Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

1375 Little Six Learned From Gu Zheng

Xue Liang narrowed his eyes and smirked. “You deliberately made Xi Xi misunderstand that Huo Yuzhou was the instigator of this matter. Since she’s willing to believe you, I won’t expose you. However, this matter started because of you. If you don’t get rid of this problem, there’ll be endless trouble in the future.”

Gu Zheng looked up and met Xue Liang’s gaze. His light brown eyes were like deep pools, and his expression was vague. After a long time, he said, “Mr. Xue, you have a point. I know what to do.”

Xue Liang retracted his gaze in satisfaction. “Gu Zheng, we entrusted Little Six to you. You have to remember your promise back then. No matter what, you have to protect Xi Xi and not let her be hurt.

Gu Zheng nodded, but he suddenly sneered. “Mr. Xue, don’t tell me you’re just reminding me to protect Xi Xi? Why do I feel that you’re here to stand up for Mr. Huo?”

‘I’m sure Huo Yuzhou won’t target Xi Xi.’

‘You deliberately made Xi Xi misunderstand that the instigator of this matter is Huo Yuzhou.’

Although Xue Liang had already calmed down before he spoke, Gu Zheng could still hear a trace of displeasure from his words. Was he angry with Huo Yuzhou?

The corners of Xue Liang’s mouth twitched slightly as he frowned. “What nonsense are you talking about?”

“It’s nothing. I just said it casually. Mr. Xue, don’t take offense.” Gu Zheng looked at him with a faint smile, his eyes filled with ridicule.

Xue Liang glared at him coldly and said seriously, “I cut off all ties with Huo Yuzhou six years ago. How could I stand up for him? Whether he lives or dies has nothing to do with me. I just don’t want this matter to implicate Xi Xi.”

Sunlight shone in through the window. Gu Zheng leaned against the window with his eyes lowered. His long and thick eyelashes left a shadow on his eyelids. His well-defined fingers gently supported his chin, and he could not hide the smile on his face.

Xue Liang: “…” ‘Damn! Why is this man like a fox?!’

Little Six had learned bad things from Gu Zheng. The two of them kept stabbing him in the heart!

In front of Gu Zheng, Xue Liang felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. In the end, he left the lounge as if he was escaping. Gu Zheng, who was by the window, still had a smile on his face, but his eyes gradually turned cold.

Song Shijing walked over from afar and said respectfully, “President, Mr. Xue must know about it already, so he came to remind you.”

Although Xue Liang did not say it explicitly, it was obvious that he already knew about the grudge between the president and the Brook family. Song Shijing could not help but be worried. They were not afraid of the Brook family, but they were worried about Young Madam…

“Should we tell Young Madam about this?” Song Shijing asked tentatively.

Gu Zheng shook his head, his deep eyes suddenly looking out of the window. He said casually, “I have nothing to do with the Brook family, so there’s naturally no need for me to let her know.”

Song Shijing nodded and did not say anything else.

On the other hand, Qiao Xi pulled Liang Pingchuan along to a corner and asked in a low voice, “Teacher, don’t you think that Fourth Brother hasn’t untied the knot in his heart?”

Liang Pingchuan found it hard to explain. “Among your brothers, your fourth brother values relationships the most. Your eldest and second brothers are emotionless machines. Other than being kind to us, they’re equally heartless to everyone. Your eldest brother is a Best Actor. He’s addicted to acting and only knows how to pretend to be gentle. Your second brother doesn’t want strangers to approach him. He’s like an iceberg. As for Xue Liang, he looks heartless on the surface, but he’s actually the weakest in his heart. He treated Huo Yuzhou as his lifelong friend, so he’s always taken his betrayal to heart.

“His character can’t be changed. As long as he’s loyal to someone, he’ll never be able to forget that person. If he’s hurt by that person, he’ll never be able to let it go.”

As Liang Pingchuan spoke, his face was filled with heartache. “Actually, he didn’t like to learn medicine at all. It was because Huo Yuzhou liked it that he learned from your grandfather. You and Huo Yuzhou both liked music, so he learned how to make musical instruments. After Huo Yuzhou left, he completely gave up on learning medicine and music and became obsessed with making poisons. He didn’t say anything on the surface as if he didn’t care anymore. In fact, he hasn’t forgotten about it for all these years.”

Qiao Xi’s heart suddenly ached.

Liang Pingchuan chuckled as if he wanted to break the sad atmosphere. “Actually, I didn’t want to bring Xue Liang with me this time, but this matter can’t be hidden from him. I thought that since he wanted to come, I should just let him. There are some things that have to be resolved. As long as he gives up, the knot in his heart might be resolved.”
