The young woman stood up shyly like a little white rabbit and walked to Gu Zheng. âHello, Brother Gu Zhengâ¦â
Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows. Damn it, sending a woman to Gu Zheng in front of her, his legitimate wife? These people were not taking her seriously at all!
Madam Gu ran over excitedly and introduced her. âGu Zheng, our Shen Ying is a little introverted and shy but sheâs different from certain bold and wild women. Sheâs pure and kind, so Gu Zheng, you have to take care of her when she joins the company in the future, lest she gets bullied.â
After she finished speaking, she even glanced at Qiao Xi with a warning glare. âThere are also certain people⦠Gu Zheng, you have to be careful lest she attacks Shen Ying out of jealousy. If news of this gets out, itâll ruin the Gu familyâs reputation.â
Shen Ying tugged at Madam Guâs sleeve and said softly, âDonât worry, I wonât be bullied.â With that, she quickly looked at Gu Zheng again. âIâll also stay by Brother Gu Zhengâs side and help him with the company so that he wonât be as tired as he is now.â
âGood, good. Shen Ying, youâre really too obedient. Hurry up and pack your things. When Gu Zheng leaves later, go with them.â The noblewoman patted her hand in satisfaction.
Seeing that they had already discussed it among themselves and were even mocking her sarcastically, Qiao Xi finally could not help but say, âGo back with Gu Zheng? Go back where? Are you sure youâre getting him a secretary and not a bed-warming servant?â
Shen Ying stared at Qiao Xi in disbelief. Her almond-shaped eyes were filled with tears as she bit her lip in grievances. âWhat do you mean, Miss Qiao? Are you scolding me?â
The noblewoman did not expect Qiao Xi to suddenly open her mouth and say such nasty words. Her expression instantly darkened. âQiao Xi, donât poke your nose into other peopleâs business. When has it been your turn to interfere in the internal affairs of our Gu family?â
Qiao Xi widened her eyes in surprise. âWhy canât I interfere in the internal affairs of the Gu family? Am I not Gu Zhengâs wife? Also, Iâm very curious about your behavior. You keep saying that Miss Shen Ying is going to the company to be a secretary, so why isnât she reporting to the company? Why do you want her to come home with us?
âYour actions reminded me of some bad things. For example, a certain madam once brought the eldest daughter of the Meng family to Longwan Residential and shamelessly wanted to place Eldest Miss Meng into Gu Zhengâs master bedroom. Arenât you all sending women to Gu Zheng right in front of me? I donât want my man to be tainted by another woman. Whatâs wrong with me saying something about this?â
âYouâ¦â
The noblewoman held back her anger and gnashed her teeth. âAs expected of someone from a small household. Your heart is so dirty. Shen Ying is Gu Zhengâs personal secretary and is in charge of Gu Zhengâs basic necessities. Of course, she has to go home with Gu Zheng.â
At this moment, Shen Ying also said with tearful eyes, âMiss Qiao, donât worry. I wonât fight with you over anything. Iâm just Brother Gu Zhengâs personal secretary. I heard that Brother Gu Zheng often doesnât eat on time. I want to take good care of him. How can his body handle not eating on time?â
These words⦠were words often said by a mistress.
The noblewoman continued to mock at the side, âShen Ying, you donât have to say much to her. Someone like Miss Qiao doesnât have much knowledge and sees things differently from us. Sheâs just a stupid woman who only knows how to cling to men. I wouldnât be surprised if someone like her is abandoned by Gu Zheng one day.
âShen Ying, donât worry. Just be at ease and do what you want. If Gu Zheng is really interested in you, thatâs normal. After all, youâre so outstanding. Youâre not someone some boorish women can compare to.â
Shen Ying lowered her head shyly.
Although she did not say anything, it was obvious from her expression that she was looking forward to having Gu Zheng take a liking to her.
Qiao Xi: ââ¦â
These people were really powerful. They had arranged everything and even found an excuse for Gu Zheng to cheat on Qiao Xi in the future.
âYouâre quite lucky with women,â Qiao Xi berated Gu Zheng.
It seemed Meng Wan was not enough as there was now Shen Ying.
Gu Zheng grabbed Qiao Xiâs hand, then turned to look at Shen Ying. âYou want to be my secretary?â
Shen Yingâs heart thumped as she grabbed the corner of her shirt nervously. âYes, Brother Gu Zheng. Iâve admired you for a long time. As long as you agree to let me be your personal secretary, Iâm willing to do anything.â
Gu Zheng nodded. Before Shen Ying could be happy, she heard Gu Zheng say indifferently, âI have high requirements for my secretary. Why donât you answer a few of my questions first?â
