Chapter 807: Chapter 806 - Mrs. Gu Is Gu Shan

Song Shijing looked disdainful. “Miss Xia, you’ve been overseas for so many years. If you’ve never heard of the designer, Gu Shan, then you’ve been living in vain!”

Qiao Xi: “…”

As expected of Gu Zheng’s assistant, he had a sharp tongue.

Everyone discussed in low voices. “Mrs. Gu is Gu Shan?”

“Gu Shan doesn’t have many works, but every one of them is exquisite. Her international reputation is also more resounding than Sally’s. What right does Miss Xia have to look down on Mrs. Gu?”

Seeing Gu Zheng’s cold expression, everyone quietly left. Not long after, only a few people were left.

Xia Mengyan lowered her eyes with an unhappy expression. She originally wanted to embarrass Qiao Xi in public, but she never expected that she would shoot herself in the foot.

She looked up and smiled indifferently. “Of course, I’ve heard of Gu Shan. I just didn’t expect Mrs. Gu to be Gu Shan.”

Gu Zheng ignored her words and turned to look at Qiao Xi. He said gently, “The perfume exchange will start in a while. Do you want to rest first?”

Qiao Xi nodded. Gu Zheng held Qiao Xi’s hand and was about to leave when Xia Mengyan suddenly said, “President Gu, long time no see. Do you still remember—”

“Why haven’t you left?” Gu Zheng’s tone was instantly cold and filled with impatience. He probably thought that since she had embarrassed herself in public, she would be too embarrassed to continue staying here.

Xia Mengyan’s expression froze. “President Gu…”

Gu Zheng did not even bother to look at Xia Mengyan. Instead, he bent down and asked Qiao Xi gently, “Shall we go to the lounge? It’s too noisy here.”

“President Gu!” Xia Mengyan shouted, her expression extremely ugly. “I know you’re angry with me and blame me for working with the Lu family, but when I agreed to work with the Lu family, I didn’t know about your relationship with the Lu family.

“I can promise you that after this collaboration ends, I won’t help the Lu family anymore. I’ll do my best to help you in the future, so can you forgive me on the account of our past relationship?”

Qiao Xi could not help but raise her eyebrows when she heard Xia Mengyan’s words. From the sound of it, she and Gu Zheng were old friends?

At this moment, Gu Zheng looked up slightly and sized up Xia Mengyan.

Xia Mengyan met Gu Zheng’s gaze and smiled. “President Gu, I knew you wouldn’t—”

“Who are you?” Gu Zheng looked at her in confusion. The entire hall instantly fell silent, and the air seemed to have frozen.

Qiao Xi and Gu Zheng stood there casually, but Xia Mengyan could not take it anymore. She gradually lost control of her expression. Her face was pale, and the corners of her mouth were even twitching slightly.

After a long time, Xia Mengyan gradually calmed down and explained helplessly, “President Gu, you saved me when I was five years old, so I’ll never forget you.”

Gu Zheng looked at her thoughtfully.

Xia Mengyan was instantly excited. “Do you remember? I’m that little girl who wore a pink princess dress!”

“I don’t remember.” Gu Zheng said mercilessly again, “I’m really sorry, Miss Xia. I really don’t remember you. After all, not everyone has a good memory like you. You still remember what happened when you were five years old.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Mengyan’s expression froze and gradually became ferocious.

Gu Zheng glanced at her with disdain, then held Qiao Xi’s hand and turned to leave.

Looking at their intimate backs, Xia Mengyan gritted her teeth. Because there were too many people here, she did not chase after them.

On the other hand, when Gu Zheng and Gu Zheng were about to reach the lounge, Qiao Xi asked curiously, “Ah Zheng, do you really not know Miss Xia?”

Gu Zheng replied without hesitation, “Do I need to know her? She’s not my relative or friend. To me, she’s just a boring passerby. It’s normal for me to forget her.”

Qiao Xi nodded and habitually stroked her hair. She did not notice that Gu Zheng’s gaze was suddenly burning.

Only then did Gu Zheng realize that she was wearing a thin top and a long lace skirt. The clothes revealed her exquisite collarbone and fair neck. No wonder those people had been staring at her just now.

He frowned and took off his jacket to cover her. His voice was domineering. “Put on my jacket!”

Qiao Xi said softly, “But… my clothes are too feminine today. I won’t look good in your suit jacket.”

“You’ll catch a cold.”

Qiao Xi took off his jacket and said with a smile, “It’s okay. The perfume exchange will only last for two hours. Moreover, there’s a heater in the hall, so it’s not cold at all. Other girls are wearing less clothes than me! Don’t worry, I’ll wear the jacket after the exchange. I won’t catch a cold.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
