472: Gu Moling? Is He Worthy?

Gu Moling? Is He Worthy?

"Young Master Zhong, are you deaf? Didn't President Gu just say that even he doesn't dare to ask for so much from Mrs. Gu? What right do you have?" Song Shijing reminded him.2

Zhong Ming did not understand what he meant and thought that it was because Gu Zheng thought that he was too troublesome. Gu Zheng did not even have so many requests for Mrs. Gu, yet he had so many requests for Qiao Xi. However, was this related?

Zhong Ming had been pampered since he was young, so he sneered. "President Gu treats Mrs. Gu well because she's outstanding. Qiao Xi! What right do you have to compare yourself to Mrs. Gu? Moreover, Qiao Xi is my wife. Why should someone else discipline my wife for me?"

"Heh."

A cold laugh sounded.

Gu Zheng sat in the main seat with deep eyes. His thin lips parted slightly. "Indeed, knowing someone by their reputation is inferior to meeting them in person. Young Master Zhong is indeed as unbearable as the rumors say!"

Zhong Ming was angered to the point his face flushed red. He had liked Qiao Xi for a long time, but he never had the chance. This time, it was Qiao Rou who agreed to sell Qiao Xi to the Zhong family. Was a woman who was sold to the Zhong family worthy of their care and concern?

Madam Zhong and Mr. Zhong acted a little strangely. President Gu had never been a busybody. Could it be that he knew Qiao Xi and that was why he spoke up for her? Hence, he could not help but ask, "President Gu, you… You know Qiao Xi?"

Mr. Zhong felt a cold gaze land on him. Coupled with what Gu Zheng had just said, he seemed to understand something. Hence, he said while trembling, "This… This is a misunderstanding. Our Zhong family and the Qiao family have just gotten engaged. Qiao Xi is the future mistress of the Zhong family. How could we treat her badly? What we said just now was just a joke."

"The mistress of the Zhong family?" Gu Zheng raised his eyes to look at Qiao Xi and asked casually, "Do you know that the Qiao family wants to marry you to the Zhong family?"

Everyone gasped!

Qiao Xi looked aggrieved. "I just found out too! Because the company needs a sum of money, Qiao Rou suggested marrying me off. My good sister has helped me choose a good marriage partner! President Gu, if I refuse, the Qiao family won't let me off!"

When Old Madam Qiao heard Qiao Xi mention Qiao Rou and blame her sarcastically, her expression instantly changed. "Qiao Xi!"

"The Qiao family wants to sell the Qiao family's legitimate eldest daughter to the Zhong family for an illegitimate daughter." Gu Zheng's tone was cold. "You guys are really capable!"

Qiao Zhenguo's heart trembled. He mustered his courage and asked in confusion, "President Gu… Y-You know my eldest daughter? Why are you asking about her marriage? This child has a bad reputation. It's already the best outcome that Young Master Zhong doesn't care about her past and is willing to marry her. This—"

"President Qiao, don't you understand why I'm here today?" Gu Zheng interrupted.

Qiao Zhenguo felt his entire body turn cold, making him tremble uncontrollably. He thought about it carefully and really did not know what Gu Zheng meant. "President Gu, you're not here today for Moling and Rou Rou…"

"Gu Moling? Is he worthy?"

With that, Gu Zheng looked up with a gentle gaze. "Mrs. Gu, have you had enough fun?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings fell silent.

Mrs. Gu was here too?

Or rather, if Mrs. Gu had always been here, who was she?

Old Madam Qiao did not understand Gu Zheng's words and thought that Qiao Xi had angered Gu Zheng, so she hurriedly explained, "President Gu, you're probably mistaken. Xi Xi's marriage was decided from before, but—"

"Old Madam Qiao, don't you understand human language?"

Qiao Xi had never called Old Madam Qiao her grandmother and had always called her Old Madam Qiao. However, Old Madam Qiao felt alarmed today.

Immediately after, Song Shijing said seriously, "President Qiao, the Qiao family is slapping the Gu family's face by selling the madam of the Gu family to the Zhong family for the sake of company interests."

Boom!!!

Everyone widened their eyes in disbelief. Old Mada Qiao felt the blood in her body freeze as her body instantly stiffened.

Sold who to the Zhong family? The madam of the Gu family?

The person they were selling was clearly Qiao Xi…

Wait! Old Madam Qiao was abruptly stunned. Her eyelids twitched as she looked at Qiao Xi in disbelief.
