Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself Chapter 138

Chapter 138 - Looks Like You’re Quite Smart, Mrs. Gu

Qiao Xi frowned as she pondered. She suddenly recalled that not long ago, Gu Zheng had told her to go to the Gu family’s old residence and act like a loving couple with him in front of the Gu family.

Could it be that they would be going today?!

Seeing that she had recalled something, Gu Zheng smiled and said, “Looks like you’re quite smart, Mrs. Gu.”

Qiao Xi: “…”

Gu Zheng said, “I’ve checked your schedule. You don’t have any classes today, so please go ahead, Mrs. Gu.” He opened the car door and gestured for Qiao Xi to get in.

Qiao Xi subconsciously wanted to refuse. She was not prepared at all, so how could she go to the Gu family’s old residence? However, at this moment, Gu Zheng suddenly leaned close to her and said with a hot breath, “If you perform well this time, I can promise you something. Perhaps what you most wish for…”

He pointed at his lips, the meaning evident.

It had to be said that Gu Zheng’s actions were too tempting! Gu Zheng was especially strict with his own body. Qiao Xi could not even launch a sneak attack if she wanted to. She could only eat those bitter-tasting foods every day, and it was to the point where she almost doubted her life.

Qiao Xi could not refuse such temptation and stammered, “Alright, a man must keep his word and not go back on his word. Moreover, I promised you a long time ago that I would go to the Gu family. It’s only right that I go with you now.”

She did not want to look like a pervert who only cared about Gu Zheng’s body.

Gu Zheng stared at her for a while. It was unknown whether he believed her or not, but when Qiao Xi was at a loss for what to do, he suddenly chuckled. “Right, so Mrs. Gu, can you get in the car now?”

The old residence of the Gu family was a little remote. The old residence covered an exceptionally large area, and the antique-looking house looked very historic.

It was said that this house used to belong to a certain king. After that, the head of the Gu family took a liking to it and spent a sky-high price to buy it. It became the old residence of the Gu family. From this, it could be seen that the Gu family was not a rich family but a family that had gone through history but was new at the same time.

This family’s heritage ran very deep.

If it were anyone else, they would be shocked to see such a house at first glance. However, Qiao Xi was different. She had been with her master and seniors since she was young. At that time, the place they lived in was not much different from the Gu family’s old residence. It was even slightly more historic than this old residence.

They arrived at the living room.

Gu Zheng glanced at Qiao Xi, who was some distance away from him. He sighed helplessly. “Mrs. Gu, could it be that in your heart, a loving couple has to walk so far away from each other?”

Qiao Xi: “…”

She turned her head to look at the distance between her and Gu Zheng before silently moving a little closer together. Gu Zheng nodded in satisfaction, then reached out to her. “Give me your hand.”

Hand?

Qiao Xi was bewildered. Could it be that they had to hold hands while walking?

“There’s no need, right? I don’t think this is necessary. Think about those couples on the road. They don’t even hold hands when they walk.”

Unfortunately, her words were like the wind in Gu Zheng’s ears. Since Qiao Xi did not take the initiative to give him her hand, he would hold it himself. The man grabbed her little hand without asking any questions. The sudden scorching temperature caused Qiao Xi’s face to turn red, and she staggered a little. She was led into the living room by Gu Zheng just like that.

At this moment, there were already some people waiting in the living room. At a glance, there were about 14 to 15 people.

Unfortunately, all of their expressions were not too pleasant to look at. Qiao Xi blinked, then looked at her interlocked hand with Gu Zheng’s. She was suddenly enlightened. ‘Oh, the people of the Gu family are very dissatisfied with Gu Zheng’s sudden marriage.’

Gu Zheng brought her into the living room and glanced around. Seeing that there was no one he wanted to see, he asked in a low voice, “Where’s Grandma?”

Madam Gu was sitting in the middle. She coughed. A noblewoman in her 40s or 50s beside her received the signal and said with a smile, “Gu Zheng, you’re back. It’s been a long time since you last came back. Why don’t you greet everyone first?”

Before Gu Zheng could say anything, her gaze fell on Qiao Xi. She sized Qiao Xi up from head to toe. In the end, she said disdainfully, “You’re Gu Zheng’s wife? How did you become his wife? Gu Zheng is busy with company matters every day and doesn’t have time to keep track of many things. Don’t you know how to remind him? Also, you came empty-handed the first time you came here. You didn’t even greet your elders upon seeing them. You’re really from a small family. You have no manners at all.”

Qiao Xi: “???”

Did she have to endure a calamity?

These people were afraid of Gu Zheng and did not dare to say anything to him, so they were bullying her instead?

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!"
