Chapter 196: A Visit To Apologize
Qiao Xi asked, “Third Brother, do you have Jinchuan Grass?”
Qin An looked puzzled. “How could I have Jinchuan Grass? This has always been a precious item. Besides, why do you want so much Jinchuan Grass?”
Qiao Xi was slightly disappointed.
Qin An was full of curiosity. “Is it because of Gu Zheng? Little Six, this is the first time I’ve seen you so interested in a man.”
Qiao Xi’s gaze appeared panicked as she immediately denied it. “You’re thinking too much.”
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Xi ceaselessly wondered if she had fallen for Gu Zheng too deeply.
…
At this moment, Gu Zheng was lazily leaning against the sofa with his eyes closed. He asked casually, “The Meng family is spreading rumors online and slandering my wife?”
Song Shiyu said carefully, “They said that you abandoned Miss Meng and got married to Young Madam. Now, for grass, you even cut ties with the Meng family. In short, it’s all Young Madam’s fault…”
Gu Zheng’s expression was calm as he nodded. “Alright.”
Then, he pointed at the contract on the table. “In that case, let’s cancel the contract altogether.”
Song Shiyu gasped. The Meng family must have angered the president after slandering Young Madam online.
“Where’s Young Madam?”
Song Shiyu replied immediately, “She’s still cleaning up the grass in the backyard. Why does Young Madam care so much about the grass? Even if it’s crushed, she can always grow it again. Could it be that the grass is really precious…”
Gu Zheng abruptly stood up and went to the backyard to look for Qiao Xi.
At this moment, she had placed the crushed herbs neatly on the floor. Gu Zheng asked, “Do you really care so much about these herbs?”
Qiao Xi remained silent. Ever since she found out that there was something wrong with Gu Zheng’s eyes, she had started growing Jinchuan Grass.
She took out the seeds that she treasured and took good care of the seedlings every day. They finally grew, and she wanted to help Gu Zheng detoxify the poison. However, they were all ruined by Meng Wan!
“The servants guarding the backyard have already been punished…” He suddenly choked and felt a little flustered. He comforted her gently, saying, “Don’t be sad. ”
Qiao Xi said indifferently, “Forget it, it’s not the servants’ fault. Meng Wan drove in. It’s not like they could stop her with their bodies.”
In short, Meng Wan had to pay the price for this!
…
From that day onward, the Meng family’s business was extremely poor. Their partners canceled their contracts one after another, and the company was filled with anxiety.
Old Master Meng frowned deeply and slammed the table. “Let’s go! To Longwan Residential!”
Originally, he wanted to bring Meng Wan there to apologize, but after thinking about it, he still felt that it was inappropriate. With Qiao Xi’s identity, she was utterly unworthy of their Meng family’s apology. As long as Gu Zheng’s anger subsided, this matter would be easily resolved.
Gu Zheng could not completely cut ties with the Meng family because of a woman.
It was just that everything was out of their control now, and no one dared to offend Gu Zheng. Hence, everyone was cutting ties with the Meng family.
Most importantly, his illness had gotten worse. He often dreamed of his enemies coming to seek revenge on him, and he would be rudely awoken every night.
He had indeed done many bad things for the sake of the Meng family, but anyone who accomplished great things had to be unscrupulous. Therefore, he did not regret it.
However, he could not continue waiting. He had to obtain the Jinchuan Grass first, even if it was just one stalk.
Moreover, Gu Zheng had more than 100 stalks…
Old Master Meng said helplessly, “Wan Wan, follow me to Longwan Residential.”
…
Longwan Residential.
Qiao Xi heard some noise outside and saw the Meng family the moment she came out.
The butler said in a low voice, “Young Madam, the president said that he wouldn’t let the Meng family come, but they insisted on breaking in. I really couldn’t stop them. They even came with Old Master Gu, saying that the president had allowed them to enter.”
Qiao Xi nodded, and the corners of her mouth curled into a cold smile.
Old Master Meng finally could not take it anymore. He wanted to look for Gu Zheng to get Jinchuan Grass.
However… Meng Wan had stepped on the accelerator and destroyed more than a hundred stalks. Now, not a single stalk was left.
If Old Master Meng found out that the instigator was his granddaughter, what would his expression be like?
Gu Zheng knew that the Meng family would be paying him a visit. His expression was calm as he ignored everyone and continued sitting there lazily.
Old Master Meng was all smiles as he said kindly, “Gu Zheng, we’re here today because…”
“Isn’t it inappropriate for you to bring your family to barge in?” Gu Zheng raised an eyebrow.
Old Master Meng was embarrassed. Then, he forced a smile.
“Gu Zheng, there was a misunderstanding about what happened before. I brought Wan Wan here to apologize. The friendly relationship between our two families can’t be severed just like that.”
Gu Zheng slowly walked in front of him. “Old Master Meng, it’s useless to say all this. It’s your Meng family who wants to cut ties with the Gu family. You even used this to threaten me.”
The faces of the Meng family members instantly turned pale.
