Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself



He Wenxian suppressed her anger, but she still had to smile. "Of course, I'm willing. I offended Xi Xi, so I should apologize. Take whatever you want."

Qiao Xi made the final decision. "Alright! I want this painting. Ah Zheng, send someone to send the painting back to Longwan Residential now!"

After a while, Song Shijing walked in with white gloves and carefully took the painting…

Bang!

In the silence, the sound of something falling was exceptionally clear.

"What dropped?"

"It seems to have fallen out of the painting! Could it be that there's a secret behind this ancient painting?"

At this moment, Song Shijing had already put away the painting and was about to walk out with Qiao Xi when a socialite exclaimed, "Ah! What's this?!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and their eyes landed on the floor. They were instantly dumbfounded.

"Wait!" The person's voice trembled. "Mrs. Gu, come over and take a look!"

The corners of Qiao Xi's mouth curled into a smile as she turned around. Shockingly, there was a dazzling ruby necklace lying on the floor. It was the legendary Scorching Heart.

The necklace had slipped out from under the painting. Everyone looked at He Wenxian.

Qiao Xi quickly stepped forward with a gloomy expression. "Chairman He, Miss He, aren't you going to explain?"

Even if He Wenxian did not say anything, everyone had a guess in their hearts. They all said, "This must be Scorching Heart! Mrs. Gu is the designer of Scorching Heart. She'll definitely be able to recognize the real Scorching Heart."

"He Weinian reported President Gu for stealing Scorching Heart. Later on, it turned out that He Tingchen hid the necklace in Longwan Residential. Right on the heels of that, the He family pushed their butler out to take the blame. They said that the necklace had long been sold overseas, but now, the necklace is here…"

"Isn't that obvious? It's all the He family's scheme! He Wenxian stole it while He Tingchen framed President Gu. The siblings joined forces to push the butler out to take the blame. Even if the matter was exposed, the He family wouldn't lose anything. After all, the necklace is still in their hands. He Tingchen would definitely be able to come out safely."

He Weinian's expression gradually turned cold.

At this moment, he finally reacted. Qiao Xi had deliberately used the excuse of being wronged to bring everyone to this room with the goal of making Scorching Heart appear in public!

He Weinian hurriedly explained, "This is a fake! Wenxian likes Scorching Heart very much, so she custom-made one for herself."

"Chairman He, I'm the creator of Scorching Heart. There's no need for me to lie in front of me." Qiao Xi's expression was serious, and her eyes were filled with disappointment. "Because you're Ah Zheng's master, we've repeatedly forgiven the He family. We hoped that you could turn over a new leaf and even stop bickering about He Tingchen framing Gu Zheng with you. We even came to attend the banquet, but what did you do?

"It's fine if Madam He and Miss He spread rumors and slandered me, but it turns out that you're behind the meticulous scheme of the theft of Scorching Heart!"

"Miss Qiao!" He Weinian stopped her coldly.

"What? Am I wrong?" Qiao Xi's tone was angry. "Then why did the necklace appear in the He family's residence? Why didn't the He family take out the necklace to prove Ah Zheng's innocence when he was wronged?

"Heh! I almost forgot that you were the one who reported Ah Zheng! Everyone in your He family was part of the plan. Did you want to destroy Gu Zheng?"

Everyone could not help but be angry.

He Weinian never expected Scorching Heart to appear here. He could not explain himself and only pretended to be calm. "Miss Qiao, I said that the necklace is fake. If you don't believe me, we'll send it for appraisal now!"

Qiao Xi nodded. "Alright! We'll do as you say, Chairman He!"

"Song Shijing, send the necklace to be appraised personally and invite a famous jewelry appraiser in the country to appraise it. Let everyone see with their own eyes if this is really Scorching Heart!"

"Yes!"

He Weinian's face was ashen.

Qiao Xi was so confident. Could it be that this necklace was real?

The real necklace had clearly been sold overseas, so how did it appear here? How did Qiao Xi know?

He suddenly looked at He Wenxian. Her face was pale, and her eyes were filled with shock and panic.

Wenxian did not know that the necklace was here either, so there must be a spy in the He family who colluded with Qiao Xi to hide the necklace here!

He had really underestimated Qiao Xi. Because of Wenxian's few words, Qiao Xi blew the matter up and suggested that everyone look at the paintings. Every step seemed reasonable as if she had foreseen it!

He Weinian had seen too many schemes in his life. In the end, he was schemed against by a young lady. For now, he could only insist that the necklace was fake.
