Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

1357 No Discrimination In Love

Huo Yuzhou walked out of the lounge with his assistant following behind him with his head lowered.

On the way, Huo Yuzhou’s expression was cold as he frowned.

He had miscalculated. If he had known that Xi Xi would come to the auction today, he would not have let Guan Hui out. Now that she had angered Xi Xi, would Xi Xi blame him?

Gu Zheng and Huo Yuzhou arrived at the scene one after another. At this moment, the scene was very noisy.

Ten minutes ago.

When Qiao Xi heard Guan Hui’s voice, her face was filled with impatience. Before she could speak, Guan Hui walked straight in front of Qiao Xi and said with an arrogant and slightly hypocritical posture, “Xi Xi, why didn’t you contact me when you came to Y Nation? I thought I was mistaken just now! Did you specially rush over because you knew that Yuzhou and I were here?”

Director Luo frowned. “Mrs. Huo, we—”

Guan Hui smiled and shook her head. “Xi Xi, it was our fault back then, and we failed to take your feelings into consideration, but love can’t be controlled. I don’t know what past you have with Yuzhou, but he hasn’t mentioned it all these years. I can understand that you feel aggrieved, but we’ve been friends for many years, after all. Why should you cut off all contact with us because of this?”

Director Luo was shocked: “!!!”

Everyone present was dumbfounded. Did Mrs. Huo mean that this woman in front of them was once Mr. Huo’s friend and had once pursued him? After that, because Mr. Huo chose Madam Huo, they stopped seeing each other?

Could it be that there was an inexplicable love triangle between them?

Qiao Xi’s porcelain-white face was filled with annoyance. She frowned and turned to leave. Unexpectedly, Guan Hui actually grabbed her wrist. Her eyes were filled with provocation, but her tone was very gentle. “Xi Xi, it’s time to let go of the past. Yuzhou is very busy with work, so you probably won’t be able to see him today. If you want to see him, I won’t stop you. However, it’s best if the two of you don’t meet alone.”

Seeing this scene, Director Luo also understood Guan Hui’s meaning. She was afraid that Young Madam and Mr. Huo would renew their relationship, so she deliberately came forward to show off and warn them.

Everyone present naturally understood, and the gazes they shot at Qiao Xi were full of disdain as they sized her up.

Those who could participate in this auction were all reputable nobles of Y Nation. They could only enter with invitations, and they had never seen Qiao Xi before. It was even to the extent that they had never heard of Mr. Huo having such a friend.

Could it be that this woman sneaked in to see Mr. Huo?

Guan Hui also realized this and immediately asked in confusion, “Right, Xi Xi, do you have an invitation? Don’t tell me you secretly ran in?”

“I don’t have an invitation,” Qiao Xi replied truthfully.

This was an auction held by Gu Corporation’s branch company. She was Gu Zheng’s wife and the female boss of Gu Corporation. Naturally, she did not need an invitation.

However, these words took on a different meaning in Guan Hui’s ears.

Guan Hui smiled proudly, then looked arrogantly at Qiao Xi before saying in a sincere tone, “Xi Xi, how could you do such a thing? If you really wanted to come in, you could have called me in advance. I could have brought you in. Why did you secretly come here?

“I don’t know how you broke in, but you’re unfamiliar with Y Nation. If you’re discovered, you’ll very likely be sent to the police station. Moreover, the people attending the auction are all reputable local nobles. Most of them are married. As a young lady, you have to pay attention to your image. You have to love yourself before others can respect you. Don’t be so rash in the future. If you encounter trouble, you can look for me.”

The meaning of Guan Hui’s words was very obvious. Either Qiao Xi had avoided the security guards and barged in, or she had relied on her relationship with a certain man to enter. Director Luo was instantly infuriated when she heard this and hurriedly explained, “Mrs. Huo, this is—”

Before she could finish, she saw Qiao Xi wave her hand and look at Guan Hui with a smile. “Does how I got in have anything to do with you, Mrs. Huo? Also, how are you so sure that I’m in contact with a married man?

“What do you mean by bringing up my past with Huo Yuzhou in public, Mrs. Huo? Do you want to suppress me, or do you want to declare your sovereignty and warn me?”

When Guan Hui heard Qiao Xi’s arrogant tone, her eyes instantly turned red as she said aggrievedly, “Xi Xi, you’ve misunderstood me. What happened back then… is in the past, so don’t mention it anymore. I said all of this for your own good. After all, we’re friends. I don’t want you to go astray.

“My status is indeed low. I’m an orphan who was abandoned. I’m not worthy of Yuzhou, but love doesn’t differentiate between noble and low statuses. I should have the right to pursue my own happiness.”
