Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

Chapter 83 - I’m Not Familiar With Qin An At All



Chapter 83: I’m Not Familiar With Qin An At All

However, why was Gu Zheng asking this? Was he jealous? That shouldn’t be the case. Gu Zheng did not like her… Was it because of a man’s possessiveness and dignity? No matter what, she was Gu Zheng’s legal wife now. His own wife was talking and laughing with another man… Thinking about it this way, it seemed normal that Gu Zheng was angry.

After understanding Gu Zheng’s behavior, Qiao Xi hurriedly revealed a smile that was filled with gentleness and goodwill. “How could that be? I’m not familiar with Mr. Qin at all.”

“Not familiar?”

Gu Zheng chuckled and said casually, “A few years ago, Gu Corporation wanted to collaborate with Gu Shan, but Gu Shan refused. Do you know why?”

Qiao Xi did not understand why Gu Zheng changed the topic so quickly. Back then, she refused to collaborate with Gu Corporation because she did not wish to be associated with a large corporation. Gu Shan had always been alone and carefree, so she did not want to be tied down by anything. However, it was also because of her rejection that she heard Gu Corporation had suffered a lot of losses. It was also the first time Gu Zheng had miscalculated after getting the position of the Gu family’s head.

Of course, this did not mean that Gu Shan was very powerful. Gu Zheng could crush Gu Shan with just a flick of his finger.

Qiao Xi was a little timid and gulped. “Would you believe me if I said that I had no choice at that time?” Moreover, hadn’t she already compensated Gu Zheng? She had already agreed to collaborate with Gu Corporation.

“Qin An is Gu Shan’s third brother. Your identity as Gu Shan has already been exposed, yet you’re still telling me that you’re not close to Qin An? Do you think I’m easy to fool, or are you too lazy to even lie to me?”

Qiao Xi: “…”

She felt a chill run down her spine. F*ck, how could she have forgotten that Gu Zheng had called out her third brother’s name? He must know her third brother!

Qiao Xi’s expression kept changing. A few years ago, she and Gu Zheng had met from a distance. At that time, she had only seen his back. Moreover, she had already refused to collaborate with Gu Corporation, so she did not go forward to greet Gu Zheng.

After so many years, Gu Corporation had long since become the one and only existence in the fashion world. Qiao Xi thought that Gu Zheng would not hold a grudge anymore. Unexpectedly, he had been holding this grudge for so long just because she refused to collaborate with him in the past!

Gu Zheng placed her hand in his palm and played with it casually. “Grand designer, it’s been so many years since we last met but your temper hasn’t changed at all. You don’t have pure intentions going to the Meng family’s banquet tonight, right? You want revenge, don’t you?”

Although his last sentence was a question, his tone was filled with certainty. It meant that he was very sure of Qiao Xi’s goal in going to the Meng family.

Qiao Xi was immediately on guard. “Don’t speak nonsense. I’m not doing anything. I’m only going because of the Meng family’s invitation. Moreover, you were the one who agreed to attend the Meng family’s banquet before this.”

Gu Zheng looked at her alert gaze and chuckled. “Why else would I agree? It’s because at the time, the words ‘I want revenge’ were clearly written on your face.”

Qiao Xi: “…”

She now knew why Gu Zheng had been staring at her for so long! Could this man read her mind? He even knew what she was thinking.

She straightened her neck and refused to be outdone. “So what if I’m only going to the banquet to seek revenge? I’ve let that woman, Meng Wan, lord over me for so long. So what if I take a little revenge? Moreover, they even did an imitation of my dress. Isn’t it normal for a designer to protect their own work?”

Gu Zheng rubbed her head comfortingly. “Offending the Meng family now isn’t a smart move.”

Qiao Xi pushed his hand away and sneered. Offend? She was not afraid of offending anyone! Moreover, the reason the Meng family was targeting her was all because of this wretched man in front of her. Now, he was pushing all the blame to her, making it seem as if she was the one taking the initiative to create trouble.

“I’m just defending my own work. Is there anything wrong with that?”

“Qiao Xi, I’m not throwing a tantrum. You don’t have to be angry with me. You can get Qin An to help you offend the Meng family, but you can’t show your face.”

Her current identity in the public’s eyes was Qiao Xi, the eldest daughter of the Qiao family who returned from the countryside. If she openly revealed her identity as the designer Gu Shan, or the top hacker Black Tide, or even Mrs. Gu, she could easily crush the Meng family.

However, she was unwilling to reveal these identities. In that case, Qiao Xi was just a daughter who had been abandoned by the Qiao family in everyone’s eyes. Anyone could step on her and trample on her. Although he could resolve these matters, it was difficult to guard against vile characters. He was afraid that one day if he were not careful, Qiao Xi would be injured.

Qiao Xi: “…”
