Gu Zheng hurriedly turned on his phone and looked at it. That demon did not leave anything behind. It was as if he had never been here at all. This time, it was a little different from before. Previously, the demon would cause a mess every time he appeared, as though he was afraid that others would not know that he had gone crazy.
Gu Zheng suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and held her hand tightly. “Let’s go to the company.”
Qiao Xi stood in front of the mirror and looked at the dark circles under her eyes. She sighed helplessly. “Why do you want me to go? What does the company’s meeting have to do with me?”
Gu Zheng was a little hesitant. “It’s just…”
He just did not want to be separated from her. He felt uneasy even if it was for a second. He was very afraid of losing her. If Qiao Xi left him, he would definitely go crazy.
Qiao Xi put on makeup to cover her dark circles. The two of them arrived at Gu Corporation. Gu Zheng entered the meeting room first while Qiao Xi went to his office to wait.
An hour later, when Qiao Xi saw that Gu Zheng was not back yet, she was slightly bored and wanted to go out for a walk. She had just left when she bumped into a woman.
…
On the other hand, Gu Zheng had just ended the meeting and hurriedly walked to his office.
The demon had appeared again. Actually, he was a little puzzled as to why the demon kept being unleashed recently. He had not been released for many years.
Gu Zheng’s willpower was too strong, and he was usually very calm. Nothing seemed to be able to anger him, but perhaps his emotions had been unstable recently, so he was easily overpowered.
Song Shiyu sensed that there was something wrong with the president.
Gu Zheng’s eyes shone with a green light, and he looked devilish. “Song Shiyu.”
Song Shiyu said, “Huh?” ‘Damn! President, what’s with that look? I’m so scared!’
“Young Madam is in trouble. You fired Director Feng, so she went to look for Young Madam to cause trouble…” Song Shiyu said nervously.
Gu Zheng was still wondering why he was so emotional when he heard Song Shiyu’s words.
He suddenly frowned. “Qiao Xi is here?”
Song Shiyu widened his eyes in confusion. “Didn’t Young Madam come with you this morning? Young Madam has been waiting for you in the office. I didn’t expect to see Director Feng as soon as I left.”
Gu Zheng was slightly annoyed. Gu Zheng liked Qiao Xi, but he did not like her. Why should he help Qiao Xi? He thought so in his heart, but he could not reveal anything on his face. Hence, he berated angrily, “Are you all trash? You knew that she was in the office, yet you still allowed Director Feng to disturb her! She’s just a weak woman. How can she win against the company’s people?!”
No matter what, Qiao Xi was his wife in name. Although he did not like her, he could not show it in front of others. Moreover, Qiao Xi was his woman. How could he let others bully her?
Song Shiyu: “…” A weak woman?
Although Gu Zheng felt that he did not care about Qiao Xi, he could not help but speed up after he heard the news. “Let’s go take a look!”
Half an hour ago.
Qiao Xi went out for a walk out of boredom. A woman who looked like a secretary walked over and said respectfully, “Mrs. Gu, the receptionist called and said that there’s a young miss downstairs who claims to be your sister. She wants to see you. Do you wish to invite her up?”
Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows. “My sister?”
Xu Anran?
Qiao Xi did not know why Xu Anran was here, but there were many people in the company. It would be difficult to avoid criticism if she kept her waiting downstairs. It was better to let her come upstairs and see what she wanted to do.
“Bring her up.”
The secretary brought Xu Anran upstairs. At this moment, she was wearing a white dress and looked weak like a little white flower that had gone through many harsh things.
Qiao Xi’s expression was calm. “Sit.”
Xu Anran seemed to be shocked as she said while trembling, “Sister, I won’t sit down.”
Qiao Xi looked at her pretentious appearance and sneered in her heart. It seemed that she had been practicing her acting skills at home these past few days. She came looking for her to pretend to be a weak and innocent woman!
Did Xu Anran think that as long as she pretended to be weak, others would think that she was being bullied and pity her?
Perhaps others might pity Xu Anran, but Qiao Xi did not indulge her. She did not care about what others thought.
Qiao Xi sneered. “Forget it, then. Just stand.”
Xu Anran didn’t seem to have expected Qiao Xi to be so heartless. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly as she lowered her head aggrievedly.
Suddenly, the people in the lounge were pushed aside. A woman cried and rushed in. “Mrs. Gu, you must be Mrs. Gu! Boo-hoo…”
Qiao Xi looked in the direction of the voice. “You…”
