[✓](2)Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

461-462

Chapter 461 The Real Fight Begins

Huang Lilan was so angry that she gritted her teeth. “Ah Zheng, would your uncle lie?

“There’s no evidence now, so, of course, you guys can say whatever you want!”

“Madam Gu, I’m the one who hit your younger brother.” Gu Zheng’s voice was cold, and his tone was flat. His gaze swept over Huang Wei like he was looking at trash.

Qiao Xi was stunned for a few seconds. Why did Gu Zheng say that he was the one who hit Huang Wei? She was the one who beat him up!

Initially, she did not want to refute, because she had indeed made a move on Huang Wei. Even so, Huang Wei only suffered some superficial injuries. Even if she had to take responsibility, she only had to compensate for the medical fees, which was a small amount.”

Qiao Xi looked at Gu Zheng worriedly. She moved closer and heard—

‘Everyone from the Gu family is here. If they know that she hit someone, I don’t know what ugly words they’ll say.

‘And if this matter gets out, how is Mrs. Gu going to act weak in the future?’

Qiao Xi was instantly speechless: “…”

‘Actually, Mrs. Gu is quite cute when she pretends to be weak. Moreover, she seems very happy pretending to be weak. As long as she likes it, I’m willing to cooperate with her.’

Qiao Xi knew that with Gu Zheng’s intelligence and wisdom, he had definitely seen through her long ago. Her image of a weak and delicate woman had long collapsed, but she did not expect that her senior would actually indulge her and allow her to continue pretending. He even enjoyed it.

Then…

‘I can’t let grandma know that Qiao Xi is pretending to be weak, otherwise…’

What? Qiao Xi hurriedly moved closer.

‘If Grandma finds out that Qiao Xi is as fierce as her, how can I have a good life in the future?”

Qiao Xi widened her eyes and lowered her voice. “Gu Zheng, were you beaten up by your grandmother when you were young?”

Old Madam Gu had a fiery temper, and no one in the Gu family dared to defy her. It was also because of Old Madam Gu’s love that Gu Zheng was not killed earlier on.

Gu Zheng replied nonchalantly, “Grandma is frighteningly strong, but in the Gu family, this is the best way to establish your power. Otherwise, how can you suppress these demons and monsters?

“But I’ve always been obedient and sensible. Grandma never beat me up or was harsh to me. She’s only fierce toward her disobedient children and grandchildren, like Chairman Gu and Gu Yao.”

Qiao Xi nodded thoughtfully. What he said made sense.

‘Why would I tell her that I was beaten up? Wouldn’t that be embarrassing?’

Gu Zheng thought in his heart, not knowing that Qiao Xi had already heard his thoughts clearly.

Qiao Xi lowered her head and smiled slyly.

It turned out that Gu Zheng had also been beaten by his elders when he was young. No wonder he was so good at teaching Gu Yao a lesson. It was all from his experience when he was young.

At this moment, Huang Lilan and Gu Weiming were still quibbling. They completely omitted the fact that they had tried to poison Gu Zheng. Instead, they were accusing Gu

Zheng of disrespecting his elders and beating up his uncle.

Huang Lilan’s expression softened a little. Looking at the time, Old Madam Gu was about to fall asleep again. As long as she fell asleep, the entire Gu family would be under their control.
