Chapter 801: Mo Yuan Has A Thing For Beauties
Qiao Xi was clearly aware that she had just come into contact with hypnosis and her body had yet to completely adapt to it when she used the skill twice in a row. That was why she suddenly fainted.
She leaned against the bed and asked casually, “What’s the situation with Lu Yan?”
Gu Zheng’s expression was subtle. “At first, Lu Yan wondered if Han Ye was still alive. For some reason, after attending the art exhibition, he suddenly thought it through and decided to use Han Ye’s paintings as the packaging for the perfume. Everyone is very supportive of him.”
Qiao Xi sneered in her heart. Lu Yan’s assistants were all Gu Zheng’s people, so presumably, no one would object.
“Lu Yan is such a suspicious person. It’s really beyond my expectations to have him put the packaging into production without any doubts.” Gu Zheng looked at Qiao Xi with a smile. “Mrs. Gu, do you know what happened?”
Hearing Gu Zheng’s meaningful words, Qiao Xi’s heart thumped violently as she said guiltily, “How could I know? Perhaps he suddenly thought it through after not seeing Han Ye at the art exhibition this time.”
Gu Zheng smiled faintly. “I don’t think he would’ve made a decision that quickly for no reason. Someone must have said something. I remember that he met you and you two were alone. Did you say something to him?”
Qiao Xi instantly choked. Could it be that Gu Zheng knew?
Impossible!
She pretended to be calm. “Lu Yan did look for me, but it wasn’t because of Han Ye. He wanted to encourage me to leave you. He’s full of bad ideas!”
Qiao Xi said indignantly, “I told him that I loved my husband so much, so how could I leave him? I reprimanded him a few more times before he left angrily. I don’t know what happened after that either.”
Gu Zheng smirked. Mrs. Gu’s ability to lie through her teeth was getting stronger and stronger.
She lay on the bed and smiled. “Ah Zheng, I’m so tired. I’ll sleep first.”
Gu Zheng nodded, then stood up and left. He gently closed the door behind him.
After Gu Zheng left, Qiao Xi heaved a sigh of relief. Actually, she had thought of telling Gu Zheng about the hypnosis, but if she did, she would be discovered when she tried to hypnotize him in the future. After all, Gu Zheng was so smart. Perhaps he could rely on his willpower to resist the hypnosis!
…
In the living room of Longwan Residential.
Ye Qingyuan was sitting on the sofa and leisurely sipping tea. When he saw Gu Zheng coming downstairs, he could not help but raise his eyebrows. “Ah Zheng, it wasn’t easy for you to get the beauty. You have to treat her better. How could you make her faint?! If this happens again, I won’t hide it for you.”
Gu Zheng curled his lips. “Okay.”
Ye Qingyuan had a serious expression. “Your wife is so weak and obedient. It’s fine if outsiders bully her, but as her husband, how can you bear to bully her? She’s been under so much pressure since she married you. You should treat her better to make up for everything she’s done for you!”
Gu Zheng was silent for a moment. “Where did you hear this?”
Ye Qingyuan looked proud. “I have dozens of spies. Nothing in Li City can escape my eyes and ears.”
Gu Zheng sneered. “Your subordinates aren’t much either.”
His dozens of spies found out about these things? They found out that Mrs. Gu was weak and obedient. She was bullied by outsiders and had to endure the pressure of marrying him?
…
Four hours ago, in the exhibition hall.
After being humiliated by Qiao Xi and Carter in public, Tang Ruge returned to the lounge angrily.
At this moment, Mu Ling and Mu Ming had just finished looking at the oil paintings on the first floor when they heard everyone talking about Tang Ruge. Mu Ling said excitedly, “Brother! Did you hear that?! Tang Ruge and Madam Tang have lost all their dignity this time! It’s really too tragic!”
Mu Ming’s expression was indifferent. “Looks like I have to thank Black Tide properly this time. But why has Tang Ruge been targeting Black Tide?! Could it be that she likes Mo Yuan? Is that why she’s targeting Black Tide?”
Mu Ling sneered. “Even if Tang Ruge has taken a liking to Mo Yuan, it’s absolutely impossible for Mo Yuan to like her! Black Tide is so beautiful! Tang Ruge is inferior to even a strand of her hair. How could she snatch Black Tide’s man?”
Actually, she had long known that Mo Yuan was obsessed with looks. Previously, she chased after Mo Yuan to acknowledge him as her master but was always rejected. Although she was not as capable as Black Tide, she was not far off. After all, she was also on the hacker rankings, so she asked Mo Yuan why he did not accept her as his disciple. Unexpectedly, after a long time, Mo Yuan replied: [You’re ugly.]
At that time, Mu Ling was dealt a blow. Although she was not as good-looking as Black Tide, she was not ugly either. At least, she was better than Tang Ruge. If Mo Yuan did not like her, he would definitely not like Tang Ruge!
