Chapter 1434 - 1434 You Look Like A Fool
1434 You Look Like A Fool
At this moment, Twilight was standing at the edge of the venue and quietly looking at Qiao Xi in the crowd. His long fingers gently rubbed a silver cufflink that was covered in complicated patterns. If one looked carefully, it looked like a coiled five-clawed golden dragon. The dragon’s eyes were embedded with shining obsidians.
This was Qiao Xi’s birthday gift to him last year. He had always been reluctant to wear it, so it still looked as new as ever.
Ye Qingyuan stood beside him and teased, “Twilight, do you know that you look like a fool now? You can’t take your eyes off your Little Xi Xi!”
Gu Zheng glanced at him indifferently. “Is there a problem?”
“Since you’re so worried, go help her. With Twilight’s status in the cultural relics world, it’s just a matter of saying a few words to help her. Why are you hiding here?”
Gu Zheng sneered. “Mr. Wu is here, so it’ll be fine.”
Ye Qingyuan raised an eyebrow. “Can Mr. Wu compare to you? It’ll definitely be more effective if you personally appear. After all, the He family isn’t easy to deal with.”
Gu Zheng said casually, “Back then, Mr. Wu was in charge of the restoration of Autumn Leaves. He’s the person who can prove Xi Xi’s identity the most. With him around, there’s no need for me to appear.”
“You…” Ye Qingyuan suddenly choked, and his expression was slightly helpless. “I really don’t understand. Do you really not want Qiao Xi to know your identity?”
Gu Zheng glanced at him coldly. “Why are you talking so much nonsense?”
Ye Qingyuan: “…”
He snorted angrily. “Gu Zheng, although your wife is young, she has grown up during this period of time. She’s no longer that weak flower. She can’t hide behind you forever. So what if you tell her? Moreover, you two are husband and wife. If she finds out by herself, she might even be angry with you!”
Gu Zheng really did not understand why ever since Ye Qingyuan got to know Qiao Xi, he had always felt that Qiao Xi was very weak. It was even to the extent that there were times when Gu Zheng did not know where to start even if he wanted to explain.
He paused, and his expression was a little subtle. “Qingyuan, although you’re a doctor, you’re also susceptible to illnesses.”
“What do you mean?” Ye Qingyuan was dumbfounded.
Gu Zheng said, “Go to the hospital to check your brain when you’re free.”
Ye Qingyuan: “…”
He hesitated for a moment, then his eyes were instantly filled with anger. Before he could speak, he heard Gu Zheng say indifferently, “How do you think the He family will cover up their crimes this time?”
Ye Qingyuan looked at him. “Do you have evidence of them hiring assassins to kill Qiao Xi?”
“No.” Gu Zheng shook his head, then sneered. “But Xi Xi isn’t talking about that.”
He Weinian, that old fox, had long been prepared. Moreover, that incident was a few days ago. He Weinian had erased all traces. They indeed could not find any evidence now, but…
Ye Qingyuan immediately remembered. “The car accident?”
“Yes.” Gu Zheng’s lips curled up, but his eyes were terrifyingly cold.
If he had not arrived in time and saved Xi Xi, what would have happened to her today? Would she be disabled? Or would she be unconscious?
At the thought of the possibility of an accident, Gu Zheng could not suppress the killing intent in his heart. How was the He family going to cover up their crimes this time?
That car had already been intercepted. There were witnesses and evidence. He wanted to see how He Weinian would protect He Wenxian.
On the other hand, when He Wenxian was feeling tense, Qiao Xi asked softly, “But how are Miss He and Chairman He going to explain the car accident that just happened?
“Miss He, didn’t you say that you were just being vain and didn’t know that the real Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor was still alive? Then why did you send someone to hit me with a car? Not only did this car accident cause me to be late, but it also caused me to hurt my hand and almost lose my life.”
He Wenxian’s face instantly turned pale, and her mind was a mess. She opened her mouth, but her throat was dry.
The car accident!
She pretended to be the Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor because of her vanity and because she was muddle-headed. However, if the car accident was confirmed, she would definitely face jail time!
No matter how calm He Wenxian was, she could not help but panic when faced with Qiao Xi’s question. Her lips trembled. “Xi Xi, you… What nonsense are you talking about? What… What does the car accident have to do with me?”
“Miss He, there’s no point in pretending to be stupid, right?” Qiao Xi’s tone was slightly impatient. It was enough to pretend to be stupid once. Did He Wenxian think that she could succeed using the same trick?
He Wenxian’s tears could not help but fall, and her eyes were filled with panic. “I… I’m not pretending. Xi Xi, I really don’t know what you’re talking about.”
