In the evening, Lu Zheng called her, but Qiao Zhen didn't answer. Instead, she blocked the user and threw her phone aside.

She sat on the balcony, hugging her knees and looking at the scenery. Suddenly, she remembered how happy her family was when she was in school.

However, as time has passed, many things no longer exist.

Thinking of this, she suddenly recalled the impressions Lu Zheng had of her family.

If she really wanted to break ties with Lu Zheng, it would be difficult to explain to her mother and younger brother.

Thinking about this, Qiao Zhen felt a little irritated. Just as she was wondering what to do, Gu Xijue called.

Qiao Zhen hesitated for a moment, but still accepted.

"Zhenzhen, I didn't expect you to answer my call."

On the other end of the phone, Gu Xijue's voice was full of surprise.

Qiao Zhen pursed her lips and said, "What's wrong? Tell me quickly."

After what happened last time, Qiao Zhen was still somewhat disheartened towards him.

"Zhenzhen, I'm not here to seek your forgiveness this time. I just want to express my feelings to you."

Hearing this, Qiao Zhen frowned: "No need."

As she spoke, Qiao Zhen was about to hang up the phone.

Gu Xijue suddenly stopped her: "Zhenzhen, give me another chance!"

"I know how you feel about me, but the way you express it is something I can't agree with."

“I know I misled you before, but I am also a person who will make sacrifices. If you don’t refuse me, I will transfer one of my companies to you tomorrow.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen was taken aback for a moment, then refused, saying, "No, thank you."

They weren't that close yet.

However, Gu Xijue seemed very persistent, shaking his head and saying, "Zhenzhen, I'm sincere. I'm just trying to show you my sincerity. I don't want anything from you, but at least don't push me away, okay?"

There was a deathly silence on the other end of the phone.

Qiao Zhen did indeed fall silent. To be honest, she wasn't that disappointed in Gu Xijue, but after hearing what he said, Qiao Zhen really needed to re-examine her relationship with Gu Xijue.

"Gu Xijue." Qiao Zhen took a deep breath and said very seriously, "I have confirmed my relationship with Lu Zheng."

Whether Lu Zheng had a grudge against their family or was only pretending to be nice to her, the fact that she and Lu Zheng were in a relationship was undeniable.

If Qiao Zhen accepts Gu Xijue's kindness because of this, it would be unfair to him.

Unexpectedly, Gu Xijue didn't seem surprised at all and said, "It's okay, Zhenzhen. I just want to stay by your side."

“These are two different things. If I accept your company, it would be unfair to Lu Zheng,” Qiao Zhen said.

Although Lu Zheng did those things to her, one thing is one thing, and moral bottom lines cannot be crossed.

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone before Gu Xijue finally said, "Zhenzhen, do you think he really loves you?"

Qiao Zhen was stunned when she heard the question.

Because she was genuinely unsure whether Lu Zheng truly loved her.

Perhaps a few days ago, she would have hesitated and nodded at this question, but at this moment, she simply couldn't say a definite answer.

"Actually, I know some things." Qiao Zhen sighed. She could still trust Gu Xijue.

"What's up?"

No one noticed that Gu Xijue's voice trembled slightly when he said this.

"...I discovered that the things I found out about my father's company were his doing."

Qiao Zhen said nervously. Even though the incident had already happened and she had known about it for so long, she still couldn't help but feel flustered when the topic was brought up again.

There was silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a deep sense of concern.

How are you now? Are you alright?

Hearing Gu Xijue's gentle voice on the other end of the phone, Qiao Zhen suddenly couldn't hold back her tears.

Only those who truly care about her will continue to dwell on her feelings at this time.

"I...I'm fine now."

Qiao Zhen wiped away her tears and said bravely.

"Now that you're officially in a relationship with him, what should you do in the future..."

"I still have to go to work; I can't just leave this matter unresolved."

At this point, a determined glint flashed in Qiao Zhen's eyes.

She couldn't possibly give up on her path of revenge because of this.

For her, revenge and family were more important than anything else.

"Zhenzhen, if you need help, you can come to me anytime. I will do my best to help you."

Hearing this, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but feel touched: "Thank you, Gu Xijue."

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Zhen stared at her phone screen, suddenly at a loss for what to do.

She suddenly wanted to know who the person who sent him the package was.

Thinking of this, Qiao Zhen went into the USB drive again to check the folder, repeatedly examining the evidence inside.

Then she suddenly noticed a woman's fingernail in the lower right corner of the photo.

Seeing this, Qiao Zhen squinted, feeling that the fingernails looked somewhat familiar.

She immediately opened her WeChat Moments to search for him.

Finally, I found the same nail polish in Shen Yan's WeChat Moments post from a few days ago.

Upon seeing this, Qiao Zhen's gaze darkened.

Qiao Zhen found backups of all the evidence she provided online, and all the evidence was genuine.

Now she's curious about how Shenyan knew about this evidence.

Thinking of this, Qiao Zhen's eyes darkened, and he prepared to find a time to ask her out.

Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door. In the dead of night, Qiao Zhen was startled.
