Chapter 1530 - 1530 No One Will Think You're Mute If You Don't Speak
1530 No One Will Think You’re Mute If You Don’t Speak
Qiao Xi smiled in satisfaction. When she reached the entrance of the venue, she bumped into Gu Yao, Yang Xu, and the others.
Gu Yao immediately leaned forward and shouted excitedly, “Qiao Xi, the video was recorded well, right?!”
Yang Xu was also extremely excited. “Sister-in-law, we helped you deal with that b*tch. The entire internet is scolding her now!”
Qiao Xi had not looked at her cell phone the entire time, but from the disdainful gazes of everyone at the event location, she could tell that this incident had a huge impact on the internet.!!
Suddenly, Qiao Xi revealed a meaningful smile. Seeing her like this, Gu Yao had a bad feeling. The next second, he heard her ask slowly, “Gu Yao, actually, you should thank Mr. Twilight for successfully attacking the Kang family this time. You must’ve seen him before, right?”
Gu Yao: “…”
His gaze changed, and his originally excited expression froze. He had promised Gu Zheng to hide it from Qiao Xi, but why did Qiao Xi mention Twilight in front of him? Was she testing him?
The naive Second Young Master Gu was flustered and guilty. He did not dare to speak for a long time.
Yang Xu broke the silence first. “Of course, we’ve met him. The banquet hall beside us was given to us by Mr. Twilight. We should indeed thank him!”
Gu Yao said, “Yes! We should thank him!”
Qiao Xi stared at Gu Yao and could not control the smile on the corners of her mouth.
Gu Yao lowered his head and did not dare to meet Qiao Xi’s gaze. He kept begging Qiao Xi not to ask anymore. With his IQ, he would definitely be exposed!
However, the next second…
Yang Xu said generously, “Mr. Twilight even chatted with Ah Yao alone! Moreover, I keep having the feeling that Mr. Twilight and Ah Yao’s brother look alike!”
Gu Yao: “!!!” No one would think that he was mute if he did not say anything!
“Oh? He looks like Gu Zheng?” Qiao Xi’s tone carried a trace of ridicule.
When Gu Yao heard Qiao Xi’s voice, he felt his heart almost jump out of his chest. His voice trembled. “We… We just chatted for a while. We talked about the matter of renting the banquet hall…”
Damn! Qiao Xi’s tone must be filled with doubt. If Qiao Xi really found out, would Gu Zheng think that he was the one who exposed him?! But he did not say anything!
Just as Gu Yao was feeling flustered, Qiao Xi chuckled. “Thank you for today! Hurry up and go home. I’ll treat you to a meal another day.”
No matter how stupid Yang Xu was, he could sense that Gu Yao was nervous. Was Ah Yao so afraid of his sister-in-law? However, his sister-in-law looked very good when she smiled and spoke very gently!
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Yao nodded like a chick pecking on rice. “Alright! I’m a little tired too. We’ll go back and rest. Um… Let’s meet another day!”
Yang Xu was still confused when he was pulled away by Gu Yao.
Qiao Xi looked at Gu Yao, who was escaping crazily, and smiled like a fox.
She knew that Gu Zheng would not expose himself, but Gu Yao’s expression had already betrayed him. It was just that Qiao Xi really did not understand why Gu Zheng had to hide it from her.
After returning to Longwan Residential, Qiao Xi had just walked to the door when Xiao Lan hurriedly ran over and said excitedly, “Young Madam, I saw the news online. Everyone is scolding Kang Qingzhi. How satisfying!”
Uncle Sheng also smiled and echoed, “That’s right! Young Madam has finally recovered her innocence. It’s worth celebrating!”
With that, Uncle Sheng handed Qiao Xi an invitation. Qiao Xi lowered her head to take a look. “An invitation from Grandma?”
Uncle Sheng nodded. “Yes, the Gu family’s company is being managed by Young Master Gu Yao now. Chairman Gu doesn’t have any real power either. He’s just in the Gu family by name. However, there have always been rumors in Li City that Young Master Gu Yao isn’t a descendant of the Gu family and doesn’t have the right to manage the Gu family’s company. Although these rumors don’t affect Young Master Gu Yao much, Old Madam Gu has been thinking about holding a banquet.”
“Hold a banquet to confirm Gu Yao’s identity?” Qiao Xi asked.
Uncle Sheng cleared his throat and said, “It’s to get Chairman Gu to hand over the shares and announce the ownership of the inheritance.”
This way, no one would say anything.
Qiao Xi: “…”
Old Madam Gu knew very well that Gu Yao was not a descendant of the Gu family. This matter could not be hidden, so there was no need to hide it. However, so what if he was not a child of the Gu family? With parents like Gu Weiming and Huang Lilan, he was lucky to not be a descendant of the Gu family!
Gu Yao had grown up by Old Madam Gu’s side. Old Madam Gu had long treated him as her biological grandson. Moreover, her two grandsons were both capable and their relationship was so good. If the brothers joined forces, they would definitely be able to manage the Gu family’s assets.
