Qiao Xi was dumbstruck. If Xia Yunlou’s actions were indeed an imitation, then after the target disappeared, she could finally reveal her true nature. She became as shrewish and vicious as she was now.

At this moment, Qiao Xi’s mind was slightly chaotic. She really wanted to know where the real Xia Yunlou had gone. Was she already dead, or had she escaped?

Gu Zheng stroked her hair gently and changed the topic. “Actually, Old Madam Xia was a little similar to Old Madam Yin when she was young.”

Qiao Xi raised her eyes and took a glance. She casually flipped through a few photos of Xia Cheng and Old Madam Xia. They indeed looked very similar to her grandmother. She sneered. “How laughable. The first wife gave birth to his children and helped him manage the company, but he fell in love with a woman who looks similar to the first wife.”

Xia Cheng found a good reason for his affair. He fell in love with Old Madam Xia because she looked like Yin Lianxin, so he was not a scumbag. It was just that he had been too lonely all these years.

Qiao Xi thought for a moment. If she were her grandmother, she would definitely hate Xia Cheng even more. Xia Cheng had probably explained this to her grandmother back then, so her grandmother divorced him without the slightest hesitation and completely cut off all ties with the Xia family.

The two of them did not find any useful clues and returned to the guest room. Qiao Xi leaned into Gu Zheng’s embrace and asked softly, “Ah Zheng, do you know why the Xia family is forcing me to stay here?”

“I don’t know,” Gu Zheng replied indifferently.

“They poisoned me.”

Actually, Gu Zheng had long known about the Xia family’s plan when he was hiding outside the door, but when Qiao Xi asked him that, he was unable to suppress the killing intent in his heart.

“Not only did they poison me, but they also fed me an antidote. They’re not sure if the antidote will work, so they’re testing it on me. They treat me like a lab rat.”

After that, Qiao Xi smiled. “Unfortunately, this poison is useless against me, and I’m unable to help them test the medicine. Since they’ve done this to me, I can’t easily let them off.”

“Mrs. Gu, how do you want to deal with them?” Gu Zheng hugged her soft waist and asked softly.

Qiao Xi smiled sinisterly. “I want them to know that not only is there no benefit in inviting me over, but I’ll also pose a big problem to them! I’m already very satisfied that I was able to find that photo album and my mother’s belongings on this trip today. You can leave first.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Xi lay on the sofa and pretended to be unconscious again. She was very curious about how the Xia family and Gu Zheng were poisoned together. What was the relationship between the Xia and Lu families?

Gu Zheng stood up, and the smile on the corners of his mouth suddenly stiffened. The scene before his eyes suddenly became blurry. He rubbed his eyes. Fortunately, Qiao Xi did not see his abnormality.

Qiao Xi thought that she had already detoxified the poison in his body and the two of them were already connected by blood, so he would never be blind again. But in reality…

Gu Zheng’s eyes were gradually losing light. He could only rely on the light coming from the window to determine the direction. He adjusted his breathing and said softly, “Mrs. Gu, be careful. I’ll wait for your good news.”

Without waiting for Qiao Xi’s response, Gu Zheng opened the window and nimbly climbed out. Qiao Xi was slightly surprised. Why did the man who was still worried just now suddenly leave?

At this moment, the Xia family was probably already surrounded by Gu Zheng’s people. Their plan was within Gu Zheng’s expectations, so he was at ease leaving her alone here and letting her deal with the Xia family.

Just as her thoughts were running wild, footsteps came from outside the door. Xia Ji asked softly, “Dad, is the antidote really effective?”

Xia Cheng smiled proudly. “That’s a medicine developed by the Medical Association. Even if this medicine is useless, we can continue to use Qiao Xi to try other antidotes. One of them will definitely be effective.”

Qiao Xi sneered in her heart. They really treated her as a lab rat. No matter what, she was still human. They actually didn’t care about her at all. Perhaps they had done many such vicious things behind her back. This group of people was really the scum of society!

Old Madam Xia’s voice suddenly sounded as she laughed so hard that it made one nauseous. “Get Mengyan to prepare to go to Longwan Residential later. President Gu will definitely like her. With Mengyan by his side, he won’t be in the mood to care about Qiao Xi’s life!”

Xia Cheng’s voice was serious. “Don’t be anxious. We’ll talk about it when Qiao Xi wakes up. If that medicine works, we have to keep her as the antidote! But we can’t detain her here for no reason. We have to have a good reason, or else…”
