1531 Bad News
At this banquet, Old Madam Gu wanted to tell everyone that Gu Yao had her and Gu Zheng behind him. If anyone dared to question Gu Yao’s ident.i.ty, they would be going against her and Gu Zheng.
Qiao Xi took the invitation and called Old Madam Gu.
When Qiao Xi was about to sleep, Gu Zheng had not returned home. When she woke up the next day, Qiao Xi realized that her side was also cold. There were no traces of him sleeping there.
After washing up, she went downstairs and found Gu Zheng sitting on the sofa. He was staring at the doc.u.ment in his hand with a serious expression. He slammed the doc.u.ment on the coffee table. “Remake it.”
!!
Song Shijing did not even dare to breathe loudly. Yesterday, there was a problem with Gu Corporation’s project. All the higher-ups had an emergency meeting that ended at six in the morning. Moreover, they had to face even more troublesome problems today. The employees could sense the coldness around the president. Everyone was careful, afraid that they would anger him.
On the way back, the president slept for a while. After entering, Song Shijing could still feel the low pressure on the president, making him jump.
Just as he was on the brink of tears, footsteps came from behind.
Song Shijing looked up in surprise. The moment he saw Qiao Xi, it was as if he had seen his savior. Her body was glowing with golden light.
Young Madam! Young Madam had finally appeared!
No matter how angry and frustrated the president was, as long as Young Madam appeared, he would definitely become gentle.
Qiao Xi: “???”
Was there something on her face? Why was Song Shijing looking at her like that?
Gu Zheng also saw her. The low pressure on his body instantly dissipated, and his tightly furrowed brows relaxed. His voice was extremely gentle. “Xi Xi, have you received Grandma’s invitation?”
“Yes, I’ve already told Grandma that I’ll be there on time. The banquet this time should be very large, right?” Qiao Xi went downstairs and sat beside Gu Zheng, lazily leaning on his shoulder.
Gu Zheng reached out his arm and hugged her gently. His slightly cold thin lips kissed her forehead as he said softly, “The n.o.ble families of Li City have all been invited, but not the Kang family.”
The things the Kang family had done in Li City these past few days had already spread online, but Old Madam Gu only woke up for a short period of time every day. The people around her probably would not talk about these things in her ears, so Qiao Xi was a little surprised that Old Madam Gu did not invite the Kang family.
However, even if Old Madam Gu really invited them, Gu Yao would probably stop her.
Gu Zheng’s vision was a little blurry, and he could not help but frown. Song Shijing said quickly, “President, it’s still early. You can sleep for a while.”
Gu Zheng ignored him and lowered his eyes to look at Qiao Xi. “Aren’t you curious about what I’ve been busy with recently?”
“If you want to tell me, then tell me. If you don’t want to, I won’t force you.”
Gu Zheng suddenly smiled, and his chest trembled slightly. He pinched Qiao Xi’s face and said in an extremely gentle voice, “Xi Xi, there are some things I can’t tell you yet. You’ll know after this matter is over.”
With that, Gu Zheng went upstairs to rest. Qiao Xi logged into Black Tide’s account and investigated Gu Corporation, but she found nothing. She looked at Song Shijing.
Song Shijing took a few steps back and looked helpless. “Young Madam, don’t make things difficult for me. I really can’t say anything.”
Qiao Xi had an indifferent expression. It was fine if they did not want to say it. She did not have to know. She was just a little curious about what could make Gu Zheng so vigilant and not even come back for the entire night. Who had the ability to make Gu Zheng nervous?
Speaking of which, Huo Yuzhou had recently come to Li City. However, with Huo Yuzhou’s character and ability, he probably would not play dirty tricks, right?
For the entire day, Qiao Xi was not interested in doing anything. Her mind was filled with thoughts about Gu Corporation.
In the study.
Qiao Xi leaned against the sofa and wrote down a perfume recipe. After Gu Zheng woke up, he dealt with official matters in the study with a frown.
After a while, Song Shijing rushed in with a gloomy expression. “President, something happened.”
“What’s wrong?” Gu Zheng looked up slightly and pursed his thin lips.
Song Shijing said quickly, “Half an hour ago, the old madam got into a car accident—”
Gu Zheng’s expression instantly turned cold, and Qiao Xi’s heart trembled.
Before Song Shijing could finish, Gu Zheng stood up abruptly. He was a little fl.u.s.tered and said with a pale face, “To the hospital.”
“Old Madam is in Mr. Ye’s hospital, but she’s not injured,” Song Shijing added. His expression was a little strange, and he hesitated.
Qiao Xi had never seen Gu Zheng so fl.u.s.tered. Fortunately, Old Madam Gu was fine.
Gu Zheng stopped in his tracks in a panic and looked at Song Shijing. “Get straight to the point.”
