Chapter 67: Gu Zheng Is An Illegitimate Child?
Qiao Xi instinctively glanced at him.
Was this man… defending her?
ng Wan’s expression froze.
Madam Gu roared in anger, “Gu Zheng, what are you talking about?! ng Wan is your fiance. In the future, the ng family will only get closer to us. You actually want to make the ng family go bankrupt for that b*tch Qiao Xi? Have you gone mad?! Qiao Xi is a mistress!”
“Madam Gu, did my warning hold no effect on you?” Gu Zheng said impatiently, “You keep saying that Qiao Xi is the third party while putting yourself on the moral high ground. Have you forgotten your dark history of infuriating the first wife to death back then?”
“You’re clearly a mistress yet you act as though you hate mistresses the most and want them to die… It’s making think that my mory is wrong. I’m even starting to forget that you, Madam Gu, is a mistress yourself.”
The air fell into a deadly silence.
Qiao Xi could not help but widen her eyes. Madam Gu was a mistress? Then Gu Zheng…
Madam Gu’s fingers trembled slightly. “You bastard! You’re calling a mistress, but what are you if I’m a mistress?! An unpresentable illegitimate child?!”
Gu Zheng’s eyes turned cold. “I’m indeed an illegitimate child, so I’ve never thought of getting things that don’t belong to . However, Madam Gu and Miss ng don’t seem to understand this logic.”
Qiao Xi never expected that a re quarrel would involve the old grudges of the Gu family from many years ago. Madam Gu almost could not stand still anymore. She felt waves of dizziness as she staggered back a step and fell onto the sofa. Seeing this, ng Wan panicked. “Brother Gu Zheng… No, Young Master Gu, don’t talk to Aunt Lan like this. Aunt Lan is just too concerned about you so things beca ssy…”
“Butler, see the guests out.”
Gu Zheng did not even look at ng Wan as he got the butler to see them out and shut the door in their faces.
Madam Gu was so angry that her whole body was trembling after her son chased her out of the villa. Although ng Wan despised Madam Gu for being incapable of letting her stay in the villa, she knew that she could only rely on her now. Hence, she comforted her in a low voice.
“Aunt Lan, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have any fantasies about Brother Gu Zheng. I know that he’s already married, but I still want to be with him. I… I just can’t accept him abandoning and getting married just like that… However, things have already been done. I’ve tried my best, but Brother Gu Zheng’s attitude toward … What should I do, Aunt Lan? I don’t think I can be your daughter-in-law anymore.”
ng Wan beca more and more upset as she spoke. Her tone grew increasingly agitated as well. “Aunt Lan, I don’t want to interfere in Brother Gu Zheng’s marriage. I don’t want to be a mistress. I just want to know why Brother Gu Zheng chose Miss Qiao and gave up on .”
Madam Gu’s eyes were sinister. “Don’t worry, ng Wan. You’ll never be a mistress. You’re the daughter-in-law I’ve acknowledged and only you will be my daughter-in-law. The position of Mrs. Gu has only been temporarily snatched away by that b*tch, Qiao Xi. You’ll snatch it back sooner or later.”
ng Wan shook her head and cried. “I can’t take it back. Miss Qiao can throw caution to the wind and be shaless, but I can’t… I can’t ruin their marriage… I can wait until they get a divorce. I can wait for Brother Gu Zheng.”
ng Wan was full of sches.
Her engagent with Gu Zheng had all been a lie. Gu Zheng did not appear at the Civil Affairs Bureau for her that day, but no one else besides Gu Zheng and her knew about this matter. As long as she insisted that she was Gu Zheng’s fiance and she did not appear at the Civil Affairs Bureau that day only because she wanted to test whether Gu Zheng loved her or not, then Qiao Xi’s identity as a mistress would be established!
Madam Gu was indignant. “That Qiao Xi is just a disgusting vixen. How can she compare to you? Don’t worry, ng Wan. You’ll definitely be my daughter-in-law. I’ll definitely help you snatch back your position as Mrs. Gu!”
ng Wan cried and said, “Aunt Lan, I don’t care. You know that I don’t care about these things. The only thing I’m afraid of is that the public will laugh at Brother Gu Zheng when they find out about this. After all, Miss Qiao isn’t from the upper class society, and she has never learned the etiquette of the upper class society. I’m afraid that she’ll bring sha to Brother Gu Zheng, and I’m also afraid that she’ll bring trouble to him… Brother Gu Zheng is already tired from managing the company. It wasn’t easy for him to finally marry a wife, so he should be with soone who can share his burden with him. Unexpectedly, marriage has made him have a greater burden.”
As ng Wan observed Madam Gu’s expression, she choked and said, “Aunt Lan, why don’t you help Miss Qiao? Get her a etiquette teacher to teach her about the upper class society. No matter how Brother Gu Zheng treats you, he’s still your son. You can’t just watch him be laughed at by others.”
When Madam Gu heard this, she was even angrier. At the sa ti, she lanted that ng Wan was still the most sensible. She patted ng Wan’s hand. “n Wan, you’re the most considerate.”
