38: He Will Protect Her
Editor: Atlas Studios
Seeing Gu Zhou appear, Qiao Xin shuddered involuntarily.
Su Yan sensed that Qiao Xin wasn’t feeling well.
He looked at her worriedly and whispered, “Xin Xin, if you’re unwell, can I take you to the hospital?”
Su Yan had never been interested in gossip.
He felt that he might as well use the time to read more books.
“I… I’m fine,” Qiao Xin said gently.
How could she leave?
She wanted to see Qiao Nian humiliated by Gu Zhou.
Gu Zhou stood next to Qiao Nian.
His facial features were well-defined, and he looked extremely distinguished.
He raised his chin slightly, like a proud and aloof king.
Someone recognized Gu Zhou and exclaimed, “Isn’t this the Second Young Master of the Gu family?”
Everyone gasped and looked at Gu Zhou in disbelief.
“He’s not ugly at all!”
“He’s so handsome.
I want to give birth to his child!”
“Oh dear, if I had known, I would have married into the Gu family!”
…
The socialites present murmured among themselves.
The Gu family was the most powerful family in An City.
No aristocratic family dared to go against the Gu family.
Even though it was rumored that Second Young Master Gu was ugly and short-lived, many socialites still volunteered to marry into the Gu family.
However, the Gu family did not find any of them suitable.
Everyone stared at Gu Zhou.
They knew that Gu Zhou was someone they could not afford to offend.
Gu Zhou’s tone seemed to indicate that he disapproved strongly of Shen Ming’s actions.
Although everyone knew that Qiao Nian was Gu Zhou’s bride, they also knew that the two of them hadn’t been married for long.
Moreover, some people had heard that Gu Zhou didn’t seem to like Qiao Nian.
Otherwise, Gu Zhou would be the one bringing Qiao Nian to this banquet.
Qiao Nian stood beside Gu Zhou.
Lifting her eyes slightly, she glanced at the cold aura surrounding Gu Zhou.
She narrowed her eyes.
She was curious about what Gu Zhou intended to do.
“Second Young Master, long time no see,” Shen Ming said through gritted teeth.
He had wanted to make Qiao Nian take the blame while Gu Zhou wasn’t around.
But by the looks of it, this plan would no longer work.
Gu Zhou lifted his eyes and looked at Qiao Nian.
The coldness in his aura dissipated to a considerable extent as he said gently, “Nian Nian, you’re too good-tempered.
That’s why you get bullied.”
