Chapter 1601 Gu Zheng's Enemy



A trace of playfulness flashed past Twilight's eyes. "Miss Qiao, don't you know Mu Jin?"

"Even the judges of the perfume competition haven't seen Mu Jin before, so how could I have seen her? Fortunately, you stood up and said that you know Mu Jin. Otherwise, Kang Qingzhi would have continued to pretend to be Mu Jin!" Qiao Xi said slowly.

"Q-Qiao Xi!" As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Yao rushed over and subconsciously glanced at Twilight. "Gu Zheng is here to pick you up. If he sees you talking to another man, he'll be jealous again."

Qiao Xi instantly choked and was speechless.

Her gaze shifted between Twilight and Gu Yao with a trace of surprise.

Gu Zheng was here to pick her up?

Before Qiao Xi could come back to her senses, Gu Yao pulled her to the roadside. Twilight was still standing in the same spot with a cold smile on his lips. He said elegantly, "Goodbye, Miss Qiao."

Qiao Xi: "…"

It was fine if he did not admit it, but why was he acting in front of her?! How could there be two Gu Zhengs at the same time?

Qiao Xi quickly left with Gu Yao. Gu Yao brought her around, and Qiao Xi frowned. "Where are you bringing me? Where's Gu Zheng?"

Gu Yao: "…" 'It's really too difficult!'

Qiao Xi stared at him with a burning gaze. "Are you sure Gu Zheng is here to pick me up?"

"Yes… That's right!" Gu Yao nodded.

"Where is he?"

"Gu… Gu Zheng called me and said that he's here to pick you up. I didn't know that he wasn't here yet! This bastard is playing with me! It's fine that he's playing with me, but he even made you wait with me! Don't be angry! I'll scold him for you!"

Qiao Xi crossed her arms and watched Gu Yao's performance with interest. She saw him take out his phone while trembling and call Gu Zheng.

'Gu Zheng! You have to work hard and quickly come over to pick up Qiao Xi!'

The other party did not pick up for a long time. Gu Yao felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest. He was afraid that he would be exposed. His heart instantly turned cold as he stammered, "Qiao… Qiao Xi! He didn't pick up. Why don't we go back first? We won't wait for that bastard anymore. He's really unreliable!"

Qiao Xi grunted coldly.

Gu Yao's entire body tensed up. After a long silence, Qiao Xi said casually, "Alright."

Gu Yao could finally relax. He hurriedly bent down and invited Qiao Xi into the car with a flattering expression. "Sister-in-law, please get in."

Qiao Xi nodded arrogantly. She was just about to get into the car when she heard a gentle voice behind her. "Xi Xi."

Gu Zheng's eyes were calm. He did an extremely good job at pretending that nothing was wrong. He strode forward and held Qiao Xi's hand. "I'm here to pick you up. Let's go home."

Qiao Xi turned around and looked behind him. "You didn't drive?"

He said calmly, "We got into a small accident. Song Shijing went to handle it."

Gu Yao instantly understood and hurriedly said, "Then quickly get in the car. I'll send you back!"

Damn! Gu Zheng was so quick-witted! He was late because of a car accident and the car was towed away by Song Shijing, which explained why he did not drive. This excuse was perfect!

Gu Zheng and Qiao Xi got into the backseat. The dignified Second Young Master Gu had become their chauffeur.

Qiao Xi leaned against Gu Zheng and suddenly realized that he had been holding his stomach. She reached out to touch it, and sticky blood dyed her fair fingertips red.

"Gu Yao! Go to the hospital!" Qiao Xi exclaimed, scaring Gu Yao so much that his heart trembled and the car swayed.

"What's wrong?" Gu Yao asked.

Qiao Xi's expression was gloomy. "Ah Zheng, are you injured?"

Gu Zheng was wearing a black coat today, so the blood was not obvious. He replied gently, "I'm fine. It's just a small injury."

Gu Yao's eyes were filled with shock. In order to put on a convincing performance, he pretended to be in a car accident and even got himself injured?

However, Gu Yao quickly knew that he had misunderstood. Gu Zheng must have really gotten into a car accident because someone was following their car right now.

"Gu Yao, calm down. Get rid of them." Gu Zheng's voice was still calm, and his gentle voice made Gu Yao feel at ease.

Although Gu Yao was nervous, he felt that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. He stepped on the accelerator and the car shot out like an arrow.

Qiao Xi took Gu Zheng's pulse and lifted his clothes. When she realized that the wound was not big, she heaved a sigh of relief. "What exactly is going on?"

Gu Zheng lowered his eyes and replied calmly, "Someone's seeking revenge."

A few minutes later, Gu Yao still did not shake off the car that was following them. Qiao Xi frowned. This was not an ordinary enemy. Their enemies in Li City naturally did not dare to lay a finger on Gu Zheng, so this enemy was definitely not from Li City.

However, those who could come to Li City to chase after Gu Zheng were naturally not ordinary people. Qiao Xi quickly thought about it.

Could it be… the Brook family?
