Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

1299 Her Real Identity

The surroundings instantly fell silent. What did Gu Zheng mean? Could it be that Miss Qiao’s identity was extraordinary? Wasn’t she just Xia Yunqiu’s adopted daughter? What was there to be afraid of?

He Wenxian’s face was pale as she widened her eyes at Gu Zheng. Why did he say that? Did he have to expose her thoughts in front of everyone?

Why didn’t she tell everyone Qiao Xi’s identity? It was because she was unwilling. What right did Qiao Xi have to become the legitimate Mrs. Gu? What right did Qiao Xi have to make her be polite and respectful to her? Why did she have to only consider herself as Gu Zheng’s friend while Qiao Xi could stand by Gu Zheng’s side forever?

She hated all of this, so she naturally would not reveal Qiao Xi’s identity. Moreover, if she said that Qiao Xi was Gu Zheng’s wife and Cheng Juan happened to appraise Qiao Xi’s necklace as a fake, wouldn’t Qiao Xi implicate Gu Zheng and make him lose face? Hence, there was a reason why she did not say anything.

At the thought of this, He Wenxian instantly became confident. “Ah Zheng, I didn’t say anything just now because I thought that Xi Xi’s necklace was a fake. If I revealed her identity, I was afraid I’d implicate others.”

The corners of Qiao Xi’s mouth twitched as she understood what He Wenxian meant.

If she wore a fake, not only would she lose her reputation, but Gu Zheng would also lose his. He Wenxian did not say anything because of Gu Zheng’s reputation.

In that case, Gu Zheng had to thank her? However, Gu Zheng was not just referring to her identity as Mrs. Gu.

Only then did everyone react to He Wenxian’s words. He Wenxian did not reveal Miss Qiao’s true identity because she was worried that Qiao Xi was wearing a fake. It would embarrass her backer. This was reasonable.

It had to be said that Miss He was really meticulous and understanding.

“Implicated?” Gu Zheng raised an eyebrow, and his tone rose slightly. Every subtle move he made was so elegant. His entire body exuded a powerful aura, making others admire and fear him. Hence, the moment he spoke, the surrounding discussion instantly stopped.

He Wenxian gritted her teeth and looked a little aggrieved. “Ah Zheng, it’s all my fault. I didn’t figure out the truth and rashly—”

“Miss He, you were unwilling to reveal her identity because you were worried that she’d implicate others. But since you know her identity, you should know that the necklace she’s wearing is absolutely not a fake.” Gu Zheng sneered coldly. “As the chief designer of Liuli, is there a need for Gu Shan to wear a fake necklace?”

Everyone was instantly dumbfounded. They even suspected that they had heard wrongly. Gu Zheng was saying that Miss Qiao was the chief designer, Gu Shan?

He Wenxian clenched her fists tightly, her expression slightly stiff.

The people present were the daughters and young masters of high society. They might not know Gu Shan, but they definitely knew Liuli Corporation. To be able to become the chief designer of Liuli, a top fashion design company, one had to be outstandingly capable. Moreover, one had to be internationally famous. It just so happened that this international top designer was the young and beautiful Miss Qiao.

After a long silence, someone muttered in a low voice, “I heard that not only do designers of Liuli have to know how to design clothes, but they also have to be proficient in identifying jewelry and luxury goods. As the chief designer, Gu Shan must know if the necklace she’s wearing is real or fake! Moreover, with her identity and wealth, it’s impossible for her to wear a fake to the banquet, right?! No wonder Miss Qiao was so confident in asking for the necklace to be appraised. It seems that she had already checked her necklace.”

Cheng Juan stood up and said in a gentle voice, “Let me explain to everyone. Scorching Heart was designed by Miss Gu Shan and Lu Zhi, the president of Liuli. At that time, Lu Zhi spent half a year collecting these perfect rubies. It took a year from the design to the final completion. The process of forging the necklace was personally supervised by Gu Shan, which is why every detail is perfect.

“Everyone should know that this necklace was donated by the Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor, but we’ve never heard of the creator of the necklace. Even so, as long as you investigate, you’ll probably find out. After all, the name Gu Shan is very famous both domestically and overseas. Moreover, Liuli has never hidden the relevant information about this necklace.”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at Qiao Xi. They did not dare believe that this necklace was actually designed and completed by Qiao Xi.

He Wenxian, who had always been calm and composed, could not help but have a shocked expression. At the same time, a trace of resentment flashed past her eyes. How was this possible? It was actually designed by Qiao Xi?

Cheng Juan sneered. “I’m really curious why you asked me to appraise this necklace, Miss He? Gu Shan is wearing a necklace that she designed herself. How can it be fake?”

Everyone sighed in their hearts. He Wenxian was in trouble!
