Chapter 320: Men Are Creatures Who Lie

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Song s.h.i.+yu had listened to the conversation between the butler and his brother from the side. They were speaking the truth, but it was a little too deliberate to say it out loud in front of Young Madam’s room.

This must have been the president’s order to make Young Madam worry.

Song s.h.i.+yu didn’t dare to say anything for fear that the president would take it out on him, so he said meaningfully, “Anyway, don’t believe what men say so easily. All men are liars and only know how to act pitiful to gain sympathy! Young Madam, you understand what I mean, right?”

Qiao Xi: “?”

‘Aren’t you a man too?’

…

When Qiao Xi arrived at the dining room, she saw several lit candles on the table. Dim lighting was better than nothing to Gu Zheng.

The man’s vision was dark, and his eyes were lifeless. He sat quietly on the chair.

Qiao Xi’s heart ached, and it hurt to the point her entire body trembled.

She hurried forward. “Where’s the butler? Gu Zheng, why didn’t you switch on the lights?”

The man looked up and followed the voice, but his eyes were unfocused. His face was pale as he frowned in pain.

“There you are.”

Qiao Xi pursed her lips tightly. “Why aren’t you eating? Gu Zheng, I’m actually not angry anymore. I…”

“It’s fine.”

The corners of Gu Zheng’s lips twitched. He said indifferently but with a hint of sadness, “I’m used to it.”

Song s.h.i.+yu: “…”

‘F*ck! The president is so scheming! He’s trying to gain sympathy!’

Gu Zheng was so fragile at this moment that it made Qiao Xi’s heart ache. Qiao Xi said gently, “I’ll turn on the lights and eat with you.”

The instant Qiao Xi turned around, the corners of Gu Zheng’s mouth curled up.

Song s.h.i.+yu saw this and understood that one should be more shameless. There were not many men as honest as him.

When he married a wife in the future, he had to be as thick-skinned as the president!

…

Gu Zheng ate a few mouthfuls of food with difficulty. His eyes were empty and weak. “When I was young… Grandma was the only one who cared about me. After that, she fell sick and couldn’t help me anymore. But when she was lucid, she would hug me and coax me to sleep.”

Qiao Xi felt a dull pain in her heart.

Gu Zheng’s face was filled with sorrow. “Other than Grandma, everyone else bullied me, tortured me, and even wanted to kill me.”

Qiao Xi was overflowing with sympathy and said without even thinking, “I’ll coax you to sleep.”

After she said that, she was surprised by her own words and felt that they were inappropriate. Just as she was about to correct herself, she saw Gu Zheng suddenly looking up.

There was finally a ripple in his eyes. “Really?”

Gu Zheng had always been domineering and cold, exuding the aura of a king. But right now, he was so fragile that it made one’s heart ache.

If she went back on her words, Gu Zheng would probably be very disappointed, right? He would feel that there was no one in this world who cared about him.

After hesitating for a moment, Qiao Xi nodded. “Yes.”

Song s.h.i.+yu was petrified by what he saw. How could this be?

After Qiao Xi helped Gu Zheng upstairs, he rushed to Song s.h.i.+jing. “The president is acting a little weird!”

Song s.h.i.+jing looked at him indifferently.

Song s.h.i.+yu was curious. “The president doesn’t know how to date at all. Why would he come up with such a method to beg for Young Madam’s forgiveness? There must be someone behind this! Brother, do you know who it is? Tell me, who is it?”

Song s.h.i.+jing looked away and said unhurriedly, “I got a raise.”

“What?” Song s.h.i.+yu was furious. “Why am I having my salary deducted every day while you get a raise?! This is injustice!”

Song s.h.i.+jing smiled. “Why? Because in the president’s eyes, you and I are of different values to him.”

Song s.h.i.+yu always came up with bad ideas, but his suggestions had helped the president coax Young Madam.

They were both brothers. Why were their IQs so different?!

…

The next morning.

Qiao Xi slowly woke up. As she looked at the slightly unfamiliar environment before her, she recalled that she’d slept in Gu Zheng’s room last night.

It was unknown when Gu Zheng had left, but Qiao Xi sat on the bed with a dumbfounded expression.

That wasn’t right!

It was clearly Gu Zheng who made her angry. Why was she the one who coaxed him to sleep in the end?

Did Gu Zheng have an expert guiding him?

Suddenly, her phone rang. It was Xue Yi.

After Qiao Xi answered the call, Xue Yi said anxiously, “Little Six, do you know that someone donated a school building to Li City University?”

“I know.” This matter had long spread throughout Li City University.. Of course, she knew about it too.
