Gu? What right did she have to stand by Gu Zheng’s side? What was so good about her?

He Wenxian originally thought that she could renew her relationship with Gu Zheng after returning to the country this time, but she did not expect that Gu Zheng would have gotten married a long time ago. Moreover, the two of them were very close now. She had to hide the emotions in her heart at all times and respectfully call Qiao Xi ‘Mrs. Gu’. She even had to give a wedding gift to please Qiao Xi.

She was indignant!

Now, she could not openly become enemies with Qiao Xi, but she could make Qiao Xi make a fool of herself in public and let everyone know that Qiao Xi was utterly unqualified to be Gu Zheng’s wife. She could watch her reputation be ruined. When the time was right, she could kick Qiao Xi away and become the woman standing by Gu Zheng’s side.

Her thoughts quickly occupied her mind like a monstrous fire. He Wenxian looked away and said gently, “That’s right, it’s Scorching Heart.”

A trace of surprise flashed past Cheng Juan’s eyes as his gaze landed on her necklace.

Lan Rong, who was at the side, immediately provoked him. “Mr. Cheng, Wenxian’s necklace is the real deal. Miss Qiao is wearing a fake. This is an insult to the charity banquet. She doesn’t take the He family seriously at all.

“Moreover, she must have known that you would be attending the banquet, but she still decided to wear a fake in front of a noble jewelry appraiser like you. She’s clearly disrespecting you!”

Cheng Juan raised his eyes slightly and looked at Qiao Xi. His tone carried a trace of playfulness. “She’s wearing a fake?”

For some reason, He Wenxian became inexplicably nervous when she heard Cheng Juan’s voice. She hoped that Cheng Juan would quickly come to a conclusion. She wanted to see Qiao Xi lose all her dignity and be chased out by everyone.

Cheng Juan smiled brightly. “Miss Qiao, do you know what will happen if you wear fake jewelry in front of me?”

Everyone looked at Qiao Xi in unison. Her back was straight, and her figure was extremely perfect. The gorgeous ruby necklace made her skin look snow-white, and her entire body was glowing.

“I’m not too sure.” Qiao Xi shook her head indifferently.

Cheng Juan smiled. “Looks like you’re very confident, Miss Qiao.”

Qiao Xi blinked and said casually, “Because I’m sure that my necklace is real. It’s just that everyone else has publicly concluded that my necklace is fake. Isn’t this too arbitrary?”

Everyone was instantly stunned. Cheng Juan was already here, yet she still refused to admit it? What right did she have to be sure that her necklace was real?

He Wenxian subconsciously glanced at Cheng Juan, gritted her teeth, and continued to drive a wedge between them. “Xi Xi, how can you say that in front of Mr. Cheng?! Mr. Cheng will decide which necklace is real and which is fake. It’s better if you don’t—”

“Since that’s the case, why waste your breath, Miss He? Just get Mr. Cheng to appraise it as soon as possible. I think Mr. Cheng won’t refuse if you ask him. Or are you afraid and deliberately stalling for time?” Qiao Xi interrupted her mercilessly with a trace of ridicule in her tone.

He Wenxian’s heart trembled. She originally thought that Qiao Xi did not dare to get the necklaces appraised and was just thinking about how to get Qiao Xi to agree. Unexpectedly, Qiao Xi jumped into her trap herself.

He Wenxian wanted Cheng Juan to do the appraisal and give the final conclusion in front of everyone, but she was the gentle and kind eldest daughter of the He family. She could not force Qiao Xi openly. However, not only did Qiao Xi agree, but she was also anxious to do the appraisal.

Could it be that Qiao Xi did not know that since the He family was able to invite Cheng Juan, it meant that Cheng Juan was close to the He family and he would help the He family instead of an outsider like Qiao Xi?

Rumor had it that Qiao Xi had a weak constitution—a sickly beauty. Rumor had it that she spent a fortune every day on medications—eating them like candy. Rumor had it that ten servants waited on her by her bed every day—a burden to everyone. They were all waiting for the Qiao family to toss Qiao Xi back to the countryside and leave her to fend for herself. Qiao Xi: "They're all saying that I'm weak and can't take care of myself. Apparently, I spend money recklessly as well.” She looked down at her tattered shirt and was exasperated. Qiao Xi: “Are you saying that this wealthy family lets their daughter wear tattered clothes every day?” The Qiao family's rich daughter? She had enough! She would not be it anymore! Therefore… Scumbag guy: "Without the Qiao family, you're nothing." Qiao Xi: "If I'm kicked out of the Qiao family, I'll be done for." Scumbag girl: "Sis, don't be too disappointed. As long as you work hard, you'll be praised one day.” Qiao Xi: "Shut up, I don't know a traitor like you." The scumbag guy and girl: "???" Rumor had it that the Gu family's youngest son, Gu Zheng, rashly married a woman who had nothing but looks. Qiao Xi: "Is someone looking down on me?" One day, Qiao Xi saw one of Gu Zheng's employees racking his brains over a series of numbers on the computer screen. Since she was free, she lent a hand. Did she just crack the firewall created by the joint efforts of top elite hackers?! Gu Zheng inched closer with every step. "Qiao Xi, what else are you hiding from me? Hmm?" Qiao Xi: "Oh, no! I feel dizzy again! I'm so weak. This body of mine is just too weak!"
