Qiao Xi took a closer look and saw that there were only a few simple words in the email: [I'm sorry.]
She clicked on the next email. It also said that he was sorry. Every April or May, Huo Yuzhou would send her an email, but without exception, the content was the same. It was only two years ago that he suddenly stopped sending emails. Instead, it was Guan Hui who sent her some emails. They were filled with hypocritical greetings, saying that they all missed her very much and that if Qiao Xi was free, they could meet up.
Qiao Xi propped her chin and thought for a moment. She had never told Guan Hui her email and contact details, but she suddenly sent these emails. Huo Yuzhou must have told her.
At first, Guan Hui did not have any ill intentions in her emails. She was just telling Qiao Xi how good Huo Yuzhou was to her. She had a low status, but she felt very happy to be able to become Huo Yuzhou's woman. Moreover, she and Huo Yuzhou were going to get married soon. She hoped that Qiao Xi could attend the wedding.
After reading that particular email, Qiao Xi felt uncomfortable all over. She was just about to close her computer when she suddenly saw the last email.
[Xi Xi, since things have come to this, I won't hide it from you anymore.
[Back then, Yuzhou went to that village and went through a difficult time with you. He took care of you in every way. You saved him by chance and he invited you to the Huo family. Actually, all of that was for me.]
[I have a strange illness, and only the divine physician can treat it. Yuzhou heard that the divine physician was near that village, so he went there to gather information. He happened to know that the divine physician was about to take you in as his apprentice, so he approached you bit by bit.
[You're a wild girl who was abandoned by the Qiao family. How could an outstanding and arrogant man like Yuzhou like you? Moreover, Yuzhou burned the library back then because of me.
[Xi Xi, you've always trusted Yuzhou very much. Even when you were wronged, you didn't dare to tell the divine physician. You even personally introduced Yuzhou to the divine physician. You probably didn't expect such an outcome, right?!]
Qiao Xi clenched her fists and picked up her phone to take a photo of the email. She originally thought that Huo Yuzhou and Guan Hui had completely disappeared from her world. Unexpectedly, not only did they appear again, but they even came to disgust her!
She was furious and sent the contents of the email to her brothers and teacher.
Back then, when Huo Yuzhou set fire to the library, the Huo family immediately came to apologize when they found out about it. Grandpa was kind-hearted and could not bear to make things difficult for them, so he forgave Huo Yuzhou. However, he also requested to cut off all contact with the Huo family and never see them again. Even so, Qiao Xi would not forgive them. Now that Guan Hui had sent this email, it proved that Huo Yuzhou had set the fire for her.
The corners of Qiao Xi's mouth curled up. Guan Hui's actions were exactly what she wanted. Not long after she closed her computer, she received Shen Yu's message.
At the same time, the people from Ling Pavilion also sent a message. Tan Yu's hand had been cut off.
Qiao Xi was slightly surprised. Tan Yu's hand was chopped off. Who did it?
After thinking for a few seconds, Qiao Xi instantly came to a sudden understanding. She knew it. How could Gu Zheng have come to Y Nation for a meeting so coincidentally? He probably could not take this lying down and wanted to teach Tan Yu a lesson. The meeting was just an excuse.
Just as she was deep in thought, the man's gentle voice suddenly sounded behind her. "What are you thinking, Mrs. Gu? Didn't you hear me come back?"
Gu Zheng bent down and glanced at the contents of her phone. He said slowly, "Mrs. Gu, you seem to be very concerned about Tan Yu, but it's better not to dirty your eyes with such trash."
Qiao Xi was shocked by the sudden voice and hurriedly got up. After taking a few seconds to react, she asked, "Tan Yu's hand was cut off by someone. Did you hear about it?"
"No," Gu Zheng replied without changing his expression.
Qiao Xi sized him up and said with a smile, "Really? I thought you were the one who did it, but it turns out you didn't know about it!"
"It wasn't me." Gu Zheng's voice was calm. Even though he was suspected, his eyes were still calm.
Gu Zheng stood up and casually placed his jacket on the chair before sitting on the edge of the bed. His burning gaze landed on Qiao Xi's face, then he lowered his eyes to look at the closed laptop. His long eyelashes left a shadow on his eyelids, making it impossible to see his expression clearly. His voice was also a little hoarse. "I don't care about Tan Yu. I just want to know about you, Mrs. Gu."
Qiao Xi was slightly puzzled when she heard his words, but the instant she raised her eyes, she suddenly understood something. Her heart skipped a beat as she gulped nervously. "Um… When did you come in?"
Could it be that Gu Zheng had already entered when she was looking at the emails just now?
