1437 If You Put On An Act, You Must Go All The Way
Qiao Xi’s gaze stopped on the milk tea in the man’s hand. Could it be that he really wasn’t Gu Zheng? Twilight’s figure and eyes were very similar to Gu Zheng’s, but his temperament was very different, and his voice was also different. Hence, He Weinian and He Wenxian did not suspect that he was Gu Zheng.
Even though their figures were similar, their auras were different. It was difficult for others to associate the two of them, but she was Gu Zheng’s wife. They had been together for a year, so she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. Even so, she could not explain where that sense of familiarity came from.
Qiao Xi took a sip of milk tea and smiled. “It seems that you don’t hate milk tea, Mr. Twilight?”
“Ms. Qiao, why do you think I hate milk tea?”
As soon as he finished speaking, he lifted his cup and finished his milk tea. “Miss Qiao, the exchange has begun. Let’s quickly take a seat.”
The man strode toward the center of the venue. Then, everyone rushed toward him and chatted enthusiastically with him. He responded curtly to their questions.
Qiao Xi looked at the man’s back and fell into deep thought.
After a while, Song Shijing suddenly appeared. “Madam, the president is here to bring you home.”
Because He Wenxian’s matter had been delayed for too long, the exchange meeting did not last long. It was already lunchtime now. Qiao Xi nodded and subconsciously looked at the crowd. “Where did Twilight go?”
Song Shijing: “…”
Just as Song Shijing was thinking about how to answer, a gentle voice came from behind them. “I’m already here. Xi Xi, why are you still looking for another man?”
Qiao Xi instantly recognized Gu Zheng’s voice and hurriedly turned around. She saw that Gu Zheng was wearing an aqua-blue suit. His hair was neat and tidy, and his entire body exuded an elegant and gentle aura. His deep eyes were fixed on her.
At this moment, Qiao Xi was still holding half a cup of milk tea in her hand. She deliberately finished the milk tea in front of Gu Zheng and observed his reaction.
He clearly saw her drinking milk tea, but Gu Zheng did not say a word. Then, she stared at his wrist.
Qiao Xi stared at his wrist. Gu Zheng’s hand was not bandaged, nor was there a wound. As for Twilight, she was the one who bandaged his injury for him. Although the wound was not serious, it was still very obvious.
There was nothing on Gu Zheng’s wrist. He was only wearing a watch that was worth millions. This watch was something he often wore, so there was no problem.
Was he really not Twilight?
Qiao Xi was filled with doubts, but she still left with Gu Zheng.
On the way, Gu Zheng glanced at her palm and frowned slightly. “Your hand is injured. Let’s go to the hospital.”
Qiao Xi raised her hand. “It’s fine. It’s just a scratch. I wrapped it in multiple layers on purpose.”
With that, she unwrapped the bandage. Just as she was removing it, she heard Gu Zheng say unhurriedly, “Don’t remove it yet.”
“Huh?”
Gu Zheng smiled and said, “You have to put on a show.”
Qiao Xi nodded and lowered her eyes as if she was thinking about something. Gu Zheng, who was at the side, spoke first, “He Wenxian will be released on bail soon.”
Qiao Xi was not surprised and snorted coldly. “I’ve long guessed it. Of course, He Weinian can’t bear to see his precious daughter go to jail. He definitely has to spend a lot of effort to save He Wenxian. If He Wenxian goes to jail just like that, it’ll be meaningless. He Wenxian has been preparing for five years to take over the identity of Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor, but the tables were turned against them. I’m really unhappy. I should make her pay a painful price.”
Song Shijing’s eyelids twitched. Of all people, He Wenxian had to provoke Young Madam. She was in trouble now.
Gu Zheng nodded and said gently, “Okay, then what should we do?”
Qiao Xi leaned on Gu Zheng’s shoulder and smiled slyly. “He Weinian will definitely be very busy during this period of time. He’ll be thinking about how to salvage the He family’s good image. However, if he wants to protect his reputation as a benevolent person, he might not be able to protect He Wenxian. As long as the public questions He Wenxian after she comes out, sooner or later, He Weinian will take the initiative to give up on He Wenxian.”
Gu Zheng raised his eyebrows. He already understood what Qiao Xi meant. Just because the He family liked to use public opinion did not mean that Qiao Xi and Gu Zheng did not know how to use it.
“Also…” Qiao Xi paused for a moment before continuing, “He Wenyin came to look for me and said that I’m He Weinian’s target for returning to the country this time.”
“Cheng Juan also called me and told me about this. I’ve thought about it carefully. The only thing that can make He Weinian abandon everything overseas and return to Li City is probably my blood.”
The atmosphere around Gu Zheng suddenly turned cold, and he pursed his lips tightly.
