Qiao Xi's face was filled with anger. "The Meng family has always made unreasonable requests because they saved the old master's life once. Why are you still enduring it?"
She really did not understand. With Gu Zheng's domineering character, why would he let the Meng family create trouble in his territory?
If it were anyone else, Gu Zheng would have long made them disappear from this world!
Gu Zheng's eyes were slightly cold, and his voice was a little hoarse. "There are some things that can't be explained clearly."
Qiao Xi looked confused. Then, she remembered that Song Shiyu had said that the president only tolerated the Meng family's coercion and allowed them to spread the news that Meng Wan was Mrs. Gu because Old Master Meng was threatening Gu Zheng to marry Meng Wan with someone's belongings.
That day, he appeared at the Civil Affairs Bureau not because he really wanted to marry Meng Wan but because he wanted to get the relics.
What kind of relics could make the always decisive Gu Zheng endure this silently? What kind of relics could make the Meng family take advantage of him?
"You don't have to worry. Everything is under my control," Gu Zheng said casually.
Qiao Xi was filled with doubts and wanted to know what difficulties Gu Zheng had.
However, at the thought that they were not a true couple and would get a divorce when the time was right, it would not be good for her to know too many of his secrets. It was fine if he did not want to tell her.
Moreover, he clearly did not want her to know.
Qiao Xi lowered her eyes and turned around to leave helplessly.
As soon as she left, Song Shiyu ran out, looking confused. "President, why didn't you tell the truth? Haven't you been tolerating them because of Young Madam's belongings? You went to the Civil Affairs Bureau because you wanted to meet her..."
Gu Zheng said in a self-deprecating manner, "Should I let her know that I didn't go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to marry Meng Wan but it was premeditated?"
Song Shiyu nodded.
Previously, President Gu had been hiding it from Young Madam because the timing was not right. Now that their relationship was getting more intimate, it was time to tell her. This way, Young Madam would know the president's intentions and not always scold him for being a bastard.
Song Shiyu thought that he was already worried sick about the president's love life.
However, Gu Zheng remained calm. "Let's not tell her first. I'm afraid she'll be too happy if she finds out."
The smile on Song Shiyu's face froze as he rubbed his ears ."..." Happy?
'My dear president, what is wrong with you?'
Young Madam had always thought that the president went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to marry Meng Wan and that marrying her was just an accident.
She would never have thought that this was a secret plan by the president. If she found out, it was hard to tell whether she would be happy or angry.
Song Shiyu looked serious. "President, I think you..."
Gu Zheng looked up indifferently. "Song Shiyu, you won't be able to keep your salary if you say another word."
The corners of Song Shiyu's mouth twitched. The thought of his salary being deducted to zero made him say nonchalantly, "If you tell Young Madam, she won't be happy at all because she doesn't like you. You and she are just husband and wife in name..."
Gu Zheng glared at him. "We were only husband and wife in name in the past. Now, Qiao Xi already likes me very much. If I tell her that I've been wanting to marry her for a long time, she'll definitely be very happy. Moreover, it's a fact that Mrs. Gu likes me. I don't have to tell her such boring things."
Song Shiyu: "??"
The president was too narcissistic!
Why didn't he know that Young Madam liked the president? The president was too good at making things up!
Song Shiyu said earnestly, "President, one has to face the truth. Since when does Young Madam like you? You're just a bastard in her eyes. You have to change yourself, or at least get rid of your title as a bastard!
"If you tell Young Madam the truth, although she might not be happy, at least she'll know how you feel. She'll definitely think highly of you. Don't keep living in your dreams and thinking too much. You can never change your image in Young Madam's eyes... Huh? President! I'm not done talking yet!"
Song Shiyu stomped his feet. Why couldn't the president just tell the truth?!
After Gu Zheng left, Song Shijing walked over with a frown. "You and the president... talk like this?"
Song Shiyu said that the president was delusional and that he was a bastard. He indeed deserved to have his salary deducted!
Song Shiyu, on the other hand, nodded confidently. "I'm doing this for the president's own good. Young Madam keeps calling him a bastard. I think the president is a bastard too. Don't you think so?"
Song Shijing: "..."
Actually, Song Shiyu should not be getting paid at all.
How did Song Shiyu, who had always been obedient to the president, become so arrogant?
Could it be that Qiao Xi had really changed them?
Young Madam often said that the president was a bastard. Even so, the president never got angry and Song Shiyu even learned from this.
What had the president been through in the past few months?
...
In the bedroom.
Qin An sent a message: [The news that Gu Zheng has Jinchuan Grass has already spread, but he doesn't have any at all. Isn't it inappropriate for you to be doing this?]
