Qiao Xi's heart thumped violently. If Gu Zheng saw those emails, he would definitely investigate her relationship with Huo Yuzhou. Perhaps he already knew about Huo Yuzhou before he went to the Brook family to cut off Tan Yu's hand.
Gu Zheng's eyes were as dark as a pool of water against the light, but there was a faint smile on his lips. "I came in when you were looking at your emails."
Qiao Xi: "…"
She suddenly felt like she had been caught in the act. She said agitatedly, "It's not… It's not what you think. Let me explain."
"Alright, explain." Gu Zheng's tone was calm and emotionless.
Qiao Xi looked at his calm face and became more and more flustered. She suddenly recalled what Song Shiyu had said. The calmer Gu Zheng looked and the more he smiled, the more terrifying he was. It meant that he was very angry.
It seemed that Gu Zheng already knew about her past with Huo Yuzhou and had guessed that the Brook family's sudden attack was because of her.
After a moment of silence, Qiao Xi suddenly felt aggrieved. "I haven't contacted Huo Yuzhou for a long time. He's a lunatic! He clearly already controls half of the Brook family's power and leads a good life now, but he just had to provoke me!
"He actually spent two billion to get me to marry that sadist, Tan Yu. Don't you think this person is crazy?!"
Gu Zheng: "…"
He hesitated for a moment before following Qiao Xi's train of thought. It turned out that she had always thought that the marriage was Huo Yuzhou's idea. The corners of his mouth could not help but curl up as he nodded. "Yes, he's crazy."
"He even sent someone to harass me just now. That person said that Huo Yuzhou sent me many emails. I was curious about what that pervert sent me, so I clicked on the emails and took a look," Qiao Xi said angrily.
Gu Zheng stroked her hair affectionately. "Since he's so annoying, Xi Xi, don't contact him in the future, much less meet him."
Qiao Xi hurriedly nodded. "I don't want to contact a lunatic! He's abnormal!"
Song Shijing and Song Shiyu were standing at the door. They heard their conversation and could not help but look at each other.
They remembered that Madam Tan was making things difficult for Young Madam because of the president. Tan Yu was coveting Young Madam because of Xia Mengyan's photo. This had nothing to do with Mr. Huo!
Gu Zheng reached out and pulled the obedient Mrs. Gu into his arms. His entire body exuded warmth, but his eyes were filled with coldness and killing intent.
That man actually dared to covet his Xi Xi!
"Xi Xi, the company is holding an auction tonight. Do you want to go with me?" Gu Zheng asked.
Qiao Xi was instantly interested and nodded happily.
Gu Zheng's eyes were filled with gentleness, but his tone was a little thought-provoking. "You've never been interested in auctions, and those things don't catch your eye. Why don't I give you a gift this time?"
Qiao Xi: "…"
The corners of her mouth twitched slightly. Why did she feel that Gu Zheng was implying something? It made her feel a chill run down her spine.
At eight in the evening, the auction was about to start. Qiao Xi changed into a gown and waited in the lounge with Gu Zheng.
After a while, a woman in her 30s who was dressed exquisitely walked over. The other party was the director of Gu Corporation's branch company. She smiled warmly. "Hello, President Gu and Mrs. Gu."
Gu Zheng nodded, then looked at Qiao Xi who was beside him and said softly, "I can't accompany you tonight. If you're bored, let her bring you around."
Qiao Xi replied and did not ask what he wanted to do, but she felt that Gu Zheng must have come to Y Nation for something important this time. Since he did not want to say it for the time being, Qiao Xi would not ask. In any case, she would find out sooner or later.
After Gu Zheng left, the beautiful director said respectfully, "Mrs. Gu, you can call me Director Luo. If there's anything you need, feel free to tell me. President Gu was afraid that you'd be disturbed by others, so he specially instructed me to accompany you."
"Who would disturb me?" Qiao Xi was slightly puzzled.
Director Luo smiled gently. "I'm not too sure about that either. Perhaps it's because you don't come to Y Nation often, so President Gu is afraid that something special will happen."
Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows and understood in her heart. She had long guessed Gu Zheng's intentions. Director Luo looked like a beautiful director on the surface, but she was actually not an ordinary person.
From the moment Director Luo entered, Qiao Xi noticed that her footsteps were very light, and her palms were a little rough. It was obvious that she was a martial artist. Presumably, Director Luo was Gu Zheng's shadow guard. For the sake of hiding her identity, she was given the position of director. Although Director Luo's acting skills were not bad, her disguise still could not escape Qiao Xi's eyes.
