Chapter 1179: Dreamed Back To When I Was 16
Ji Nan was about to leave when Lu Bai hurriedly stopped him. “Ji Nan!”
Lu Bai looked at the a.s.sistant who had accompanied him for two years. His eyes were filled with unfamiliarity as he asked in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “W-Who do you work for?”
In the past two years, he had never mistreated Ji Nan. He had given him enough money. There was no reason for Ji Nan to betray him, so there was only one reason. It meant that it had been a conspiracy since Ji Nan joined the Lu family. For the past two years, he had been pretending to be his a.s.sistant.
Lu Bai did not expect that Gu Zheng had already planted someone around him two years ago.
Ji Nan was silent for a while before glancing at Lu Bai. “You’re wrong. I’m not on Mr. Gu’s side.”
Lu Bai’s voice trembled slightly. “Then who are you working for?”
“I can tell you that I wasn’t Mr. Gu’s man before. I only became one of his men half a year ago,” Ji Nan said meaningfully with a mocking smile in his eyes.
Lu Bai looked confused. He only became one of Gu Zheng’s men half a year ago?
He pondered for a moment before an idea suddenly appeared in his mind. Half a year ago, Gu Zheng and Qiao Xi got married. It was also around that time Ji Nan became Gu Zheng’s subordinate. Could it be that this matter was related to Gu Zheng’s marriage? In other words, Ji Nan was Qiao Xi’s subordinate?
Impossible! Qiao Xi was just a wild girl who had been wandering outside. How could she have a capable subordinate like Ji Nan?
Before he could think clearly, Ji Nan stood up and left the main residence. From now on, the Lu family would be drowning in pain and torture every day. Lu Bai was no longer the high and mighty head of the Lu family, and Lu Xiang was no longer the pampered daughter of the Lu family. Lu Yan’s outcome was even more miserable. It was already a miracle that he could survive.
…
After returning to Longwan Residential, Qiao Xi received Ji Nan’s message. The current Lu family no longer had the ability to turn the tables. Gu Zheng did not want to waste time on this group of people, but Qiao Xi was very happy to see the Lu family struggling in pain.
Lu Yan’s reputation was completely ruined, and Lu Bai also lost his position as the head of the family. However, Lu Xiang still had a certain amount of power in upper cla.s.s society. After all, the Lu family had a place in the upper cla.s.s society of Li City in the past. She had always been popular with many n.o.blewomen.
Now that the rest of the Lu family had been punished but Lu Xiang was not too badly affected, of course, Qiao Xi could not let this be.
“Ah Zheng, if I attack the Lu family again, will you think that I’m vicious?” Qiao Xi probed.
Gu Zheng raised his eyes slightly and smiled. “Mrs. Gu, you’re so cute. How can I think that you’re vicious? Besides, they don’t deserve sympathy.”
Song Shiyu: “…”
The president was showing off his love all the time!
Qiao Xi nodded. The Lu family had done so many bad things that left a trauma in Gu Zheng’s childhood. They even tried to kill Gu Zheng. They were indeed not worthy of sympathy. They brought this upon themselves.
Qiao Xi’s eyes narrowed as she leaned into Gu Zheng’s arms and smiled.
Gu Zheng gently stroked the top of her head. “Xi Xi, you look so beautiful when you smile.”
…
In the dead of the night, Gu Zheng finished his work and gently pushed open the door to the bedroom. At this moment, Qiao Xi was curled up by the bed with a frown.
Gu Zheng walked into the dim room. His vision was blurry, but he could walk to the bed out of habit. He gently stroked Qiao Xi’s eyebrows and realized that she was frowning.
He rarely saw Qiao Xi with a worried expression. At this moment, she was curled up as if she was having a nightmare.
Gu Zheng lay by the bed, his slender fingers gently smoothing the s.p.a.ce between her eyebrows. He gently pulled her into his arms before closing his eyes.
Old Master Lu’s words still echoed in her ears. The miracle doctor, Qiao Xi, and his mother seemed to be related to everything. Could it be that his poison was really incurable?
Gu Zheng gradually fell asleep. In his dream, he returned to being 16 years old. At that time, his eyes were already filled with coldness and paranoia, and his entire body exuded an aura that kept people away.
As a top hacker, he had repeatedly refused to attend all those gatherings, but that time, he went. As expected, no one was willing to pay attention to a cold and fierce-looking young man. He was dressed in black, and his drooping hair slightly covered his eyes as he looked coldly at the people around him.
He was unwilling to talk with anyone. He just sat in a corner with a laptop to deal with orders. The next second, a childish voice sounded behind him.
“There’s something wrong here. You should try another approach.”
The person who spoke was a little girl. She was only about 10 years old. Her voice was soft, but her tone was very certain.
