Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Old Master Xia, do you think that because you’ve already arranged for people outside that as long as you give the order, they’ll add fuel to the fire and post this matter online? Moreover, you think that since the people from Jia Ye Corporation will also know about this matter and make it known to everyone, Qiao Xi will bear the reputation of being unfilial regardless of whether this matter is true or not.”

Gu Zheng’s words hit the nail on the head. His indifferent tone and voice made the usually calm Xia Cheng’s face turn livid.

“Mr. Xia, this is my territory. What right do you have to fight me here? Are all the members of the Xia family so naive?”

Xia Cheng’s expression was gloomy, and his eyes were bloodshot. Gu Zheng was just a junior, yet he was so disrespectful to him. However, he could not do anything to Gu Zheng.

A trace of impatience flashed past Gu Zheng’s eyes as if he found it disgusting to say another word to Xia Cheng. He turned to look at Qiao Xi, and his tone became gentle. “Xi Xi, let’s go upstairs.”2

Xia Cheng was unconvinced and wanted to pull Qiao Xi forward immediately, but he was stopped by Song Shijing. He smiled formally. “Mr. Xia, this is Gu Corporation. Our president has the right to decide who to meet. If you think you’re shameless enough, you can stand here and wait. I just don’t know if you have the cheek to continue standing here.”

Xia Cheng stared fiercely at Gu Zheng’s and Qiao Xi’s backs, wishing for nothing more than to rush over and tear them apart. Not only had he not obtained any shares on this trip today, but he was even mocked in public. Since he had already offended Gu Zheng, he could not wait to be trampled on. He had to resist.

On the other hand, Gu Zheng went upstairs and asked Qiao Xi to rest in the inner room while he sat in the office chair. His gentle expression earlier was gradually shrouded by a layer of darkness, and his entire body emitted dense killing intent.

Song Shiyu was so scared that his body trembled. He asked in a trembling voice, “President, do you need me to do anything about those two people from the Xia family? I’ll deal with them.”

Gu Zheng looked up and glanced at him coldly. Song Shiyu gasped. Song Shijing glanced at him. Why was this younger brother of his still so stupid? The president went downstairs because he cared about Young Madam. No matter who the person was, as long as they bullied Young Madam, the president would not sit idly by. He had to tell everyone that Qiao Xi was his wife. If they wanted to bully Qiao Xi, they had to go through him.

Afraid that his brother would anger the president, Song Shijing said quickly, “President, have you dealt with Old Master Xia’s subordinates?”

Gu Zheng responded indifferently. Song Shijing was a little surprised. “He must have made full preparations this time and brought a lot of people with him. How did you resolve the issue so quickly?”

“Are those pieces of trash under him worthy of wasting my time?” Gu Zheng tapped his long fingers on the table, his tone very disdainful.

......

Xia Cheng’s subordinates were nothing in the president’s eyes. Who else present would dare to take the risk of offending the president and spread the news?

What Gu Zheng did was to nip the rumors in the bud and not let anyone have the chance to hurt Mrs. Gu. He would not allow such things to happen.

“What about that person from Jia Ye Corporation?” Song Shijing asked.

Gu Zheng thought for a moment and said coldly, “Jia Ye Corporation spent a lot of effort to get this collaboration, so I was willing to give them a chance. However, they didn’t cherish it, so we’ll cancel the collaboration. Jiaye Corporation isn’t the best choice for us.”

Song Shijing nodded and immediately issued the president’s order. The president of Jia Ye Corporation never expected that he would lose the collaboration with Gu Corporation just because he spoke up for a woman. They had spent a lot of money and time to get this opportunity. Now, because of his carelessness, all their previous efforts were ruined.

…

At this moment, Qiao Xi was resting in the office. She casually picked up a book from the shelf and was just about to sit down when she noticed that there was a yellow notebook hidden behind the shelf. It looked very old and seemed to be filled with stories. Qiao Xi’s entire body trembled as her forehead suddenly hurt violently as if something was about to rush out of her mind.

Gu Zheng pushed open the door to the inner room and quickly walked toward her. He bent down and asked softly, “Are you feeling unwell?”

Qiao Xi held her forehead as her mind was a mess. A few unfamiliar scenes flashed past her mind, and her heart ached. Her body seemed to be covered in a cold sweat as a suffocating feeling swept over her, causing her to break out in a cold sweat.
