Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself
Chapter 1341
1341 The Secret Of A Large Family
Qiao Xi fell into deep thought. Although Madam Tan had a bad temper, she was not a brainless person. Could it be that for the sake of satisfying her son’s desires, she was willing to spend two billion to get a woman for her son?
…
Longwan Residential.
After Gu Yao and Yin Jingting left, Qiao Xi looked up at Gu Zheng. “What are you thinking about? Why aren’t you saying anything?”
The man looked up slightly, and a cold glint flashed across his eyes. “Are you thinking of the Brook family?”
“Brother Jingting said that the Brook family has a good reputation in Y Nation. I’ve also investigated this family. That seems to be the case, but why would a family that values their reputation so much tolerate Tan Yu snatching women and torturing them to death?
“Moreover, it’s not a secret that Tan Yu has killed women. Why is the Brook family protecting this idiot? How can their reputation in Y Nation be good if they’re allowing Tan Yu to commit murder like this?”
Gu Zheng nodded and looked at her with his light brown eyes, listening to her.
“Don’t you think that the Brook family is very similar to He Weinian? They have a good reputation, but they’ve done many bad things behind the scenes. Tan Yu is only fearless because of his family’s power.
“A large family like theirs has such shameful secrets, so it’s naturally not easy to investigate. Perhaps their family’s reputation is really good, but there are exceptions like Tan Yu and Madam Tan. However, it’s also possible that they’re hiding some secrets. When Madam Tan suddenly came to Li City…”
As Gu Zheng spoke, the corners of his mouth curled into a mocking smile. “It’s probably because something happened that made her feel afraid, so she had no choice but to come.”
Afraid? What could make Madam Tan afraid?
After the two of them finished speaking, Gu Zheng went upstairs to take a shower. Qiao Xi continued thinking for a moment in the living room, but she still had no clue.
…
Three days later, in Y Nation.
Tan Yu’s fat body leaned against the sofa, and the muscles on his face trembled slightly. He said hatefully, “B*tch! She caused me to be punished by the head of the family!”
Madam Tan sat elegantly on the chaise longue and glanced at Tan Yu indifferently. “I told you a long time ago that you’re the young master of the Brook family. Even if you’re not the young master of the direct line of descent, you still have a noble status. Don’t always say those dirty words to make others think that you’re very uneducated.”
Madam Tan’s tone was gentle. Be it her actions or words, she was so elegant. Those who did not know better would think that she was an elegant and beautiful noblewoman, but those who knew her knew how vicious and unbearable she was.
The next second, the corners of her mouth revealed a vicious smile. “I underestimated Qiao Xi, so I was tricked by her. However, she won’t be so lucky in the future. She used a live broadcast to force us to leave Li City and caused us to be punished. Her methods are indeed brilliant, but unfortunately, they’re almost used up.
“She’s just a 20-year-old girl. She’s just a little scheming. She’s merely relying on her status as Gu Zheng’s wife, yet she actually dares to be so arrogant and mock me in public. I want her to know the consequences of offending me.”
Madam Tan spoke calmly as if she was talking about a small matter, then she sighed helplessly. “Unfortunately, Qiao Xi wasn’t able to marry you. It’ll be a good thing if she’s able to become a member of the Brook family. Perhaps those two people will be afraid of the Brook family’s power and won’t attack her.”
When Tan Yu heard this, his eyes widened. “Who are those two people?”
Madam Tan smiled lightly. “They’re not big shots. Of course, their power is inferior to our family’s, but they’re also the heirs of noble families in Y Nation. I really don’t know how Miss Qiao offended this group of people. A socialite even looked for me and asked me to think of a way to bring Qiao Xi back to Y Nation. She said it’s best if she marries you.”
Actually, Madam Tan knew her son very well. That socialite raised such thoughts because she wanted to push Qiao Xi into a fire pit. Hence, that socialite definitely had a grudge against Qiao Xi.
Of course, she was willing to give that socialite some face. Coincidentally, Xia Mengyan sent Qiao Xi’s photo over. Her son liked Qiao Xi, so Madam Tan went to Li City.
“A 20-year-old girl has silently offended so many people. Looks like she’ll end up very miserable even without me doing anything.”
Madam Tan smiled sinisterly with a trace of disdain. “But since she knows that noble socialite, perhaps Qiao Xi’s identity can’t be underestimated!”
