Lu Zhi’s eyebrows relaxed. “I see. I thought that it was a gift from the future head of the Yin family. I misunderstood.”

Initially, he thought that since Gu Shan was already married to President Gu, how could she accept a bracelet from another man? Moreover, this was not an ordinary bracelet but a family heirloom that represented the Yin family’s identity.

“The future head you’re talking about is Yin Jingting?”

“Yes, he looks gentle on the surface, but he’s decisive. If the Yin family is handed to him, he’ll definitely lead the family to greater heights! No wonder so many noble families want their daughters to marry him. I heard that Old Master Xia has accepted many generous gifts from noble families just relying on the fact that he’s Yin Jingting’s grandfather.”

Qiao Xi frowned. “With my cousin’s temper, he definitely won’t just allow it.”

“Of course, so the Xia family is being blamed and ostracized by all parties now.” Suddenly, Lu Zhi paused and smiled. “By the way, guess why I came to Li City this time.”

Qiao Xi had a confused expression. She was also curious about what Lu Zhi was doing in Li City. Liuli’s headquarters was overseas, and he did not have any business in Li City. Could it be that he came all the way to Li City to travel?

Lu Zhi smiled and said, “I’m here in Li City for your husband. I have a potential collaboration to talk to him about. I don’t think he’ll refuse.”

Qiao Xi raised her eyes to glance at him and asked casually, “What collaboration?”

Lu Zhi looked mysterious. “It has nothing to do with you. You don’t need to know.”

Qiao Xi supported her chin and blinked. “What big matter are you hiding from me?”

Lu Zhi looked at her sparkling eyes and shook his head helplessly. “Madam, although I’m working for you, I’m still the president of Liuli Corporation. Do you have to interfere in my private matters?”

Qiao Xi nodded thoughtfully. “You don’t have to tell me about your private matters. I don’t want to know either, but…”

When Lu Zhi heard the word ‘but’, he knew that things were not that simple. The next second, Qiao Xi said with a serious expression, “But since it concerns Gu Zheng, I have to know!”

She had to know everything about Gu Zheng. Even though he had an unbearable childhood and a dark past, she had never despised him. She just thought it was a pity she didn’t meet Gu Zheng earlier.

Lu Zhi was in a difficult position. After a moment, he said in a low and hoarse voice, “This matter is a little complicated. Miss Lu Qingyun died from poison, and someone in our family was also poisoned. It’s difficult for me to find any useful clues alone, so I want to work with President Gu to see if we can make any progress.”

Qiao Xi had long guessed that Lu Zhi was related to the Lu family, but she did not expect that he was actually here to look for clues about the poison.

“I’ll talk to President Gu about this. I’ll get going first.” Lu Zhi stood up and put away the contract. He pursed his lips and said, “Your husband is probably already on his way here. He was so nervous to know you were having a meal with me. He’s rushing over as if he’s afraid I’ll kidnap you.”

With that, Lu Zhi left. Qiao Xi’s phone flashed. It was a message from Gu Zheng asking her to wait for him at the Western restaurant.

Qiao Xi sat in the private room and looked at the people coming and going outside through the wide and bright French windows. She savored the coffee and leaned comfortably on the soft and comfortable sofa. Her mind was a little chaotic. The faces of the Lu family members flashed past her eyes one after another when the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open.

Qiao Xi thought that Gu Zheng was here and hurriedly looked up. Unexpectedly, it was a few women dressed exquisitely and luxuriously. The woman in the lead was wearing gold and silver as she walked in arrogantly. She was wearing luxury brands from head to toe. Her outfit was worth at least a few hundred thousand yuan. Coupled with the jewelry on her body that definitely exceeded a million yuan, she exuded a strong aura of a nouveau riche.

Everyone was stunned for a few seconds when they saw Qiao Xi. The woman standing at the back said awkwardly, “Ting Ting, there’s someone in the private room. Let’s change rooms.”

Unexpectedly, the woman called ‘Ting Ting’ frowned and shouted rudely, “Why should I leave? I’ve always sat in this private room. If you want to leave, leave. I’m not leaving!”

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman aggressively walked over to Qiao Xi and said coldly, “You! Get out!”

Qiao Xi raised her eyes and looked at the woman in front of her as if she was looking at an idiot. ‘Where did this idiot come from? Can an idiot leave the house as they please now?’

She ignored her and leisurely picked up the coffee. Coincidentally, she shook the jade bracelet on her wrist. Yu Manting’s expression instantly darkened, and her eyes were bloodshot. She grabbed Qiao Xi’s hand as if she had gone mad and cursed, “Vixen! Why are you wearing the Yin family’s bracelet?! Take it off!”
