Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself Chapter 660 - I'll Protect You In The Future

Chapter 660: I’ll Protect You In The Future

Qin An did not say it directly. Qiao Xi asked in surprise, “Are you talking about the large family that lives in seclusion in the northern region?”

“Yes. Back then, my father’s business was very good, so he was invited to the northern region. He saw the big family that occupied the northern region with his own eyes. He also saw the ruby necklace at the banquet. This necklace is called ‘Heart of Rose’. I’m just not sure why this necklace is in Aunt Yunqiu’s belongings.”

Qiao Xi was extremely shocked.

Qin An continued, “I can’t find the origin of most of the other relics. Little Six, if I have any new information, I’ll call you again.”

Just as he was about to hang up, Qin An’s voice suddenly turned cold. “By the way, do you need me to help you deal with the Xu family? If I had known that Xu Anran was so troublesome, I would have gotten Second Brother to kill her back then!”

“Third Brother, don’t fight and kill for no reason. Murder is against the law,” Qiao Xi said casually. “Besides, do I need you to deal with them? I can fight them alone!”

The Xu family was so anxious about this inheritance probably because something had happened to the company. From the looks of it, they probably did not know that her mother had left behind a shocking amount of wealth. In other words, they did not know where this inheritance came from either. Perhaps even Old Madam Yin did not know.

So… what was Mom’s relationship with the family in the northern region? What was the secret behind this?

“Little Six, it’s Aunt Yunqiu’s death anniversary tomorrow. I’ll go visit her with you.”

In the past, every time she was sad, her brothers would accompany her. This time, she hesitated and could not help but look at the man behind her. Gu Zheng was sitting on the sofa with deep eyes and a gloomy expression.

Qiao Xi’s heart jerked as she hurriedly said, “There’s no need. There’s someone accompanying me.”

After hanging up, Qiao Xi turned around and walked to the man’s side. She saw that he had a cigarette between his fingers. His entire body was shrouded in smoke, and his eyes were filled with complicated emotions. His voice was hoa.r.s.e. “They’re bullying you. Why didn’t you look for me?”

Qiao Xi raised her eyes in surprise.

Gu Zheng blew out a smoke ring and said softly, “Perhaps I wouldn’t have cared about these things in the past, but from now on, you can look for me if you encounter any trouble.”

The man in the past was two-faced and did not treat her well, but he would treat Mrs. Gu well.

These past few days, Gu Zheng had often been deep in thought in the study. He was very sure that this man did not really like Qiao Xi. Otherwise, why would he watch as she was bullied but not help?!

She was a weak woman and had to face a family. How could she endure the rumors on the internet?

The thought of her crying miserably under the covers after being wronged made Gu Zheng feel annoyed. An inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.

He knew very well that he was not the real Gu Zheng. It was just that when Gu Zheng was bullied when he was young, an even stronger personality was born. He was born from the darkness. As Gu Zheng grew older and stronger, he no longer needed him.

He was extremely surprised that he was able to wake up this time. He did not know how long he would be able to survive this time, but as long as he was around, he had to protect Qiao Xi from harm.

Gu Zheng looked at the woman in front of him with a complicated gaze and said in a low voice, “Don’t be afraid, I’ll help you.”

Qiao Xi’s phone suddenly rang. It was a message from Ling Pavilion. After she saw it, she directly deleted the message and said, “I’m going to the Xu family’s house tomorrow.”

“Mhm, I’ll go with you.”

Qiao Xi felt that Gu Zheng was very loyal today like a pure little puppy. This feeling seemed to be quite good.

Her eyes were filled with smiles. “Ah Zheng, don’t worry about me.”

Gu Zheng was even more upset. She was the one who was bullied, yet she still had to comfort him. This woman was really hopelessly stupid!

He got up from the sofa and approached her. He happened to hear her thoughts.

‘He’s so nice!

‘Even though he… He’s still so good to me. He’s so good to me that I want to cry.’

Gu Zheng did not hear what was said in the middle and only heard a few words. He roughly understood Qiao Xi’s meaning. She was very grateful to him.

…

The next day.

Xia Yunlou had sent invitations to all the wealthy families in Li City to invite everyone to the Xu family’s banquet.

Xu Anran’s excuse was that Xia Yunlou had been a little depressed recently. Her biological daughter was unwilling to return to the Xu family, nor was she willing to return Xia Yunqiu’s belongings. They were also unable to contact Qiao Xi. For the sake of coaxing Xia Yunlou, they invited everyone to the Xu family’s house to have tea and chat to relieve the depression in their hearts.
