1416 Sharing The President’s Concern
“I was injured and disfigured a few years ago. I wear a mask because I’m afraid of scaring others,” the man explained as he looked at Qiao Xi with curved eyes.
Injured and disfigured?
Qiao Xi kept having the feeling that something was wrong. This person was too similar to Gu Zheng. Could it be that Gu Zheng was Twilight?
Qiao Xi stared at him with a burning gaze for a while, then looked away and said indifferently, “I’m sorry for being presumptuous. Mr. Twilight, I’ll get going first.”
!!
As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Xi entered the lounge without waiting for Twilight’s response.
After entering, Qiao Xi was still filled with doubt. Was he really not Gu Zheng? However, this person’s figure and eyes were very similar to Gu Zheng’s. She had been married to Gu Zheng for so long, so how could she not even recognize her husband?
However…
What Qiao Xi did not know was that after she entered the lounge, Twilight took off his mask, and the corners of his mouth curled into a meaningful smile.
A moment later, Gu Zheng pushed the door open and entered. He was still wearing the navy blue suit, and his eyes were gentle with a trace of affection. “Xi Xi, I heard that you’re competing with He Wenxian tomorrow?”
Qiao Xi nestled on the sofa and sized up Gu Zheng with a wanton gaze. She casually pouted aggrievedly. “Ah Zheng, you weren’t by my side just now. The He family joined forces to bully me. Where did you go?”
Gu Zheng lowered his eyes and replied indifferently, “I happened to meet an acquaintance, so we chatted for a while.”
Acquaintance? Did Gu Zheng know anyone here? Why did she feel that Gu Zheng was lying to her?
She raised an eyebrow. “Oh? Which acquaintance? Have I seen them before?”
“Song Zhen, Song Shiyu and Song Shijing’s uncle,” Gu Zheng replied frankly.
Qiao Xi immediately thought for a moment. It seemed that there really was such a person. Moreover, he was a professional in the cultural relics restoration department, so his position was quite high.
However, if Gu Zheng wanted to hide it from her, she would not be able to get anything out of him even if she asked Song Zhen. After all, he was Song Shiyu’s uncle!
Qiao Xi raised her eyes to glance at him and went straight to the point. “Have you heard of Twilight? I think he’s very similar to you, especially his eyes. You both have light brown eyes.”
Gu Zheng quietly took a sip of tea, then looked at her with a smile. “So, Xi Xi, you think I’m Twilight?”
Qiao Xi neither agreed nor disagreed.
“I’m not that powerful.” His voice was gentle, and his laughter was pleasant. “If you don’t believe me, you can check the surveillance cameras. Just now, Song Zhen and I went to his office to chat for 20 minutes. Moreover, there are surveillance cameras in his office. With your methods, it shouldn’t be difficult to check the surveillance cameras.
“It’s easy for you to investigate me. Why would I dare to lie to you?”
Qiao Xi: “…”
She actually had nothing to say. Seeing how confident Gu Zheng was, even if she investigated, she would not be able to find anything. Hence, there was no need.
However, Twilight…
He was wearing a black windbreaker. His figure and eyes were so similar to Gu Zheng’s. Even the expression on his face was exactly the same. Could it be that she had really made a mistake?
Qiao Xi thought for a moment before getting up to go to the surveillance room.
“Young Madam, the president was really with my uncle just now. They just chatted for a while. His feelings for you can be seen by the sun and moon. He definitely won’t do anything to let you down!” Song Shiyu explained in a panic.
Qiao Xi pulled up the surveillance footage from earlier. Gu Zheng had indeed entered the lounge with Song Zhen. If Gu Zheng really wanted to pretend to be Twilight, he had to quickly change his clothes and rush to the scene. Moreover, he needed Song Zhen to cover for him. Time seemed to be a little short.
However, Qiao Xi did not understand why Gu Zheng was hiding the fact that he was Twilight. In any case, she was already starting to suspect something. Why not just tell her? Why was he hiding it?
Qiao Xi looked at Song Shiyu seriously. “Have you seen Twilight?”
Song Shijing was about to answer when he was interrupted by Qiao Xi. “I’m not asking you. I want Song Shiyu to answer.”
Song Shijing was calm and meticulous. There was no point in asking him, so Qiao Xi started with Song Shiyu.
Seeing that Qiao Xi was so serious, Song Shijing did not dare to say anything. He could only blink at Song Shiyu, signaling him not to spout nonsense.
Song Shiyu immediately understood, but he felt inexplicably fl.u.s.tered. Of course, he knew the president’s ident.i.ty and knew that the president wanted to hide it from Young Madam. As the president’s personal a.s.sistant, he had to share the president’s worries and let the president know his loyalty. Perhaps the president would even give him a raise!
In order not to arouse suspicion and take this opportunity to vent his dissatisfaction, Song Shiyu immediately understood and complained loudly, “Of course, I’ve seen him before. Twilight is a petty person. He’s ugly and has a bad character. He even looks down on others and is as proud as a peac.o.c.k!”
