Chapter 139: Get Gu Zheng A Female Secretary

What did she mean by lacking manners? Qiao Xi did not even know who they were, so how was she supposed to greet them?

The noblewoman snorted coldly as if she knew what Qiao Xi was thinking. She said directly, Qiao Xi, don't tell me you don't know who I am? You've already married into the Gu family for so long but you don't even know the elders of the Gu family? Aren't you too arrogant?

The surrounding people also looked at Qiao Xi. Even though they didn't say anything, the disdain in their eyes was obvious.

The noblewoman said sarcastically, You're indeed an uneducated woman from the countryside. I wonder what Gu Zheng sees in you. He probably ended up like this because of your seductive appearance.

Qiao Xi was so angry that her cheeks were bulging. She wanted to open her mouth to retort, but this was Gu Zheng's family, after all. It was not appropriate for her to say anything. She could only sulk.

Just then, Gu Zheng asked, Who are you?

His gaze lightly landed on the noblewoman, who instantly stiffened. What was going on? Why would Gu Zheng suddenly ask her this? Did he really not know her, or did he want to stand up for Qiao Xi?

Various thoughts flashed through her mind. The noblewoman forced a smile. Gu Zheng, you don't have to pretend not to know me because of a woman. She's just a woman. We're just helping you train her. After all, your identity and status are important. The wife you marry represents you. If she embarrasses herself, it'll be very difficult for you, right?

The others came back to their senses and heaved a sigh of relief.

They thought that Gu Zheng really did not know this noblewoman. Gu Zheng rarely returned to the Gu family's old residence and did not spend much time with them. Or rather, with their status, Gu Zheng did not need to take them seriously.

However they thought about his words in their hearts. It would be too embarrassing if Gu Zheng exposed them and said that he did not know them.

They felt that Gu Zheng was definitely pretending not to know them because he did not want Qiao Xi to be embarrassed However, this sort of method was truly unacceptable.

They were Gu Zheng's relatives, while Qiao Xi was just a wife. No matter how important of a title she held, could she be superior to them in terms of hierarchy?

Just as the people from the Gu family were feeling dissatisfied with Gu Zheng's actions, they heard Gu Zheng say calmly, I really don't know you, so who are you?

After a pause, he continued casually, After all, I'm busy with work and have all kinds of important matters to attend to. I don't have to worry about unimportant people, right?

His words were indeed harsh. The woman's face instantly turned pale. She never expected Gu Zheng to not show her any respect in front of so many people! However, what could she do? With Gu Zheng's status, she did not dare retort.

Gu Zheng did not even look at her. He held Qiao Xi's hand and turned to leave. These people aren't important. You don't have to remember them. I'll bring you to look for Grandma first.

Qiao Xi nodded vigorously. She felt that Gu Zheng was too handsome!

Was this the charm of the head of the Gu family?!

However, before they could leave the living room, they saw Madam Gu stand up abruptly. Gu Zheng, your grandmother is still taking an afternoon nap. She knows that you're back. We've been waiting here all this while but now that you're back, you're immediately going to look for your grandmother. If others find out about this, they'll think that I, your mother, have been abusing you.

Her gaze then shifted to her left side. A young and beautiful woman was sitting there obediently. The woman was about 20 years old. Her almond-shaped eyes would drift to Gu Zheng from time to time before she lowered her head shyly.

Madam Gu said, I know you don't like Meng Wan. Since you don't like her, I won't force you. Look, this is your uncle's daughter. She just graduated from university. I think your company needs a female secretary. She just graduated from university, so let her try it out.

The noblewoman beside Madam Gu also became more enthusiastic. She quickly said, That's right. This girl is good-looking, has a good temper, and is even a graduate of a famous university. She's much better than some people!

She glanced at Qiao Xi disdainfully, then smiled obsequiously. Gu Zheng, she graduated from design. Isn't Gu Corporation entering the fashion design industry and trying to create the best designs? This girl is definitely a suitable candidate for you. With her around, your company will surely do well.

With that, she shot the young woman a look to get her to say a few words.
