Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

1227 Can’t Understand He Weinian

When He Weinian heard the words ‘Xia family’, his expression changed. Madam He and He Wenxian’s faces turned pale as they looked at each other in surprise.

Qiao Xi noticed the change in their expressions.

He Weinian glared at the two of them. Madam He and He Wenxian adjusted their emotions and calmed down as if they were never surprised.

Qiao Xi caught this scene with her eyes. She really did not understand why the He family was surprised. Why were they surprised that the Xia family was here to look for her? Or was it because of the Xia family’s name?

Not only did Qiao Xi see a look of surprise in their eyes, but she even saw a trace of panic and fear.

How many more secrets did the He family have that she did not know?!

Qiao Xi turned around and asked Song Shiyu, “Who’s here?”

Song Shiyu glanced at the He family as if signaling that it was not convenient for him to say it here. He Weinian could tell what he meant, so he smiled and said, “Since Mrs. Gu has an honored guest to see, we won’t disturb her anymore. I just hope that Mrs. Gu will accept the gift we got her. I’ll get Wenxian to go to Longwan Residential to formally apologize to you another day, Mrs. Gu. I hope you’ll be magnanimous and forgive her this time!”

Qiao Xi replied indifferently, “I accept your apology, Miss He. You don’t have to come to Longwan Residential to apologize. Chairman He has already personally come to apologize. If I don’t forgive you, that’ll only mean I don’t know what’s good for me.”

He Weinian smiled gently. “Mrs. Gu, you’re being too serious. Wenxian, come over and apologize.”

He Wenxian hurriedly went forward and sincerely expressed her apology. Then, He Weinian left with his wife and daughter. As an elder, no one could find fault with him.

He had given up the right to compete and specially brought He Wenxian to apologize. He even gave Mrs. Gu a valuable apology gift. In everyone’s eyes, his actions were already very appropriate.

After the three of them left, Song Shiyu said unwillingly, “Are we just letting it go?”

Song Shijing explained, “Chairman He has come to the company in person. If Young Madam insists on not forgiving them and chases them out, it’ll be seen as her being rude and unreasonable.”

Qiao Xi nodded. “He Wenxian only said a few words to me yesterday. It’s not like she hurt me. In any case, I didn’t suffer. Moreover, it seems that Chairman He just apologized and didn’t have any intention of targeting me.”

However, it was precisely because of this that Qiao Xi was even more unable to understand He Weinian. She raised her eyes to look at Gu Zheng. His expression was still calm, and his eyes were gentle. In front of Qiao Xi, he had indeed always maintained a good image and temperament.

“Xi Xi is right. He was just apologizing. My master really cares about his image!” Gu Zheng sighed softly. “Now, everyone in Li City knows that Chairman He Weinian is gentle and polite. He’s a sincere man.”

Qiao Xi chuckled. “If a person likes to pretend to be kind and loving, it means that they’re not such a person.”

Gu Zheng smiled, and his eyes were bright like stars. “Xi Xi, you’re right.”

Qiao Xi raised her eyes and looked into Gu Zheng’s eyes. Her heart instantly skipped a beat, and her face instantly flushed red.

Even though she was already married to Gu Zheng and they had been together for so long, she could not resist the temptation of Gu Zheng’s smile. This man was really too seductive.

She quickly looked away and cleared her throat. “Why is the Xia family looking for me?”

Song Shiyu’s expression was profound. “I’m not too sure either, but… Madam Xia Yunlou insists on seeing you. She’s already waiting in the waiting room.”

“Tell her that I’m very busy and don’t have time.” As soon as Qiao Xi finished speaking, she added, “There’s still a design that hasn’t been finalized in the design department. I have to ask Lu Zhi for his opinion.”

Qiao Xi did not care about Xia Yunlou’s feelings at all. In short, she did not want to see her.

Song Shiyu understood and patted his chest. “I understand, Young Madam. Leave Madam Xia Yunlou to me.”

The Xia family had only arrived in Li City for a short while before the He family returned to the country. Qiao Xi still did not know the He family’s motive for returning, but she kept having the feeling that this matter seemed to be related to the Xia family. Perhaps she would be able to learn the truth soon.

…

In the living room, Xia Yunlou knew that Qiao Xi was unwilling to see her, and her expression instantly turned malicious. “What? She doesn’t want to see me? I’m her biological mother. How can she leave me here? There are some misunderstandings between us, but we’re mother and daughter, after all! Could it be that she wants to hate me for the rest of her life over that small matter?”

Song Shiyu sneered in his heart. In her eyes, wanting to send her own daughter to jail was a small matter?
