Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

Chapter 1356 I've Never Been A Gentleman

Huo Yuzhou clenched his fists, and his well-defined fingers turned slightly pale. His usually gentle voice also carried a trace of sharpness. "Why did you tell Xi Xi that I instructed Tan Yu to do those things? I care about Xi Xi so much, so why would I force her to marry Tan Yu? I thought you were a gentleman, but I didn't expect you to be so despicable. You actually used such a method to make Xi Xi misunderstand me!"

Gu Zheng revealed a subtle smile. He did not expect Huo Yuzhou to know about this so quickly. It seemed that he did have some power in Y Nation.

Even though he had been exposed, Gu Zheng's expression was still calm. He did not panic or feel awkward at all. Instead, he replied casually, "Mr. Huo, you've misunderstood. I've never been a gentleman."

"President Gu, aren't you afraid that Xi Xi will find out?" Huo Yuzhou's gaze suddenly turned cold.

Gu Zheng raised his eyes to glance at him and let out a cold snort. "So what? Xi Xi and I are husband and wife, so we naturally know each other and believe in each other. This small matter is insignificant."

Huo Yuzhou gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "Gu Zheng, you and Xi Xi met ten years ago. At that time, you were her senior, Mo Yuan, but she had never seen you before. She married you because you were her senior. The two of you didn't have any feelings for each other before this!

"But I'm different. I was already by Xi Xi's side ten years ago. We met in the village, and I watched the sunrise and sunset with her. After that, the divine physician wanted to take me in as his apprentice, and I almost became her senior!"

Gu Zheng was not angry, but there was a smile in his eyes when he looked at Huo Yuzhou. This opponent was really not bad. He actually found out that he was Mo Yuan so quickly. He had to admit that Huo Yuzhou was much stronger than Lu Yan.

He had heard that Huo Yuzhou was cold, heartless, and decisive. However, when it had to do with Xi Xi, he found it difficult to control his emotions.

After a moment of silence, Gu Zheng sneered. "Mr. Huo, although you and Xi Xi have known each other for a long time, you don't know her well. Actually, Xi Xi misunderstood Tan Yu's matter herself. I just didn't correct her. It's clearly such a flawed matter, but Xi Xi thinks that you did it. Do you know the reason?"

Huo Yuzhou's expression darkened.

"Because in her heart, you're a despicable person. She doesn't believe you, so she thinks that you would do such a thing. Since she already thinks so, why should I correct her?"

Huo Yuzhou's body stiffened as disbelief flashed past his eyes.

In her heart, he was a despicable person. She did not believe him, and that was why she thought that?

The huge lounge was silent as if time had stopped. Gu Zheng looked at his watch but did not suggest leaving.

Just as the atmosphere froze, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the door. Huo Yuzhou's assistant's anxious voice came from outside. "Sir, bad news. Miss Guan and another woman are arguing. Do you want to…"

Huo Yuzhou replied coldly, "If she wants to cause trouble, let her. If something happens, she shouldn't expect me to clean up her mess."

The assistant instantly choked. After being by Mr. Huo's side for so many years, he knew very well that Mr. Huo had always been cold and heartless. He only had his mind on Miss Qiao.

He was silent for a few seconds before saying uneasily, "But… the person quarreling with Miss Guan is… Miss Qiao."

Swoosh!

Huo Yuzhou suddenly stood up, and the medical book fell to the floor. The yellow pages were a little damaged.

Gu Zheng also stood up slowly, but his eyes were extremely sharp. "Mr. Huo, control your woman. Don't let her disturb Xi Xi. If Xi Xi suffers, I won't let her off."

With that, Gu Zheng pushed the door open and left. His footsteps were a little hurried. The assistant at the door looked at the scene in the lounge and could not help but tremble in fear. Mr. Huo stood by the window and did not move for a long time.

After a long time, the assistant asked tentatively, "Sir?"

Huo Yuzhou's voice was a little sorrowful. "Am I really a despicable person in her eyes?"

The assistant: "…" 'What do you think? Can you stop asking me such questions?'

Huo Yuzhou said, "It's useless to ask you. Go warn Guan Hui. If she's obedient, she won't have to worry about food and clothes. However, if she's tired of living and insists on provoking Xi Xi, I'll send her to her death!"

The assistant's heart trembled. He did not expect Mr. Huo to say such things. No matter what, Miss Guan had been by Mr. Huo's side for so many years. Even if she had not contributed anything, she worked hard. Moreover, in the eyes of outsiders, Miss Guan was already his fiancee, but he actually said that if she was tired of living, he would send her to her death.
