Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

1204 Photos From The Past

Everyone in Li City’s upper class society knew about the He family and Gu Zheng’s past. They had always thought that the He family was Gu Zheng’s benefactor. Therefore, as soon as the He family returned, everyone swarmed over, wanting to use the He family to negotiate a collaboration with Gu Zheng. Hence, the He family was able to be popular because of Gu Zheng.

Gu Zheng looked at her intently. “They’re not worthy of Mrs. Gu’s attention. I’ll handle it well.”

Qiao Xi knew that Gu Zheng was confident in handling this matter. His calmness meant that he no longer took the He family seriously. After all, it was the He family who took the initiative to cut ties with him back then. Now, they regretted it. How could they want Gu Zheng to accept them?

“Xi Xi, why aren’t you sleeping yet? What’s the matter?” Gu Zheng raised his eyebrows with a smile in his eyes.

Qiao Xi smiled slyly and hurriedly leaned in front of him. She said sweetly, “Ah Zheng, I have something to tell you.”

“Go ahead,” Gu Zheng said gently.

Qiao Xi said impatiently, “Ah Zheng, although we’ve known each other for 10 years, I’ve never seen what you looked like in the past. I want to see your old photos, okay?”

Gu Zheng raised his eyes slightly, and his light brown eyes seemed to be hiding something. His probing gaze landed on Qiao Xi, who was a little nervous under his gaze. She hurriedly explained, “I just suddenly had that thought and wanted to see what you looked like when you were younger.”

She had gone to look for the butler just now, but the butler said that Gu Zheng did not like to take photos. He did not know where his old photos were and even asked her to ask Gu Zheng herself.

Later on, the butler even told her mysteriously, “Although the president doesn’t like to take photos, Young Master Gu Yao often took photos! He even took many photos of the president, but those photos were confiscated by the president. Even so, he wouldn’t have destroyed them. He must have hidden them.”

Then, Qiao Xi anxiously called Gu Yao to ask about the photos. Gu Yao replied excitedly, “Yes! I had just bought a camera at that time and took a lot of photos of Gu Zheng. There were also some private photos of him! The kind where he was without clothes!”

When Qiao Xi heard this, she almost drooled. She could not help but sigh in her heart. Gu Yao was really a little angel.

Not long after, Qiao Xi found the study. She knew that Gu Zheng must have hidden the photos, so she fawned over him. “Ah Zheng… I want to see your old photos!”

Gu Zheng lowered his eyes and glanced at her, then hurriedly looked away. His ears were slightly red, and his Adam’s apple moved. He said in a hoarse voice, “I don’t have any.”

Of course, Qiao Xi did not believe him. She pulled Gu Zheng’s collar and said in a bewitching tone, “Ah Zheng, we’ve been married for so long, but you’re still unwilling to show me the photos. Could it be that you were very ugly in the past and are too embarrassed to show the photos to me?”

Gu Zheng snorted. “Mrs. Gu, how are you so sure that I have any photos?”

“Of course, I’m sure! I asked…” Qiao Xi stopped talking. She could not expose Gu Yao. That would be too disloyal.

Gu Zheng lowered his eyes and replied calmly, “Mrs. Gu, I was the illegitimate son of the Gu family in the past. I was struggling at death’s door. How could I have been in the mood to take photos? Besides, I don’t like taking photos to begin with. How could I have any photos?”

Qiao Xi instantly choked.

She thought for a long time before saying hesitantly, “Really? Didn’t you take a graduation photo when you were in school? You should have a graduation photo, right? There must be a photo on your graduation certificate! Let me see it!”

Gu Zheng asked meaningfully, “Mrs. Gu, why do you suddenly want to see my old photos?”

Qiao Xi instantly became nervous and gulped. She pondered for a long time and thought about it carefully. If she made up an excuse to lie to Gu Zheng, Gu Zheng would definitely see through her. In that case, Gu Zheng would definitely not show her any of his photos.

After hesitating for a moment, Qiao Xi replied truthfully, “Actually, it’s nothing much. I just dreamed of you when you were in your teens last night, so I wanted to see if the younger you were exactly the same as the version of you I dreamed of.”

Song Shijing and Song Shiyu: “…”

Young Madam’s reason was too far-fetched!

Gu Zheng narrowed his eyes before quickly returning to normal. He smiled at her. “Mrs. Gu, even if you want to lie to me, you should find a better excuse.”

Qiao Xi wanted to cry but had no tears.

She defended herself anxiously. “I’m not lying to you! I’m telling the truth!”

She was afraid that Gu Zheng would not believe her, so she told him the truth. However, he still did not believe her! She was clearly telling the truth!
