1257 Xi Xi, Have You Heard Of The Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor?

The private room was silent. Madam Xia’s expression changed. She clenched her fists so tightly that her fingers turned pale. Her nails had already pierced through her skin, but she did not notice it.

Qiao Xi was not anxious and quietly looked at her. After a long silence, Madam Xia took a deep breath and choked slightly. “I… I’ll support you. As long as you want to do it, I’ll support you!”

As soon as she finished speaking and before Qiao Xi could speak, Madam Xia abruptly stood up. “I’m sorry, Miss Qiao. It’s getting late. I should go back. They’ll definitely look for me when they notice that I’m missing.”

She left in a hurry, leaving Gu Zheng and Qiao Xi in the room.

Gu Zheng’s expression was still gentle. In front of Qiao Xi, he would always be a n.o.ble young master who was as gentle as jade. He thoughtfully poured a cup of coffee for Qiao Xi and looked at her dotingly. “Xi Xi, did you gain anything?”

“Yes! Madam Xia’s answer just now made me even more sure of the relationship between Xia Yunlou and Xia Mengyan.” Qiao Xi nodded, her eyes filled with coldness.

Madam Xia was only Xia Mengyan’s mother in name. She specially came to look for her to tell her this secret about Xia Yunlou and Xia Mengyan.

“Madam Xia looks like a little white rabbit on the surface, but her IQ is much higher than those idiots from the Xia family. She has been locked up by the Xia family for so many years, but she secretly ran out to tell me this secret today.”

Gu Zheng gently stroked her hair and said softly, “She probably thinks that you’re someone she can trust, and only you can expose the truth.”

Qiao Xi seemed to be lost in thought. What other secrets did Madam Xia have?

The cafe was under Gu Zheng’s name. When the manager found out that Gu Zheng was here, he hurriedly entered to report his work. After he was done, the manager said again, “President, I’ve found the ancient painting you asked me to look for, but the painting was burned. I’m looking for someone to restore it.”

“What ancient painting?” Qiao Xi asked curiously.

Gu Zheng took a sip of coffee and replied gently, “It’s just an ordinary painting. It’s the work of an old friend of mine.”

Qiao Xi nodded, and Gu Zheng instructed in a low voice, “You don’t have to look for anyone. I’ll arrange for someone to restore it.”

“Alright, President.” With that, the manager hurriedly turned around and left the private room.

After the manager left, Gu Zheng looked at Qiao Xi with interest and asked, “Xi Xi, aren’t you curious why I’m looking for that painting?”

Qiao Xi waved her hand. “Since it belongs to your friend, it’s not strange for you to be looking for it!”

Gu Zheng smiled and said in a bewitching tone, “But that painting has already been destroyed. It has to be restored. I don’t know if it can still be restored to its original state.”

Qiao Xi did not notice Gu Zheng’s strange behavior and casually replied, “There are many professional restorers in the capital. Send someone to invite one back.”

With Gu Zheng’s current power, not to mention finding a restorer, it was not difficult for him to invite all the restorers in the world. Moreover, as long as he gave the order, those people would definitely fight to help him restore the painting.

Gu Zheng frowned. “But… most of those people are unreliable. I’m worried about leaving it to them.”

Qiao Xi was just about to speak and say that she could help introduce a professional to him, but before she could speak, Gu Zheng said with a smile, “I heard that there’s a famous restorer in the capital. It’d be great if we can find her.”

Qiao Xi raised her eyes and met Gu Zheng’s smiling eyes, and her heart couldn’t help but tremble.

“Six years ago, she repaired an ancient scroll. Many professors in the cultural relics world were unable to complete the task, yet she completed it in a month alone. Moreover, the traces of the restoration were almost impossible to see. At that time, her name caused a sensation in the cultural relics world, and she became a top figure. Xi Xi, have you heard of this person?”

Qiao Xi instantly choked, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly. “I-I’ve never heard of her.”

“I haven’t even said who it is, yet you already said you don’t know her! She goes by the name of Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor, and the restoration technique she uses is very similar to the Luo family’s. Xi Xi, you and Luo Qing are siblings. I thought you’d definitely know!”

Qiao Xi: “…” This b.a.s.t.a.r.d was bullying her again! He was deliberately exposing her!

She gulped and retorted indignantly, “There are so many people on Xuan Island, so how could I know all of them? Moreover, the technology she uses is only similar to the Luo family’s. Maybe she doesn’t know Second Brother at all! How would I know who she is?”

Gu Zheng looked at her with a smile. “Then why don’t you help me ask Young Master Luo? I really want to meet the Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor!”

Qiao Xi: “???”

At this moment, she was a little confused. Did Gu Zheng know her ident.i.ty or not?
