Interrogation

Song Shiyu raised an eyebrow. "Miss Wen, you have bad hearing. I'll repeat myself. You and dogs… are not allowed in!"1

At these words, Wen Xi took a few steps back in disbelief. Her face was livid. She did not hear it clearly just now, but Song Shiyu's words lingered in her ears this time and she could not ignore them.

Gu Zheng's eyes darkened as they landed on the grayish-blue windbreaker. "Pack it up."

After that, he held Qiao Xi's hand and left. Qiao Xi looked at the man in front of her with a smile and suddenly felt a wave of warmth in her hand.

Qiao Xi lowered her eyes to look down. Gu Zheng had stuffed a piece of transparent jade into her hands. Even though she did not know anything about jade, she knew that this piece of jade was definitely not cheap. She seemed to have seen it at an auction before.

At that time, someone had bid 100 million for this jade.

"Jade?"

"It's for you."

Gu Zheng held her hand with a gentle expression. "I'll send this jade to be polished and set in a few days. I'll make it into a pendant for you to wear."

Qiao Xi was stunned for a few seconds before she said helplessly, "This jade is priceless, so it's better to just keep it like this. Won't it be too ostentatious to wear it around my neck every day?"

Gu Zheng raised an eyebrow. "Ostentatious?"

Qiao Xi nodded. Could it be that it was wrong?

Gu Zheng said generously, "We have four similar jades at home. Use this as a pendant. You can keep the rest for collection or have them be made into rings and earrings. Don't think they're ostentatious. You're Mrs. Gu, so no one will gossip."

What? A few years ago, this piece of jade was auctioned for a sky-high price of 100 million yuan. Such quality could be said to be rare and would not even appear in ten years. However, Gu Zheng actually said that there were still a few pieces at home?

Qiao Xi was instantly slightly puzzled. She seemed to have underestimated Gu Zheng's wealth. It seemed that it was even more formidable than she had imagined.

Gu Zheng's voice was low. "Do you know the name of this jade?"

Qiao Xi nodded her head and said slowly, "This jade is shaped like a heart, and its color is clear. It's like the heart of a pure young woman, so the person who first found this jade named it 'The Heart of a Young Woman.'

Gu Zheng paused for a few seconds, his voice hoarse with deep affection. "Ten years ago, I saw this jade at an auction. It suited my taste, so I bought it."

Ten years ago?

At that time, she was chased out of the Qiao family and led a wandering life in the countryside. That was how she got to know her senior.

Gu Zheng's eyes lit up slightly. "When I bought this jade, I thought that one day, I would give it to the woman I love the most. If I couldn't find that person, I would give it to you. Now, you've become the person I love most. Hence, this jade is destined to be yours."

Qiao Xi was touched, and her eyes turned red.

It turned out that Gu Zheng had already prepared such a precious gift for her ten years ago. It was a hundred million yuan piece of jade!

She held the jade tightly in her hand and treated it as a treasure. She wrapped her other hand around Gu Zheng's waist and leaned into his embrace obediently.

For a while, Qiao Xi did not know what to say to express her gratitude. Gu Zheng waited for her to speak for a long time. Just as he was about to ask, Qiao Xi suddenly started interrogating.

"You said that I'm the person you love the most, but why did you wait until today to give this jade to me? Could it be that the person you loved the most before this wasn't me?"

Gu Zheng: "…"

The touching atmosphere instantly vanished.

Song Shiyu was shocked. The president was doomed!

"Let's continue shopping."

…

At the Jade Pavilion in the middle of Li City.

This shop was called Jade Pavilion. As the name suggested, it sold all kinds of jade pieces for distinguished customers.

There was an antique-looking courtyard with a small bridge and flowing water. It looked like one had returned to ancient times when one stepped in. It was like a rich businessman's house in a TV show. One could not tell that this was a jade shop at all.

At this moment, Xu Anran was entering with a group of friends. When she saw Wen Xi walking over angrily, she said gently, "Xi'er, what's wrong?"

Wen Xi's face was filled with anger. "Cousin, it's all because of that adopted sister of yours. She's too arrogant!"

A trace of viciousness flashed past Xu Anran's eyes. Then, she shifted her eyes and pretended to be surprised. "Xi Xi? She bullied you?"

"That b*tch spent the Xu family's money and still dares to snatch things from me. Cousin, she even ordered people not to let me enter that shop. She's just an adopted daughter. How dare she bully me?!"
