1360 Mr. Huo Is Just A Stranger
Guan Hui revealed a proud smile. After all, her current identity was Mrs. Huo. Even if Yuzhou’s heart ached for Qiao Xi, he would not berate her in public.
“Yuzhou, it’s all a misunderstanding. I…” Guan Hui said obsequiously.
“You lowered yourself to greet Xi Xi? Don’t you know your identity?” Huo Yuzhou looked at her coldly, and the words he said made one’s heart turn cold.
Guan Hui’s eyes were filled with disbelief. “Y-Yuzhou…”
Huo Yuzhou’s tone was a little sharp. “Guan Hui, you said that Xi Xi seduced a married man?”
Everyone was instantly stunned. What was going on? Mr. Huo looked very angry. Moreover, why was he questioning Mrs. Huo? Wasn’t he here to stand up for her?
Just as everyone’s minds were filled with question marks, Gu Zheng suddenly sneered, his eyes filled with cold killing intent. “Mrs. Huo, you haven’t answered my question just now.”
Guan Hui’s gaze was hesitant as she looked at Gu Zheng.
Even though she had liked Huo Yuzhou for many years, she could not help but be tempted when she saw the man in front of her. Gu Zheng’s appearance and ability were both more outstanding than Huo Yuzhou’s. When she found out about the rumors about him, she admired this man even more. There was probably no one in the world who was more charming than Gu Zheng.
But what was his question just now?
‘Mrs. Huo, do you want to know how Xi Xi got in?’
Hearing how Gu Zheng addressed Qiao Xi, Guan Hui could not help but become nervous. Could it be that Gu Zheng knew Qiao Xi as well?
Guan Hui hurriedly looked at Huo Yuzhou, her eyes pleading, but Huo Yuzhou ignored her. She said in a panic, “Y-Yuzhou.”
Her heart thumped violently. She suddenly realized that things seemed to be out of control.
“Apologize to her!” Huo Yuzhou ordered.
These words were clearly directed at Guan Hui. Those who were trying to please Guan Hui were stunned. The person who was bullied was Mrs. Huo. Why did Mr. Huo want Mrs. Huo to apologize to that woman?
Guan Hui’s eyes turned red as tears trickled down her cheeks. Her voice trembled as she said, “Yuzhou, I…”
“Mrs. Huo, didn’t you hear him? Mr. Huo wants you to apologize!” Qiao Xi’s tone carried a trace of ridicule.
Guan Hui’s face turned red, and her lips trembled slightly. She realized that something was wrong and could only look up at Huo Yuzhou pitifully, hoping that he could help.
Gu Zheng, who was at the side, had already lost his patience. He turned around to look at Qiao Xi and gently held her hand. Then, he smiled and said, “Let me introduce you. This is my wife, Qiao Xi. The mistress of Gu Corporation naturally doesn’t need an invitation to attend the auction. Mrs. Gu did come with a married man, but that married man is me—her husband.”
When Guan Hui heard the words ‘Mrs. Gu’, her eyes instantly widened as she looked at Qiao Xi in shock.
Qiao Xi… was actually married to Gu Zheng?
“I really don’t understand why Mrs. Huo concluded that I seduced a married man the moment she opened her mouth. I have such a powerful husband, so why would I seduce other men? Mr. Huo, why do you think Mrs. Huo thinks so? Even when we met in the past, I’ve never seduced a married man!
“Ah! Could it be that the man she’s talking about is you?!” Qiao Xi smiled disdainfully. “Mr. Huo, you can be considered married now, right? But we haven’t seen each other for six years. To me, you’re just a stranger. I’m not even familiar with you, so how could I have seduced you?”
As she spoke, Qiao Xi turned to look at Guan Hui and sneered. “Mrs. Huo, just because you like a man doesn’t mean that others will like him too. Don’t you think you’re very laughable for declaring your sovereignty as soon as you arrived?”
“Qiao Xi!” Guan Hui was angered to the point her entire body trembled as she glared fiercely at her.
How could she say that? She did not believe that Qiao Xi had never liked Yuzhou!
Just now, there was a group of people surrounding Guan Hui. At this moment, there was no one around her. They had already analyzed the situation. Miss Qiao was Gu Zheng’s wife. She did not like Mr. Huo at all. It was Mrs. Huo who was thinking too much and suspected that others had ideas about her husband.
Moreover, Miss Qiao also said that she was 14 years old when she separated from Mr. Huo. At that time, she was focused on her studies and was not in the mood to think about love at all. Even if she had a good impression of Mr. Huo at that time, there was nothing left of their relationship now that six years had passed. Now that Miss Qiao was already married to Gu Zheng and had a beautiful marriage, she had no intention of continuing her relationship with Mr. Huo. All of this was orchestrated by Mrs. Huo!
