Chapter 144: A Special Gift


“My health hasn’t been good recently, and you guys are busy with work. I don’t even know when we’ll meet again. I don’t even know when the jade sculptures will be ready. How about I get you another gift?”


Qiao Xi was just about to say that it was alright when Old Madam Gu took out a dark object from the side and stuffed it into her hand. “Take this as a gift. I hope you’ll like it.”


Qiao Xi looked at the thing in her hand in silence for three seconds. “…”


Wasn’t this gift a little too much?


She was speechless for a long time. If it were not for the inappropriate timing and location, she really wanted to grab Gu Zheng’s collar and ask, ‘Do all Gu family members give guns as gifts?!’


The first time Gu Zheng gave her a gift, it was a beautiful silver pistol. Now, Old Madam Gu gave her a black pistol… They were indeed a family. Their tastes were all very unique.


“Alright, I’ve given you your gift. You can leave now.” Old Madam Gu suddenly chased them away.


Gu Zheng pursed his lips tightly and said in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “Grandma, I’ll accompany you for a little longer.”


Old Madam Gu refused with a smile. “Alright, it’s good enough that we met. I’m tired and should rest.”


When the servant heard the voices, she hurriedly went forward. “Young Master, Old Madam Gu has fewer and fewer days to wake up. It’s time for her to sleep.”


Qiao Xi instinctively frowned. What did she mean by fewer and fewer days to wake up?


Gu Zheng left with Qiao Xi with a cold face. It could be seen that he was not in a good mood, so Qiao Xi did not look for trouble. After the servant put Old Madam Gu to bed, she deliberately took a few steps over to explain to Qiao Xi, “Young Madam, don’t take it to heart. Old Madam is sick, so she can only see people for a short period of time every day.”


Qiao Xi naturally did not take offense. If she only met the old madam for a short while, there wouldn’t be much risk of her having to actually marry Gu Zheng. She glanced in the direction of the door. Although her next question might not be too polite, she still asked it. “How long has Grandma’s situation been going on for?”


The servant was stunned as if she did not expect Qiao Xi to ask such a question, but she still answered, “More than 30 years ago.”


Qiao Xi nodded. That explained things. According to her observation, Old Madam Gu doted on Gu Zheng a lot. With Madam Gu’s status in the Gu family, she would never let Gu Zheng be abused by his biological mother. It was just that her lethargy had caused her to not have the energy to take care of Gu Zheng.


“Young Madam, you don’t have to worry. The old madam has been enduring for such a long time. Now that she knows that Young Master and you are living a happy life, the heavy stone in her heart has been lifted. Her mood and illness will also improve significantly. I heard that Young Master has been looking for a divine physician. If you can find them, the old madam might be able to recover from her illness… However, I heard that the physician has gone missing for a few years. Someone even said that they’re dead… Sigh.”


Qiao Xi abruptly raised her head. Divine physician?


If it was the person she was thinking of, she might be able to help!


On the way back, Qiao Xi had been thinking about this matter. However, she had not contacted the old man for a long time. Two years ago, after he sent her to Li City, there was no more news of him.


Qiao Xi lowered her head to look at the gun in her hands. Actually, she did not think she was a warm-hearted person. She had also gotten used to seeing people die, so some of her emotional fluctuations had gradually calmed down. However, why did she want to look for the old fellow to treat Old Madam Gu even though she had only seen her for a while?

Was it because of… Gu Zheng?


She thought of Gu Zheng’s reluctant look before he left and her heart tightened. For some reason, she did not want to see this man frown. She attributed all of this to her being too immersed in the act. It was Gu Zheng who asked her to act like a loving couple with him. Normal wives would definitely be worried when they saw their husbands’ worried faces, right?


However, she knew that this was all an act. She did not need to take it seriously, nor did she need to spend so much effort to find this old fellow just for the sake of pretending to be husband and wife with Gu Zheng.


Qiao Xi kept finding excuses for herself. Suddenly, she heard footsteps outside the door. They were talking about Shen Ying.


“Miss Shen and Young Master are childhood sweethearts. I thought that Miss Shen would definitely be the mistress of the Gu family.”


“Sigh, it’s all because of the latecomer. If it weren’t for Young Madam, Young Master would definitely have been touched by Miss Shen. Which man can reject a woman who loves him so wholeheartedly?”


Qiao Xi inexplicably felt slightly uncomfortable when she heard this.



In Shen Ying’s room.


Madam Gu’s face was gloomy. Although Shen Ying was not her child, she had watched her grow up. Now that she saw Shen Ying being bullied by Qiao Xi, how could she stand it?
