The servants thought that Second Madam had completely cut off all contact with the old madam a few years ago. They originally thought that the old madam did not want to see her daughter anymore, but she was, after all, her biological daughter. How could she completely cut ties with her? After the old madam found out that Second Madamâs biological daughter went missing, she had been hoping to find her biological granddaughter. Now that she had finally found her, how could she not meet her?
Li Cityâs Xu family.
Xu Anran sat on the sofa with tears streaming down her face. She was trembling. Mr. Xu pointed at her and roared, âYou idiot! Itâs fine that you let your brother take revenge for you, but why didnât you tell him that Gu Zheng was in the car? Getting people to kill Gu Zheng is equivalent to killing the Xu family!â
Madam Xu quickly shielded Xu Anran. âStop shouting. What does this have to do with Anran? Anran didnât ask Anyi to do it. Anyi wanted to stand up for his sister, so he sent his people to do the task. I say that Qiao Xi is to blame for this. If she hadnât caused trouble, how could so many things have happened? How could Anyi have been arrested?â
âAnyi has been focusing on his job for the past 20 years and has never done anything wrong. He just happened to run into trouble when he encountered Qiao Xi. Itâs all Qiao Xiâs fault!â
Qiao Xi sat in front of the table in the bedroom with a computer in front of her. The screen showed the surveillance footage from downstairs. When she heard their words, she could not help but sneer. Gu Zheng smirked. âMrs. Gu, itâs against the rules to do this.â
Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows. âWho asked them to have ill intentions? I did this for the sake of protecting myself. After all, the Xu family harbors a criminal who hired people to kill me. Even though I wasnât killed, Iâm afraid. Is there a problem with installing a pinhole camera?â
The man took a few steps closer and smiled. âMrs. Gu, do you want me to forgive the Xu family?â
Qiao Xi smiled slyly.
Gu Zheng instantly understood and said casually, âTheyâll come and beg me soon. In order to avenge Mrs. Gu, of course, I wonât let go easily.â
The corners of Qiao Xiâs mouth curled up as she lowered her head in embarrassment.
Gu Zhengâs heart instantly felt warm. Mrs. Gu was always so cute. She would be so touched that she did not know what to do whenever he helped her.
The next secondâ¦
Qiao Xi raised her eyes and lifted her head arrogantly. âDonât tell me you think you can move my heart just like that? Even without you, there are still many people who will help me vent my anger. Youâre not the only one. Iâm really too charming. Iâm just so doted on by so many. It canât be helped. Being too outstanding is also a flaw.â
Gu Zheng: ââ¦â
The man was silent for a moment. He pursed his lips and sighed helplessly. âIâll get Song Shiyu to stay here to protect you.â Qiao Xi pretended to be unwilling. âAh Zheng, Iâll miss you!â
Gu Zheng lowered his eyes and looked at her smiling eyes. He could not help but smile gently. âAlright, Iâll miss you too.â
Qiao Xi waved at him. Just as she was about to leave, Gu Zheng reached out and pulled her into his embrace, scaring her into shouting.
She blushed. âWhat? I already said that Iâll miss you. After all, this is the first time weâve been separated since we got married. If you really miss me, Ah Zheng, why donâtâ¦â

âMrs. Gu, Iâll go back now. You can call me if you need anything.â
Qiao Xi instantly choked. âHow can phone calls make up for the pain of missing you? Without me by your side, every day must feel like a year to you!â
She smiled slyly. âWhy donât-â.
âIâll come again tomorrow.â
Qiao Xiâs face sank as she glared at Gu Zhengâs smiling eyes.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
At this moment, even if he could not hear Qiao Xiâs thoughts, he could tell what she was thinking. She just wanted him to stay so that she could recover her taste buds again.
Gu Zheng smiled helplessly when he saw Qiao Xi frown and look troubled. âAlright.â
Qiao Xi raised her eyes and was slightly puzzled. She was just about to ask what âokayâ meant when she felt a warmth on her lips. âRest well. The Xu family wonât look for trouble with you for the time being.â Qiao Xi hurriedly picked up the apple on the table and took a bite. The sweetness was truly too wonderful. Her taste buds were finally recovered.
âI donât think so. If the Xu family knows that you and I were in the same car, they might come looking for me directly and ask me to plead for Xu Anyi. Theyâll definitely come looking for trouble with me.â
