Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself Chapter 1301 - 1301 Don't You Think It's Strange?

Chapter 1301 - 1301 Don’t You Think It’s Strange?

1301 Don’t You Think It’s Strange?

At this moment, He Wenyin and the others had also heard the ins and outs of the matter. Only then did they know that He Wenxian was the one wearing a fake. However, she arrogantly said that Miss Qiao was wearing a fake and even wanted to lend her necklace to her, pretending to be very kind.

Everyone did not say anything, but they had different thoughts in their hearts. They all knew He Wenyin. She had always been pure and naive. She would believe whatever others said. The things she said just now did not sound like her own thoughts. Perhaps someone often said those things in her ear, so she remembered them.

The person who was using He Wenyin was naturally He Wenxian.

He Wenxian pretended to be n.o.ble and kind in front of her sister, but she was secretly embarra.s.sing Mrs. Gu. It turned out that the eldest daughter of the He family was so scheming!

!!

If Miss Qiao were not the chief designer, Gu Shan, and if she did not have Gu Zheng as her backer, what would the outcome be today?

Everyone thought about it carefully, and their eyes were filled with disappointment.

Qiao Xi raised her eyes slightly and looked at He Wenxian, whose face was filled with guilt and sincerity. She chuckled. “Since Miss He has apologized, then let’s forget about this matter.”

He Wenxian instantly heaved a sigh of relief, and the corners of her mouth had just curled into a smile when she heard Qiao Xi say casually, “Perhaps you’ve really forgotten, Miss He. If I don’t forgive you, it’ll make me seem unforgiving.

“Ah Zheng, the He family has always told the public that they’re close to you, but I don’t think Miss He takes you seriously. She can’t even remember who your wife is! Anyway, it’s about time. The auction is about to start. Let’s go to the front hall.”

Gu Zheng’s gaze instantly softened as he smiled and nodded. He held Qiao Xi’s hand and strode away.

Everyone had different expressions. Mrs. Gu’s words reminded everyone that regardless of whether He Wenxian had really forgotten or was pretending, she did not tell them that Qiao Xi was Mrs. Gu. Either the He family did not take Gu Zheng seriously at all, or it meant that He Wenxian had ulterior motives and deliberately wanted Mrs. Gu to make a fool of herself.

No matter what the reason was, the He family had already offended Gu Zheng. Was there a need for them to please a family that was already hated by Gu Zheng?

“Miss He.” Qiao Xi had just walked to the door when she suddenly stopped in her tracks and slowly turned around. “It shouldn’t be a problem for me to donate this necklace now, right?”

He Wenxian’s blood surged. Anger and shame rushed to her head at the same time. She was about to faint from anger, but in front of everyone, she could only squeeze out a smile. “Of course, it’s not a problem.”

This farce finally ended with He Wenxian’s apology. Mrs. Gu had also forgiven He Wenxian, but everyone knew very well that this was just the beginning. He Wenxian naturally would not let the matter rest. From the fact that Miss He deliberately made Mrs. Gu look bad, it could be seen that she was filled with hostility toward Mrs. Gu.

Originally, He Wenxian was a gentle G.o.ddess in everyone’s hearts, but now, her beautiful image seemed to have been tarnished.

After Qiao Xi and Gu Zheng left, Cheng Juan also walked out.

Gu Zheng’s voice was gentle. “Xi Xi, thank Mr. Cheng.”

Qiao Xi smiled. She should indeed thank Cheng Juan, but before she could speak, Gu Zheng stopped in his tracks and turned around slightly. “Mr. Cheng, I heard that you’re always busy. Many n.o.ble families ask you to appraise their jewelry, but you reject them all. Why did you come to the He family’s charity banquet to appraise the jewelry this time? Moreover, you carried a hammer with you. Could it be that you knew that someone would look for you to appraise the jewelry?”

Qiao Xi’s expression changed. It was over! It was over. Would she be discovered?

Gu Zheng glanced indifferently at Cheng Juan and smirked. “Xi Xi, don’t you think it’s strange?”

Qiao Xi panicked and subconsciously glanced at Cheng Juan. That kid had an indifferent expression as if everything had nothing to do with him. It seemed that she could explain it herself.

Actually, Cheng Juan was indeed an orphan who was once sponsored by the He family, but he had a special ident.i.ty. If he did not want to tell others, Qiao Xi naturally would not know about it either.

After a long silence, Qiao Xi braced herself and said, “After all, this is a charity banquet. It’s not strange for someone to donate jewelry, so Mr. Cheng came over to take a look.”

Gu Zheng nodded thoughtfully as if he seemed to believe her words. Then, he asked with a trace of hostility, “Mr. Cheng’s rules aren’t ordinary. Xi Xi, weren’t you afraid that he’d accidentally smash the wrong necklace?”

Cheng Juan frowned.

Qiao Xi: “…”

“Mr. Cheng has never made a mistake in his career. He has been appraising jewelry for so many years. How could he smash the wrong thing? Ah Zheng, you’re really good at joking,” she explained awkwardly.
