Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself



Gu Zheng frowned. He had never heard of a large family with the surname Meng. After a long silence, Gu Zheng suddenly recalled that Qiao Xi had said that she had seen a doctor called Meng Fan in the Medical Association. Not only did he know the secret of her blood, but he also seemed to be filled with hostility toward her.

This did not seem to be a coincidence. Could that person be Meng Fan?

"Investigate this man's relationship with Xia Yunqiu."

"Madam Xia?" Song Shijing was surprised, then nodded.

The new patriarch of the family looked to be at most 30 years old. What could he have to do with Madam Xia? When Madam Xia passed away, he was still a child!

Song Shijing suddenly thought of something and reported, "President, apart from the Brook family, there were also people sent by He Wenxian to kill Young Madam that night. Uncle Sheng has already sent someone to lock He Wenxian up in Longwan Residential. What should we do with her?"

Gu Zheng knew very well in his heart that the old patriarch of the Brook family did not want to kill Qiao Xi, but He Wenxian did. He would absolutely not let this go.

"He Weinian spent a lot of effort to send He Wenxian overseas, but she insisted on courting death. Let's fulfill her wish!" Gu Zheng's eyes burst with strong killing intent. "Let Uncle Sheng handle it."

"Roger that!" Song Shijing's heart trembled. Ever since the president and Young Madam got married, Longwan Residential had not seen blood for a long time.

An entire day later, Qiao Xi still did not wake up. Her injuries were not serious, so it was probably because she had been too nervous recently that she fell into a deep sleep.

After Gu Zheng woke up, he had been by her side, applying medicine for her and massaging her. He even chatted with her like a silly boy in love.

Just then, Song Shijing knocked on the door. "President, Young Master Xia is here."

Xia Jingan?

They were in a small city that was not developed. It seemed that Xia Jingan had some tricks up his sleeve to be able to find this place so quickly.

After a while, Xia Jingan entered and asked with a cold face, "Why aren't you bringing Xi Xi back to Li City?"

Gu Zheng's voice was indifferent. "This is my business. I have no reason to explain myself to you."

"What's going on between you and that female singer? Why did so many people come to look for Xi Xi recently? What are your plans for the Brook family?" Xia Jingan could not suppress the anger in his heart when he thought of Qiao Xi's sad appearance.

"The Brook family attacked Xi Xi because of you. You know very well that you can't let Xi Xi be in danger anymore!"

Gu Zheng's body trembled, and his voice was low and hoarse. "I know."

He lowered his eyes to look at Qiao Xi, whose face was pale. His eyes were filled with pity and love. "From now on, I'm enemies with the Brook family. It's true that I didn't protect Xi Xi well. When Xi Xi wakes up, I'll beg her for forgiveness. Young Master Xia, you don't have to be a busybody."

Xia Jingan could not help but retort, "But I'm her—"

"You're just her cousin." At this moment, a voice came from outside the door. Ye Qingyuan entered, looking travel-worn. There was a trace of coldness on his body.

"Young Master Xia, you also know about the grudge between the Xia family and Qiao Xi. Qiao Xi definitely doesn't want to have any more dealings with the Xia family. Before you criticize Gu Zheng, you should first think about whether you're qualified to do so."

"Qingyuan," Gu Zheng greeted with a smile.

Ye Qingyuan looked at him with a complicated expression. "You… Are you crazy? Do you want to die?"

Gu Zheng lowered his eyes. He knew that Ye Qingyuan was blaming him for being too rash. He was clearly injured by a gunshot, yet he still jumped into the sea to save her. "If she's not by my side, there's no point in me living."

When Ye Qingyuan heard this, the anger in his heart turned into helplessness. "Fortunately, you're both safe and sound."

With that, Ye Qingyuan looked at Xia Jingan with a gloomy expression. "You're from the Xia family. It's best if you don't interact with Xi Xi in the future. She doesn't lack a cousin like you."

When Ye Qingyuan heard that Old Madam Xia wanted to bring Qiao Xi back to the capital, he knew that she definitely had ill intentions. If Qiao Xi really went to the capital, she would be a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Did Xia Jingan not know what an outsider like him knew? If he really cared about Qiao Xi, he should keep a distance.

Xia Jingan was instantly speechless. He knew that the Xia family had let Xia Yunqiu and Qiao Xi down, but he did not have any ill intentions. He just wanted to care about Qiao Xi.

Previously, he had already suspected his identity. When he found out that Qiao Xi was being chased after and went missing, he seemed to have some sort of telepathic connection. If they were not biological siblings, how could there be such a phenomenon?

He looked at the person on the bed with burning eyes. After not seeing her for a few days, she had lost a lot of weight. Her petite face was as pale as paper, and her breathing was shallow like a kitten. He could not bear to leave.

Ye Qingyuan said impatiently, "Young Master Xia, please leave!"

"Mhm… Don't be noisy…"

Suddenly, a faint voice sounded. It sounded a little lazy and confused.
