1637 There Are Gains And Losses
“Gu Zheng!”
Qiao Xi casually tossed the phone aside and rushed into the man’s arms.
Gu Zheng pulled her into his arms and gently planted a kiss on her forehead. His voice was hoa.r.s.e and gentle. “Xi Xi, I’m sorry.”
Was it enough to just say that he was sorry? He hid such a big matter from her and had made his own decision. Did he treat her as his wife?
!!
“Didn’t you say you’d be back in a week?”
“I was afraid that you would be worried, so I came back early.” Gu Zheng’s eyes were filled with gentleness. His light brown eyes were as bright as stars as he hugged the woman in his arms tightly.
“I’ve already gotten out. As for the rest, we’ll just wait and see.”
“Wait and see?” Qiao Xi was a little depressed. “Gu Corporation’s shares have plummeted, and the internet is filled with curses. Aren’t you worried?”
Gu Zheng did not tell the higher-ups of the company about his plan. Of course, it would bring huge losses to Gu Corporation. If he did not show his face for a long time, someone would definitely have crooked thoughts.
“No rush, let’s continue waiting,” Gu Zheng said indifferently.
There were gains and losses. Since he wanted to scheme against He Weinian, he could not be too hasty. He had to wait for him to take the bait.
The next day.
Just as Qiao Xi had guessed, He Weinian and the Gu family had started taking action.
Old Master Gu directly announced that he would expel Gu Zheng from the Gu family. Gu Weiming also announced that he would cut off all ties with Gu Zheng. The two of them still remembered the video of them angrily criticizing Gu Zheng at the reception being spread online. At this moment, in everyone’s eyes, Gu Zheng was the thief of Scorching Heart.
Those who originally believed in Gu Zheng could not help but waver. After all, the two heads of the Gu family had both stood up to cut ties with him. That meant that the police already had enough evidence. Moreover, it had been so many days but Gu Zheng had not appeared. The two a.s.sistants beside him had not released a statement either.
Qiao Xi looked at the video online and asked softly, “You don’t want me to prove your innocence, so what’s your plan?”
Gu Zheng chuckled and said, “Mrs. Gu, you should know that the necklace found in Longwan Residential is a fake. The police will prove to me that I didn’t steal the real Scorching Heart. As for why that fake appeared in Longwan Residential, someone must have deliberately framed me!”
Qiao Xi instantly understood. “No wonder you asked He Tingchen”
He Tingchen went to Longwan Residential, and such a thing happened right on the heels of that. Of course, he could not escape responsibility!
Qiao Xi raised her eyes to look at Gu Zheng. The corners of his mouth curled into a satisfied smile as if he felt that his plan was perfect. In terms of power and strategy, He Weinian was not his match.
In the afternoon, He Weinian also held a press conference.
He Weinian apologized sincerely at the press conference. “I’m very sorry, everyone. I didn’t expect Ah Zheng to do this either. He has been learning from me since he was ten years old. He was once my proudest student. He’s indeed very outstanding. He founded Gu Corporation and has his current achievements, so I trusted him very much. I told him the place where Scorching Heart was stored and asked him to help me take care of it. I originally wanted to find a suitable buyer and donate it to the mountains after getting 300 million, but he actually
“It’s my negligence that he became like this today. Ah Zheng has already paid the price. I hope everyone can give him a chance to change.”
Everyone’s hearts ached when they heard He Weinian’s words.
All these years, He Weinian had been devoting himself to charity. Every year, he would donate a large sum of money and even spend a lot of effort to hold a charity banquet. He had already done enough. Now that Gu Zheng had made a mistake, he still had to take the initiative to take responsibility.
“Chairman He, you can’t be blamed for this! Some people are born to be bad. No matter how you teach them, it’s useless!”
“That’s right! We can’t blame the teachers for all the students’ mistakes. Moreover, we all know how many good deeds you’ve done all these years!”
He Weinian listened to everyone’s words, and a trace of pride flashed past his eyes. However, his face was still filled with sorrow and helplessness. “In the end, it was my negligence that caused Scorching Heart to be stolen, so I’ve decided to donate 300 million to the mountain area in my own name, even if the necklace”
Before he could finish speaking, a commotion came from the door. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and could not help but exclaim, “Qiao Xi!”
Although not everyone in Li City knew that Qiao Xi was Gu Zheng’s wife, as reporters, they were well-informed and naturally knew her ident.i.ty.
Gu Zheng’s wife actually came over at this time. Was she here to cause trouble or to clarify things for Gu Zheng?
In an instant, the reporters swarmed over and surrounded Qiao Xi, wanting to obtain first-hand news.
