Chapter 552 Is My Life Worth 20 Million?
Qiao Xi was only thinking about Yao ngqing poisoning her earlier and actually forgot to maintain her image. She did not expect her image of a weak lady to collapse so quickly. Qiao Xi smiled awkwardly. “Heh… Heh, Ah Zheng, this…”
“Mrs. Gu.” Gu Zheng smiled aningfully. “I already know everything about you. It’s just that I never say anything.”
Qiao Xi: “…”
This bastard knew too much.
The man looked at her dazed expression and smiled. He carried her into the ranch’s lounge.
On the other hand.
Smack!
Lu Yan slapped Yao ngqing hard. A red handprint imdiately appeared on her smooth cheek.
“Yao ngqing, 5% of the Lu family’s shares have been lost. How are we going to settle this score?!”
Yao ngqing endured the pain, suppressing the anger and unwillingness in her heart. She forcefully squeezed out a smile. “Young Master Lu, we’re in a cooperative relationship. You want Qiao Xi, and I want Ah Zheng. The 5% shares are given to your sweetheart. It’s not a loss for you.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Yan suddenly reached out and grabbed her chin.
Yao ngqing frowned in pain. “Lu Yan…”
“Miss Yao, since you know that Qiao Xi is my woman, who gave you the guts to poison her? Are you tired of living?!”
Hearing this, Yao ngqing could not help but tremble.
The corners of Lu Yan’s mouth curled up into a bloodthirsty smile. His hands moved down from her chin and landed on her smooth neck. “I’ve already warned you not to hurt Qiao Xi. Miss Yao, did you ignore my words?” “Let go…” Yao ngqing felt a sharp pain in her neck as he strangled her. Her eyes were filled with horror. “I didn’t… I didn’t hurt her. You have the antidote. She won’t die. Just save her…”
Smack!
Lu Yan raised his hand and slapped her again.
“Yao ngqing, don’t you know that there’s a saying that ugly people cause trouble? If you dare attack Qiao Xi again, don’t bla for being rciless!”
Yao ngqing’s eyes were filled with resentnt, but she did not dare to go against Lu Yan.
However, she was unwilling to accept it. What right did Lu Yan have to insult her like this? In what way was she inferior to Qiao Xi?
That was right. She was jealous of Qiao Xi. She was unwilling to accept this. Qiao Xi was just a country bumpkin, while she was the daughter of the Yao family and Ah Zheng’s childhood sweetheart. What right did Gu Zheng have to marry her? His heart was filled with her!
Lu Yan still had the cheek to say that about her. He was jealous of Gu Zheng because Gu Zheng was the head of the Gu family. Gu Zheng was also a famous rich businessman in Li City. Moreover, whether it was his status, appearance, or reputation, Gu Zheng was a hundred tis better than him.
Even Lu Yan’s sweetheart, Qiao Xi, had married Gu Zheng. He was jealous of Gu Zheng, yet he looked down on her for being jealous of Qiao Xi. What kind of logic was this?
Not allowing her to deal with Qiao Xi? Unfortunately, it was too late.
Yao ngqing lowered her head as the corners of her mouth curled up into a sinister smile. Even if she couldn’t poison Qiao Xi to death this ti, she would still hire the top assassins in the world to assassinate Qiao Xi after this. Qiao Xi would definitely die.
Longwan Residential.
Qiao Xi had just returned ho when she received a call.
When she saw the number on it, she was slightly stunned. She then waved at Gu Zheng behind her. “Ah Zheng, I… I’ll go upstairs first!”
Gu Zheng glanced at her and nodded indifferently.
Qiao Xi anxiously returned to her room and closed the door. She hurriedly picked up the phone and said in a low voice, “Didn’t I say not to call if there’s nothing going on? Do you wish to have killed?!”
The other party was stunned for a mont, then said while trembling, “Eldest Miss, we’ve just received an offer. That person is willing to pay 20 million to have us kill soone.”
Qiao Xi frowned unhappily. “Our Ling Pavilion used to be an assassin organization, but this kind of livelihood isn’t a long-term solution. I’ve already said that you’re not allowed to take on such jobs in the future. Why do you have to earn a living like this?”
“No… No, Eldest Miss…” the other party stamred.
Qiao Xi instructed, “You can’t accept jobs like this. This is to avoid attracting trouble.”
“Eldest Miss, what I want to say is that you’re the person’s target!”
The air fell silent.
The person on the other end of the phone thought that Qiao Xi was angry. Unexpectedly, Qiao Xi casually said, “My life… is only worth 20 million?”
