1318 A Weak Woman Who Killed An Ox With One Punch
Qiao Xi smiled gently. “Reporter Fang, you should know that if they didn’t have any intention of harming me, I wouldn’t have thought of making a counter-attack either. If I really fall into their hands, I’ll definitely end up miserable. So it’s reasonable for me to deal with them. What do you think?”
Gu Yao: “???” ‘You’re a weak woman? Someone who can kill an ox with one punch is saying that she’s weak?’
Half an hour later, Qiao Xi was done packing and had just gone out when she b.u.mped into a tall man.
Gu Zheng’s eyes were deep. Seeing that she was stunned at the door, he slowly walked toward her.
Qiao Xi raised her eyes to glance at him and said seriously, “Ah Zheng, no matter what, I have to go today!”
Gu Zheng pursed his lips tightly and stood in front of her. After a moment of silence, he chuckled. “You’re really fooling around. I’ve only been out for a short while, yet you’ve secretly agreed to go to the Xia family.”
Qiao Xi knew that Gu Zheng was worried about her and would definitely not agree to let her go to the Xia family. However, even if she did not go today, the Xia family would not let the matter rest. There would be other schemes.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. Everything is under my control.”
The man lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes casting a shadow on his eyelids. His tall body was still blocking in front of her. “Xi Xi, I’ve always supported you in whatever you usually do, but I’ve said it before. I don’t want you to be in danger.”
He stretched out his hand, and his long fingers wrapped around Qiao Xi’s hand, unwilling to let go. Worry appeared in his usually cold eyes.
“I won’t be in danger. I’m bringing a reporter with me. Moreover, the shadow guards of Ling Pavilion will secretly protect me. They’ll surround the Xia family’s villa. If I’m in danger, the shadow guards will immediately appear to save me.
“The Xia family has already schemed against me multiple times. Even if I don’t go this time, they’ll find other reasons to see me. At that time, we might encounter an unpredictable situation. It’s much better for me to go now than to give them the chance to execute a sudden attack.”
Gu Zheng held her hand tightly and said in a low voice, “I’ll go with you.”
Qiao Xi immediately refused. “No, Gu Zheng. The effect will be different if you go. Moreover, I have something more important to hand to you.”
Gu Zheng looked up and met her eyes. He instantly understood. “The DNA test results of the Medical a.s.sociation?”
“Yes.” Qiao Xi’s tone became heavy. “It’s impossible to get the Xia family to cooperate with us for a DNA test. Even if the Yin family appears, they won’t admit it, so we need to find someone to help us with this matter. He’ll definitely agree if you appear.”
At that time in New City Mall, through the Luo family’s head’s words, everyone suspected that Xia Yunlou was not her biological mother. However, there was no evidence, after all. The Xia family had forged too many things. If Qiao Xi did not figure it out this time, there would be endless trouble in the future.
Hence, Madam Tan’s appearance gave Qiao Xi a new idea. She had never been a soft-hearted person. She had always adhered to the principle of not offending others unless they offended her. This time, she was going to counter-attack!
…
In the Xia family’s villa.
A few servants from the Xia family were entering the house from the door. Xia Mengyan casually picked up a box and opened it to take a look. It was filled with precious items such as gold, silver, and jewelry.
Madam Tan looked at her arrogantly. “Miss Xia, thank you for the photo.”
Xia Mengyan’s expression changed. “Madam Tan, what photo? I don’t understand what you mean.”
“Miss Xia, you were the one who facilitated this marriage,” Madam Tan said calmly. “If you hadn’t given Qiao Xi’s photo to my a.s.sistant, my son wouldn’t have found such a wife. It’s just that you didn’t tell me in advance that Miss Qiao is already married and her husband is Gu Zheng.”
Actually, she came to Li City from Y Nation because her son liked Qiao Xi, but all of this started because of a photo.
Xia Mengyan’s pupils constricted as she hurriedly lowered her head.
Madam Tan said slowly, “Miss Xia, there’s no need to pretend in front of me. Of course, I investigated your background before I came.”
Xia Mengyan clenched her fists tightly and did not dare to look Madam Tan in the eye. She felt as if she couldn’t hide any of her secrets in front of Madam Tan. She did not expect Madam Tan to find out so quickly.
At that time, she accidentally found out about Young Master Tan’s scandal. She heard that he liked to abuse women, and several of his wives died at his hands. Not only did his family not stop him, but they even relied on their family’s status to help Young Master Tan search for beautiful women. No matter their status or ident.i.ty, as long as the women were good-looking, they were qualified to marry him. Moreover, the betrothal gifts were always very generous.
