Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

1377 The Man In Her Dream Appeared Again!

Qiao Xi nodded and waved her hand to signal the shadow guard to leave.

At this moment, she already knew the internal makeup of the Brook family. Huo Yuzhou and Madam Tan were enemies, while Earl Kang and Miss Kang were on Madam Tan’s side.

Madam Tan was a woman, after all. It was not appropriate for her to meet the earl often, so she could only meet Miss Kang. Miss Kang would become the middleman between both parties.

All of this sounded very reasonable, but Qiao Xi realized a main point. Miss Kang rarely interacted with outsiders but met Madam Tan often. After that, Madam Tan brought Tan Yu to Li City. This might be a coincidence, but it was also possible that this matter was related to Miss Kang.

Qiao Xi shook her head and felt that she was thinking too much. She did not know Miss Kang at all, much less that earl. Why were they targeting her?

After a day of torture, Qiao Xi felt a little tired, so she leaned against the sofa and fell asleep. She fell into a dream again, and it was exactly the same as before.

The room was white. She was lying on the bed with a pale face. There was a circle of people around her, holding her hands and feet tightly. The other two people were holding syringes that were inserted into her fragile blood vessels.

A few minutes later, a man walked in from the door. His voice was gentle as he spoke softly to the doctor. He took a few steps forward and looked at Qiao Xi with a sad and complicated gaze.

The man stood by the bed and quietly watched the doctor take her blood. He watched as she lost consciousness. Before he left, he said, “Give her a blood transfusion immediately. Don’t let her life be in danger.”

Hah! He was actually worried that she would die. How hypocritical!

Qiao Xi woke up from her dream and cursed that hypocritical man in her heart. He was inferior to Huo Yuzhou. At least, Huo Yuzhou did what he did and never found excuses for himself.

She stood up and moved her limbs. She realized that her surroundings were dark. Unknowingly, it was already nine in the evening. She had actually slept for so long. She stood up and was about to go to the bedroom when her expression suddenly changed.

Wait! She seemed to have seen the face of the man in her dream this time!

Even though she was dreaming, Qiao Xi still remembered the scene of that man standing by the bed and looking at her. That face was so unfamiliar, and this man did not exist in Qiao Xi’s memory at all.

At this moment, Qiao Xi was extremely sure that she had once lost a portion of her memory, and the reason for that was probably related to this man.

Qiao Xi stood on the spot and was stunned for a moment before standing up to go to the study. She casually found a pen and paper and drew the man’s face. However, she only saw the man’s side profile. Moreover, he was standing at an angle, so the portrait was incomplete.

It was really too difficult to find someone with just an incomplete painting.

Qiao Xi put down the brush and stared fixedly at the man in the painting. He had gentle eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and a well-defined face. He was also very young. She took this painting to Gu Zheng’s study.

The man was busy with work with a serious expression. Song Shijing’s face was also tense. “President, if…”

“Alright, go handle it.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Shijing realized that Qiao Xi had pushed the door open and entered. He was stunned for a moment, then said respectfully, “President, I’ll go out first.”

Gu Zheng nodded and turned his head to look at Qiao Xi. She walked forward and asked softly, “What’s wrong?”

Song Shijing stopped in his tracks. This time, there was a lot of trouble. The Brook family had already sent someone to investigate the president’s identity. Moreover, the Brook family was a local noble family in Y Nation, after all. They were powerful all over the country. There were many members of the Brook family in Gu Corporation’s branch in Y Nation. If they did not find those people, there would be endless trouble.

However, Gu Zheng looked up slowly and smiled dotingly. “It’s nothing. It’s just a project that was delayed for a long time and couldn’t be completed, so I asked Song Shijing to handle it.”

Song Shijing choked: “…”

The president was really good at lying.

However, he had to admit that the president was really a good husband. He was unwilling to trouble Young Madam at all.

After Song Shijing left, a trace of coldness flashed past Gu Zheng’s eyes. However, when he looked up at Qiao Xi again, the coldness in his eyes disappeared instantly and was replaced by a gentle smile. “Aren’t you tired? Why aren’t you resting?”

Qiao Xi sized up her surroundings. There was not a single document on the table, and the computer was not turned on. Was Gu Zheng dealing with work?

She was silent for a moment, then handed the painting in her hand to Gu Zheng. “Do you know this man?”
