“Mengqing is in the wrong here, but she really loves Ah Zheng. Miss Qiao, you’re a woman too. You should understand that she did something irrational on the spur of the moment in order to be with the person she loves. The Yao and Gu families have been on good terms for many years. As Gu Zheng’s wife, you shouldn’t pursue this matter. It’s also for your own reputation.”
Qiao Xi could not help but laugh.
Qiao Xi knew very well that Gu Weiming was afraid that if Yao Mengqing went to jail, Lu Yan would be implicated as well. After all, they were in the same boat.
However, she did not expect the Yao family and Gu Weiming to be so shameless as to ask her to let the matter go.
“Chairman Gu, you’re such a good uncle! Miss Yao committed the crime of hiring an assassin to kill me, but you’re actually asking me not to pursue the matter. It turns out that in your eyes, the crime of killing and arson can be forgiven.”
With that said, everyone took a few steps back and looked at Yao Mengqing in disdain.
In order to marry Gu Zheng and get the position of Mrs. Gu, Yao Mengqing actually hired an assassin to kill Qiao Xi and treated human lives as grass. They naturally had to stay away from such a vicious woman.
Madam Yao’s expression softened a little. With Gu Weiming’s appearance, Mengqing should be fine. Hence, she became arrogant. “Qiao Xi, what’s there for you to be unwilling about? No matter what, Mengqing is President Gu’s friend. Moreover, you’re standing here perfectly fine. You still have your arms and legs. What else do you want?!”
Qiao Xi was angered to the point of laughing.
Madam Yao snorted. “What are you laughing about?! You’re not really going to call the police and let Mengqing go to jail, are you?!”
They had long known that the Yao family was shameless, but everyone could not help but be shocked.
Yao Mengqing hired an assassin to kill Qiao Xi, yet Madam Yao was still so arrogant. Logically speaking, shouldn’t she be kneeling on the floor and begging Qiao Xi for forgiveness?
Qiao Xi was just about to retort when Gu Zheng spoke first. “Yes, there’s no need to call the police.”
When they heard this, the Yao family instantly smiled. President Gu had already spoken, so it was useless for Qiao Xi to bicker with him.
Although the Yao family’s businesses were gone, as long as they were still in contact with the Gu family, they would have a chance to make a comeback.
Just as the Yao family heaved a sigh of relief, Gu Zheng curled his lips and waved his hand behind him. He said casually, “Take them
away!”
Gu Weiming’s heart skipped a beat as he hurriedly stopped him. “Ah Zheng, stop fooling around!”
“I can handle this small matter myself. There’s no need to trouble the police.” Gu Zheng smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes at all. It was cold. “Song Shijing.”
Song Shijing nodded and gave the order. The bodyguards rushed in and surrounded the huge banquet hall.
Gu Weiming was furious. “Gu Zheng! What are you doing?!”
The bodyguards in the Gu family’s old residence were originally his subordinates, but now, they were all listening to Gu Zheng. With Gu Zheng’s order, they all made their move.
Gu Zheng’s eyes were cold. “Father, I love Mrs. Gu. Everyone knows that someone wanted to hurt her. I can’t let that person
off!”
The guests in the banquet hall were flustered as they watched Song Shijing drag the Yao family out.
Everyone knew that Gu Zheng was daring, but they did not expect him to take the Yao family away in front of everyone. Was he going to punish the Yao family himself?
If they learned that the Yao family had died, it would definitely have something to do with Gu Zheng.
At this moment, although Gu Zheng’s expression was normal, his eyes were filled with anger. He doted on Mrs. Gu and could not bear to let her suffer at all. However, these people actually wanted to kill her. He wanted to make everyone who hurt her pay a painful price.
“Yao Mengqing hurt… Mrs. Gu. She deserves it! Killing her would be letting her off easy!”
At this moment, Yao Mengqing was being escorted out. She was so afraid that her entire body was trembling. When she heard this, she instantly vomited a mouthful of blood and fainted.
Everyone exclaimed. Gu Weiming was so angry that his face darkened. However, he could not stop Gu Zheng’s actions.
“Father.”
Gu Zheng suddenly said, “Please put away your thoughts and don’t let your son appear in front of me again. Otherwise, he’ll share the same outcome as Yao Mengqing!”
Gu Weiming gasped.
Lu Yan narrowed his eyes, which had turned vicious.
