Lu Xiang’s eyes were vicious. This little b*tch still dared to bully her.
“Are you full?” Gu Zheng asked.
Qiao Xi said delicately, “I just took two bites and this group of people barged in. I’m anxious to teach Madam Jiang a lesson!
“But Madam Jiang doesn’t seem to be very smart. She keeps staring at me. If she thinks it’s right to be the third party, then I have nothing else to say.”
Qiao Xi bit her lip. “Gu Zheng, why doesn’t she appreciate me spending so much effort to teach her how to be a good person? Forget it, I’ll just eat.”
“Alright, let’s eat.” Gu Zheng nodded.
“But how can I eat while they’re standing here? Looking at this group of people makes me disgusted.”
Qiao Xi frowned and sighed. “Madam Jiang’s current position originally belonged to Eldest Miss Lu. If it weren’t for Madam Jiang insisting on changing the marriage back then, Eldest Miss Lu wouldn’t have married President Gu and she wouldn’t have died at such a young age. The Lu family wouldn’t have severed ties with the Gu family either…”
“Miss Qiao!” Lu Xiang interrupted coldly.
“The Lu family’s matter has nothing to do with you! You’re Gu Zheng’s woman, and he’s an illegitimate child…”
Qiao Xi hurriedly said, “Yes, Madam Jiang, I’m really sorry. I’m a straightforward person. How could I talk about the fact that you’re a mistress in public?
“It’s okay, you won’t admit it anyway. Just keep denying it.”
Lu Xiang cared a lot about her image outside, but now that she was publicly humiliated by Qiao Xi, she couldn’t care less about her image. “What exactly do you want to do?”
Qiao Xi pretended to be aggrieved. “Madam Jiang, don’t be angry. I didn’t do it on purpose just now. No matter what you did, it’s all in the past. Aren’t you living well now? If you’re angry, it means that what I just said is true.”
Lu Yan suddenly walked in front of Qiao Xi and said indifferently, “Miss Qiao, outsiders don’t have to worry about the Lu family. I hope you won’t spout nonsense.”
Qiao Xi had an indifferent expression. “Alright, if even you don’t care about this matter, why should an outsider like me care?”
What she meant was that Lu Yan was unfilial. He knew that his aunt had interfered with his biological mother’s marriage but he still pretended not to know anything about it.
Lu Yan’s expression was indifferent. “Miss Qiao, can we talk in private?”
Qiao Xi immediately refused. “That won’t do.”
The Lu family: “…”
This woman was impenetrable!
Qiao Xi sat down unhurriedly, and after eating a few mouthfuls, she tossed her chopsticks aside. “Gu Zheng, these people are making me feel disgusted. I don’t feel like eating anymore. Let’s go.”
A few juniors of the Lu family instantly roared. “Pfft! Gu Zheng! Your mother is a mistress! She caused the death of our eldest miss, yet you still dare to be so arrogant in front of us. Do you still have any shame?”
Qiao Xi was just about to leave when she suddenly stopped in her tracks and slowly turned around. “Madam Jiang.”
Lu Xiang suppressed her anger.
Qiao Xi said slowly, “You should be very clear whether Gu Zheng is an illegitimate child or not.”
She leaned closer to Lu Xiang and lowered her voice to say, “You made Gu Zheng suffer this infamy precisely because he’s not an illegitimate child.
“You were jealous of Eldest Miss Lu because her looks and bearing are superior to yours. Furthermore, she’s the daughter of the first wife. You’re the illegitimate daughter, so you made sure to let her son live in the shadow of an illegitimate child and suffer eternal humiliation.
“It’s just that you didn’t expect Gu Zheng to become the head of the Gu family. No one dares to touch him, so your plan only exists in your imagination.”
She smiled meaningfully and held Gu Zheng’s hand as they left.
Lu Xiang’s heart trembled. Her mind buzzed, and her body went weak.
How could Qiao Xi know?
After the two of them left Qingyuan Pavilion, Qiao Xi got into the car in a huff. She grabbed Gu Zheng’s hand and asked, “Why didn’t you say anything when they bullied you just now?”
Gu Zheng said casually, “It’s unnecessary.”
Qiao Xi was unwilling. “How is it unnecessary? If you don’t explain yourself, no one will ever know!”
“It’s useless to explain to them. They’ll pay for their mistakes anyway.”
Gu Zheng’s voice was indifferent, but his eyes rippled with a trace of coldness.
