Chapter 567 The Gentle Young Master Yao
Qiao Xi cried out in surprise, “Ah… Ah Zheng?”
Gu Zheng’s body was cold, but his eyes were burning hot. Sweat covered his forehead, and he looked very nervous. Behind him, Song Shijing and Song Shiyu lowered their heads in fear.
Qiao Xi was slightly nervous. “I… I was just curious…”
“I know.”
Qiao Xi: “…” This time, it was ruined. Her image as a delicate woman had collapsed again.
Gu Zheng’s breathing gradually stabilized as he hugged her tightly. His voice trembled slightly as he said, “D-Don’t listen to her nonsense. I absolutely won’t hurt you.”
Qiao Xi’s heart trembled.
He was afraid because he thought that she would leave him because of Madam Yao’s nonsense.
Qiao Xi smiled lightly. “Ah Zheng, no matter who you are, I won’t leave you. I didn’t take her words to heart at all.”
Gu Zheng never harmed innocent people. The Yao family deserved what was happening to them now. They were not worth pitying.
If she liked Gu Zheng, she would not change her mind just because of someone else’s words. Moreover, she believed that Gu Zheng would still treat her the same way as he always had.
After coming out of the dungeon, Qiao Xi directly returned to her bedroom to rest. Unexpectedly, she slept until the next morning
Gu Zheng knocked on the door and walked in. “Xi Xi, the weather is good today. I’ll take you shopping, okay?” Qiao Xi nodded. It had been a long time since she went shopping.
The two of them got into the car. Gu Zheng said casually, “Let’s go to International Commercial Building. The Yao family has a shop there. Yao Junjie is in charge of it now. He gave us a gift card. Why don’t we go there and take a look?”
Yao family?
Qiao Xi was slightly puzzled. Wasn’t the Yao family’s company and businesses in shambles now? There was actually someone managing the Yao family’s shop?
Qiao Xi hesitated for a moment and asked in confusion, “Yao Junjie?”
She had heard of this name before. He was Yao Mengqing’s brother.
“The rest of the Yao family has been captured, but why didn’t Young Master Yao appear? Isn’t he Yao Mengqing’s brother? His sister and parents are missing. Why didn’t he come to beg you?”
Gu Zheng smiled meaningfully.
Qiao Xi curiously picked up her phone and checked Yao Corporation’s information. In the end, she saw the live press conference.
The man sitting in front of the stage was tall and straight. He was wearing a suit, and his eyes were red. He looked sad.
Gu Zheng took a look and sneered. “He’s really good at acting.”
Qiao Xi: “…”
This young master of the Yao family was completely different from Qiao Xi’s impression of him. She originally thought that Yao Mengqing was willful and vicious, so her brother would have the same character as Lin Jie. However, she did not expect him to look quite gentle.
Many people were also praising the new head of the Yao family online.
(Young Master Yao is so pitiful. He’s cleaning up the mess for the Yao family again.]
[Again? Could it be that something like this had happened in the past?)
[Six years ago, when the Yao family’s business was in trouble, the Yao family all ran overseas to look for Yao Junjie to clean up the mess. Yao Junjie originally had his own company overseas and it was developing very well. When he found out that the Yao family was bankrupt, he gave all his shares to Yao Mengqing. Yao Mengqing had money in her hands, so she founded Sunshine. Originally, Yao Junjie should also have shares in Sunshine, but he wasn’t given any.]
[I heard that he took out all his savings to save the Yao family’s company. This gave the company a chance to take a breather. Unexpectedly, the Yao family kicked Yao Junjie out as soon as the Yao family rose in power. He originally had his own career and company, but he was cheated out of everything. He had no choice but to return overseas to continue his business.]
Someone was curious: (But Yao Junjie is also from the Yao family. Why would they do that?]
[Yao Junjie is not Mr. Yao’s biological son. According to seniority, Mr. Yao is his uncle and Yao Mengqing is his cousin. Although they’re related by blood, they’re not directly related. Back then, when Yao Junjie’s parents were in trouble, Yao Mengqing’s family ignored them and even stole the shares and company that originally belonged to Yao Junjie. They let him go overseas to fend for himself. Yao Mengqing’s family is too heartless. Maybe they were the ones who were responsible for the incident that involved Yao Junjie’s parents.]
(You’re right. That family hired an assassin to kill and poison someone. What else can they not do?! I heard that Yao Junjie’s parents died for no reason. Yao Mengqing’s family then stole all his assets. He was even chased overseas by the Yao family.]
