Chapter 157: Meeting The Legendary Fiance

Qiao Xi hurriedly took out her phone. [Third Brother, what’s the name of the big shot?]

Qin An replied: [I’m not too sure. The old man doesn’t know either. This person is very low-profile and has never revealed his real name. However, everyone in the scientific research institute calls him ‘God Lu’.]

Lu??

When Qiao Xi saw this word, she was instantly petrified. Her face was pale, and her voice trembled. “What is Mr. Lu doing in the Gu family?”

This important figure held precious elements in his hands. 20 million USD per gram. If it were this person…

As soon as she finished speaking, Mr. Lu replied with a smile, “I’m here to discuss the precious elements business with you.”

Qiao Xi: “??”

His surname and identity seemed to be a match, and he was also in the Gu family. Qiao Xi felt a chill surge into her heart and could not help but take a few steps back. “Then I won’t disturb you anymore, Mr. Lu. I’ll be going first.”

“Miss Qiao, you’re leaving just like that?”

Mr. Lu was all smiles, but his voice was still warm and humble. “Did I offend you in any way, Miss Qiao?”

Qiao Xi’s heart seemed to have been stuffed with a rock. The feeling was slightly indescribable.

Although the man in front of her looked gentle and polite, he gave off a sinister feeling.

His eyes were as cold as a venomous snake, causing Qiao Xi to shudder and smile awkwardly.

“Mr. Lu, you’re overthinking it. I have something urgent to attend to. Besides, this is the first time I’m meeting you. Why did you say that?”

The corners of Mr. Lu’s mouth curled up slightly. “If this is our first time meeting, why would you avoid me? You should know very well that you’re already married.”

Holy sh*t!

Qiao Xi’s heart jerked as she gulped.

The engagement at that time was just a joke. The big shot probably didn’t care about it at all. Hence, Qiao Xi didn’t take it seriously either and thought that the old man was just speaking casually.

Moreover, when Qiao Xi was 18, the old man anxiously looked for that big shot and asked about the engagement. That big shot refused at that time.

Things had already happened, so why was she still pretending here?

He was the one who was unwilling back then, but he was blaming her for getting married now. Was this person crazy?!

Qiao Xi’s face was filled with anger. “Mr. Lu, I don’t understand what you mean. I’ll get going first!”

“Miss Qiao—” He was about to say something when a cold voice sounded.

“Mr. Lu, you should call her Mrs. Gu.”

Gu Zheng slowly walked over and held Qiao Xi’s hand. “I’ll have Song Shiyu bring you back to your room to rest.”

Then, he said coldly, “Mr. Lu, please.”

Lu Yan glanced at Qiao Xi before leaving with Gu Zheng.

Song Shiyu asked anxiously, “Madam, do you know Lu Yan?”

Lu Yan was pestering Young Madam just now. It seemed that he was going to snatch her away! This person was too annoying. He wanted to compete with Young Master for everything. The funny thing was that he was not Young Master’s match at all.
