“Mrs. Gu, don’t go too far. You’re both sisters, so why don’t you learn from Miss Anran? She’s so gentle and kind. If you can be like her…”

“Don’t go too far?”

At this moment, a cold voice came from outside the door, interrupting Director Feng.

Gu Zheng glanced coldly at Qiao Xi. This woman was really too weak. She was just obediently watching Director Feng strut around in front of her. If he did not appear, would she stand there and be criticized?

Although he did not like this woman, she was Mrs. Gu in name. If she were to lose her reputation, he would lose all his dignity.

Gu Zheng frowned. This woman was really stupid.

When Xu Anran saw Gu Zheng appear, she immediately took a few steps forward with a shy expression. “President Gu, as Xi Xi’s sister, I don’t think Director Feng should be fired. It’s not right to fire a long-term employee for personal reasons, right?”

Gu Zheng’s eyes were cold as he said casually, “Hmm? Are you accusing me?”

Xu Anran was so scared that her face turned pale. Her eyes were red as she said aggrievedly, “President Gu, I’m doing this for your and the company’s sake. Director Feng has been working hard for so many years in the company but she was fired. Outsiders will think that it’s all because of my sister. This won’t be good for her either…”

“She’s been working hard?” Gu Zheng raised an eyebrow, his face filled with mockery.

“I’ve never mistreated any employee of Gu Corporation. They work for the company while I pay them their salary. Is this called hard work? Just because she has worked in the company for more than ten years, I can’t fire her even though she made a mistake?”

Director Feng’s expression turned uglier and uglier. Gu Zheng said impatiently, “I thought that you were being used by others, so I merely fired you. I didn’t expect you to make things worse. Since that’s the case, don’t blame me for being nasty.”

Gu Zheng said coldly, “Director Feng, you were the one who exposed our whereabouts to Qiao Rou. You’re half a murderer. Since you’re unwilling to accept your outcome, let’s meet in court.”

Director Feng’s body went weak, and she immediately swallowed her retorts.

Her eyes were filled with horror as she stammered, “President Gu, I was deceived by Qiao Rou! I’m also a victim!”

“Song Shiyu, submit all the evidence about Director Feng and Qiao Rou colluding together. Whether Director Feng did it on purpose or not, it’s a fact that she exposed our whereabouts to Qiao Rou, causing Young Madam and me to be attacked. Now, she’s openly threatening Young Madam in the company. If I let this go, I’ll be laughed at!”

After Gu Zheng finished speaking, he walked in front of Qiao Xi and said with an indifferent tone, “Let’s go, Mrs. Gu.”

Director Feng was dragged out by the bodyguards. Xu Anran was trembling in fear, but she was already here. She could not just leave without doing anything.

Qiao Xi was so arrogant now because of President Gu. If Xu Anran could gain President Gu’s favor, how would Qiao Xi dare to continue treating her like this? At that time, the entire Li City would crawl under her feet.

Xu Anran quickly walked over and stood in front of Qiao Xi. Tears trickled down her face. “Xi Xi, don’t blame me. I thought that Director Feng was just gossiping with me saying that you wanted to fire her. I didn’t know that she exposed your whereabouts. If I knew that the car accident was related to her, I wouldn’t have spoken up for her.”

Qiao Xi smiled lightly. “You chickened out so quickly? Weren’t you being so reasonable just now?”

The corners of Xu Anran’s mouth twitched slightly. “Xi Xi, you… You’ve misunderstood me. You’re my sister. Everything I do is for your own good.”

Then, Xu Anran turned around and looked at Gu Zheng pitifully. “President Gu, I’m sorry. Can you forgive me? I really—”

Before she could finish, Gu Zheng interrupted, “Sure.”

A trace of surprise flashed past Xu Anran’s eyes. She thought that she would have to cry for a while before Gu Zheng would agree. Unexpectedly, Gu Zheng forgave her directly.

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly. It seemed that President Gu’s feelings for Qiao Xi were nothing special. No matter what, he was only doting on her for a short while. Otherwise, how could he forgive her so easily?!

Xu Anran smiled shyly. “President Gu, have you really forgiven me? Xi Xi, since President Gu has already forgiven me, don’t be angry with me, alright?”

The corners of Qiao Xi’s mouth twitched as she silently pinched Gu Zheng’s arm.

Xu Anran had a proud expression. If it were not for Gu Zheng, she would definitely mock Qiao Xi.

At this moment, Gu Zheng suddenly said, “Although you forced your sister to forgive a murderer, my wife has always been gentle and kind. Of course, she’d choose to forgive you.”
