Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

1250 Miss He Is Understanding

He Tingchen’s gaze suddenly looked out of the window. It was raining outside. Gu Zheng, such a proud person, was actually holding an umbrella and waiting for Qiao Xi at the entrance of Xia Corporation’s building.

After Qiao Xi walked out, the two of them held the umbrella and entered the cafe. From the beginning until the end, the man tilted the umbrella toward Qiao Xi, afraid that she would get drenched in the rain.

He Tingchen looked at the two of them and could not help but sigh. “Ah Zheng really dotes on Mrs. Gu. I was originally worried that he would be lonely, but it seems that I was thinking too much. He’s doing very well now.”

The viciousness in He Wenxian’s eyes vanished in an instant, and a gentle smile appeared on her face. “That’s right. So if you had said that his wife wasn’t good in front of Gu Zheng, of course, he would’ve gotten angry. Even if it was Mrs. Gu’s fault today, Gu Zheng wouldn’t want to hear anyone say that she isn’t good. That’s his family matter, after all. We shouldn’t interfere too much.”

He Tingchen’s eyes were filled with gratification when he heard his sister’s words. “Wenxian, I remember you once said that if Yin Yin doesn’t want to marry Ah Zheng, you’d marry him. I thought you liked Ah Zheng a lot, but I didn’t expect you to not be sad at all when you heard that Ah Zheng was married!”

At this moment, a noblewoman happened to enter and heard He Wenxian’s words. “Brother, although Gu Zheng and I are childhood sweethearts, he’s married now, so we’re just friends. I have to keep a distance from him, lest Mrs. Gu misunderstands and causes him trouble.

“Moreover, I only treat Gu Zheng as my brother. I never liked him to begin with. If we have to meet in the future, I’ll call you and Yin Yin over. We can’t meet alone. Otherwise, Mrs. Gu will definitely be unhappy if she finds out.”

When the few of them heard He Wenxian’s words, they could not help but discuss in low voices. “Miss He is really understanding! When she found out that President Gu was already married, she stopped meeting him in private. The daughter of the He family is indeed extraordinary!”

“Miss He is good, but Mrs. Gu is too much. She gets unhappy even when President Gu is just hanging out with his friends. Speaking of which, Miss He and President Gu are childhood sweethearts. They’ve known each other since they were young. Now, for Mrs. Gu’s sake, their relationship is estranged.”

Although their voices were not loud, He Wenxian still caught the main point of their words and smiled proudly.

“Brother, it’s getting late. Let’s go home,” He Wenxian said.

He Tingchen stood up, his eyes filled with affection. “My sister is really understanding, gentle, and beautiful. I’ve never seen a socialite more outstanding than you! If only Yin Yin could be as steady and sensible as you. In my opinion, Mrs. Gu can’t compare to you!”

He Wenxian smiled shyly and pulled him away.

On the other hand, Gu Zheng and Qiao Xi entered the cafe. A table full of dishes was already prepared in the private room. Qiao Xi widened her eyes in surprise. “Isn’t this a cafe? We can get a meal like this here?”

Gu Zheng smiled. “Of course. Not only can we feast here, but didn’t you also receive beauty treatment here, Mrs. Gu?”

“You even know about this? Sure enough, money can make the world go round,” Qiao Xi said as she picked up a piece of meat and tasted it.

“Has everything been settled?” Gu Zheng asked.

Qiao Xi nodded. “It’s about time. Moreover, the Xia family probably doesn’t know that I’m here for Xia Yunlou. Why were you here today? Just to see the He family?”

Gu Zheng said meaningfully, “Yes, I met them to understand the situation.”

“What’s going on?” Qiao Xi looked at him curiously. “Have you discovered the He family’s secret?”

Gu Zheng suddenly recalled the note He Wenyin left behind. He raised his eyes to look at Qiao Xi, then quickly looked away. “Not for the time being, but I don’t think their goal is money and power.”

Qiao Xi was puzzled. “Then what could it be? If it’s not for money and power, what else could it be? If that isn’t the He family’s goal, why did they come all the way back to Li City?”

“Although there’s very little news of the He family overseas, everyone around them says that they’re famous for being kind people. Even though they’ve returned to Li City, they’re still very popular. Everyone has a high evaluation of the He family. They’re gentle, kind, and polite. It seems that the He family has put a lot of effort into this.”

To do something to the extreme, one had to invest several times more energy than others. The He family had spent so much effort to be known for being kind. It was impossible for them to do it just for reputation’s sake.

However, Qiao Xi really did not know what they were up to.
