1300 The Collapse Of A Perfect Image

At this moment, the man standing beside He Wenxian frowned and retorted indignantly, “But how could Miss He have known—”

“Miss He.” The corners of Song Shijing’s mouth curled up slightly as he interrupted the other party rudely. He turned to look at He Wenxian. “I remember that the last time you went to Gu Corporation to bid, you accused Young Madam in public of not being qualified to work as a designer in Gu Corporation. The He family withdrew from the collaboration because of your rash actions. Chairman He even brought you to apologize to Young Madam personally. It seems that what happened last time wasn’t enough to teach you a lesson as you forgot Young Madam’s identity so quickly.”

He Wenxian’s body stiffened as she widened her eyes at Song Shijing.

He was just an assistant. What right did he have to expose her in public? All these years, in order to protect her perfect image, she had always been careful and did not dare make a single mistake. She maintained a gentle and elegant image in front of outsiders at every moment, but after meeting Qiao Xi, she seemed to be plagued by bad luck and was exposed every time.

If this continued, it wouldn’t be long before her image was completely ruined. Everyone would think that she was deliberately targeting Qiao Xi and was jealous of Qiao Xi!

Everyone looked at He Wenxian with doubt and mockery. They had previously heard that the He family suddenly withdrew from the collaboration with Gu Corporation. Chairman He even personally came to apologize, but they did not expect that it was because He Wenxian had criticized Miss Qiao in public. It turned out that Miss Qiao was the chief designer of Liuli, Gu Shan.

He Wenxian had lived for more than 20 years, but this was the first time she needed to apologize to someone. It must have been very embarrassing, but it had only been a few days since the incident. She wouldn’t have forgotten so quickly, right?

Hence, He Wenxian must have known that Miss Qiao was Gu Shan but deliberately did not say it out loud. She clearly knew that it was impossible for Gu Shan to be wearing a fake, yet she still deliberately wronged her to protect her reputation. If Gu Zheng had not stepped forward to clarify things, then…

Wait!

Everyone widened their eyes and thought about what Song Shijing had just said. They all looked at Qiao Xi, their eyes wandering between her and Gu Zheng. Did they hear Song Shijing call Qiao Xi ‘Young Madam’ just now?

Song Shijing was Gu Zheng’s personal assistant. He called Qiao Xi ‘Young Madam’, which meant that Qiao Xi was Gu Zheng’s wife?

“She’s Mrs. Gu?”

“I heard that President Gu dotes on Mrs. Gu very much. Why would he stand up for other women? So, Miss Qiao is Mrs. Gu! They’re indeed a perfect match!”

“Since Miss Qiao is Mrs. Gu, it’s even more impossible for her to be wearing a fake!”

“As the eldest daughter of the He family, He Wenxian visited Longwan Residential as soon as she returned to the country. She even claimed to be President Gu’s childhood sweetheart. She must know that Miss Qiao is Mrs. Gu and also Gu Shan. Why did she suspect that Miss Qiao was wearing a fake in public, then?”

“Let’s not talk about Gu Shan’s identity first. Miss Qiao is Mrs. Gu! President Gu is so rich. Why would he let his wife wear a fake to the charity banquet?”

Perhaps He Wenxian could explain that she had forgotten that Qiao Xi was Gu Shan, but she would absolutely not forget that Qiao Xi was Mrs. Gu. The He family had always told the public that they were close to Gu Zheng, so how could they not know who Gu Zheng’s wife was?

Everyone discussed softly, their eyes filled with doubt. He Wenxian gasped and bit her lip. She took a deep breath and endured the mockery around her with difficulty.

She did not expect that Gu Zheng would stand up for Qiao Xi in public and not leave her with the slightest bit of dignity. Just because Qiao Xi was Mrs. Gu, he had to care for Qiao Xi without any scruples?

Her necklace had clearly been smashed, and Cheng Juan had already confirmed that Qiao Xi’s necklace was the real deal. Why was he still unwilling to let the matter go? Did he have to announce Qiao Xi’s identity and embarrass her in public?

At this moment, He Wenxian was already overwhelmed by anger. Her body could not help but tremble. She suppressed the anger in her heart and explained helplessly, “Xi Xi, I’m really sorry. I’ve been busy with the charity banquet recently, so I forgot that you’re Gu Shan. I didn’t know that you designed this necklace. You’re really outstanding. Ah Zheng, it’s my fault this time. I apologize.”

Qiao Xi had an expression of disdain. Miss He was really tolerant. Her thoughts had been exposed in front of everyone, yet she could still apologize calmly. Moreover, her tone was extremely sincere, and no one could find fault with it.

Indeed, maintaining a perfect image for more than 20 years was not something that ordinary people could do!
