Chapter 994: You Must Be Very Happy To Be Married To Him!

Qiao Xi could not help but raise her eyebrows. Madam Xia actually called her mother ‘Miss Yunqiu’? Her tone was also a little gentler. “You’re already struggling in the Xia family. If they find out that you let me go, will they let you off? I’ll be fine. Since I dared to come to the Xia family, I have a way to escape unscathed, but I can’t leave now.”

If she really left, Xia Cheng would definitely know that Madam Xia was the one who let her go. What kind of punishment would Madam Xia, who was not liked by the entire family, receive? Would everyone in the Xia family vent their anger on her? Would she be tortured to death?

Qiao Xi did not want to implicate the others. Seeing Madam Xia’s worried expression, she said softly, “Don’t worry, Gu Zheng will save me.”

Madam Xia was slightly stunned, then she smiled with envy. “I heard that President Gu dotes on you very much. You must be very happy to be married to such a man!”

…

In the Xia family’s villa.

At this moment, two luxury cars were parked at the entrance. Xia Cheng was already nervous even before he saw Gu Zheng. The two cars seemed to be reminding Xia Cheng that Qiao Xi’s husband was already here. If they wanted to hurt Qiao Xi, they had to think about what price they should pay.

Xia Cheng’s forehead was covered in a cold sweat, but he had lived for decades, after all. He would not be frightened so easily. He quickly composed himself and led everyone to welcome them. However, before he could reach the car, Song Shijing stopped him.

“Mr. Xia, please stop.”

Song Shijing’s cold and distant voice entered Xia Cheng’s ears. He was instantly infuriated and felt that he had lost his dignity. Qiao Xi was his granddaughter, and as Qiao Xi’s husband, Gu Zheng should respectfully call him ‘Grandpa’. However, Gu Zheng was clearly here, but he did not show his face. Instead, he sent an assistant to stop him. The assistant even spoke so rudely. He did not take him seriously at all.

Gu Zheng was sitting in the car and leaning lazily against the back of the chair. He did not care about the people outside at all. Song Shijing was enough to deal with them. In his eyes, Xia Cheng was just an ant. He came to the Xia family’s villa just to pick up Mrs. Gu. Otherwise, he would not have stepped into the Xia family’s territory. He did not even want to waste time talking to Xia Cheng.

Seeing that Gu Zheng was so rude, Xia Cheng was so angry that his face turned livid and his chest felt heavy. After a while, he forced a smile and said obsequiously, “Mr. Song, please tell President Gu that Xi Xi is a little tired and wants to rest in the guest room for a while. We’ll send her back when she wakes up.”

Gu Zheng, who was in the car, suddenly opened his eyes. His gaze was sharp and cold. Even though he did not get out of the car, it made the surrounding people feel a strong chill.

Song Shijing asked, “Young Madam promised the president that she would come out on time. If she wanted to rest in the Xia family’s residence, she would have called to tell the president. Why didn’t she call?”

Xia Cheng smiled obsequiously and explained, “We were paying our respects to Yunqiu just now. Xi Xi saw Yunqiu’s belongings just now and was too sad. She cried for a long time and got too tired, so she fell asleep. She didn’t have time to call President Gu, so I came out to tell him so that he wouldn’t worry.”

Gu Zheng snorted from the car. Song Shijing said seriously, “So, the family banquet today was to pay respects to Young Madam’s mother. As Madam Xia’s son-in-law, our president naturally has to go in and pay his respects. He can bring Young Madam back with him afterward. Old Master Xia, you won’t refuse, right?”

“Uhh… The worship ceremony has already been completed. We can’t disturb Yunqiu anymore.” Xia Cheng’s expression was extremely ugly. He was nervous for a moment.

Song Shijing nodded. “Alright then. Our president won’t be entering, but it’ll definitely be midnight when Young Madam wakes up. Old Master Xia, please send Young Madam back to Longwan Residential.”

Xia Cheng widened his eyes in disbelief. He did not expect Gu Zheng to be fooled so easily. Perhaps he had other matters to attend to and was in a rush to leave.

In a few hours when it was dark, they would let Mengyan wear Qiao Xi’s clothes back. Their figures were similar anyway, so Song Shijing probably wouldn’t be able to tell. Once Mengyan arrived at Longwan Residential, everything would depend on Mengyan’s methods.

Xia Cheng smiled and nodded. “Don’t worry, Mr. Song. We’ll definitely send Xi Xi back. There are still some trivial matters at home, so I’ll go back first.”

Song Shijing watched Xia Cheng leave and smiled coldly. After the Xia family entered the house, Song Shijing opened the car door and said respectfully, “President, it seems that Xia Cheng is indeed ready to take action.”
