Chapter 1646 With Someone You Care About, You'll Have A Weakness



At the same time, He Weinian was discussing a collaboration with a few business big bosses. When he saw Gu Zheng sitting not far away, he brought everyone over. His tone was gentle. "Ah Zheng, are you still angry with me? Those are all misunderstandings. Actually, I was very worried about you when you entered the police station!"

Gu Zheng did not even raise his eyes and just chuckled.

He Weinian continued to explain, "Although we haven't contacted each other much all these years, you're still my student. I believe in your character. At that time, I had already sent someone to investigate this matter. I didn't expect that the person who harmed you was my butler."

His eyes were filled with helplessness, but Gu Zheng was still expressionless. No one dared to make a sound as they secretly thought about their relationship.

No matter what, He Weinian was Gu Zheng's master. Although the two of them did not seem to have a good relationship on the surface, who knew what Gu Zheng was thinking? Hence, they had to be more respectful to He Weinian.

Everyone hurriedly echoed, "That's right! Chairman He has been busy dealing with President Gu's matter recently, but I didn't expect the butler to be the perpetrator!"

"Chairman He, you're just too kind. Leaving such a hidden danger by your side has affected your relationship with President Gu."

He Weinian sat opposite Gu Zheng and said awkwardly, "Ah Zheng, Tingchen…"

"Tingchen can't be blamed for this," Gu Zheng said without hesitation.

Hearing that, everyone thought that he had forgiven the He family. They heard that President Gu had a bad temper, but now, it seemed that he was quite tolerant!

When He Tingchen came out of prison, Gu Zheng and He Weinian's relationship would recover to normal sooner or later. The He family was still a top family in high society.

He Weinian smiled in satisfaction. He was sure that Gu Zheng would not refuse. After all, he had already matured and was not as arrogant as before.

In the past year, all the rumors about Gu Zheng's bad temper and viciousness had disappeared. Gu Zheng, who appeared in front of everyone again, was an elegant, noble, gentle, and polite rich man.

Gu Zheng had never cared about what others thought of him. The huge change now was only because of Qiao Xi. When someone had someone they cared about, they would have a weakness.

Hence, He Weinian was sure that Gu Zheng would not fall out with him in public and be scolded for being disrespectful to his master. Gu Zheng was also unwilling to let Qiao Xi be implicated. After all, once the He family cut ties with Gu Zheng, Qiao Xi would definitely bear most of the blame.

"Ah Zheng, let me give you a toast." He Weinian raised his glass. Just as Gu Zheng was about to raise his glass…

"President!" Song Shiyu rushed in.

Everyone looked puzzled. Song Shiyu had been following Mrs. Gu. Why did he come to the banquet hall where the male guests were?

Song Shiyu walked to Gu Zheng's side and whispered in his ear.

Bang!

Gu Zheng slammed the wine glass on the table, shattering the glass. Bright red wine flowed down the table.

Song Shiyu quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe Gu Zheng's hands. At this moment, Gu Zheng's eyes were cold and he exuded strong killing intent. He looked like a demon who had walked out of hell.

The banquet hall instantly fell silent. Everyone stopped breathing.

"Chairman He, I came to the banquet today because of your kindness in imparting your knowledge to me back then, but it doesn't mean that I'll blindly tolerate the He family bullying my wife!"

Gu Zheng glanced coldly at He Weinian before leaving angrily.

Just then, Song Shiyu said slowly, "Chairman He, please keep an eye on your wife and daughter. The president won't pursue He Tingchen's mistake on account of your past relationship, but that doesn't mean you can offend him again and again."

Everyone was dumbfounded and looked at He Weinian.

He Weinian's expression was gloomy as he gritted his teeth tightly. Those two idiots must have attacked Qiao Xi again!

Everyone hurriedly arrived at the backyard. Gu Zheng's expression was cold as he strode toward Qiao Xi. After confirming that there were no injuries on her body, he was relieved and asked softly, "Have you been wronged?"

Qiao Xi nodded delicately. "Miss He and Madam He said that I seduced Young Master He. I'm not familiar with Young Master He at all. How can they slander me like this?"

The corners of Madam He's mouth twitched, and she could not help but shiver.

"Where did your confidence come from, Madam He?" Gu Zheng sneered, not hiding the mockery in his eyes.

Song Shiyu immediately mocked, "Yes! Madam He, you're too confident! Our young madam has only met Young Master He a few times, yet you just had to say that our young madam seduced Young Master He. Where did you get that from?

"All the socialites present, you have to be careful. In the future, you'd better take a detour when you see Young Master He. Otherwise, it'll be very easy for Madam He to think that you seduced Young Master He. You're all innocent young ladies from noble families. No one wants to be cursed like this, right?!"

Qiao Xi: "…"

Song Shiyu had a vicious tongue!
