The butler looked at Gu Zheng who was frowning deeply and said while trembling, “President, I’ll get them to leave.”
“Wait.”
Gu Zheng stopped him and smiled coldly. “I also have something to ask Young Master Lin. Since he’s here, I don’t have to go look for him.”
When Qiao Xi heard his words, she felt a chill run down her spine. Lin Jie was probably doomed!
Lin Jie and Yao Mengqing sat on the sofa like the owners of the house. They were overjoyed.
“Ah Jie, don’t say that. Xi Xi will be unhappy if she hears this.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Yao Mengqing raised her eyes and saw Qiao Xi, who was at the door. She cried out in surprise, “Xi Xi? You’re back!”
Lin Jie looked up unhappily, his eyes filled with disgust.
Yao Mengqing quickly stood up and said somewhat uneasily, “Xi Xi, Ah Jie was just joking just now. Don’t take it to heart. I just treat Ah Zheng as a friend.”
“Am I wrong? You and Ah Zheng were childhood sweethearts. You even slept on the same bed when you were young. He even said that he would marry you when he grew up. Have you forgotten all this?” Lin Jie looked serious.
Yao Mengqing lowered her head shyly and hurriedly explained, “Xi Xi, when Ah Zheng was young, he did say that he wanted to marry me, but that’s what children say. Children’s words carry no harm. It was just for fun.”
Qiao Xi could not help but sigh. Miss Yao’s acting skills were really good.
She did not take Lin Jie’s words seriously at all, but Yao Mengqing just had to repeat those things. She even looked shy. It was simply making things worse.
Was Miss Yao deliberately trying to make her jealous and angry?
Yao Mengqing pretended to be nervous. “Xi Xi, don’t be angry. It’s just…”
Before Qiao Xi could speak, Gu Zheng said calmly, “Yao Mengqing, you have a bad memory. The person who played around with you when you were young was Gu Yao, not me.”
Yao Mengqing’s expression suddenly changed.
Gu Zheng said slowly, “I wasn’t as childish as you guys.”
Qiao Xi knew it. How could someone like him play house with them? He even said he wanted to marry Yao Mengqing?
The corners of Yao Mengqing’s mouth twitched a few times. She forced out a smile and made herself calm down. “I-It’s possible that I remembered it wrong. So it was Gu Yao. That’s even better. Xi Xi won’t be angry anymore.”
Lin Jie frowned. It was just a game when they were young, yet Gu Zheng was not sparing Meng Qing any dignity. Wasn’t this too much?
He went up to Gu Zheng and said, “It’s normal for one to remember things wrong if they happened so long ago. Do you have to be so unreasonable?”
“Ah Zheng, it’s fine that you didn’t tell us about your marriage. But why did I hear from Meng Qing that if we want to come to your house to hang out, Qiao Xi won’t let us?”
Lin Jie had a look of disbelief on his face. “Ah Zheng, are you serious? We’re such good friends, but we can’t see each other anymore just because your wife doesn’t welcome us?”
The atmosphere instantly fell silent.
The butler also became nervous. Was Young Master Lin crazy?
He ran to Longwan Residential to ask the president to choose between them in front of Young Madam?
Gu Zheng sneered, and it seemed slightly strange with the silent atmosphere. He raised his eyes to look at Qiao Xi. “What do you think?”
Qiao Xi sat on the sofa with her legs crossed and smiled lightly. “I initially wanted to save some dignity for Miss Yao, but I couldn’t stop Miss Yao from being shameless enough to come over time and time again. So I’ll say it clearly, you’re the only one I don’t welcome.”
Yao Mengqing’s face turned pale.
Lin Jie immediately defended her. “Qiao Xi! This is Ah Zheng’s house, and we’re his good friends. It doesn’t matter whether you welcome us or not!”
“What Mrs. Gu means is very important,” Gu Zheng said coldly, “I support everything she does.”
Yao Mengqing’s body went soft and she almost stopped in her tracks. Her heart was so heavy that she could not breathe.
“I… I’m not feeling well. I’m sorry.”
With that, she covered her face and rushed out.
Gu Zheng’s expression was calm as he held Qiao Xi’s hand. “Let’s go.”
“Gu Zheng!” Lin Jie said in shock, “What do you mean? You know that Meng Qing likes you and only has you in her heart, yet you’re still hurting her like this? Do you still treat us as friends?”
