MINE ALONE - Season 9 Episode 94

Gu Corporation’s official account stated: [Hello, netizens. Let’s make it clear that the people in the photo are our president and Young Madam. Someone deliberately said that they were having an affair, so we’ve already sent a lawyer’s letter to the person who slandered the president and Young Madam. Please treat this matter rationally and not say anything baseless.]

Actually, Qiao Xi did not care about this matter. At this moment, she was more concerned about something else. She hurriedly asked, “Third Brother, did I leave you for a period of time when I was young?”

Qin An thought about it carefully. “Of course! You’ve always liked to run around since you were young. You were too young in the past, so I was worried. When you grew up, I wasn’t as strict with you anymore. You could learn whatever you liked, so you would be away from us for longer periods of time. I don’t know which time you’re talking about.”

Qiao Xi continued to ask, “Was there a time when I acted a little strangely after coming back as though I lost my memory?”

Hearing Qiao Xi’s words, Gu Zheng, who was sitting on the chair, slowly raised his eyes and looked over.

Qin An replied without hesitation, “Lost your memory? How is that possible? If you lost your memory, we would definitely know!”

Qiao Xi only felt a dull pain in her heart. The scene that appeared in her dream just now felt terrifyingly real. Was it really just a dream or was it a trace of memory in her mind? However, Third Brother would not lie to her. If Third Brother said no, then it was either nothing had happened or he did not know the truth.

After hanging up, Qiao Xi suddenly smelled a fragrance as she lay on the bed. She raised her eyes and saw that Gu Zheng was holding a tray in his hand. There was a bowl of seafood porridge and two plates of side dishes on it. He placed the tray on the table and carried the bowl to the bed. He scooped a mouthful of porridge and blew on it before bringing it to Qiao Xi’s mouth. She habitually opened her mouth, and the warm porridge entered her mouth with the fresh smell of seafood. Her entire body instantly warmed up.

“We were photographed at the supermarket?” Gu Zheng asked softly.

Qiao Xi suddenly frowned and pouted unhappily. “If you hadn’t messed around in the private room, would I have worn a scarf and sunglasses? I wouldn’t have been mistaken for a mistress either.”

She looked aggrieved and said sweetly, “They all said that I’ve been abandoned. They said that Mrs. Gu is an abandoned wife of a rich family. They even said that we’re already divorced and anyone has a chance to be Mrs. Gu.”

Gu Zheng’s expression was indifferent as the corners of his lips curled up. “Don’t care about those rumors.”

Qiao Xi frowned. “How can I not care? Actually, I don’t care what they say about me. It’s just that I can’t stand them saying that you cheated on me. You clearly love me so much and can’t bear for me to suffer at all, but you were called a scumbag. Even my third brother was so angry that he said he wanted to poison you.

“They’re clearly jealous that you’re handsome and rich. They’ll magnify your mistakes no matter what. However, they don’t know how much effort you’ve put in behind the scenes. They think that all your current achievements are because you’re the son of the Gu family.”

Qiao Xi was indignant on his behalf, but Gu Zheng didn’t care. He said indifferently, “They’re just some netizens who listen to rumors. You don’t have to be angry because of this. Those who hate me will hate me no matter how I explain it. Those who like me won’t slander me because of rumors, so there’s no need to explain. Don’t read this useless information either. It’ll affect your mood.”

“But—”

“Xi Xi.” Gu Zheng interrupted her with a smile. “Those are all strangers who we’ve never met. It doesn’t matter what they think of us. To them, we’re just a topic of conversation. Before long, they’ll have new topics to talk about.”

Gu Zheng glanced at his phone and said softly, “Rest after you’re done eating. I have a meeting tomorrow morning and can’t accompany you to Heavenly Voice’s headquarters, but I’ve already prepared a gift. I believe you’ll like it.”

Other men might have given her a ring and a bouquet of flowers, but Gu Zheng was simple and crude. He gave her an entire company. Indeed, even a domineering president was so generous.

When Heavenly Voice Entertainment was first established, Gu Zheng had said that this company belonged to a friend. It was just temporarily under Gu Corporation’s name and would be returned to her when that friend returned. The company had been developing very well all these years. They thought that since it was handed to Gu Zheng’s younger brother, Gu Yao, to manage, it probably would not be returned to that friend.

However, no one expected that not long after the new year, Gu Zheng would announce that Heavenly Voice Entertainment would leave Gu Corporation and merge with Qingfeng Entertainment. At that time, the new president would appear to handle all the matters of the two companies. This news shocked the entire entertainment industry. It was unprecedented for two top entertainment companies in the country to merge.
