Xia Mengyan explained, “President Gu, it’s true that my grandmother doesn’t like Xi Xi, but she’s never been upset at Xi Xi. That incident happened decades ago, and my grandmother has long forgotten about it. Why would she vent her anger on Xi Xi?”

Then, she looked at Qiao Xi and said earnestly, “Xi Xi, I know President Gu dotes on you, but you can’t use his love to frame others. Grandma has always hoped that you could come back and reunite with your family, but you’re treating her like this. Even if you hate her, you can’t malign her like this!

“You’re deliberately pretending to be weak to make President Gu’s heart ache. Perhaps he can’t tell, but as women, we can tell that you’re pretending. You want to sow discord between the Xia family and President Gu, but what’s in it for you? Why can’t our two families be harmonious?”

Qiao Xi sneered in her heart. Xia Mengyan knew that she was deliberately pretending to be weak! But didn’t Xia Mengyan often pretend to be pitiful to gain sympathy? What right did she have to say that about others?

Looking at Xia Mengyan’s angry but helpless appearance, Qiao Xi felt pleased. She smiled lightly and said, “Well it’s because Gu Zheng likes it when I pretend to be weak. I’m smug because I’m favored. What can you do about it?”

Xia Mengyan was fuming with anger. She bit her lip and did not say anything.

“Miss Xia.” Song Shijing reminded her, “Our president dotes on Young Madam and can’t bear to see her suffer. Now that Old Madam Xia has offended Young Madam, the president has to seek justice for her. If you interfere in this matter again, Old Madam Xia won’t be the only one who’ll suffer.”

Xia Mengyan was instantly speechless. She was not stupid enough to provoke Gu Zheng.

Song Shijing could tell that the president was running out of patience, so he walked up to Xia Cheng. “Old Master Xia, you know as well that our young madam is weak and kind. Of course, she can’t bear to deal with Old Madam Xia, so our president will do it for her. Since Old Madam Xia wants to throw Young Madam to the suburbs, why don’t we invite her to go there too?”

With that, Song Shiyu signaled the bodyguards to walk in front of Old Madam Xia and take her away forcefully.

“Ah Cheng!” Old Madam Xia trembled in fear.

Xia Cheng’s expression darkened. It was not that he cared about Old Madam Xia but he just felt that Gu Zheng was going too far. He was going to s.n.a.t.c.h his wife in front of him. Gu Zheng did not take him, an elder, seriously at all!

No matter how powerful Gu Zheng was, he was just a junior. What right did he have to let his a.s.sistant capture the mistress of the Xia family? He was clearly provoking and looking down on the Xia family!

The muscles on Xia Cheng’s face trembled. “President Gu, this is the Xia family. Sumei is Xi Xi’s elder. Even if she did something wrong, the matter shouldn’t be handled by a junior. Moreover, I’ve already asked her to apologize to Xi Xi. What else do you want…”

“Who said that elders don’t have to be punished for their mistakes? Moreover, Old Madam Xia has offended Mrs. Gu. I have no reason to let her off, nor do I need your permission to do this,” Gu Zheng interrupted Xia Cheng’s words and gestured for everyone to take action. The bodyguards went forward and grabbed Old Madam Xia’s arms before dragging her out.

Gu Zheng looked up and glanced coldly at the Xia family. “If I want to do something, no one can stop me. Old Master Xia, you think I shouldn’t do this, but I insist on doing it. If any of you are unconvinced, you can accompany Old Madam Xia to the suburbs so that she won’t be too lonely.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he held Qiao Xi’s hand and said gently, “Xi Xi, let’s go. You don’t have to come to the Xia family again.”

Qiao Xi’s face was filled with grievances as she shrunk into Gu Zheng’s embrace in fear and cried. “Yes! Let’s quickly go home. They’re too scary!”

Xia Cheng: “…” She was afraid? Why was she pretending?! Before Gu Zheng appeared, he did not notice Qiao Xi’s fear at all.

At this moment, Old Madam Xia was struggling violently. She did not expect Gu Zheng to really want to forcefully send her there. It was simply disgraceful!

Xia Cheng burned with rage, but he did not dare to flare up at Gu Zheng. He could only roar angrily at Qiao Xi. “Qiao Xi! Are you done fooling around?! Your grandmother is old and can’t endure such torture. Are you trying to kill her?”

Qiao Xi crawled out of Gu Zheng’s embrace and slowly raised her eyes to look at Xia Cheng. She said with a smile, “Old Master Xia, didn’t you say that I should stay in the Xia family for a few more days? But Old Madam Xia wants to harm me. If I see her every day, I’ll definitely be so afraid that I won’t be able to sleep. How can I stay in the Xia family in peace?”

Gu Zheng revealed a faint smile and quietly watched Mrs. Gu’s performance.
