Huang Lilan was so angry that she gritted her teeth. “Ah Zheng, would your uncle lie?
“There’s no evidence now, so, of course, you guys can say whatever you want!”
“Madam Gu, I’m the one who hit your younger brother.” Gu Zheng’s voice was cold, and his tone was flat. His gaze swept over Huang Wei like he was looking at trash.
Qiao Xi was stunned for a few seconds. Why did Gu Zheng say that he was the one who hit Huang Wei? She was the one who beat him up!
Initially, she did not want to refute, because she had indeed made a move on Huang Wei. Even so, Huang Wei only suffered some superficial injuries. Even if she had to take
responsibility, she only had to compensate for the medical fees, which was a small amount.”
Qiao Xi looked at Gu Zheng worriedly. She moved closer and heard—
‘Everyone from the Gu family is here. If they know that she hit someone, I don’t know what ugly words they’ll say.
‘And if this matter gets out, how is Mrs. Gu going to act weak in the future?’
Qiao Xi was instantly speechless: “…”
‘Actually, Mrs. Gu is quite cute when she pretends to be weak. Moreover, she seems very happy pretending to be weak. As long as she likes it, I’m willing to cooperate with
her.’
Qiao Xi knew that with Gu Zheng’s intelligence and wisdom, he had definitely seen through her long ago. Her image of a weak and delicate woman had long collapsed, but
she did not expect that her senior would actually indulge her and allow her to continue pretending. He even enjoyed it.
Then…
‘I can’t let grandma know that Qiao Xi is pretending to be weak, otherwise…’
What? Qiao Xi hurriedly moved closer.
‘If Grandma finds out that Qiao Xi is as fierce as her, how can I have a good life in the future?”
Qiao Xi widened her eyes and lowered her voice. “Gu Zheng, were you beaten up by your grandmother when you were young?”
Old Madam Gu had a fiery temper, and no one in the Gu family dared to defy her. It was also because of Old Madam Gu’s love that Gu Zheng was not killed earlier on.
Gu Zheng replied nonchalantly, “Grandma is frighteningly strong, but in the Gu family, this is the best way to establish your power. Otherwise, how can you suppress these
demons and monsters?
“But I’ve always been obedient and sensible. Grandma never beat me up or was harsh to me. She’s only fierce toward her disobedient children and grandchildren, like
Chairman Gu and Gu Yao.”
Qiao Xi nodded thoughtfully. What he said made sense.
‘Why would I tell her that I was beaten up? Wouldn’t that be embarrassing?’
Gu Zheng thought in his heart, not knowing that Qiao Xi had already heard his thoughts clearly.
Qiao Xi lowered her head and smiled slyly.
It turned out that Gu Zheng had also been beaten by his elders when he was young. No wonder he was so good at teaching Gu Yao a lesson. It was all from his experience
when he was young.
At this moment, Huang Lilan and Gu Weiming were still quibbling. They completely omitted the fact that they had tried to poison Gu Zheng. Instead, they were accusing Gu
Zheng of disrespecting his elders and beating up his uncle.
Huang Lilan’s expression softened a little. Looking at the time, Old Madam Gu was about to fall asleep again. As long as she fell asleep, the entire Gu family would be under
their control.
At that moment, Qin An’s assistant walked in and whispered into Qin An’s ear. Following that, Qin An and the others from the Medical Association widened their eyes as
their expressions changed.
Qiao Xi smiled meaningfully. The real battle had begun.
Qin An said sternly, “Madam Gu, I really don’t understand how President Gu offended you. And how did our medical staff offend you?”
Chairman Gu was dumbfounded. He didn’t understand how this matter had anything to do with doctors. Why did Qin An bring people from the Medical Association to the
Gu family?
Just now, Qin An had helped Old Madam Gu inside. Chairman Gu thought that Qin An was here to treat Old Madam Gu’s illness, but now, it seemed to be related to Gu
Zheng.
Qin An said sternly, “Madam Gu just said that she didn’t poison President Gu, but the incense your brother put out at Maple Garden can clearly cause hallucinations. It’ll also
accelerate the effects of the poison already in President Gu’s body!
“Don’t be in such a hurry to refute. We of the Medical Association will naturally have found all the evidence we need before we speak. This incense is distributed by the
Medical Association. Because this kind of incense is poisonous, the buyer has to register their name in our records. I’ve already investigated. The person who bought the
incense is Huang Wei! He came to the Gu family to poison President Gu. Him getting beaten up is considered a light punishment.
“All these years, the members of the Medical Association have been trying to find a way to help President Gu detoxify the poison in his body, but Madam Gu, you ordered
your younger brother to poison him. You intended to cause the poison in his body to flare up. If that happened, what about the reputation of the Medical Association? Just
what’s your motive, Madam Gu?!”.
