1226 Her Acting Skills Are Truly Heaven-Defying!
He Wenyin replied nervously, “Because the He family betrayed you and you hate the He family. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. We can join forces to deal with them.”
“Join forces?” Gu Zheng raised an eyebrow and said indifferently, “Second Miss He, with my strength, I don’t think I need to join forces with you. Moreover, we’re not friends.”
He Wenyin was unconvinced. “Gu Zheng, I know you’ve been pretending to be a warm man in front of Mrs. Gu. To be honest, it doesn’t match your temperament at all. Your wife isn’t simple either. In terms of acting skills, she’s the best. She probably already knows what kind of person you are. Why are you pretending? Today, we’ll be frank!”
Song Shiyu could not help but sigh. Second Miss He was indeed smart. She could tell at a glance that Young Madam’s acting skills were good!
Gu Zheng’s expression remained indifferent. “Xi Xi likes me like this. What can you do about it, Second Miss He?”
He Wenyin instantly choked. They were clearly husband and wife, but they were still acting with each other. They pretended to be warm and weak. What kind of new way of communication was this?
He Wenyin pursed her lips. “Let me remind you that He Weinian didn’t return to Li City just for the He family’s company. He wants to deal with you and me. I don’t know his true plan yet, but he definitely won’t let you off. He might even kill you and take everything from you.”
Gu Zheng snorted coldly. Kill him?
Seeing Gu Zheng’s disdainful expression, He Wenyin shook her head helplessly. “That’s all I have to say. Whether you believe it or not, it’s up to you. Looking at the time, the He family will be here to apologize soon. Hurry up and look for your wife. Who are you putting on an act for if not her?”
“Miss He.” Gu Zheng’s voice was calm. “No matter what secrets and motives you have, don’t come to my office on your own in the future. I’m afraid Xi Xi will misunderstand our relationship. I don’t want anything to affect our relationship as husband and wife.”
He Wenyin: “…”
Damn! If she had known earlier, she would have gone straight to look for Mrs. Gu. Now, she was actually despised by Gu Zheng.
After He Wenyin left, Gu Zheng’s eyes revealed a trace of coldness. He did not know why He Weinian wanted to deal with He Wenyin, but He Weinian would not kill him if he wanted to deal with him. He Weinian was just after some benefits.
Song Shiyu asked tentatively, “President, the He family is here, but He Wenyin said that they’re going to deal with you. Are you still going to see them?”
“They didn’t go to Longwan Residential to apologize but came to Gu Corporation with great fanfare. They want everyone to be an audience so that I can’t refuse them in public. If I don’t go, won’t I be disrespecting them?”
Qiao Xi and Gu Zheng arrived at the fifth meeting room of Gu Corporation almost at the same time. When they saw the two of them arrive, everyone from the He family immediately stood up with enthusiastic expressions.
When He Weinian saw Gu Zheng, his eyes were filled with gratification and joy. Even Qiao Xi could not discern anything from his appearance. He was like an elder who truly doted on his disciple. If he was pretending, then his acting skills were really heaven-defying!
He Weinian’s eyes were gentle as he smiled affectionately. “Gu Zheng, it’s been so many years since we last met. You’ve changed a lot. I didn’t know that you were already married. Why didn’t you tell me?”
He looked at He Wenxian helplessly and sighed. “Gu Zheng, you’ve probably guessed why I’m here today. If there’s nothing else, I wouldn’t have disturbed you. I know that Wenxian offended Mrs. Gu in Gu Corporation yesterday.
“After Wenxian returned home, I reprimanded her severely. Now that she knows her mistake, I shamelessly brought her here to apologize to your wife. Don’t worry, I won’t make things difficult for you. The He family has already given up on the collaboration. Take it as a lesson for Wenxian. I’ll make sure she learns her lesson and won’t dare to spout nonsense anymore.”
With that, he turned to look at He Wenxian and berated coldly, “Wenxian, quickly apologize!”
Only then did Qiao Xi understand He Weinian’s intentions. He came to apologize so ostentatiously, but he was saying that the He family had taken the initiative to withdraw from the competition. This was a punishment for He Wenxian. Was he doing this to express his sincerity to Gu Zheng or to show outsiders? He wanted to prove to everyone that his children had done something wrong, and he would absolutely not tolerate it.
It was really strange! What was he trying to do? Why was he deliberately maintaining his perfect image?
Just then, Song Shiyu walked in and whispered in Gu Zheng’s ear, “President, the Xia family is outside. They’re asking to see Young Madam.”
Qiao Xi was speechless. Why did she have to meet these annoying people every day? Today, both families were here.
