Chapter 1627 - 1627 You Wouldn’t Have Been My Wife
1627 You Wouldn’t Have Been My Wife
“Xi Xi.” Suddenly, He Wenxian said in a gentle voice, “Today is a family banquet, after all. The elders are all here, so we have to be careful.
“Grandpa Gu, Xi Xi is young, so she’s acting cute with Ah Zheng at the family banquet. Don’t mind her.”
Old Master Gu nodded, but he still glared at Qiao Xi unhappily.
Qiao Xi had an indifferent expression. It was fine as long as she did not suffer any losses.
The banquet hall was silent. Only Old Master Gu and He Wenxian spoke from time to time.!!
After a while, the butler served the last dish of a yam dessert. As soon as the desserts were served, He Wenxian frowned and looked at the servants. “Ah Zheng is allergic to yams. How could you make a yam dish?”
The servants looked shocked. Allergic to yams?
He Wenxian said nervously, “Ah Zheng is very allergic to yams and even went to the hospital because of this. You don’t even know about this? Hurry up and take them away!”
The servants were about to take the desserts away when Qiao Xi took a bite and asked softly, “Ah Zheng, are you allergic to yams?”
Gu Zheng sneered. “The He family is really well-informed. My family doesn’t even know that I’m allergic to yams, but you know everything, Miss He.”
He Wenxian’s face instantly turned pale. She said in a panic, “Ah Zheng, you were allergic to yams back then. The servants saw it and told my father. I only found out then.”
Gu Zheng glanced at her indifferently, and she felt every inch of her skin tense up.
“But my allergy to yams started four years ago. I remember that everyone in the He family had already gone overseas by then.”
Since they had already gone overseas, why would the servants specially call He Weinian to tell him that Gu Zheng was allergic to yams? Wasn’t this just surveillance?
The surroundings suddenly fell silent. He Wenxian broke out in a cold sweat.
Gu Yao put down his chopsticks and said in shock, “F*ck! Could it be that the He family has been monitoring Gu Zheng all these years overseas? You’re perverts!”
Old Madam Gu’s expression was also gloomy. “Ah Zheng is in a high position. In order to avoid trouble, he never exposes his weakness. Only those close to him know what he’s allergic to. Who did you hear it from, Miss He?”
Everyone’s gazes landed on He Wenxian.
Old Master Gu wanted to stop them. Why was there a need to be so hostile over such a small matter? However, when he saw everyone’s cold gazes, he swallowed his words.
He Wenxian’s expression was extremely ugly. Did she not understand that everyone was targeting her? She and Ah Zheng were childhood sweethearts, yet he actually questioned her in public? Had he forgotten their past friendship?
Of course, she could not admit that the He family was monitoring Gu Zheng. She could only look aggrieved. “Back then, when I went overseas, I missed Ah Zheng very much, so I sent someone to investigate him. I happened to know that he was allergic to yams through the investigator.”
Old Madam Gu questioned coldly, “So, you admit to spying on Ah Zheng, Miss He?”
Old Madam Gu snorted. The panic in He Wenxian’s eyes was obvious.
He Wenxian’s eyes turned red from grievance. “I know that many things have changed after five years, but if I hadn’t gone overseas back then, Ah Zheng and I…”
“Even if you hadn’t gone overseas, my wife wouldn’t have been you,” Gu Zheng interrupted coldly.
He Wenxian’s eyes instantly glazed over. Everyone said that if she had not gone overseas back then, she would definitely have married Gu Zheng. However, he had personally shattered He Wenxian’s last wish.
Gu Zheng said casually, “As for the matter of you spying on me, I’ll look for Chairman He to ask for an explanation.”
“Ah Zheng, I wasn’t spying on you…” He Wenxian’s eyes were filled with sorrow as she shook her head helplessly. “Forget it, it’s all my wishful thinking.”
Old Madam Gu gritted her teeth in hatred. She kept saying that she had no improper thoughts about Ah Zheng, but she got someone to monitor him. She clearly knew that Ah Zheng was already married, yet she still wanted to come forward and dream of sitting in Mrs. Gu’s seat. Her behavior was really nauseating!
“Hubby, how could you do this to Miss He?!” Just as the atmosphere was awkward, Qiao Xi’s delicate voice sounded. “Miss He is just concerned about you. She didn’t do anything wrong, did she? Moreover, I’m very grateful to Miss He.”
Gu Yao: “…”
Grateful to He Wenxian? What was this woman trying to do?
Qiao Xi held Gu Zheng’s arm and looked at He Wenxian with a smile. “Miss He, thank you for accompanying Ah Zheng for so many years. You also let me know how much Ah Zheng loves me. After all, you’re so outstanding and beautiful. And you care so much about him. You even helped him when he was at his weakest. However, he didn’t choose you and married me instead.
