1349 It’s Not Too Much To Want One of Young Master Tan’s Hands, Right?
After Huo Yuzhou hung up the phone, his pupils suddenly constricted when he looked at the computer again. The emails sent to Qiao Xi had all become ‘read’.
Five minutes ago, Qiao Xi returned to her room. She really did not understand why Huo Yuzhou thought that she would accept his gifts and flowers. Back then, he set fire to the library and stole her grandfather’s medical book. He even almost caused her grandfather’s death. No normal person would forgive him.
It was a little boring to be alone in the room, so Qiao Xi sat on the bed with her laptop and casually browsed some things. She suddenly recalled the man’s words outside the door just now. Huo Yuzhou seemed to have sent her a lot of emails.
Qiao Xi suddenly became interested and entered her inbox. She saw that the man had sent about 50 emails over the years, so Qiao Xi started reading from the beginning.
…
At this moment, in the Brook family’s residence, Madam Tan and Tan Yu’s villa was eerily quiet. The servants and bodyguards seemed to have disappeared. The huge villa was empty.
Madam Tan looked at the tall man in front of her, her heart filled with fear.
Gu Zheng’s light brown eyes were calm as he glanced at Song Shijing indifferently. Song Shijing understood instantly and went forward to tear off the tape on Madam Tan’s mouth.
A few days ago, in the Xia family’s villa in Li City, Madam Tan had seen Gu Zheng. This man was as powerful and handsome as the rumors said.
However, Madam Tan, who had always been arrogant, felt that Gu Zheng was just a paper tiger. She had already run to Li City to snatch Qiao Xi, but Gu Zheng did not even dare to do anything to her and even let them return to Y Nation. Since he did not even dare to make a move in Li City, what could he do in Y Nation?
However, Madam Tan did not expect that when she woke up from her afternoon nap in the bedroom, she and her son were both tied up. There was also tape on their mouths, so they could only whimper helplessly.
Madam Tan had never seen such a scene before. At first, she thought that it was a kidnapping, but this was her villa. There were dozens of bodyguards guarding outside. Who could silently barge into the villa and kidnap them?
Just as Madam Tan was feeling puzzled, Gu Zheng and his assistant walked in. He clearly did not say a word, but for some reason, he could still make her shudder.
As soon as the tape was torn off, Madam Tan shouted in horror, “Daniel!”
“Madam Tan, don’t waste your effort,” Song Shijing said with a smile, but to Madam Tan, that smile was as scary as a ghost. “I’m sorry, but your butler, Daniel, won’t appear. No one will disturb our president until he’s done.”
Madam Tan’s heart thumped violently. The usually elegant noble madam had never been in such a sorry state.
Gu Zheng sat opposite Madam Tan. His tall body was as perfect as a sculpture. His dark and deep eyes were fixed on Madam Tan, and his body exuded a cold killing intent.
He looked at Madam Tan quietly. After a moment of silence, the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up into a disdainful smile. “Madam Tan, we meet again.”
Madam Tan’s heart was in her throat, and her face instantly turned pale!
He… Why did he break into her villa? Where were all the bodyguards and servants outside?
“Madam Tan, you must be very curious about where your people have gone.” Gu Zheng had only glanced at her and already guessed her thoughts. He said casually, “Song Shijing made it very clear just now that no one will disturb you until you answer my question, so you don’t have to call for help.”
Madam Tan took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She was the madam of the Brook family. Although she was not valued by the head of the family, she could not lose her dignity in front of outsiders. Her voice trembled slightly. “You… You want to take revenge for Qiao Xi?”
Gu Zheng raised an eyebrow. “Madam Tan, you’re not stupid.”
Madam Tan felt that she was about to break down. Yesterday, Huo Yuzhou had already come to punish her. For Qiao Xi’s sake, he grounded the mother and son. He even suspended her position in the company. Now, Gu Zheng suddenly barged into her villa to take revenge for Qiao Xi.
For a woman, were they going to go against the madam of the Brook family? Moreover, Qiao Xi was unharmed. She had already paid such a huge price. What else did Gu Zheng want?
Madam Tan trembled nervously. “President Gu, what exactly are you doing?”
“What do you think?” Gu Zheng suddenly looked up, and a cold glint flashed past his eyes. He casually looked at Tan Yu and said the coldest words in the calmest tone, “Everyone knows that I dote on Mrs. Gu, but Young Master Tan coveted her and even wanted to touch her face. It’s not too much for me to ask for one of Young Master Tan’s hands, right?”
