Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

1675 We’ve Long Been Strangers
“Xi Xi, don’t waste your effort. They won’t be able to find you.” Huo Yuzhou’s gentle voice sounded.

Qiao Xi’s voice was cold. “Huo Yuzhou, what exactly are you planning on doing?”

Huo Yuzhou sat opposite her and smiled devilishly. “What if I say that I love you? That I want to keep you by my side?”

“Like hell I’ll believe you!” Qiao Xi glared at him. “If you really love me, you wouldn’t have betrayed me back then and even set fire to Grandpa’s library. You destroyed our relationship with your own hands. You’ve always been someone who’ll be unscrupulous for the sake of achieving your goals. Why are you kidnapping me this time?”

Huo Yuzhou’s eyes suddenly turned cold, and his heart felt like it was being dismembered. It turned out that in her eyes, he was such a person.

After a long silence, he suddenly sneered. “I might be terrible, but at least I could save you when you were in danger. But what about your husband? He was with another woman. You shouldn’t have married such a man.”

The corners of Qiao Xi’s mouth twitched as she looked at him with a mocking expression. “Even if I didn’t marry him, I would absolutely not marry you. We’ve long been strangers.”

 

Huo Yuzhou suddenly choked as a suffocating feeling swept through his body. He stood up angrily and left.

Qiao Xi turned over and heaved a sigh of relief when she heard the door close. Not to mention escaping, she could not even leave this bedroom now. How was she going to send news to Gu Zheng and Fourth Brother?

After Huo Yuzhou left the room, his assistant walked forward. “Sir, Miss Guan called.”

Hearing that Guan Hui had called, Huo Yuzhou frowned.

“Miss Guan said that she’s not feeling well and wants you to go back and accompany her…” The assistant became less and less confident as he spoke. Every once in a while, Miss Guan would use such a reason to ask Mr. Huo to visit her. Mr. Huo would get very impatient every time, but he would still visit her if he had time.

The assistant had been with Huo Yuzhou for so many years and knew that he liked Miss Qiao a lot. However, because Miss Guan had once saved him, he had no choice but to do something against his conscience. He even set a fire and completely cut off his relationship with Miss Qiao.

However, was it really worth it to lose the person he loved for Guan Hui?

As an outsider, he could tell that Mr. Huo did not like Guan Hui and even hated her.

Huo Yuzhou made a call and asked impatiently, “What’s wrong now?”

Guan Hui’s sobbing voice sounded. “Yuzhou, I’m dizzy. Can you come…”

“No, I’m not a doctor. It’s useless even if I go back.”

“Yuzhou, do you hate me?” Guan Hui said aggrievedly, “I was the one who saved you back then…”

Huo Yuzhou frowned. “Guan Hui, haven’t I given you enough all these years? I probably returned the favor a long time ago. I advise you not to be too greedy!”

Guan Hui bit her lip aggrievedly. She had not seen Huo Yuzhou for many days. He was not in the villa in Li City or in Y Nation. Where could he have gone?

Guan Hui thought for a few seconds and suddenly said, “Yuzhou, I heard that Xi Xi has gone missing. Gu Zheng and the Xia family are all looking for her!”

“Does this have anything to do with you?” Huo Yuzhou replied coldly. “I didn’t even hear about it, so who did you hear it from?”

“I…” Guan Hui was instantly speechless.

Huo Yuzhou sneered. “You’re recuperating at home every day, but you’re more well-informed than me. Gu Zheng and Xia Jingan have always been careful. So how do you know about this?”

Guan Hui instantly panicked. She had found out that the Brook family was chasing after Qiao Xi, so she suspected that this matter was related to Huo Yuzhou, which was why she specially called to test him. Unexpectedly, she was questioned by him.

After knowing that Qiao Xi had disappeared for a few days, Guan Hui cursed Qiao Xi in her heart. It would be best if she died. As long as she died, no one would know that the person who saved Huo Yuzhou back then was Qiao Xi. She could use this life-saving grace to make Huo Yuzhou stay by her side for the rest of his life.

After the two of them hung up, Guan Hui immediately replied to the head of the Brook family, “Yuzhou said he doesn’t know.”

The head of the Brook family’s expression darkened. He did not want to suspect Huo Yuzhou, but Huo Yuzhou had not been in Li City these past few days, making him find it a little strange.

…

Li City.

“President, there’s still no news of Young Madam.” Song Shijing had been looking for her for many days and was physically and mentally exhausted.

At this moment, Gu Zheng was standing on a pier in Li City. He looked at the vast sea with red eyes that carried a trace of determination.

“Why do you think Huo Yuzhou took Young Madam away? If he wants something, why hasn’t he done anything for so many days?” Song Shijing looked puzzled.

Before Gu Zheng could answer, Song Shiyu rushed over. “President, we just received an email. It contains a photo of Young Madam!”
