Chapter 197: Old Master Passed Out

Old Master Meng kept wiping his sweat and said with a flattering smile, “You must have heard wrong. Our two families have always been very close, and the Gu family has always been supporting the Meng family. How could we possibly want to cut ties with you? Where did you hear the rumors?”

Madam Meng also explained with a smile, “Gu Zheng, Wan Wan destroyed Miss Qiao’s flowers and plants. She already knows her mistake and came to apologize today. Wan Wan!”

Madam Meng waved her hand, and Meng Wan walked over shyly.

Gu Zheng’s expression was calm as he lazily sat on the sofa with his long legs crossed. His eyes were cold. “I’m not the one you should apologize to. Don’t the Meng family understand?”

Meng Wan looked aggrieved as she suppressed the anger in her heart.

Why should she apologize to Qiao Xi? Did Brother Gu Zheng have to be so vicious?

That b*tch was not worthy at all! If Qiao Xi had not interfered, she would have married Brother Gu Zheng long ago!

Meng Wan bit her lip and remained silent. Madam Meng quickly explained with a smile.

“Gu Zheng, Wan Wan was indeed in the wrong, but her car was also ruined. Let’s make things even. Don’t force her to apologize. She did it because she likes you too much.”

Madam Meng’s voice echoed in the living room, causing pin-drop silence.

Gu Zheng swept his gaze across the crowd and said casually, “Since that’s the case, then please leave.”

Everyone broke out in a cold sweat.

Meng Wan’s face was pale. Her lips were about to bleed.

She had taken the initiative to visit and apologize, but Gu Zheng was actually chasing her away? She had never been so wronged…

It was all because of that b*tch, Qiao Xi!

Meng Wan was burning with rage as she raised her eyes to look at Qiao Xi who was not far away. She then shouted madly, “Qiao Xi! It was definitely your idea! I’ve already lowered my head and paid a visit to apologize, so what else do you want? You’re really too much!”

Qiao Xi had an indifferent expression. Then, she pretended to be weak and asked, “I don’t think I heard you apologize, Miss Meng. Or did I not hear you? Why don’t you say it again, Miss Meng?”

Meng Wan’s entire body trembled, and her eyes were bloodshot. Qiao Xi was actually so shameless and even dared to ask for her apology?

She had already spared Qiao Xi enough dignity by coming to Longwan Residential. How could she still not let matters go?

Old Master Meng frowned and glared at her. “Miss Qiao, you know about the relationship between our two families, but ever since you married into the Gu family, the Gu family has gradually distanced itself from the Meng family. This time, you’ve even smashed more than ten cars of the Meng family for a few stalks of grass. Do you still want Wan Wan to kneel before you? Aren’t you being too willful?”

Qiao Xi sneered.

“Stalks of grass? Old Master Meng, do you think they were just a few stalks of grass?”

“I heard that the Meng family values upbringing very much. Then, may I ask if you don’t care that Meng Wan ignored the signboard and rushed into the backyard, deliberately damaging the herbs there? Are Meng Wan’s actions a reflection of the Meng family’s upbringing? Shouldn’t you be apologizing here?”

Old Master Meng was instantly speechless, and even his beard was quivering. “Miss Qiao, the Meng and Gu families are very close. Whether it’s in business or in private, we have deep connections with each other. You can’t influence Gu Zheng because of jealousy…”

“Influence Gu Zheng? In business, the Meng family has always relied on the Gu family. He was the one who gave the Meng family a company to raise you, a bunch of parasites. You should be the one lowering your heads. Why is it the other way round? It’s as if the Meng family has done a lot for the Gu family. Moreover, Old Master Meng, you’re not Gu Zheng’s elderly. Stop acting like it!”

After she said this, everyone from the Meng family glared at Qiao Xi angrily.

Qiao Xi was too detestable! What right did she have to represent Gu Zheng?

Wan Wan only did something wrong because she liked Gu Zheng. Why could Qiao Xi not let her off this time?

Old Master Meng’s face was livid as he clutched his chest. “You…”

“Butler, see the guests out,” Gu Zheng said coldly, his eyes filled with impatience.

“Yes.” The butler immediately gestured for everyone to leave.

Gu Zheng said unhurriedly, “This is my private residence. Don’t let just anyone in. If someone disregards your reminder and barges into my private residence, do what you can to stop them. I’ll bear the consequences!”

The people from the Meng family widened their eyes. Was Gu Zheng going to cut off all ties with them?

When had Old Master Meng ever suffered such humiliation? He clutched his chest with trembling hands and fainted.

“Dad!”

“Grandpa!”

The people from the Meng family hurriedly supported him while Meng Wan cried out, “Qiao Xi! You’re so vicious! You’ve angered my grandfather to the ground. What else do you want?”

Madam Meng looked sad. “I told you long ago not to let Old Master come. His body is weak and he can’t be agitated. Gu Zheng, are you really going to give up our years of relationship for Miss Qiao?”

Master Meng looked helpless. “Gu Zheng, the old master is an elder, after all. You can’t just treat him like this…”
