Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself Chapter 66 - Sew Your Mouth Shut

Chapter 66: Sew Your Mouth Shut

Under the gazes of everyone, Gu Zheng walked over to Qiao Xi’s side with unhurried steps and naturally held her hand.

Qiao Xi was puzzled.

The first time she saw Meng Wan, she had wondered why Gu Zheng ever agreed to the marriage with the Meng family. Could it be that it was really because of Old Master Gu’s coercion? However, Gu Zheng did not look like a good child who would blindly listen to his family’s arrangements… Now that she heard Gu Zheng say this, Qiao Xi understood. The person Gu Zheng was waiting for at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau was not Meng Wan!

Then… Who was the person Gu Zheng was really waiting for that day at the Civil Affairs Bureau?

Meng Wan’s face was pale. “Brother Gu Zheng, Aunt Lan and I were just joking with Miss Qiao. I… I didn’t really mean to chase her away.”

Gu Zheng said, “Don’t call me brother. I don’t have a sister as shameless as you.”

Qiao Xi: “…”

‘You clearly liked it when I called you Brother Gu Zheng not long ago. Men are indeed fickle-minded!’

Meng Wan’s expression was very ugly. She moved her lips and put on a smile that was uglier than her crying face. “Alright, alright.”

When Madam Gu saw that Meng Wan was being bullied so pitifully, she pointed at Qiao Xi fiercely. “Do you think you have a backer now that Gu Zheng is here? You’re starting to bully Meng Wan so brazenly, huh? How can there be such a vicious woman like you in the world?!”

Qiao Xi smiled. Was she not the one getting bullied right now?

Gu Zheng was the one who said it, but she would take the blame?

Qiao Xi hated being the scapegoat the most in her life. She slightly straightened her body and crossed her arms over her chest. Her aura was strong. “Madam Gu, I suspect that you didn’t bring your brain with you when you left the house today, so you failed to see that the person who scolded Meng Wan is your biological son who’s next to me. Also, I don’t know where you heard the news that I’m indecent and I seduced Gu Zheng.”

Madam Gu was fl.u.s.tered and exasperated. “Isn’t it obvious? You’re poor. You’re just a poor country b.u.mpkin who hopes to marry a rich person to enter the upper cla.s.s society!”

Qiao Xi slowly nodded. “Oh, I see…” She slowly raised her eyes to look at Madam Gu. “But I remember that you came from a small family, right? You seem to owe quite a bit of money back then… According to your logic… You married into the Gu family for money back then and shamelessly became someone else’s mistress?”

The entire living room fell silent.

Madam Gu was so angry that her entire body was trembling. She pointed at Qiao Xi and shouted in a sharp voice, “Y-You s.l.u.t! Who gave you the right to speak to me like this?!”

“What’s wrong? Am I wrong? Or do you think you’re a white lotus that can’t be tainted by mud?”

Madam Gu’s face turned red, and she smashed the cup beside her. “Gu Zheng, are you just going to watch this b*tch talk to me like this? Don’t forget that I’m your mother!”

Mother?

Gu Zheng lowered his eyes. Was this kind of woman worthy of being a mother? She beat and scolded him since he was young like a crazy woman. When he was still a kid, she had even tried to drown him and strangle him. She often cursed him to die a horrible death.

After he became the current head of the Gu family, she began to control him again. She ordered him around in the name of being his mother and even pretended to ask about his well-being.

Was such a hypocritical and selfish woman worthy of being his mother?

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Meng Wan hurriedly went to Madam Gu’s side and said, “Aunt Lan, forget it… It’s really okay. I don’t have to live with Brother Gu Zheng.”

As she spoke, she suddenly sighed and looked at Qiao Xi. She said with an envious expression, “Miss Qiao, I’m actually very envious of you. You made Brother Gu Zheng like you in a short period of time… While I’m just an insignificant playmate.”

She seemed to be backing down, but she was actually adding fuel to the fire.

Madam Gu doted on Meng Wan very much. When she saw Meng Wan’s extremely lonely look, her anger grew even more. She wanted Gu Zheng to like Meng Wan, but Gu Zheng liked Qiao Xi, this unpresentable woman who came back from the countryside. He did not take his mother seriously at all. This was a blatant slap to her face!

Meng Wan was still sighing. “It’s my fault that I couldn’t make Brother Gu Zheng like me… I know that it’s wrong, but I still can’t let go of Brother Gu Zheng… Sob, what should I do? I really like Brother Gu Zheng.”

Gu Zheng’s gaze was cold. “Call me brother again and I’ll sew your mouth shut.”

Qiao Xi: “…”

Meng Wan :”…”

Meng Wan’s tears were still welled up in her eyes. Her unblemished appearance made her look quite pitiful. Unfortunately, Gu Zheng’s expression did not change at all. The words he said were extremely cold. “Miss Meng, if you insult my wife again, your Meng family should be prepared to go bankrupt.”
