Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

1665 An Inexplicable Sense Of Closeness
“Xia Chunyu?”

She was about to curse when a cold voice came from behind.

At this moment, Xia Jingan walked over with cold eyes and gave her a warning look. Then, he looked at Qiao Xi. “I’m sorry, Miss Qiao.”

Xia Chunyu widened her eyes. “Brother! Why are you apologizing to her? Have you forgotten Grandma’s words?”

“Shut up!” Xia Jingan’s voice was a little hoarse, and his eyes were malicious as he looked down at her. “Have you forgotten my warning?”

!!
Xia Chunyu’s face was pale. She struggled to get up from the floor before lowering her head, not daring to look at him.

Xia Jingan said gently to Qiao Xi, “It’s my fault for not managing her well. I hope you won’t take offense.”

Qiao Xi crossed her arms and had an indifferent expression. “Young Master Xia, please restrain Miss Xia and don’t let her kick up a fuss in front of me. I can forget about it this time, but I won’t be so easy to talk to next time.”

Xia Jingan hurriedly nodded. He did not know why his grandmother wanted to bring Qiao Xi home, but whether it was for public or private reasons, they should not offend Qiao Xi. However, this idiot, Xia Chunyu, always came to look for trouble with Qiao Xi. It was really a headache.

“Bring Eldest Miss back!” Xia Jingan ordered his assistant behind him.

Xia Chunyu shouted indignantly, “Brother! Why are you on her side?! She’s a b*tch—”

With a look from Xia Jingan, the assistant hurriedly covered her mouth. Xia Chunyu was then forcefully pulled into the car.

Seeing Xia Chunyu leave in a sorry state, Qiao Xi slowly said, “Young Master Xia, you’ve put in a lot of effort! But your sister won’t understand you.”

Xia Jingan said indifferently, “I don’t care what she thinks as long as you don’t blame me. I can’t just watch her ruin the Xia family’s reputation.”

Qiao Xi raised her eyes to look at him and was slightly curious in her heart. Xia Jingan and Xia Chunyu grew up together, so why was the difference between them so big?

“Miss Qiao, actually, not everyone is like Xia Chunyu.” As soon as Xia Jingan finished speaking, he looked straight at Qiao Xi.

“Why are you looking at me?” Qiao Xi asked.

Xia Jingan looked away and smiled lightly. “I just feel very close to you, Miss Qiao.”

Qiao Xi smiled as well. “Actually, I have the same feeling. If you weren’t from the Xia family, perhaps we could be good friends.”

Xia Jingan’s eyes were a little lonely. He knew that Qiao Xi hated the Xia family very much. Saying such things in front of him meant that she already had a deep prejudice against the Xia family

After a few seconds of silence, Xia Jingan suddenly said, “Miss Qiao, are you free tonight? Can I invite you to my place for a meal?”

Qiao Xi was slightly surprised. “Young Master Xia, it’s not good for us to meet alone tonight, right?”

Qiao Xi instantly understood that there must be Old Madam Xia’s subordinates in the car, so it was not convenient for him to say some things here.

These words aroused Qiao Xi’s curiosity. Coupled with her good impression of Xia Jingan, she nodded. “Alright, I’ll see you tonight.”

Xia Jingan’s eyes curved. “I’ll send you the address later.”

He turned to leave. When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. “Miss Qiao, you’ve seen the rumors online, right? Do you need my help?”

“There’s no need. I believe in him.” After Qiao Xi finished speaking, she looked at him seriously. “Young Master Xia, I don’t understand. As Xia Zishan’s son, our relationship should be very bad. Why do you seem to be very concerned about me?”

Xia Jingan explained uneasily, “I don’t know why either. I just can’t help but want to care about you. Don’t worry, I don’t have any ill intentions toward you. In the future, the Xia family will be in my hands. It’ll definitely be different from before. I’ll investigate the humiliation Aunt Yunqiu suffered and won’t let you suffer anymore.”
Qiao Xi smiled and said, “Thank you.”

…

In the capital.

“When will he wake up?” Gu Zheng asked.

Doctor Jiang had a serious expression. “It might take a month, a year, or even…”

Gu Zheng’s eyes flashed. The divine physician could not die just like that. Xi Xi had been waiting for him!

“When the old master was unconscious, he kept shouting a name. I think he was saying ‘Xi Xi’. She must be a very important person. You can try talking to him often. He might wake up early,” Doctor Jiang suggested.

Crash!

Ji Tian suddenly knocked over the cup on the table, and everyone’s eyes landed on her.

“I’m sorry, I’m going to the bathroom.” Ji Tian left in a hurry. She had a feeling that Gu Zheng and Ye Qingyuan seemed to have already suspected her.
