Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself Chapter 1543 - 1543 The Same Method

Chapter 1543 - 1543 The Same Method

1543 The Same Method

Previously, Old Madam Yin thought that Gu Yao looked familiar. Gu Zheng investigated for a long time and found a secret. The Xu family had previously adopted a child, and that child was Gu Yao. After that, for some reason, Gu Yao came to Huang Lilan’s side.

Xu Zhi said sincerely, “President Gu, I’ve told you everything I know. I only happened to hear about Young Master Gu Yao.”

Gu Zheng nodded. “Song s.h.i.+jing, send Mr. Xu out.”

Xu Zhi felt relieved. Just as he stood up and was about to leave, Gu Zheng’s cold voice came from behind. “I don’t want others to know about my conversation with you today. You’re a smart person and should know what to do.”

“Of course! I know!” Xu Zhi quickly said.

This matter concerned the two most important people in Gu Zheng’s life. If Xu Zhi told everyone about Qiao Xi and Gu Yao, wouldn’t he have a death wish?

After Xu Zhi left with Song s.h.i.+jing, his heart gradually calmed down. He could not help but think about what Xu Ling and Xu Anran had done. Xu Ling was the daughter of the head of the family and had nothing to do with Qiao Xi. There was no need to target Qiao Xi. Did Kang Qingzhi ask Xu Ling to say those words?

If Kang Qingzhi had long used Anran to deal with Xi Xi, then she should have known Xi Xi’s true ident.i.ty long ago and wanted to use Anran to get rid of her.

If Xi Xi had really died, the Kang family would never have known about their biological daughter. Kang Qingzhi would be the only daughter of the Kang family. Most importantly, no one would suspect Kang Qingzhi.

But Gu Yao…

Xu Zhi wanted to remind the head of the family about Gu Yao, but he suddenly recalled Gu Zheng’s warning and gave up in the end. Since he had promised Gu Zheng not to spread the news, he would not say a word and pretend not to know anything to avoid attracting trouble for himself.

In the Gu family’s backyard.

Qiao Xi sat on the rocking chair in the courtyard and looked at the door in confusion. Why was Gu Zheng not in yet?

On the surface, it was Grandma Gu’s banquet today, but everyone knew very well that the main character of this banquet was Gu Yao. Today, Grandma Gu wanted to force Gu Weiming to transfer the shares and inheritance to Gu Yao. Gu Weiming was only 50 years old, yet he was forced to hand over his real power. He would definitely not be willing. They did not know how Gu Weiming would react if he found out about this.

“Sister Xi Xi.” Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind. Qiao Xi frowned and felt a little uncomfortable.

She ignored her, but Kang Qingzhi walked in front of her, her face filled with helplessness and difficulty. “Sister Xi Xi, there are some misunderstandings between us. It’s normal for you to hate me, but today is Grandma Gu’s banquet. For Grandma Gu’s sake, forgive me for a day. Don’t make things difficult for Grandma Gu because of us, okay?”

Qiao Xi glanced at her coldly. Where did she get the cheek to call her Grandma Gu?

Kang Qingzhi did not come to look for her to sincerely beg for forgiveness. Instead, she wanted to show her weakness and make others sympathize with her. Secondly, she wanted to provoke Qiao Xi. Kang Qingzhi had clearly framed her in the perfume compet.i.tion, but she was still invited to the Gu family’s banquet. To outsiders, Old Madam Gu did not care about Qiao Xi, her granddaughter-in-law, at all. Not only was Kang Qingzhi valued by Old Madam Gu, but she was also thinking for Old Madam Gu’s sake, afraid that Old Madam Gu would be in a difficult position between them.

She was clearly just an outsider, yet Kang Qingzhi wanted to appear understanding in front of Qiao Xi, Old Madam Gu’s granddaughter-in-law. Wasn’t this a provocation?

Qiao Xi knew very well in her heart that everything Kang Qingzhi did was to anger her. It would be best if she could not suppress her anger and caused a scene at the banquet, disappointing Grandma Gu. That way, Kang Qingzhi could slowly sow discord between her and Grandma Gu.

This was Kang Qingzhi’s usual method. Back in the Kang family, she used this method to drive a wedge between her and Kang Jichuan.

Qiao Xi slowly raised her eyes and sneered. “Kang Qingzhi, how many times do you have to use the same method on me? Don’t you find it boring?”

Kang Qingzhi’s pupils constricted abruptly, and her eyes were filled with resentment. “You’ve actually recovered your memory!”

Kang Qingzhi had always suspected that Qiao Xi had recovered her memory because she could sense the hostility Qiao Xi emitted. However, it did not matter even if she had recovered her memory. Qiao Xi did not have any evidence of what had happened five years ago.

Five years ago, she sowed discord between Qiao Xi and Kang Jichuan and made Kang Jichuan sacrifice Qiao Xi in order to save her. Now, she could use the same method to gradually make the Gu family hate Qiao Xi.

Everyone in the Kang family valued her. She was just an adopted daughter, but she could receive everyone’s love. She had already succeeded, so her next target was the Gu family.
