Chapter 382: The Already Precarious Relationship

"He was always timid and weak by nature. We grew up together," you might not believe it, but when we were children, I was the one protecting him. Though he is kind-hearted and extremely talented, it was no easy task for him to file complaints on my behalf, and I don't blame him."

Zhou Xue said softly, her voice utterly devoid of emotion.

Gu Qiaoqiao fell silent.

In her heart, she actually disliked Zheng Xiao.

If he had married Gu Yajing, he should have cleanly cut ties with Zhou Xue and then kept an eye on his own wife, ensuring she didn't seek revenge or trouble Zhou Xue.

But he had failed to do any of that.

"Zhou Xue, may I ask you a question?"

"Go ahead."

"If Gu Yajing were dealt with, and Zheng Xiao regained his freedom, would you still be with him?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked seriously.

It was then she remembered the scene of Zheng Xiao and Zhou Xue jumping into the river hand in hand.

Zhou Xue was stunned.

It seemed she had never considered this question before.
