Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself



"Xia Chunyu probably didn't tell you what exactly happened. She slandered Qiao Xi for stealing the lotus bracelet, but Qiao Xi's bracelet was given to her by Madam Yin Lianxin. Xia Chunyu spouted nonsense at the Qin family's birthday party and offended Madam Qin, Gu Zheng, and even Old Madam Yin. If I had protected her, it'd be very difficult for her to walk out of the Qin family today. Do you really want the matter to blow up?

"You should know what kind of person Gu Zheng is. Xia Chunyu offended him, and as a result of that, she might die for no reason one day. How long do you think the Xia family can protect Xia Chunyu?

"I asked her to apologize to Qiao Xi because I want to let the matter rest. She can't go around causing trouble just because she's the eldest daughter of the Xia family. There's always someone in this world she can't afford to offend. Does she even know the consequences of causing trouble in Gu Zheng's territory?!"

Xia Jingan said calmly. The assistant beside him was stunned.

The young master actually refuted the old madam for the first time. Every word he said made sense. It seemed that the young master was finally going to resist!

Yin Lianyi roared, "Xia Jingan!"

"Grandma, I'm very busy. I'll hang up first." Xia Jingan hung up mercilessly.

The assistant at the side was curious. "Young Master, why are you…"

Xia Jingan pinched the space between his eyebrows tiredly. "I think I've discovered some secrets."

After the birthday party ended, Old Madam Yin and Qiao Xi walked to the door together. She held Qiao Xi's hand and said earnestly, "Xi Xi, there are some things you can't avoid. You have to face them."

Qiao Xi knew what Old Madam Yin meant. The grudge between her and the Xia family had to be revealed one day. Instead of hiding, it was better to face it head-on.

"No matter what difficulties you encounter, you can look for me at any time." With that, Old Madam Yin seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked, "By the way, you and Gu Zheng have been married for so long. When are you planning to hold a wedding?"

The moment that was said, Gu Zheng was stunned.

Wedding?

Old Madam Yin was reminding him that he had not given Xi Xi a wedding yet. It was not that he did not want to hold it, but Xi Xi had been waiting for the divine physician to return. Now that he was about to go to the capital, it was time to prepare for the wedding.

Qiao Xi fell into deep thought and followed Gu Zheng into the car.

…

The next day.

Gu Zheng had just brought Qiao Xi back from university. As soon as he entered, Uncle Sheng rushed over. "Young Madam, a gentleman wants to see you. He stood outside the door for two hours. I really couldn't stand it anymore, so I could only get someone to bring him to the living room to wait."

Qiao Xi was stunned for a moment. Who was in such a rush to see her?

"Who is it?"

"He didn't say his name. He just said that you know him, but I've never seen him before. He doesn't look like a bad person." Uncle Sheng had been in Longwan Residential for so many years and had seen most of the dignitaries in Li City, but he didn't know this person, which meant that this person was very likely not from Li City.

Qiao Xi entered the living room and could not help but raise her eyebrows. "Young Master Xia?"

The man in the living room had a cold expression and a straight back. He was elegant and leisurely. He did not look like he had been waiting for more than three hours.

Seeing Qiao Xi and Gu Zheng enter, Xia Jingan slowly stood up. "Mrs. Gu, Mr. Gu."

"Sit." After Qiao Xi finished speaking, she and Gu Zheng sat opposite Xia Jingan.

"Young Master Xia, why are you here today? If it's because of Miss Xia, there's no need to talk anymore."

Xia Jingan's tone was gentle. "No, it's about you."

Gu Zheng's eyes turned cold.

"It's about your background."

As soon as these words were spoken, Qiao Xi's pupils constricted.

Xia Jingan went straight to the point. "From your reaction, you must already know your background. Your mother, Xia Yunqiu, is my biological aunt."

Qiao Xi had an indifferent expression. "Oh… You're Xia Zishan's son."

"Yes," Xia Jingan said calmly. "I'm her only son, and Xia Chunyu is her adopted daughter. My father's identity is unknown, so I took my mother's surname."

"What's the point of telling me this?"

Xia Jingan said slowly, "You're Xia Yunqiu's daughter and the daughter of the Xia family. Your identity is nobler than Xia Chunyu's. Are you willing to return to the Xia family?"

Qiao Xi curled her lips. "Is this Old Madam Xia's idea?"

"It's Grandma's idea," Xia Jingan replied truthfully.

Qiao Xi was slightly surprised. Back then, Yin Lianyi abandoned her mother and naturally hated her. Why would she let her return to the Xia family as the daughter of the Xia family? Then what should Xia Chunyu do?

Didn't Yin Lianyi dote on Xia Chunyu very much? Could she bear to let Xia Chunyu suffer?

"I'm unwilling," Qiao Xi replied unhurriedly.
