Gu Zheng’s gaze was sharp. “Qiao Xi, you’re too kind.”

Qiao Xi abruptly raised her eyes with a puzzled expression.

His voice was cold as he said what he was thinking.

“You have to destroy everything they have. You have to make them wish they were dead. You have to make them fall into despair. You have to destroy their reputations and make them be abandoned by everyone.

“You have to torture them and make them feel endless pain. You have to make them kneel down and beg you. In the end, they’ll die of depression.”

Gu Zheng said casually, “This is the only way to take revenge.”

Qiao Xi was unable to recover from her shock for a long time.

Gu Zheng… was on the same page as her?

Qiao Xi’s face was filled with surprise, but she still pretended to be weak.

“Ah Zheng, I’m such a weak person. How can I be so vicious…”

“Mhm.” Gu Zheng knew that if he exposed her, it would definitely make her feel awkward, so he followed her words and said, “You don’t have to do it. I’ll help you.”

She did not have to do such a bloody thing herself.

Qiao Xi was slightly stunned, and her heart felt warm.

‘Wow! Gu Zheng is too manly! I like him too much!

‘Qiao Xi, calm down. Your little heart is beating too quickly. You can’t be charmed by a man!

‘But I can’t control myself! He’s so handsome! I love him so much!

‘Gu Zheng! Muacks!’

Gu Zheng listened to her heartfelt words with a gentle gaze. He gently pulled her into his arms and pressed his body tightly against hers.

They could clearly hear each other’s heartbeats. He had never been so happy before. It was as if he had obtained the most precious treasure in the world.

He could hear her heart because he had drunk her blood. Perhaps the blood would lose its effect after a while. He could only hear her thoughts again the next time the poison acted up.

However, Gu Zheng’s heart ached for her. In order to save him, she had to cut herself.

He would rather endure the pain of the poison acting up and not being able to listen to her thoughts than see her get hurt.

The man lowered his eyes and walked straight to the study. He closed the door and called Qin An.

Qin An was Qiao Xi’s senior. He would be very willing to suppress the Qiao family with him.

…

A few days later, Qiao Zhenguo called.

He said in an arrogant tone, “The owner of Fragrance Hotel has invited our family to a banquet. As a member of the Qiao family, you have to attend as well. Wear appropriate clothing and don’t embarrass the Qiao family. Be at the entrance of Fragrance Hotel tomorrow at ten.”

Then, he hung up.

Qiao Xi was speechless. Her father would not do things for no benefits. He definitely had a reason for asking her to attend the banquet.

Going up against her? How laughable!

Where did he think Fragrance Hotel was? It was her territory!

…

The next day at ten.

Qiao Xi was wearing a long black dress that outlined her perfect figure. Her seaweed-like hair fell on her shoulders, and she had an extremely imposing aura that caused everyone to raise their eyebrows.

Xu Mei was chatting with a middle-aged man. When he saw Qiao Xi, he was stunned. “President Qiao, your eldest daughter is so beautiful?”

Qiao Zhenguo looked obsequious. “President Qian, you’re too kind. Actually, my younger daughter is more outstanding. It’s just that she’s already engaged to the young master of the Gu family, so I let the eldest daughter come. What do you think?”

President Qian’s eyes were filled with wretchedness. “Very good! I like her very much…”

Xu Mei and Qiao Zhenguo looked at each other before hurriedly going forward to welcome Qiao Xi.

“Xi Xi, the Qiao family is in a bit of a dilemma now. You’re from the Qiao family, after all. You have to do something to help us tide through this crisis. President Qian is a rich man. As long as you marry him, this matter will be settled. In the future, you can live the life of a rich madam.”

Qiao Xi was so angry that she laughed. How could Xu Mei have the cheek to say such things? Why didn’t she marry President Qian herself, then?

How laughable!

Qiao Xi’s face was covered in disdain.

“Xi Xi, you can’t just watch the company go bankrupt, right?”

Xu Mei looked sad. “You’re also a daughter of the Qiao family, so you have to make some contributions. Back then, a president took a liking to your mother and wanted her to sleep with him. If she hadn’t refused, the Qiao family wouldn’t have fallen to this state! You two can’t just care about yourself. You have to think about the Qiao family too!”

If Xu Mei only wanted to anger her, she had already done it..
