Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself Novel - Chapter 122

Chapter 122: This Woman Is A Little Hypocritical

Before Qiao Rou could figure it out, Qiao Xi’s fair fingers tapped on the coffee table. Her full lips were slightly parted, and her tone carried a trace of a complaint. “Is this the gentle and kind fiance you were talking about, Gu Moling? She doesn’t seem like much. She’s a little hypocritical…”

Qiao Rou was infuriated!

How could this woman say such things? What did she mean by ‘doesn’t seem like much’? What did she mean by ‘a little hypocritical’? Who did she think she was?!

Gu Moling frowned and pulled Qiao Rou to his side. He reminded her, “Miss, Rou Rou is kind enough to help you. It’s fine that you don’t appreciate her help, but there’s no need to step on her, right?”

Qiao Xi looked at him with a smile that was not a smile.

“You’re lecturing my people in my territory, yet you claim to be helping me out of goodwill?” Gu Zheng sneered, his gaze cold and dangerous. “I didn’t know that the two of you had the right to interfere in my matters? Gu Moling, have you forgotten about the Gu family’s upbringing?”

Gu Moling shuddered and stammered as he explained, “I-I didn’t do anything… Rou Rou, she… She just reminded this woman out of kindness. She knows that you don’t like women, so she…”

“I don’t like women?” Gu Zheng chuckled. “No matter how much I don’t like women, I can’t possibly not like my wife, right? The woman you brought is someone who was invited here as a guest. She doesn’t know anything but made the decision to kick my wife out. She’s really impressive.”

Gu Zheng’s voice was cold as the words he said hit Gu Moling and Qiao Rou’s hearts. “Butler, see the guests out.”

Gu Moling and Qiao Rou were stunned.

What did he mean by wife? That woman was actually Gu Zheng’s wife? Mrs. Gu?! How was that possible?!

He subconsciously wanted to deny it because he had not heard any news of Gu Zheng’s marriage at all. However, reason made him shut his mouth. The position of the head of the Gu family was unparalleled. No one could tell him what he wanted to do, including his marriage.

A woman who could live in Longwan Residential and be acknowledged by Gu Zheng himself, even if she had not registered her marriage with Gu Zheng and had not received the acknowledgment of the other members of the Gu family, meant that her status was not something someone from the branch family like him could compare to.

Qiao Rou was not as calm as Gu Moling. Rather, she had long been spoiled and did not know her limits. She retorted with a pale face, “How is that possible? How can she be Mrs. Gu?!”

Qiao Xi raised her head to look at her. “Why not?”

“Of course…”

Qiao Rou was about to say that it was impossible for Gu Zheng to like a woman like her. If he had to like anyone, it would be someone like her. However, before she could say anything, Gu Moling grabbed her hand. He was so strong that it hurt Qiao Rou and made her shut up.

Qiao Xi clicked her tongue, propped up her chin with one hand, and said lazily, “Miss Qiao Rou, you’re really interesting. Gu Zheng has already told you that I’m Mrs. Gu, yet you still said that it’s impossible. I’m quite curious about your thoughts? As soon as you entered, you reminded me to leave as though you’re the madam of the house… Are you coveting my position?”

Qiao Rou’s entire body trembled as cold sweat ceaselessly slid down her forehead. Every word Qiao Xi said hit the nail on the head. It was as if this woman could read minds and had completely revealed the thoughts in her heart. This woman was too terrifying!

This kind of woman was not suitable for Gu Zheng. She was the only one worthy of standing beside him!

Gu Moling was afraid that Gu Zheng would get angry and did not dare to provoke this woman with an unknown identity. He hurriedly explained, “Mrs. Gu, don’t be angry. Rou Rou did not mean that. She’s very kind. She really wanted to help you and was afraid that you’d be punished by the head of the family.”

“Wanted to help me?”

Qiao Xi giggled as if she had heard a joke. She wiped the tears of laughter from the corners of her eyes and raised her voice slightly. “It’s your greatest honor that Gu Zheng invited all of you here. Do the two of you even remember that you’re merely guests? And Miss Qiao Rou, the greed in your eyes has already exposed everything when you came in. You want to take over my position, right? You’re really quite awesome.”

Qiao Rou’s expression kept changing. She did not expect this woman to be so observant, but was it wrong for her to want to get promoted? People always wanted to climb higher. So what if she wanted to kick Gu Moling away after seeing Gu Zheng? This was all human nature!

Since she was able to snatch Gu Moling from Qiao Xi, she would definitely be able to snatch Gu Zheng from this woman! Therefore, this woman should not be smug for too long!

Gu Zheng was annoyed by their chatter. He sat beside Qiao Xi and rested his arm on the back of the sofa behind her. In a possessive manner, he said, “Why are you wasting time talking to them? If you don’t like them, get the butler to throw them out.”
