Chapter 378 - Mrs. Gu, You Don't Have To Work So Hard In The Future

Hence, the two of them started a scene while over the phone. "Young Madam! The president is already injured. Now that he was beaten up by the chairman, his injuries are even more serious. Moreover, the chairman won't let the president off. Quickly come and see him!"

Immediately after, everyone saw Qiao Xi's body go weak. She almost fell to the ground, and surging tears flowed from her eyes.

She shed tears aggrievedly and rushed over as if she was going to die. It was as if she was going to see her husband for the last time.

At this moment, a group of businessmen was gathered in the living room to discuss business with the Gu family. When they heard Qiao Xi's cries, they could not help but be surprised. "Did I hear wrongly? Chairman Gu asked President Gu to give that plot of land to Lu Yan?"

"Everyone knows that if we give up this plot of land, all of Gu Corporation's previous investments will be in vain. As the president of Gu Corporation, of course, President Gu wouldn't do anything to harm the company's interests1"

"President Gu is unwilling to yield, so Chairman Gu hit him? This… Isn't this too much?! President Gu IS the one who built the Gu family's glory today. Apart from this old residence, everything in the Gu family belongs to President Gu!"

Everyone lowered their eyes and remained silent, their hearts stirring.

…

Qiao Xi rushed into the courtyard and went straight to Gu Zheng's room. She pushed the door open and cried.

"Hubby! How are you feeling? It's all my fault! I should have been by your side. How could I let you suffer such a vicious beating alone? Does it hurt? Boo-hoo…"

Gu Zheng had just laid down when Qiao Xi pushed the door open and rushed in, causing him to cough a few times.

Although Qiao Xi was pretending, she was still sad to see Gu Zheng hurt. "You're bleeding. It must be very painful! Song Shijing, quickly apply medicine to Ah Zheng's wound! Boo-hoo…"

Song Shijing: "…"

The corners of Gu Zheng's mouth twitched. "Stop crying."

Liang Pingchuan was right. Little Six was a natural-born actress. She could not control her desire to perform when she had the chance. He had only suffered a small injury. Why did Qiao Xi's tears make him seem like he was about to die?

Qiao Xi looked up with tears in her eyes. "Hubby, my heart aches for you~"

Gu Zheng closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "Mrs. Gu, if I were really seriously injured, I might've vomited blood from your collision just now!"

Qiao Xi was silent for a moment, then suddenly nodded. "You're right! Vomiting blood would have a better impact!"

Gu Zheng: "…" Sigh! Mrs. Gu had gone mad.

After crying, Qiao Xi said aggrievedly, "Ah Zheng, I heard that you were injured, so I immediately rushed over. Look at how much I care about you!"

Gu Zheng replied casually, "Yes."

"I was crying while running just now and almost fell. I'm so tired!"

Gu Zheng said coldly, "It's only about ten minutes from the Gu family's living room to this room. Could it be that you've been crying the entire time?"

Qiao Xi instantly choked as her face turned red. "I was just worried about you! I cried while running and ended up getting lost, so I was delayed on the way here. I was so tired that I couldn't breathe!"

Gu Zheng lay on the bed and said casually, "If you had come a little later, my wound would've already healed. Mrs. Gu, you don't have to work so hard and put on performances like this in the future."

Qiao Xi pouted and quickly changed the topic. "Ah Zheng, are you still in pain?"

Gu Zheng glanced at her indifferently. "What do you think, Mrs. Gu? Let me remind you that my chest and back are injured. If you don't want to expose me, please get up from my body, okay?"

Qiao Xi smiled in embarrassment. She almost forgot that Gu Zheng was pretending to be injured, so she quickly got up from his body and touched his strong chest.

Gu Zheng took a deep breath and closed his eyes, ignoring her.

After a while, footsteps came from outside.

Qiao Xi's eyes darkened. The only people who would come to Gu Zheng's room were probably people from the Gu family or the Gu family's distinguished guests.

Earlier, when she was in the hall, she did not see Madam Gu or the Lu family. Hence, Qiao Xi guessed that Huang Lilan was with the Lu family. The footsteps outside probably belonged to them.

At this moment, the door was pushed open.. Lu Yan and Shen Ying were behind Madam Gu.
