Qiao Xi hurriedly took out her phone. [Third Brother, what’s the name of the big shot?]
Qin An replied: [I’m not too sure. The old man doesn’t know either. This person is very low-profile and has never revealed his real name. However, everyone in the scientific research institute calls him ‘God Lu’.]
Lu??
When Qiao Xi saw this word, she was instantly petrified. Her face was pale, and her voice trembled. “What is Mr. Lu doing in the Gu family?”
This important figure held precious elements in his hands. 20 million USD per gram. If it were this person…
As soon as she finished speaking, Mr. Lu replied with a smile, “I’m here to discuss the precious elements business with you.”
Qiao Xi: “??”
His surname and identity seemed to be a match, and he was also in the Gu family. Qiao Xi felt a chill surge into her heart and could not help but take a few steps back. “Then I won’t disturb you anymore, Mr. Lu. I’ll be going first.”
“Miss Qiao, you’re leaving just like that?”
Mr. Lu was all smiles, but his voice was still warm and humble. “Did I offend you in any way, Miss Qiao?”
Qiao Xi’s heart seemed to have been stuffed with a rock. The feeling was slightly indescribable.
Although the man in front of her looked gentle and polite, he gave off a sinister feeling.
His eyes were as cold as a venomous snake, causing Qiao Xi to shudder and smile awkwardly.
“Mr. Lu, you’re overthinking it. I have something urgent to attend to. Besides, this is the first time I’m meeting you. Why did you say that?”
The corners of Mr. Lu’s mouth curled up slightly. “If this is our first time meeting, why would you avoid me? You should know very well that you’re already married.”
Holy sh*t!
Qiao Xi’s heart jerked as she gulped.
The engagement at that time was just a joke. The big shot probably didn’t care about it at all. Hence, Qiao Xi didn’t take it seriously either and thought that the old man was just speaking casually.
Moreover, when Qiao Xi was 18, the old man anxiously looked for that big shot and asked about the engagement. That big shot refused at that time.
Things had already happened, so why was she still pretending here?
He was the one who was unwilling back then, but he was blaming her for getting married now. Was this person crazy?!
Qiao Xi’s face was filled with anger. “Mr. Lu, I don’t understand what you mean. I’ll get going first!”
“Miss Qiao—” He was about to say something when a cold voice sounded.
“Mr. Lu, you should call her Mrs. Gu.”
Gu Zheng slowly walked over and held Qiao Xi’s hand. “I’ll have Song Shiyu bring you back to your room to rest.”
Then, he said coldly, “Mr. Lu, please.”
Lu Yan glanced at Qiao Xi before leaving with Gu Zheng.
Song Shiyu asked anxiously, “Madam, do you know Lu Yan?”
Lu Yan was pestering Young Madam just now. It seemed that he was going to snatch her away! This person was too annoying. He wanted to compete with Young Master for everything. The funny thing was that he was not Young Master’s match at all.
Qiao Xi was instantly speechless: “…”
She could not explain at all that Lu Yan was her fiance.
However, she could not tell Song Shiyu this. She raised her eyebrows. “He must be very rich!”
Song Shiyu broke out in a cold sweat. “He’s far worse than Young Master!”
Qiao Xi was stunned for a moment. “Then he definitely holds a lot of authority!”
Song Shiyu guaranteed in a hurry, “Not as much as Young Master!”
Qiao Xi was speechless.
Since he could not compare to Gu Zheng in any way, what did the old man see in Lu Yan that he tried so hard to marry her to that man?
Qiao Xi silently sent a message to Qin An: [I saw the big shot!]
Qin An: [Is he handsome?]
Qiao Xi: [That big shot is nothing like that. He’s not as handsome as my husband, nor is he as rich and powerful as my husband. In short, he’s inferior to my husband in everything.]
Qin An was speechless.
When Qiao Xi sent another message, a red exclamation mark appeared on the screen.
Damn! She had been blacklisted!
…
Lu Yan stayed in the Gu family for only a moment before leaving. Song Shiyu was trembling with fear. “Young Master, Young Madam just asked me if Lu Yan is very rich!”
Gu Zheng raised an eyebrow. “Does she really need money?”
Song Shiyu gulped. “That Lu Yan must be up to no good. You have to be careful. Don’t let him snatch Young Madam away!”
Gu Zheng narrowed his eyes and was about to leave.
Song Shiyu quickly grabbed Gu Zheng. “Young Master, Young Master, calm down.”
Gu Zheng glanced at him indifferently. Song Shiyu quickly let go and advised him softly, “Young Master, think about it. Women like gentle men. Madam must like him too, which is why she was so close to Lu Yan earlier.”
The chauffeur who came to the Gu family’s house to pick them up and bring them back to Longwan Residential was speechless.
Assistant Song had taught Young Master Gu well, huh? But he shouldn’t ever teach Young Master Gu again.
However, Young Master seemed to really believe him!
Gu Zheng’s expression was serious as he left without saying anything.
Qiao Xi was chatting happily with Qin An when she turned around and saw Gu Zheng. She was immediately shocked. “Are you done?”
“We’re going home.”
Gu Zheng was a man of few words and said without batting an eyelid, “Lu Yan is not a simple person. Stay away from him in the future.”
Qiao Xi nodded. Actually, even if Gu Zheng did not tell her, she knew that Lu Yan was not an ordinary person. It was better not to come into contact with him.
