The white curtain was pulled open, and a young woman appeared in front of him in a pure white wedding dress. Her petite face was covered by light makeup, and a thin veil covered her dark hair. The layers in her skirt bloomed like white roses, and her slender and fair fingers were crossed over her stomach. Her eyes were like stars that flickered, making one indulge in them, only to find that it was impossible to extricate oneself.
At this moment, time seemed to have stopped. Gu Zheng looked at Qiao Xi in front of him in a daze. He could only hear his own heartbeat.
The staff members quietly left to give the two of them some privacy. Gu Zheng could not help but chuckle. His voice was hoarse. "You're very beautiful."
Qiao Xi smiled and said, "I think it's not bad either. I'll take this."
Gu Zheng nodded. "Buy this set first. I've asked Song Shijing to contact world-renowned wedding designers. They'll come up with the designs soon. You can choose a few more sets then."
Qiao Xi was slightly surprised. "Why should I buy so many wedding gowns? There's nowhere to put them!"
"That's true." Gu Zheng was deep in thought. Then, he called Song Shijing. "Immediately tidy up a room to store Young Madam's wedding dresses."
Qiao Xi: "…" He was rich and wilful!
At the He family's villa.
The He family announced to the public that they had already sent He Wenxian overseas, but He Wenxian refused to leave. She hid in the He family's villa and read the curses online. She was utterly dispirited.
"Wenxian!" Madam He rushed in. "Pack your luggage and go overseas immediately!"
He Wenxian's eyes revealed resentment. Sending her overseas meant that the family was abandoning her to protect themselves. She had done so much for this family, but she was abandoned just like that!
"Ah Zheng isn't even pursuing the matter anymore, so why should I go overseas?" He Wenxian questioned unwillingly.
Madam He looked troubled. "Wenxian, you have to understand your father. The He family is in the middle of the storm now. Gu Zheng isn't pursuing the matter now, but once the matter blows up, the He family will bear the huge consequences. For the sake of the overall situation, go overseas and lie low."
"Then when can I come back?"
Madam He hurriedly said, "When everyone forgets about this matter, we'll bring you back."
Her eyes flashed as she felt a little guilty. If He Weinian wanted to take Qiao Xi's blood, he could not let others have something on him. Hence, Wenxian would not be able to come back for a while.
He Wenxian's voice was sharp. "You're lying! You don't plan on bringing me back at all. You want to chase me overseas. Do you think I'm useless now?"
"Keep your voice down!" Madam He looked out of the door. "Wenxian, calm down."
He Wenxian suddenly laughed with a crazy expression. "I know why my father wants Qiao Xi's blood. He's done many evil deeds in his life and caused the deaths of so many orphans. Isn't it all for the sake of studying that medicine?
"I've been helping Dad since I was young while my brother lives a carefree life. There's no blood on his hands. He's the most innocent because Dad can't bear to let him know about those dirty things!" He Wenxian's eyes were filled with heartache. "We're both children of the same mother. Why should he sacrifice me?
"In Dad's eyes, I'm just a chess piece. The He family's business has to be left to He Tingchen, and I don't have a share at all!"
He Wenxian's eyes were bloodshot. "He Tingchen was locked up in the police station, but Dad tried his best to save him. I only made a small mistake, yet he wants to send me overseas. I've been planning for so long, but I ended up like this. The whole family has already decided to abandon me!"
Madam He's expression gradually darkened. "Wenxian, what nonsense are you talking about?! You're our daughter. How could we abandon you? You're just going overseas to lie low. After your father's plan succeeds, he'll definitely bring you home!"
At this moment, Madam He had also lost her patience. She could not bear to part with her daughter, but she would not allow her daughter to stay and ruin that plan.
He Wenxian's eyes were filled with resentment, and her voice suddenly calmed down. "Alright! I agree to go overseas. Anyway, even if I don't leave, Dad will force me to leave!"
Madam He's heart could not help but ache when she saw her sad expression. She wanted to reach out and touch her face, but He Wenxian coldly dodged her hand. "Leave. I'm going to pack my luggage."
At this moment, He Wenxian's phone rang.
"Miss He, Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu are preparing to hold a wedding. Will you attend?"
He Wenxian's face instantly turned pale.
Qiao Xi had caused her to leave the country dejectedly, yet she still wanted to hold a high-profile wedding with Gu Zheng?
What right did she have?
The resentment in He Wenxian's eyes was about to overflow. She gritted her teeth.
