Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

Chapter 86: Time To Calm Down?

The entire hotel had been booked by the Meng family, so this car must be a guest attending the banquet.

Everyone looked at the car with their mouths agape.

“This person is really here?”

“Damn, I think the Meng family is the only family in Li City who can receive such an honor.”

When Qiao Xi heard this, she thought that Qin An had arrived. She was about to turn around and call out to him as well as complain that he was late. Unexpectedly, she met a pair of cold eyes the moment she turned around.

Gu Zheng! Gu Zheng had actually arrived first!

Was this scumbag here to teach her a lesson? Did he want to lock her up? Did he want to be like Meng Wan and get the security guards to throw her out?

The more Qiao Xi thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. She could not take it anymore. Under Meng Wan and Wang Nuo’s amused gazes, she pushed the security guards away and strode out. She did not need the security guards to chase her away; she would leave herself!

She snorted and walked out of the door angrily. However, when she passed Gu Zheng, he grabbed her.

“After playing around for so long, you should be appeased by now, right?”

There was silence for a moment.

Qiao Xi was stunned for two seconds. What was Gu Zheng doing? He did not want to lock her up anymore?

Gu Zheng paused and lowered his eyes. “Don’t want to talk to me yet? Why are you so petty? Come in with me first. I’ll let you do whatever you want later, okay?”

Qiao Xi was stunned. Was this man really talking to her? He was even letting her in? Shouldn’t this man be helping Meng Wan and pointing at her nose, telling her to quickly get lost? He was actually coaxing her so kindly now?

Qiao Xi snorted. Did he think that she could forgive him just because he coaxed her a little?

Gu Zheng saw Qiao Xi’s angry appearance and was about to say something when he heard her say coquettishly, “I don’t want to go in with you. Miss Meng and this young lady beside her just said that they don’t welcome me and I can’t enter without an invitation. They even asked the security guards to chase me away.”

Gu Zheng looked up indifferently. “You didn’t let her in?”

Meng Wan gasped and quickly explained, “Brother Gu Zheng, I-I didn’t…”

Wang Nuo was anxious to please Meng Wan and Gu Zheng, so she spoke first. “Young Master Gu, Wan Wan isn’t to be blamed for this. Although Miss Qiao came with you, she doesn’t have an invitation. You also know that the Meng family’s banquet is very grand this time. Many people want to sneak in, so even though Wan Wan knows that you brought Miss Qiao here, she didn’t let her in. The main reason is that the rules can’t be broken. I hope you can understand, Young Master Gu.”

“Moreover…” Wang Nuo glanced at Qiao Xi and said meaningfully, “Wouldn’t bringing such a promiscuous woman to the Meng family’s banquet cause trouble for the old master?”

Wang Nuo felt that her words were reasonable and Gu Zheng would definitely listen to her. If the others also found out about Qiao Xi’s identity, they would definitely think that a mistress coming to the Meng family’s banquet was equivalent to not showing the Meng family any respect. Someone like Gu Zheng would definitely understand this logic.

Qiao Xi puckered her lips. “You heard that, right? They said I don’t have an invitation and won’t let an indecent woman like me in.”

Only then did Gu Zheng notice the woman who spoke. He narrowed his eyes and said casually, “Don’t have an invitation?”

Song Shiyu had been by Gu Zheng’s side for a long time and knew what he wanted to do the moment he opened his mouth. He took out two invitation cards and handed them to Gu Zheng respectfully.

The corners of Gu Zheng’s mouth curled up into a faint smile. “It looks like the invitation letter personally sent by Old Master Meng doesn’t hold any weight. In that case, please tell Old Master Meng that I, Gu Zheng, am here. However, someone said that my invitation letter is fake, so I won’t be attending this banquet.”

Song Shiyu handed the gift to the security guard at the side. “Congratulations to the Meng family for getting Gu Shan’s high-end gown, ‘Time Flows’. This is President Gu’s gift. Please pass it to the old master.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Zheng turned around and walked out. Qiao Xi blinked and very obediently did not create trouble. She followed behind him.

She knew that Gu Zheng was venting his anger for her. Even if she wanted to ruin his reputation, she could not ruin it now.

Meng Wan could not believe it as her pupils dilated from shock. “Brother Gu Zheng, you’re leaving? You’re leaving for this woman at such an important event?”

Gu Zheng did not even want to look at her. Song Shiyu went over to stop Meng Wan and said with a smile, “Miss Meng, since you said that the invitation from Old Master Meng doesn’t count, of course, President Gu can’t enter. After all, we can’t break the Meng family’s rules, right?

“By the way, I have to remind everyone who has yet to enter the banquet hall. If you guys have received an invitation from the Meng family, remember to check if it’s real or fake. If it’s fake, don’t enter. Otherwise, you’ll be chased out by others. That’d be quite embarrassing.”

Was this really a reminder…? It was hard to say.
