Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself Chapter 147 - Love Is Too Scary

Chapter 147: Love Is Too Scary

Shen Ying had an excited expression. “Qiao Xi, you’re not allowed to leave. You haven’t given up Mrs. Gu’s position yet, so you’re not allowed to leave! Do you think you can really get Brother Gu Zheng’s heart? Look at you, you’ve been suppressed by us for so long. Has Brother Gu Zheng come to look for you? He doesn’t love you at all!”

Qiao Xi’s footsteps paused slightly, but it was only for a second before she took another step forward.

Shen Ying sneered. “Qiao Xi, not only am I asking you to apologize today, but I also want you to get the h.e.l.l out of the Gu family!”

Suddenly, there was a loud bang behind Qiao Xi.

Qiao Xi subconsciously turned around and saw Shen Ying lying on the floor with blood flowing from her forehead. Her clothes were quickly drenched by the blood, and she stared at Qiao Xi with a pleading gaze. “Miss Qiao, can you let me off… I was wrong. I shouldn’t have fought with you for Brother Gu Zheng. I shouldn’t have argued with you. You said I was a mistress, so I’m a mistress. Please let me live, okay?”

The servants heard the noise and quickly broke in.

“Miss Shen, are you alright?” The servants helped Shen Ying up in a panic. She was Madam Gu’s distinguished guest. If she was injured in the Gu family, wouldn’t they be implicated as well?

Madam w.a.n.g rushed in as well. “Shen Ying, are you okay?! Qiao Xi, you d.a.m.ned woman! Are you so jealous of Shen Ying that you hurt her? How can there be such a vicious woman like you in the world?!”

Shen Ying’s face was covered in blood, and her lips were extremely pale. “Aunt, I’m fine. Don’t blame Miss Qiao. It’s all my fault. It’s all my fault…”

One of the servants, who was afraid of implicating herself, quickly berated, “Miss Qiao, Madam asked you to come over to apologize to Miss Shen, not to hurt her. Now that Miss Shen has been injured because of you, just wait. She’ll definitely punish you!”

Qiao Xi looked at the wound on Shen Ying’s forehead. Qiao Xi knew that this woman was framing her, but she did not even show any mercy to herself. Her wound was bleeding heavily.

Was it really worth it to torture herself like this for a man?

Before she could continue thinking about it, Madam w.a.n.g was already crying. “Capture that b*tch Qiao Xi and bring her to the Gu family for punishment! I want to take revenge for our Shen Ying!”

Qiao Xi saw the proud glow in Shen Ying’s eyes, then looked at the furious Madam w.a.n.g. She had to say that Shen Ying’s actions and the way Madam w.a.n.g was standing by her side and unconditionally believing her were truly vexing.

She knew that whether she had hurt Shen Ying today or not, they would try their best to pin the blame on her. Even if she explained that she was not the one who did it, these people would never listen. They only believed what they wanted to believe.

Hence, Qiao Xi simply did not explain herself as she did not want to waste her breath on them.

Most importantly, she did not know why Shen Ying would do such a thing to hurt her own body. Both Qiao Rou and Shen Ying were willing to risk their lives to get the man they liked. They did not hesitate to hurt their bodies to frame others. Could such actions be called love?

If this behavior represented love, then wasn’t love too scary?

Qiao Xi was escorted to a dark room by the servants. When Madam w.a.n.g saw the wound on Shen Ying’s forehead, she was about to faint from heartache. She naturally did not see the proud smile on Shen Ying’s face.

In the dark room, Qiao Xi nonchalantly sized up her surroundings. A small dark room naturally could not trap her. In the dark room where she could not even see her own hands, she took out her phone and got past the blocked network signal in the dark room.

She held her phone and hesitated to contact Gu Zheng… Actually, it was fine if she did not look for Gu Zheng since she could get out of here herself. She was thinking about why she would think of Gu Zheng the moment she encountered a problem. This was a very bad habit.

Thinking about this, Qiao Xi tapped open her third brother’s profile picture. She processed a few doc.u.ments that had yet to be done. She needed to work to calm her mind. She must have been too free recently and had been hanging around Gu Zheng, so she would think of him no matter what happened.

…

The news that Qiao Xi had pushed Shen Ying to the floor spread throughout the Gu family.

Song Shiyu’s breathing trembled. “President Gu, Madam has been locked in the dark room. Madam Gu wants to punish her!”

Gu Zheng abruptly raised his hand to signal for the video conference to stop. He quickly walked out. “Qiao Xi is still in the dark room?”

“Yes, after I received the news, I got someone to bring Madam out of the dark room. President Gu, you…”

“I’ll go get her myself.”

Gu Zheng did not know what was going on. When he heard that Qiao Xi was locked in the dark room, he felt as if his heart was being squeezed by a large hand and he could not breathe.
