Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself



"Little Six, although Li City is far from the capital, we can't let our guard down. You have to be vigilant of your surroundings at all times. I'll continue to investigate the laboratory," Qin An said seriously.

Qiao Xi agreed. "I understand, don't worry."

After hanging up, the two of them walked all the way to Li University's entrance. Students came and went. When they saw Qiao Xi, they wanted to greet her, but when they saw the tall and cold man beside her, they did not dare to go forward.

"Do you have a class today?" Gu Zheng asked.

"The class I'm teaching is about to do an internship. I haven't had any classes recently."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Xi's phone rang again. Xiao Lan's voice sounded. "Young Madam, um… Mr. He Tingchen is outside the villa. He wants to look for the president. I said that you weren't around, but he said that he wants to wait for you in the villa. Uncle Sheng is blocking the door. Do you want him to come in?"

Qiao Xi raised her eyes to look at Gu Zheng. "He Tingchen wants to see you."

Gu Zheng got into the car and said indifferently, "No."

After Qiao Xi finished speaking according to Gu Zheng's instructions, Xiao Lan said with some difficulty, "But Young Master He isn't willing to leave. Isn't it inappropriate to keep him waiting outside?"

Qiao Xi frowned. What was He Tingchen trying to do?

Gu Zheng took the phone and said coldly, "Tell him that I'm in the Gu family's old residence. If there's anything, he should look for me there."

"Alright, President."

After Xiao Lan hung up, she immediately went to convey Gu Zheng's message.

At eight in the evening, in the Gu family's old residence.

Old Madam Gu was leaning against the sofa and watching TV. When she saw Qiao Xi arrive, she hurriedly said warmly, "Xi Xi, come over quickly and chat with me."

After Qiao Xi sat down, Old Madam Gu went straight to the point. "He Tingchen came to the Gu family today to see Ah Zheng. How could he have the cheek to look for Ah Zheng?"

Qiao Xi said indifferently, "He Tingchen is simple-minded and doesn't know about the dirty things in the He family. He has always thought that he and Ah Zheng are good friends."

"He's innocent, but he's also stupid. Everything he's enjoying now was left behind by He Weinian's ex-wife. As the child of a mistress, even if He Tingchen doesn't know anything, he's not innocent!"

"A mistress? Didn't Madam He only marry Chairman He two years after his ex-wife passed away?" Qiao Xi asked.

Old Madam Gu snorted in disdain. "I've lived for so long and basically know everything about the noble families in Li City. The He family's scandals naturally can't escape my eyes.

"Rumor has it that He Weinian and his ex-wife were loving. He said he was grateful to his wife and father-in-law for their help in front of outsiders, but after he succeeded, he didn't feel grateful. Instead, he felt that he had finally escaped their control and didn't have to listen to them anymore.

"Qiao Zhenguo and my good-for-nothing son, Gu Weiming, are the same type of men. He Weinian relied on his wife and father-in-law to have his current achievements, but in the end, his parents-in-law died an unnatural death. His wife and child also died in a car accident. Yet no one actually suspects He Weinian?

"Everyone thinks that even if He Weinian killed his wife and in-laws, he wouldn't have killed his child, but…" Old Madam Gu paused, her smile cold. "But some people are just so vicious!"

Qiao Xi's eyes trembled. Even though she had already guessed it, she still felt shocked when she heard it with her own ears.

Old Madam Gu said indifferently, "Actually, I've long known that He Weinian isn't an easy person to deal with! I remember that when his ex-wife was still alive, I saw He Weinian being very close to a woman. Two years after his ex-wife died, that woman married him.

"He Weinian clearly had an affair with that woman a long time ago, but two years after his ex-wife passed away, he pretended that the two of them had just met and got married. A year later, he gave birth to a child who was sent overseas to recuperate because of his illness. He Tingchen was already 15 when he returned to the country."

15 years old?

Qiao Xi's gaze was slightly cold.

If a 15-year-old boy developed well, it would not be strange for him to look 18 or 19 years old. He Weinian could even make an 18 or 19-year-old look 15 through his clothes and hairstyle. Moreover, no one would suspect anything.

In that case, before He Weinian's ex-wife passed away, the mistress had secretly given birth to He Tingchen. In that case, the deaths of He Weinian's ex-wife and in-laws were definitely not an accident.

Qiao Xi was deep in thought when Gu Zheng pushed the door open and walked in. Old Madam Gu smiled and said, "Ah Zheng is here."

Gu Zheng said softly, "Grandma, it's getting late. You should rest early. I'll bring Xi Xi back."

"Alright! Go ahead." Old Madam Gu chuckled as she watched the two of them leave.
