Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself



"Our young madam is already married. She has only seen Young Master He twice in public, but Madam He has already gone around saying that Young Madam seduced Young Master He and wants to divorce the president. If Madam He talks about you single daughters, won't you all be pregnant with Young Master He's child? How are you going to get married if such rumors spread?!"

Everyone's expressions changed drastically as they looked at Madam He with disgust.

Gu Zheng hugged Qiao Xi's waist, and Qiao Xi leaned weakly in the man's arms. The two of them turned around intimately and prepared to leave.

Madam He was about to break down. She was the wife of Gu Zheng's master, yet he did not even greet her? She could not stand such disregard and mockery. She instantly lost her mind and shouted sharply, "Qiao Xi, if it weren't for you, why would Tingchen frame—"

Smack!

Before she could finish, a slap landed on Madam He's face.

He Weinian's eyes were bloodshot. He was so angry that his entire body was trembling. He roared, "Shut up!"

Madam He fell to the floor. Her hair was messy, her cheeks were red and swollen, and her eyes were a little dazed.

"Mom!" He Wenxian cried as she helped Madam He up. The cheeks of the mother and daughter were red, and they looked very miserable.

"Chairman He, your wife and daughter don't welcome my young madam, so there's no need for us to stay here." Song Shijing's tone was respectful, but his eyes were filled with disdain. "Not only did Madam He and Miss He slander Young Madam, but they also instigated Eldest Miss Lu to bully her. We won't just turn a blind eye to this!"

Lu Jinshu also stood up. "That's right! My brother won't let you off for using me to bully Qiao Xi!"

He Weinian's expression was as gloomy as ink. After a long silence, he suppressed the anger in his heart and squeezed out a smile. "Ah Zheng, they were muddle-headed for a moment. I didn't discipline them well. I'll get them to apologize to Xi Xi."

Gu Zheng looked at Qiao Xi, who nodded with an aggrieved expression. "Alright, Ah Zheng. Don't have any grudges against Chairman He because of me. Otherwise, someone will say that I'm a scourge!"

Everyone's hearts ached. Mrs. Gu had suffered such grievances and was afraid that President Gu would be stuck in the middle. It was really a blessing to have such an obedient, sensible, beautiful, and outstanding wife!

Gu Zheng replied gently, then said coldly, "Apologize, then."

No matter how much hatred He Weinian had in his heart, he had no choice but to show some sincerity. He could only chuckle and say, "Of course, we can't let Xi Xi suffer for nothing. Coincidentally, Wenxian bought a few paintings. I heard that Xi Xi also likes ancient paintings. Why don't Xi Xi choose one of them as an apology?!"

Everyone had heard that He Wenxian had accepted a few expensive paintings. Using this as an apology gift was already very sincere. It seemed that this farce should end now.

Qiao Xi said with some fear, "Ah Zheng, accompany me."

Song Shijing asked immediately, "Chairman He, can you allow the president to accompany Young Madam in?"

Of course, He Weinian would not refuse. He could only smile and nod.

He Wenxian clenched her fists tightly. The paintings she had collected were all peerless. Before she could display them, Qiao Xi had already benefited!

"I heard that you also have Former Garden here," Gu Zheng suddenly said.

Qiao Xi had a surprised expression. "Chairman He, can I have that painting?"

He Wenxian almost fainted from anger. This painting was the most precious!

He Weinian smiled. "Of course."

Everyone had also heard of Former Garden. It was a famous painting, so everyone was instantly tempted. A socialite from an ancient family of painters asked excitedly, "Mrs. Gu, can you let us see that painting?"

At this moment, the event location became lively. Everyone wanted to see that painting.

Qiao Xi was slightly hesitant. "This kind of ancient painting has high requirements for the humidity and temperature of the air. It's not convenient to bring it to the banquet hall for everyone to admire. I originally wanted to pack it up and send it back to Longwan Residential. In that case, why don't everyone come with me to look at the paintings in the He residence's collection room? Chairman He, is that okay?"

He Weinian nodded immediately. "We'll do anything you say, Xi Xi."

All the paintings in the He family's collection were placed in the He family's collection room. These ancient paintings were all very fragile and needed to be strictly controlled in temperature and humidity. If one was not careful, they would be destroyed.

Everyone followed carefully behind. They could not help but be shocked when they entered the spacious room.

"Wow! This is too spectacular!"

"Miss He, you must have spent a lot of effort to find these ancient paintings. Now that you've offended Mrs. Gu, you can only part with them."

After everyone entered, they could not help but size up their surroundings. In the end, they arrived in front of Former Garden.

"Ah Zheng, I want this painting. I just don't know if Miss He is willing to give it to me," Qiao Xi said with a smile.
