Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

Chapter 1634 Aren't You Going To Look In The Mirror Before You Leave?

?

At night, Qiao Xi returned to Maple Garden. She had just walked to the door when she heard He Wenxian's voice. "Ah Zheng, those people in the capital won't let her off. If you can't protect her, why don't you be with me? We've been together for so many years. Why did you have to marry her?"

Gu Zheng's voice was cold. "Miss He, don't you look in the mirror before you leave?"

He Wenxian was instantly angry. "She'll die sooner or later. Why don't you—urgh!"

Gu Zheng's eyes were filled with killing intent. He grabbed He Wenxian's throat tightly and tightened his grip bit by bit. "Miss He, if you dare to say another word, I'll break your neck."

He Wenxian's body trembled. She could clearly feel the killing intent on Gu Zheng's body. He would really kill her!

"Back then, He Weinian stepped on the bones of other people to climb up the social ladder. Now, you still have the cheek to curse Xi Xi?" Gu Zheng shook him off in disgust and said, "Get lost!"

He Wenxian got up from the floor and shouted in exasperation, "Gu Zheng, you'll regret it! You can't protect her!"

With that, she ran out in a panic and did not see Qiao Xi hiding at the door.

Qiao Xi walked out of the shadows and looked at Gu Zheng's tall figure. He was clearly such a powerful person, yet he seemed a little tired at this moment.

She slowly walked in, and Gu Zheng suddenly looked up. "Move out of the Gu family tomorrow. I've arranged a place for you."

"I'm not going." Qiao Xi refused without the slightest hesitation and approached him step by step. "You were deliberately fierce to me yesterday. What exactly is your plan?"

Gu Zheng's lips tightened.

Qiao Xi raised her head and looked at him seriously. "Gu Zheng, you're distancing yourself from me because you're afraid of implicating me, right?"

Gu Zheng's voice was hoarse. "Be good."

Qiao Xi's eyes turned red. "You reprimanded me for He Tingchen yesterday, and you're chasing me away today. Back then, when we got married, you said that you would treat me well. Have you changed so quickly?"

Gu Zheng: "…"

He could not bear to see Qiao Xi sad. He massaged his temples and advised gently, "You'll be implicated by my side."

"He Weinian isn't a kind person. Even if I leave, he won't let me off. Once something happens to you, they'll attack me next!" Qiao Xi choked.

Gu Zheng held her hand, his eyes filled with reluctance but determination. "I can't be by your side during this period of time. This matter is very dangerous. It might…"

It might involve those dirty families in the capital, and he would officially declare war on them. He was not afraid of failure, but he could not let harm go Xi Xi's way.

He had to leave Xi Xi a way out. If she did not participate in this matter, at least she would not have to suffer the fierce revenge of those people. After the incident, he would send Xi Xi to the Yin family in Shengdu, far away from the capital.

"I'm not afraid. I can protect myself." Qiao Xi looked at him with a burning gaze.

Gu Zheng knew that his delicate wife was capable, but he was still unwilling to let her be in any danger.

After a long silence, Gu Zheng suddenly changed the topic. "Xi Xi, I'm hungry. I want to eat glutinous rice balls."

Qiao Xi glared at him. "Nonsense! We're still having a cold war!"

Gu Zheng chuckled. His voice was hoarse and sexy with a trace of coquettishness. "I was wrong. Mrs. Gu, please forgive me."

Qiao Xi's heart skipped a beat. Was Gu Zheng acting cute to her?

She walked to the kitchen helplessly. After struggling for a long time, she finally made the glutinous rice balls.

After the two of them finished eating, Qiao Xi went upstairs to take a shower. Gu Zheng watched her leave in fascination. Even when her figure disappeared, he was still standing in the same spot, his face filled with gentleness and reluctance.

After a long time, Gu Zheng's expression suddenly turned cold. His voice was extremely cold. "Let's start."

"If Qiao Xi finds out that you and I planned this behind her back, she definitely won't let me off." A man walked out of the darkness. Cheng Juan leisurely walked to the sofa and sat down with his arms crossed.

"Have you delivered the things?" Gu Zheng asked.

"Of course. The real Scorching Heart is still in the He family. The one in Longwan Residential is a fake. If the matter is exposed, you'll have to suffer for a few more days."

Gu Zheng smirked. "It doesn't matter."

The next day.

Qiao Xi woke up from her sleep and abruptly sat up. She was not in the Gu family or Longwan Residential. She was in an unfamiliar room.

Before she could think further, someone pushed the door open and entered. An unfamiliar servant said respectfully, "Young Madam, Assistant Song is waiting for you downstairs."

Song Shiyu?

In that case, Gu Zheng was the one who sent her here!

Qiao Xi quickly put on her clothes and rushed downstairs. She saw Song Shiyu in the middle of the living room. When he saw her coming downstairs, he went up to her with a flattering expression. "Young Madam, breakfast is ready."

Qiao Xi looked at him coldly. "What exactly does Gu Zheng want to do?"
