Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

1346 Don’t Call Her Mrs. Gu

The next day, at Longwan Residential.

Qiao Xi looked at the gorgeous jewelry box on the table and could not help but tsk. “Where did Gu Zheng squander his money this time? He bought such expensive jewelry? My room is almost brimming with jewelry, so why is he still buying such things?!”

Song Shiyu’s expression was subtle. “Well…”

Qiao Xi took out a diamond necklace from the jewelry box and felt that her eyes were dazed by the light of the diamond. She frowned. “I’m asking you a question!”

Song Shiyu opened his mouth, not knowing where to start.

Song Shijing came forward to explain, “Young Madam, the president didn’t buy this piece of jewelry. It’s an apology gift from the Brook family.”

Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows and was slightly surprised. “Didn’t the Brook family send someone over to apologize and deliver the gifts long ago? Why are they giving more gifts?”

“The person who came to deliver the gift said that this is an apology gift from the head of the Brook family to Young Madam. He even specially reminded Young Madam that he chose it for you himself. He hopes you’ll like it.” Song Shijing thought that the other party’s words were a little strange.

Song Shiyu pursed his lips. “I heard that the head of the Brook family is an old man. Would he personally choose a gift for Young Madam? He must have instructed his subordinates to buy it, but the subordinates have good taste.”

Song Shijing thought that it made sense. “The Brook family is indeed very powerful. They’re a top noble family in Y Nation, so even if Madam Tan offended Young Madam, the head of the family wouldn’t personally choose a gift for Young Madam. A subordinate of his must have chosen it. They’re just saying that to express their sincerity in apologizing.”

Qiao Xi put down the necklace and suddenly curled the corners of her mouth. Just because they said it was the head of the Brook family did not mean that it was the head of the family, right?

There were two people in charge of the Brook family now. Almost half of the power was in that man’s hands.

Qiao Xi’s eyes narrowed slightly, and she was silent for a short while. “Since the Brook family has already apologized, we have no reason to accept such expensive jewelry. Immediately get someone to send it back.”

Song Shiyu nodded hurriedly. “I think so too! Even if the head of the Brook family is an old man, he’s still a man! They’ve already apologized, yet they still gave you such a valuable gift. It’s obvious that they have ill intentions! If outsiders find out, they’ll think that you’re related to that old man! How shameless of him!”

Qiao Xi sneered in her heart. That man was indeed very shameless!

At this moment, she felt that Madam Tan’s sudden attack was not because of that man. Madam Tan seemed to be targeting Gu Zheng. What grudge did she have against Gu Zheng?

Qiao Xi suddenly felt slightly tired. She had yet to figure out who the man in her dream was when the Brook family came looking for her. There seemed to be too many unsolved mysteries.

“Return everything the Brook family sends over in the future!” Qiao Xi instructed coldly.

Song Shiyu and Song Shijing nodded. Suddenly, their phones rang. They said quickly, “Young Madam, the president is flying to Y Nation for a meeting tonight. Are you going too?”

Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows. Y Nation? Was Gu Zheng really going to a meeting?

…

At this moment, in Y Nation.

“Sir, the gift that was sent to Li City has been returned,” the assistant said respectfully, his heart trembling.

“Mhm.” Huo Yuzhou was reviewing documents. He paused for a moment and quickly returned to normal.

After a moment of silence, the assistant added, “However, Mrs. Gu accepted the apology gift from the Brooke family. She… only returned the piece of jewelry you personally chose.”

Bang!

The glass cup on the table fell to the floor, and the shards scattered all over the floor. The veins on his arms were about to pop out.

Huo Yuzhou’s tone was cold. “I remember telling you not to call her Mrs. Gu.”

“M-Miss Qiao returned your gift and even instructed everyone to return everything the Brook family sends in the future,” the assistant said while trembling. A layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.

Huo Yuzhou’s eyes were still cold, but the corners of his mouth curled into a smile. “Looks like she knows that I gave it to her.”

“Also…” The assistant continued, “Gu Zheng is coming to Y Nation for a meeting. He’s flying tonight and will be here tomorrow morning. I heard that Miss Qiao will be coming too.”

Huo Yuzhou’s eyes flickered. “Will she come too? It’s been so long since we last met. What should I give her?”

The next day, in Y Nation.

Gu Zheng and Qiao Xi got off the plane and looked at the crowd of people who came to pick them up. They chuckled and said, “Xi Xi, I already said that I came to Y Nation for work.”

Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows. Was it really work?

The Brook family was in Y Nation, and Gu Zheng happened to come here for a meeting. Was it really such a coincidence? She kept having the feeling that something was wrong with this meeting. It seemed to have been specially arranged.
