1542 Gu Yao’s Relationship With The Xu Family
“President Xu, you must have seen the news online.” Gu Zheng’s voice was low. His long fingers stroked the teacup slightly as his thin lips parted. “You know very well what Xu Ling has done.”
Xu Zhi said uneasily, “President Gu, I… I know that Xu Ling has offended Xi Xi, but Xu Ling and I… She’s the precious daughter of the head of the family. Our family has spoiled her rotten. She’s always been naughty and willful. I’m really…”
“I can handle Xu Ling’s matter.” Gu Zheng leaned lazily against the chair and said casually, “The Xu family of Shengdu is a little powerful, but it’s just a small matter for me to take revenge for Xi Xi.”
Xu Zhi’s heart trembled.
Gu Zheng actually said such bold words. Could it be that his power had already reached such a terrifying level?
The Xu family was a wealthy family in Shengdu. Xu Ling was the precious daughter of the head of the family and had been pampered since she was young. What Gu Zheng meant was that if he wanted to lay a hand on Xu Ling, it would be useless even if she ran to Shengdu to avoid trouble.
However, Gu Zheng could take revenge himself. Why did he still want to see him?
Gu Zheng slowly looked up at Xu Zhi with a deep gaze. His voice gradually turned cold. “President Xu, have you seen Xu Anran recently? Is she in contact with Xu Ling?”
Xu Anran… Xu Ling?
Xu Zhi instantly widened his eyes. He had no contact with Xu Ling, but Xu Anran was his adopted daughter, after all. He still knew her a little.
“Or may I ask, how was Xu Anran’s relationship with Xu Ling five years ago?”
Gu Zheng’s words hit Xu Zhi hard, making him fall into a daze for a moment.
Five years ago…
He and Xia Lan found out that Qiao Xi was their biological daughter, but they received news that Qiao Xi was naughty and crude. Xia Lan felt that her daughter was embarrassing, so she was unwilling to bring Qiao Xi home.
It was only when Xu Anran was chased out of the Xu family that he found out that the information they found back then was deliberately edited by Xu Anran. It made them think that their daughter was ignorant, incompetent, and extremely naughty, so they delayed their meeting with Qiao Xi for five years.
Xu Zhi knew very well in his heart that Xu Anran was afraid that her status would be threatened and did not want them to find their biological daughter. However, how could Xu Anran know Qiao Xi’s identity before them?
Now that Gu Zheng had mentioned five years ago, all his doubts seemed to have been resolved.
“President Xu, what did you think of?” Gu Zheng asked.
Cold sweat trickled down Xu Zhi’s forehead. He said while trembling, “President Gu, five years ago… Xu Ling might have told Xi Xi’s identity to Xu Anran, so what happened after that was also Xu Ling’s…”
The smile on Gu Zheng’s face widened. Actually, he had already guessed it. He just wanted to look for Xu Zhi to confirm it.
Xu Zhi felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. If that were the case, Gu Zheng would definitely not let Xu Ling off!
Xu Ling and Kang Qingzhi joining forces to frame Xi Xi had already violated Gu Zheng’s bottom line. If what happened five years ago was also related to her, then she…
Gu Zheng exuded a biting cold aura as he asked coldly, “When did Xu Ling and Kang Qingzhi meet?”
Xu Zhi wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. “I don’t have much contact with Xu Ling, and I’m not too sure about her matters either, but I’ve long heard that she had a noble friend in Y Nation who’s the daughter of an earl. If I remember correctly, the earl at that time should be Kang Ru.”
Gu Zheng narrowed his eyes. He had really underestimated Kang Qingzhi!
“There’s one more thing.” Gu Zheng’s expression suddenly became serious. His sharp gaze landed on Xu Zhi as he asked word by word, “What’s Gu Yao’s relationship with the Xu family?”
Xu Zhi’s expression instantly stiffened, and his eyes were filled with horror. He hurriedly lowered his head and said while trembling, “P-President Gu, why… would you ask this? What relationship can Young Master Gu Yao have with the Xu family?”
Gu Zheng sneered. “President Xu, since I asked you, I’ve naturally discovered something. If you don’t explain yourself, it’ll be very difficult for you to walk out of this door today.”
Xu Zhi’s pupils suddenly constricted, and his body trembled uncontrollably. He had almost forgotten that apart from being the president of Gu Corporation, Gu Zheng was also the top hacker, Mo Yuan!
Since Gu Zheng asked him, he must have found some clues. With his strength, it was not impossible for him to investigate what had happened back then, but it would take some time.
Xu Zhi gulped. “President Gu, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but I really don’t know much. I just happened to hear from the head of the family that Young Master Gu Yao stayed with the Xu family for a period of time when he was still in infancy. I’m not too sure about what happened after that.”
Gu Zheng’s expression was cold. He was right. Gu Yao had been in contact with the Xu family.
