Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself Novel - Chapter 524

Chapter 524 Exposing Family Scandals

Song Shiyu was trembling. He was really sacrificing too much for the president’s happiness. Everything he said was true. He was like a loyal eunuch beside the ancient emperor. After saying this, he closed his eyes as though he was ready to face death.

Unexpectedly, Gu Zheng smiled. Song Shiyu’s heart skipped a beat. The president’s smile only made things worse. He was already mourning for himself, but Gu Zheng nodded affirmatively.

“You’re right.

“I do have to work hard. How can I let another man enter my wife’s room?”

Song Shiyu: “?”

Before he could say anything, Gu Zheng stood up and left. He stood there and looked at Gu Zheng’s back view in a daze. His president was finally enlightened.

An hour later.

Qiao Xi slowly opened her eyes. The curtains were blocked. The room was very dark, but Qiao Xi still spotted a tall man standing by the bed.

“Ah Zheng?”

Gu Zheng’s voice was hoarse. “Yes.”

Qiao Xi reached out to switch on the bedside lamp and sized him up under the light. Indeed, his eyes were gray, dim, and empty.

Her heart ached as she asked in surprise, “The curtains are drawn. Why are you here?”

Qiao Xi knew that the dark environment would affect Gu Zheng’s eyes. Hence, wherever he went, the place had to always be bright. The servants in Longwan Residential were also very tactful. As long as Gu Zheng appeared, they would turn on the brightest lights.

Qiao Xi’s heart ached. “You can’t see. You don’t have to come in to accompany me.”

Song Shiyu stood at the door, looking excited. ‘President! Young Madam must be very touched now. Tell her that even though you can’t see anything, you insist on accompanying her!’

Gu Zheng said, “I… I just came in. I’m fine.”

Song Shiyu: “…”

Qiao Xi hurriedly got up and pulled open the curtains. Gu Zheng closed his eyes to calm himself down for a while. When he opened them again, his eyes gradually recovered their clarity. “Shen Yu asked me to give you this.”

Qiao Xi took it. There was a tablet in her bag that was connected to the cameras in the banquet hall. She could see everything that was happening at the banquet.

At this moment, all the guests had arrived and were sitting at their designated seats. There were only a few people who were invited to the banquet this time, so the empty seats were obvious.

After Madam Shen sat down, she glanced around and coldly glanced at the Xu family. She sneered.

“Mr. Xu, Madam Xu, this is your first time attending the Shen family’s banquet, right? I heard that the Xu family has two daughters. Why is there only one with you?” Everyone’s gazes fell on the three of them. Xu Zhi could not say that Qiao Xi was trying to please Gu Zheng, so he said helplessly, “Xi Xi is young and a little playful. I don’t know where she went off to play. Madam Shen, please don’t take offense. I’ll get her to apologize to you another day.” Madam Shen’s slender fingers tapped the table lightly. “I heard that she’s the biological daughter of the Xu family who was previously missing for many years. Madam Xu, how could you not keep an eye on your daughter? She disappeared right after the banquet started.”

Xia Yunlou’s expression was ugly as she replied nervously, “Madam Shen, I want to take good care of this daughter of mine as well, but… she’s really a little naughty. After all, she grew up in the countryside and hasn’t seen much of the world. She doesn’t know the rules of high society, so I don’t know where she went. Madam Shen, please don’t lower yourself to her level. I’ll definitely teach her well.”

Qiao Xi held the tablet and could not help but sneer. Any normal person would know that family scandals could not be made public, but in order to slander her reputation, Madam Xu actually said in public that her daughter grew up in the countryside and was naughty.

The entire banquet hall instantly fell silent.

Everyone looked at the Xu family awkwardly. Then, they could not help but whisper and look at the Xu family as though they were looking at fools.

During the Shen family’s banquet, Madam Xu said that the daughter of the Shen family did not know etiquette and was a country bumpkin. She even said that she was naughty and mischievous?

Was there something wrong with the Xu couple? Were they openly challenging Madam Shen’s patience?

Madam Shen said, “Oh, I see. So, it’s Miss Xu who doesn’t know how to appreciate others’ kindness? She came to attend the Shen family’s banquet but is wandering around. Now that the banquet has started, she’s nowhere to be seen.”

Xia Yunlou hurriedly nodded. “Madam Shen, you’re right. She doesn’t know how to appreciate others’ kindness. Although… she’s my biological daughter, she’s completely unlike the children of our Xu family. Her behavior is crude, and she doesn’t look like a socialite at

all!”
