Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

1413 Elegant And Noble Man

He Weinian was silent for a moment. There was a trace of coldness in the corners of his eyes, but he said gently, “Miss Qiao, someone else asked Wenxian to restore this painting. Everyone in our He family can prove it. I wonder… how did Wenxian offend you? Why are you targeting her? Could it be because of… Gu Zheng?”

He Weinian’s laughter carried a trace of mockery. “Miss Qiao, don’t worry. Wenxian and Ah Zheng are just friends.”

Qiao Xi sneered in her heart. He Weinian was indeed an old fox. With just a few words, he made her look like a jealous woman. Everyone thought that she was jealous that He Wenxian and Gu Zheng were childhood sweethearts, so she targeted He Wenxian.

She did not care about everyone’s gazes and just smiled indifferently. “Miss He, are you unwilling to admit it?”

He Wenxian’s eyes were filled with sorrow as she bit her lip. “Xi Xi…”

“Chairman He.” Qiao Xi’s sharp gaze landed on He Weinian. “Since I was able to say this in public, it means that I’m sure that Miss He isn’t the one who restored this painting.”

He Weinian said unhurriedly, “Then who do you think restored this painting, Miss Qiao?”

“Me.” Qiao Xi’s voice was cold. As soon as this answer was uttered, the entire venue instantly fell silent.

He Wenxian’s expression stiffened, and her face gradually turned pale. She had indeed guessed Qiao Xi’s identity, but when Qiao Xi said it in public, she was still unable to accept it.

A trace of panic flashed through He Weinian’s eyes. He originally did not want to fall out with Qiao Xi, but now that Qiao Xi had said it in public, he could only offend her.

The Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor… had to be Wenxian!

He Wenxian stood on the spot, her mind in a mess. Actually, this was not the first time she had snatched someone else’s identity. However, those people were either already dead or did not dare to retort because of the He family’s power. However, Qiao Xi had Gu Zheng’s back, so she naturally had the guts to stand up and resist.

He Wenxian lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment. She smiled helplessly. “Xi Xi, stop fooling around. Everyone knows that I’m the Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor. Even if you don’t like me, you can’t spout nonsense!”

Qiao Xi looked at her coldly. “Since you said that you’re the Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor, then show me the evidence.”

He Wenxian was flustered. She knew that Qiao Xi had a record of the exhibition, so she was confident in questioning her in public. However, as for the evidence in her hands…

She hesitated for a few seconds before saying, “The official invitation letter is evidence. Xi Xi, you said that you’re the Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor, so why is the invitation in my hands?”

Qiao Xi retorted without the slightest hesitation, “With the He family’s current power, isn’t it very easy to intercept an invitation? Miss He, you said that you’re the Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor and that I’m deliberately slandering you, but you can’t produce any evidence. Since we’re both saying conflicting things, why don’t we compete?”

He Wenxian’s face was pale, and she gradually lost control of her expression. Her tone also became irritable. “Why should I compete with you? I know you don’t like me just because Ah Zheng and I are childhood sweethearts, but we’re just friends. If you say that I’m not the Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor, then show me the evidence! You’re slandering me with empty words. Miss Qiao, aren’t you bullying me right now?”

He Weinian’s expression was also a little gloomy. “Miss Qiao, even if you’re Ah Zheng’s wife, you can’t bully Wenxian like this. No matter how bad our He family is, we’re still a rich family. How can I allow you to slander my daughter like this?”

The surrounding crowd echoed, “That’s right! Miss Qiao, you’re deliberately targeting Miss He. It’s about time. Don’t affect the progress of the event.”

Qiao Xi had an indifferent expression. He Wenxian was quite good at winning over people’s hearts. It had only been a short while, yet she had already obtained a large number of fans. There was no need for He Wenxian to speak up for her.

Just as Qiao Xi was about to counterattack, the surroundings suddenly fell silent. The dense crowd suddenly made way. They saw a tall figure who was standing at the door with the light against him.

The man was wearing a black windbreaker. He was tall and well-proportioned. He wore a black mask, revealing only his long eyes and thin lips. He exuded an elegant and noble aura.

Everyone looked at each other. They had a feeling that this person’s identity was not ordinary, but they had never seen him before. What was even more shocking was that the few veteran cultural relic experts present all went forward to greet him warmly.

When one of the reporters saw who it was, his eyes instantly lit up as he exclaimed, “Mr. Twilight is here!”

Boom!!!

These words were like a huge rock that smashed into everyone’s hearts. They all looked at the man.

His long and sharp eyes swept across the crowd. His eyes were calm, but they were hidden with stars, making one inadvertently indulge in them.
