Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself Chapter 1340 Don't Be Too Happy

Chapter 1340 Don’t Be Too Happy

Madam Tan took a few steps forward, and the a.s.sistant hurriedly handed the phone to her. She hesitated for a few seconds, but in the end, she took the phone with a gloomy expression and put it to her ear.

Qiao Xi, who had walked to the door, turned around slightly and saw Madam Tan's face getting darker and darker. However, Madam Tan immediately suppressed her anger and said obsequiously, "You're thinking too much. This is just a small matter. I'll handle it well. I won't tarnish the Brook family's reputation."

The other party seemed to be very dissatisfied. Madam Tan had to coax them in a low voice. After hanging up, anger instantly surged to the top of her head as she slammed the phone on the floor.

The surrounding people were so scared that their bodies trembled. They all lowered their heads and did not dare to make a sound.

Qiao Xi was not in a rush to leave. Instead, she turned around and glanced at Madam Tan with a smile.

Madam Tan's eyes were cold. "Miss Qiao, don't be happy too soon. There's still time. Until the last moment, we'll never know who the final winner is."

Qiao Xi smiled lightly. "I think it's safe to say that I'll be the final winner."

"Heh! Alright! We'll see!" With that, Madam Tan glanced coldly at Gu Zheng before leaving angrily with the bodyguards. Xia Mengyan, who was about to break down and roar, was taken away as well.

Qiao Xi looked coldly at the Xia family. Xia Cheng and Ai Sumei were sitting on the floor in a sorry state. Xia Ji and Xia Lan were leaning against each other, but their eyes were empty and their faces were dispirited.

She frowned and asked, "Where's Madam Su Nian?"

Then, she fell into deep thought. Since Su Nian had already provided the video, she would definitely not return to the Xia family. After all, the Xia family would not let Su Nian off easily.

Xia Cheng looked fiercely at Qiao Xi's and Gu Zheng's backs, his heart filled with anger and unwillingness. Could it be that the Xia family was completely doomed?

He really did not understand. Although the Xia family was not strong, they were still a n.o.ble family in Shengdu. He had been in high society for so many years. How did he end up like this overnight?

What puzzled him even more was that he and the Brook family had joined forces to deal with Gu Zheng. Even if Gu Zheng had already made arrangements, how could he have expected the Brook family to be present? How did he quickly escape the interception of the two families?

There was only one possibility—the Yin family was involved!

Xia Cheng felt a dull pain in his chest and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. It was the Yin family…

Yin Lianxin had stepped down from managing the family a few years ago. She only drank tea and planted flowers now. She lived a comfortable life in retirement, so the only person who could help Gu Zheng was Yin Yunyi!

Xia Cheng's heart ached even more. He even felt that it was very laughable. It turned out that the person who caused the downfall of the Xia family was actually his biological son. His son had helped Gu Zheng and Qiao Xi destroy his life's hard work.

On the other hand, Qiao Xi had just walked out of the Xia family when she saw Gu Yao and Yin Jingting at the door.

Gu Yao quickly walked forward and asked anxiously, "Is everything settled? Before you came out, Madam Tan was angry and brought Xia Mengyan into the car. She even glared at me fiercely, scaring me so much that my heart thumped. She looks like a tigress. Her a.s.sistant seemed to want to say something, but he didn't say anything after seeing Young Master Yin."

Qiao Xi could not help but look at Yin Jingting.

Yin Jingting was silent for a few seconds before asking softly, "Xi Xi, do you know Madam Tan?"

"We just met today," Qiao Xi replied.

Yin Jingting said thoughtfully, "Looks like Xia Mengyan shot herself in the foot. Actually, the Brook family has a very good reputation in Y Nation. Every n.o.ble cherishes their reputation very much. They don't want their reputations to be ruined. I reckon Madam Tan will be punished by the family when she returns to the country. This is probably where her ill intentions toward you came from. However, you'd better be careful. I don't think she'll let the matter rest."

Was that all?

Qiao Xi pursed her lips, and Yin Jingting continued, "Young Master Tan has a great reputation. Previously, Madam Tan had also tried to s.n.a.t.c.h women by force. However, this is the first time she came to Li City from Y Nation to s.n.a.t.c.h someone. Perhaps it's just because Young Master Tan really likes you."

"Just because Tan Yu likes me?" Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows, and dense disgust appeared in her eyes. It was really unlucky to be liked by such a man.please visit ?rℯℯ??????e?.c?m.

Yin Jingting replied, "I'm not sure yet, but it's not a good thing that you've offended the Brook family. You should be more vigilant."

Qiao Xi nodded and frowned slightly. The Brook family had nothing to do with Gu Zheng and her. It was the first time they met. They probably did not have any grudges against each other, so was it really just because Young Master Tan liked her?
