4673 Never Too Late to Love (80)

“My boss?”

Although in a sense, he was the boss of Shenze, strictly speaking, he was only a nominal CEO. Shenze officially belonged to the Gu Corporation, and the big boss of the Gu Corporation was probably enjoying life and practicing calligraphy somewhere in the Gu residence.

“Why should he meet with you?”

“Ha! I have something to ask him.”

!!

“What do you wish to ask him?”

“I wish to ask if he should continue to employ someone who has done such indecent deeds.”

“Indecent?” Gu Chengze was genuinely curious what Ye Yuqin meant by indecent.

“You’re swindling!”

Swindling? Gu Chengze’s lips twitched.

“You don’t have a house or a car. I don’t know what kind of crooked methods you used to deceive Bai Sheng. Nowadays, which groom’s family doesn’t offer monetary gifts to buy a house or a car?”

Gu Chengze rubbed his nose and said, “I’ve bought a house and a car. But I’ve never heard of this betrothal gift business.” He had imagined many things that Ye Yuqin would say, but he did not expect that he would be accused of swindling.

Why did he feel so tickled?

Ye Yuqin continued, “Gu Chengze, I advise you to be smart and quickly divorce our Bai Sheng! Otherwise, if this matter gets out of hand, your days in this company might be numbered!”

Oooh…

That didn’t really scare him.

The assistant in charge of serving tea looked at Ye Yuqin coldly.

What’s wrong with her… Doesn’t she know how to speak decently? If she can get herself into CEO Gu’s good book, she’d have nothing to worry about.

Some people really lack perspective. Ye Yuqin simply did not realize what kind of big shot this humble junior sitting in front of her was.

Gu Chengze smiled and nodded. “Why should I divorce her? We just got married. Besides, I didn’t deceive her into this marriage.”

“Where’s the betrothal gift?”

Ye Yuqin said aggressively, “As long as I don’t see the monetary gift, the marriage doesn’t count.”

“How can there be no monetary gift?” Gu Chengze’s words immediately made Ye Yuqin raise her eyebrows suspiciously. However, he continued faintly, “When the opportunity presents, I’ll burn the betrothal gift offering to Uncle and Auntie. You don’t have to worry about it. Or do you wish for part of it too? I don’t mind burning you a little.”

It had always been his intention to accompany Bai Sheng to pay respects and make offerings to her late parents, after they’ve held their wedding ceremony.

However, Ye Yuqin read it differently.

“…” She shook with anger when she heard this!

This kid was clearly cursing her!

“Are you cursing me to die?!”

Gu Chengze said innocently, “No. It’s just that I’ve never heard of a groom that should give a betrothal gift to his wife’s uncle and aunt. I’ve also never heard of any groom agreeing to buy a house and a car for his wife’s uncle and son. Oh, could it be that I’m too outdated?” Every word was like a pearl of wisdom, and very reasonable.

“You…” Ye Yuqin stood up angrily. “Gu Chengze, don’t be so shameless!? Let me tell you, although I am Bai Sheng’s aunt, I am her guardian. I was the one who raised her!”

“There’s an ancient saying about “raising thin horses” in Yangzhou. In my opinion, such a thing still exists in the modern world.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Back then, the salt merchants could be said to be extremely wealthy. Their lifestyle was comparable to the royal family’s. Their wealth also supported a large number of industries that relied on them to survive. “Rearing thin horses”, or else known as human trafficking, was one of them.
