Chapter 82: Is This Your Husband?

Hearing Qiao Zhenguo’s words, Qiao Rou’s chest rose and fell. Tears flowed out of her eyes, and her makeup was ruined.

Only then did Qin An smile. “President Qiao, you’re indeed wise. You haven’t been bewitched by your mistress and your illegitimate daughter. Our collaboration can still continue. It just so happens that I’m going to the Meng family as well. I’ll bring the Qiao family’s eldest daughter along. I like to hang out with people who have proper status. As for the Qiao family’s second daughter…”

He paused for a moment and continued, “President Qiao, you just said that these two cars belong to Qiao Xi. In other words, Qiao Rou doesn’t have a car… Since she doesn’t have a car, she can walk to the Meng family’s banquet. The venue of the Meng family’s banquet isn’t far from here, right, President Qiao?”

How could Qiao Zhenguo not understand the threat in Qin An’s words? Since he had already decided to appease Qin An, he could only wrong Rou Rou for the time being. He gritted his teeth and nodded. “President Qin, you’re very reasonable. Rou Rou, walk to the Meng family’s banquet yourself!”

“Dad!” Qiao Rou shouted in disbelief.

Qin An ignored them and directly stretched out his hand to Qiao Xi in a gesture of invitation. “Eldest Miss Qiao, please.”

Qiao Xi smiled as she bid farewell to Qiao Rou and the others. “Sister, I’m sorry, but you have to walk to the Meng family’s banquet yourself. My heart hurts when I think about how you have to walk there, but Dad has already spoken, so I can’t plead for you. Sigh… I hope you can reincarnate well in your next life. I already told you that being an illegitimate daughter isn’t easy.”

The car drove off. Qiao Rou finally could not help but fall to the ground and cry loudly.

Qiao Zhenguo’s heart ached even more. “Rou Rou, you have to be strong. I have to take the overall situation into consideration. You can only suffer for now. When President Qin’s funds are in place, we’ll chase Qiao Xi out of the company and I’ll let you vent your anger! At that time, the entire Qiao family, including the position of the Qiao family’s eldest daughter, will be yours. That car will also be yours. Be good and stop crying.”

…

When they were still a distance away from the Meng family’s banquet, the car Qin An and Qiao Xi were in was suddenly stopped.

He frowned. “Who dares to stop my car? Do you want to die?”

At this moment, Qiao Xi, who was playing with her phone in the front passenger seat, seemed to have sensed something and looked up. Her expression instantly froze.

Gu Zheng was wearing a black trench coat as he leaned against the railing outside. He lazily waved to Qiao Xi. “Mrs. Gu, what a coincidence.”

Qiao Xi almost suffocated.

Gu Zheng adjusted his sleeves, then took out a pair of gloves from his pocket and slowly put them on. He bent down and knocked on the window of the front passenger seat. “Mrs. Gu, you’re in a good mood. You agreed to go to the Meng family’s banquet with me, but you got into another man’s car?”

Qin An recognized this person at a glance. His expression changed from surprise to puzzlement to shock. Then, his expression was calm again. He raised his hand and patted Qiao Xi’s shoulder. “Little Six, is this your husband?”

Qiao Xi: “…”

Gu Zheng glanced at his hand that was on Qiao Xi’s shoulder and greeted indifferently, “Mr. Qin.”

Perhaps it was because the strong were attracted to each other, Qin An’s first impression of Gu Zheng was very good. Most importantly, Little Six had chosen this man herself. He liked whoever Little Six liked.

Qin An revealed a friendly smile. “Mr. Gu.” Then, he turned to Qiao Xi and said, “Little Six, you have good taste. This Mr. Gu is your fiance who appears and disappears unpredictably.”

The smile on Gu Zheng’s face grew wider.

Yes, he was her dead fiance. How pleasant to hear.

Qin An did not know why Gu Zheng was still hostile toward him even though he had already given a friendly signal. After some thought, he felt that Gu Zheng might be jealous of his relationship with Little Six, but there was nothing he could do. After all, he and Little Six had known each other for a long time.

However, he did not express his superiority in front of Gu Zheng. Instead, he tactfully suggested, “Little Six, go take Mr. Gu’s car. I don’t have an invitation letter with me. I’ll appear during the critical moment.”

Gu Zheng sneered and pulled Qiao Xi out of the car.

Qin An: “…”

He could now confirm that Gu Zheng was very hostile toward him, but why?! Just because he was close to Little Six?! This man was too jealous, right?!

Qiao Xi followed Gu Zheng into the car and kept having a bad feeling.

Gu Zheng’s hands were on the steering wheel, but he had no intention of starting the car. Qiao Xi obediently sat in the front passenger seat and did not rush him. Finally, Gu Zheng could not help but look at her. “Mrs. Gu, are you very close to Mr. Qin?”

Qiao Xi: “…” Was this revenge?
