Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself



Anger surged in He Wenxian's heart. She gritted her teeth and did not say anything.

"What? Miss He, you don't acknowledge me as your sister-in-law?" Qiao Xi asked with an innocent expression. "Since you're already Ah Zheng's younger sister, it's only right for you to call me your sister-in-law, right?"

eaglesnovɐ1,сoМ He Wenxian was so angry that her face turned red. When she was young, she had dreamed of marrying Gu Zheng. If it were not for what had happened five years ago, she would have long become Mrs. Gu. How could Qiao Xi dare to show off in front of her?

However, she could not offend Qiao Xi yet. She had to take her time and separate Qiao Xi and Gu Zheng bit by bit. She could only swallow her anger first.

He Wenxian was silent for a long time before she said helplessly, "Xi Xi, it's not that I don't acknowledge you, but I'm older than you. It's not appropriate for me to call you my sister-in-law, right?"

Qiao Xi's tone was gentle. "It is appropriate! Call me that."

Everyone's gazes landed on He Wenxian. Old Madam Gu and Gu Yao's gazes were especially burning. If she refused to call out, they might immediately chase her out of the house.

He Wenxian felt her cheeks burning. In the end, she gritted her teeth. "Sister-in-law."

It was just one word, but it seemed to have exhausted all her strength. The hatred in her eyes grew stronger.

Qiao Xi smiled in satisfaction, then pulled Gu Zheng's sleeve and said sweetly, "Ah Zheng, I want to eat fish."

Gu Zheng was not impatient at all. He picked up a piece of fish with the chopsticks and placed it in the bowl. He even thoughtfully picked off the bones and said in an extremely gentle voice, "Gluttonous cat."

He Wenxian clenched her fists, her sharp fingers digging into her palms. Even in the few years when she was on the best terms with Gu Zheng, he had never treated her so gently.

Other than his relatives by his side, Gu Zheng rarely interacted with women. He Wenxian thought that she was a special case as she could accompany Gu Zheng, but Gu Zheng still did not allow her to go to his bedroom or touch his personal belongings, much less put food in her bowl.

Why was Qiao Xi able to obtain his favoritism? Just because they were married? If she married Gu Zheng, would she also be able to enjoy Gu Zheng's favoritism?

At this moment, Qiao Xi started acting cute again. "Ah Zheng, I want to drink soup. Feed me."

A trace of a smile flashed past Gu Zheng's eyes. He picked up the spoon he had used and gently fed her the soup. "Mrs. Gu, drink it."

Qiao Xi saw the smile in his eyes and blushed in embarrassment. He knew that she was acting for He Wenxian, but he doted on her and accommodated her.

The spoon was about to reach her mouth when Qiao Xi obediently opened her mouth. Gu Zheng gently fed her a few mouthfuls.

This scene made Old Madam Gu feel happy. In the past, she was still worried about Ah Zheng's marriage and was afraid that he would die alone. Fortunately, he had Xi Xi.

"Don't the two of you have any manners?!" Old Master Gu slammed the table angrily. "Ah Zheng, this is a family banquet. Are you going to let this woman fool around?"

Qiao Xi pursed her lips and blinked aggrievedly. "I'm sorry, Grandpa. Ah Zheng usually feeds me like this at home, so I'm used to it. Hubby, why didn't you remind me? You caused me to be reprimanded by Grandpa!"

Gu Zheng's eyes were still doting. He even picked up a tissue to wipe the corners of her lips. He Wenxian, who was at the side, gritted her teeth in jealousy.

Ever since everyone sat down, Gu Zheng's gaze had been on Qiao Xi. His gaze was so gentle and doting as if he had changed into a different person.

He watched Qiao Xi fool around with a smile on the corners of his mouth. It seemed that as long as he was around, even if Qiao Xi flipped the table, he would protect her unconditionally.

Why did such a gentle and powerful Gu Zheng only belong to Qiao Xi?

Old Master Gu was angered to the point his face flushed red. He said while trembling, "You… Qiao Xi, you're really shameless!"

Qiao Xi's eyes were red as she pounced into Gu Zheng's arms. "Ah Zheng, Grandpa is scolding me."

Gu Zheng patted her back gently and said casually, "I don't want to hear anyone insult my wife again. Otherwise, I don't mind destroying the Gu family."

Old Master Gu almost fainted. This woman was a vixen who wanted to drive a wedge between Gu Zheng and the Gu family. However, Gu Zheng was actually threatening him because of this woman!

It was because he could not stand Qiao Xi that he acknowledged He Wenxian as his god-granddaughter and gave her a chance to get close to Gu Zheng. On account of their past relationship, perhaps Gu Zheng would like He Wenxian.

With the Gu family's current power, they did not need to consolidate their status through marriage, but Gu Zheng should not have chosen that wild girl, Qiao Xi!

He Weinian was Gu Zheng's master. When He Wenxian was young, she often came to the Gu family. At that time, Gu Zheng and He Wenxian were very close. He had filtered so many women for so many years and thought that He Wenxian was the most qualified to be the madam of the Gu family, but Gu Zheng only had eyes for that shameless woman!
