Chapter 149 - Seeking Justice

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The environment she grew up in was different. She did not know what love was. She was a little confused when she saw Qiao Rou distorting the truth in order to get Gu Moling. Then, she saw Meng Wan destroying the banquet to frame her. This time, Shen Ying did not hesitate to hurt herself to get Gu Zheng. Hence, she was confused by all this.

If love was obtained by hurting oneself, she would rather never have love. However, Gu Zheng told her that this was not the case. When one truly loved someone, they had to protect themselves.

Gu Zheng could not see his surroundings and could only sense Qiao Xi’s body temperature. “So in the future, you must protect yourself and not be injured.”

Qiao Xi instinctively said, “No one can hurt me. I’m super powerful.”

The dark room was silent for a while. Gu Zheng chuckled and tightened his grip on Qiao Xi’s waist. “Right, you’re the most powerful.”

With that, Gu Zheng’s hand on her waist slid down to hold her hand. “It’s getting late. I’ll bring you out.”

Qiao Xi reckoned that the poison in Shen Ying’s body was about to take effect, so she nodded and left with Gu Zheng. The group of people outside the dark room were silent like cicadas in the winter. They did not dare to stop Gu Zheng from personally coming to get Qiao Xi.

Although Madam Gu had said that she would lock Qiao Xi up for a day, Gu Zheng was the head of the Gu family and their true master. Between Gu Zheng and Madam Gu, they naturally had to listen to Gu Zheng.

Gu Zheng lowered his head to look at her. “Are you going to look for Shen Ying with me, or are you going back to rest first? I can go alone.”

Qiao Xi raised her head to look at him.

“I’m going to seek justice for you.”

Song Shiyu was standing at the side with a pile of documents. After hearing Gu Zheng’s words, he said, “President Gu, I’ve already gathered the evidence you wanted.”

Gu Zheng sneered. “Then let’s go.”

…

Shen Ying’s head was wrapped in a thick layer of bandages, and one could vaguely see the blood seeping through. Her forehead received a heavy blow, and the wound caused her to cry. Madam Gu frowned. “The doctor said that you have to take good care of the wound on your forehead. You’ll recover if you take good care of it.”

What she meant was that the wound on her forehead might leave a scar! When Madam Wang and Shen Ying heard the news, their expressions changed instantly. Shen Ying widened her eyes in disbelief.

What? Why would she be disfigured? She just wanted to teach Qiao Xi a lesson, but she never thought that she would be disfigured!

Shen Ying was so angry that her entire body was trembling. Qiao Xi, that b*tch! If Qiao Xi did not snatch Brother Gu Zheng away, she would not have deliberately hurt herself! It was all Qiao Xi’s fault!

Madam Wang cried out in sorrow, “Qiao Xi! Damn that Qiao Xi! She’s forcing Shen Ying to her death! Which girl doesn’t want to be beautiful? Qiao Xi actually wanted to ruin Shen Ying’s face because she’s jealous of Shen Ying. How can there be such a vicious woman?!”

Shen Ying quickly composed herself. Now that she was already disfigured, she had to make Qiao Xi pay the price. She could not take this lying down!

“Aunt, I’m fine. I don’t care if I’m disfigured or not. It’s good enough that I’m still alive. It’s really good…”

When Madam Gu saw that Shen Ying was so sensible and was much better than that arrogant woman, Qiao Xi, she was aggrieved. “Shen Ying, don’t worry. I’ll definitely give you an explanation for this matter. Qiao Xi deliberately caused you to be disfigured. I’ll definitely make her pay you back a hundred or a thousand times more!”

Madam Wang’s eyes shifted as she hurriedly wiped her tears and advised, “Madam Gu, please don’t be like this. Gu Zheng is so protective of Qiao Xi. If he finds out that you’re deliberately targeting Qiao Xi for Shen Ying, he’ll definitely be very angry…”

After a pause, she sighed. “Of course, I’m not saying that we’re afraid of Gu Zheng. It’s just that Gu Zheng is no longer the Gu Zheng from back then. We can’t afford to offend him.”

Madam Gu narrowed her eyes as her anger skyrocketed. Now, even outsiders knew that she could not control Gu Zheng! How could the headstrong Madam Gu accept this?

Ever since Gu Zheng married Qiao Xi, Gu Zheng no longer took her seriously. The two of them had just gotten married. After a period of time and with Qiao Xi’s continuous urging, would Madam Gu still have a place in the family?

She had to teach Qiao Xi a lesson and let her know who in the Gu family called the shots!

At the thought of this, she suddenly slammed the table. “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely not let Qiao Xi off this time! Shen Ying, since you’ve woken up, we’ll go to the dark room and punish that b*tch, Qiao Xi!”

Shen Ying could not help but feel proud of herself, but she still pretended to gently persuade Madam Gu. “Madam Gu, although Miss Qiao pushed me, she definitely didn’t do it on purpose.. Let’s not take such harsh actions…”
