Qiao Xi calmly looked at the infuriated Young Master Lin with an indifferent expression.
“Miss Yao, I wanted to kill you, but I’ve already apologized. You said that no matter what I do, you’ll forgive me. You even wanted to force me to forgive Lin Jie, so you can forgive me, right?”
Lin Jie and Yao Mengqing were so angry that they were trembling.
Yao Mengqing could not say anything.
Qiao Xi threw the knife to the table and said with an aggrieved expression, “Gu Zheng, I’m so angry. Lin Jie reported me, and Miss Yao even forced me to forgive him. If I don’t forgive him, that would make me cruel and heartless. I feel so wronged!
“I just wanted to tell Miss Yao that even if one apologizes, one might not be forgiven. You’re already a married man, yet she still keeps pestering you. If others see this, they’ll definitely say that she’s a mistress. I’m doing this for her sake!”
Yao Mengqing was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
Gu Zheng said casually, “Song Shijing, the second young master of the Yao family was drunk and caused a scene before this. He beat up his girlfriend in public. The Yao family’s biggest rival should be very happy to learn about this.”
“Yes, President. I’ll get it done right away.”
Yao Mengqing’s face darkened. “Ah Zheng, wait, don’t…”
Gu Zheng said indifferently, “I’m sorry, I’ll apologize. Please forgive me.”
Qiao Xi: “…”
Gu Zheng was of a higher status. One sentence from him could anger someone to death!
Yao Mengqing’s legs went weak as she fell onto the sofa. If the Yao family found out that she had offended Gu Zheng and affected the family, they would definitely not let her off!
What right did Qiao Xi have to be protected by Gu Zheng like this?!
Lin Jie saw Yao Mengqing crying and said unwillingly, “Gu Zheng, are you crazy? Are you going to kill Mengqing because of her?”
At this moment, the phone suddenly rang. Lin Jie looked at the caller ID and his heart skipped a beat. When the call connected, he heard an anxious voice from the other end. “Lin Jie! The food factory has been reported to have failed to meet the requirements. An excessive amount of toxic substances have been found. Now that the factory has been closed, the company has also been affected!”
‘It’s over! I wonder how much money I’ll lose this time?!’
“Fine! Gu Zheng, you’re actually so heartless. I won’t let this go! Qiao Xi, just you wait!”
Lin Jie roared and left, but Qiao Xi said loudly, “Young Master Lin, think carefully. Who caused you to become like this?”
Yao Mengqing’s face turned pale.
Lin Jie could not help but look at Yao Mengqing. Seeing that she was crying pitifully, his heart ached very much. He said fiercely, “It’s you! It’s all because of you, Qiao Xi!”
Qiao Xi: “…”
Alright, she would not say anything more.
She looked at Yao Mengqing coldly. “In order to help you, your friend’s company was greatly affected. Why are you still standing here instead of comforting him?”
Yao Mengqing’s face was filled with sorrow. “Ah Zheng, you’re too much. Ah Jie did it for your own good. Moreover, Qiao Xi…”
“Scram!” Gu Zheng said.
“Yao Mengqing, I hope you’ll disappear from my sight immediately. Don’t make me repeat myself.”
“Ah Zheng, you’ve misunderstood me. I’m just…”
Gu Zheng’s eyes were cold. “I’ve already given you a chance. This time, Lin Jie stood up for you. Before that, it was your cousin. What about in the future? Who else do you think can shoulder the responsibility for you?”
The Lin family had suffered heavy losses this time. If they stood up for her again, the entire family would be doomed.
Yao Mengqing’s expression darkened.
She originally thought that by coming to Longwan Residential this time, she could let Gu Zheng see Qiao Xi’s true colors clearly. Unexpectedly, she harmed herself instead.
Yao Mengqing’s head was heavy. She tried her best to squeeze out a smile. “Ah Zheng, I’m sorry. I didn’t do it on purpose. I just treat you as a friend. You… Don’t misunderstand me. I-I’ll… go first.”
Qiao Xi was really helpless. The entire Longwan Residential knew what this woman wanted to do, yet she just had to pretend to be a good friend. Did she think that everyone else was a fool?
“Are you happy now?”
Gu Zheng suddenly said.
Qiao Xi nodded with a smile. “I’m happy, extremely happy!”
Reporting the Lin family’s food factory must not have been a last-minute idea.. Gu Zheng must have long ago prepared to give Lin Jie a taste of his own medicine.
