Gu Zheng lowered his eyes to look at Qiao Xi. His deep eyes were filled with gentleness and affection. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and gently wiped her face. “Be good and stop crying!”
Qiao Xi took the handkerchief and covered her face while crying. She pretended to wipe the tears on her face.
At this moment, everyone’s eyes were filled with disdain when they looked at Xia Mengyan. It turned out that the woman who caused trouble at Heavenly Voice Entertainment yesterday was Xia Mengyan! The news of her pretending to be the president had already spread. It was just that no one knew who that woman was. Now that President Gu had said so, everyone understood.
Xia Mengyan was clearly the one who shamelessly stole Mrs. Gu’s position. She even brought the old master here today and stood on the moral high ground to criticize Mrs. Gu for being unfilial. If they were not here for Qingfeng Entertainment, what else could it be?
Xia Mengyan’s face was pale as she took a few steps back in horror. Now, everyone knew about her ugly incident yesterday. Qiao Xi was just pretending to be pitiful, but why did everyone believe her? She wanted to pretend to cry, but her tears did not fall.
Qiao Xi whimpered and pounced into Gu Zheng’s arms, crying pitifully.
Everyone hurriedly comforted her softly. “Mrs. Gu, don’t cry. It’s not worth crying for people like them!”
Song Shiyu: “…” Young Madam was really good at pretending, but these people all believed her. There was no trace of her pretending in her eyes at all. Her skills were too good!
Qiao Xi hid in Gu Zheng’s embrace and raised her eyebrows at Xia Mengyan. This was all she could do? She had only used 20% of her strength, yet Xia Mengyan could not take it anymore. She had not even used her trump card!
Everyone looked at Xia Mengyan and Old Master Xia angrily. Xia Mengyan lowered her head and eyes without saying anything. Her nails dug into her palms. Xia Cheng, who was at the side, said with a gloomy face, “President Gu.”
His expression was cold, and he did not care about everyone’s gazes or words at all. He still pretended to be an elder and continued to be so arrogant. “President Gu, we’re here to have a good talk with Xi Xi. Aren’t you going to invite us in to talk?”
Gu Zheng said casually, “Yes, I’m not going to invite you in.”
Xia Cheng’s expression froze for a moment, then he continued, “President Gu, you’re the head of Gu Corporation. You’re all-powerful in the business world. What happened yesterday is already in the past. Why take it to heart?”
……
Gu Zheng raised an eyebrow, his voice low and filled with disdain. “Mrs. Gu is kind-hearted. She doesn’t mind Xia Mengyan’s actions, but I do. What right do you have to question me?”
“President Gu, I’m Qiao Xi’s grandfather!”
When Qiao Xi heard Xia Cheng’s angry roar, she was terrified to the point her entire body trembled. She kept hiding in Gu Zheng’s embrace. Gu Zheng gently patted her back, then looked at Xia Cheng with an icy-cold gaze. “So what?”
“President Gu, let’s talk about Mengyan and Xi Xi’s misunderstanding later. No matter what, I’m Xi Xi’s grandfather. We rushed all the way here and have been waiting at the door for so long. How can you refuse to let us in? If news of this gets out, what will everyone say? They’ll say that President Gu is heartless! They’ll even scold Qiao Xi for being unfilial!”
Xia Cheng smiled proudly, thinking that he had Gu Zheng and Qiao Xi under his control. “President Gu, Gu Corporation is in the midst of public opinion now. I don’t know how many enemies want to play tricks on you behind your back. In the past, there was Gu Weiming. If you chase me away now, everyone will definitely think that it’s your fault.”
Qiao Xi’s eyes narrowed slightly. Was this old master tired of living?
Gu Zheng grabbed Qiao Xi’s hand as if he had seen through her thoughts. He did not care about Xia Cheng’s threat at all and said casually, “Old Master Xia, why are you still so naive even though you’ve lived for so long? Let me tell you a principle today. A truly powerful person won’t care about the rumors outside at all. It’s too laughable if you think those unimportant people will affect me.”
Xia Cheng’s expression changed, but he was still unconvinced as he shouted, “You don’t care, but what about Qiao Xi? She’s just a weak lady, yet she has to be cursed by everyone online. Do you think she can endure it?”
“Old Master Xia, don’t tell me you think today’s matter can be spread online? I’ve already told you that I can control everything, including the direction of the rumors. I’ll kill whoever makes Mrs. Gu sad!”
Gu Zheng walked to Xia Cheng’s side and said softly. His deep eyes were filled with strong killing intent. He did not care about Xia Cheng’s threat at all. To him, Xia Cheng was just a flea. He was not afraid at all.
Xia Cheng finally panicked. He could clearly feel Gu Zheng’s killing intent. It was so cold that it seemed to be able to pierce through his heart.
