Chapter 13: Leaving in Two Months
“What?”
Yan Yuxiao suddenly realized what the truth was. “Isn’t Miss Qin…” she said in a tone of disbelief.
“Don’t worry. I won’t let her stay at our Gu Family! That woman is also clever. She seems to have signed a contract with Zijin, promising to leave in two months. ”
The Elderly Lady Gu snorted with disdain. She felt lucky that Qin Muxuan was smart enough, otherwise she would have to take some measures to force Qin Muxuan to leave.
“But what if Brother Zijin doesn’t agree?”
“What reason does he have to reject this arrangement? Zijin has obeyed me since he was a boy. Why would he disobey me now? Because of what? A woman who has trapped him?” She snorted. “Yuxiao, you have a secret affection for him, haven’t you? It would be such a pity to see your feelings go to waste. ”
“Grandma, what are you taking about!”
Yan Yuxiao wiped her tears away. The Elderly Lady Gu sighed, “Do you think that I can’t sense your affection for Zijin since I am old and my eyesight is bad? Only a person like Zijin, who is very dull in feelings, can hardly understand your kindness to him. But now he has a child of his own. No matter how much I like you, I won’t let you get involved in our family chores.”
Yan Yuxiao held the Elderly Lady Gu’s hand quickly, “Grandma, I’m not afraid of that and I will do anything for him.”
There was a gleam of joy in the Elderly Lady Gu’s eyes.
She said, “You really don’t mind Xiaobai?”
“He is Brother Zijin’s son. How can I mind him? Moreover, it was because Brother Zijin was trapped…”
“Good child, good child.”
The Elderly Lady Gu held Yan Yuxiao’s hand, saying, “Don’t worry. Since you still love him, I will definitely help you.”
“Grandma, thank you.”
“Oh, don’t mention it. But if you marry Zijin in the future, you must call me great-grandmother like Zijin.”
Yan Yuxiao smiled shyly.
“Grandma, what are you taking about!”
“Crikey, are you shy?”
They bantered with each other. At this time, Mrs. Gu came in with a plate of furit.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“Mother, have some fruit. It has just been cut by the servant.”
“Yuxiao, help yourself to some. I am too old now, and I guess I won’t be able to bite the fruit in a few years.”
“No, grandma. You are always the youngest and most beautiful woman in my mind. You even look better than many famous stars.”
“You are such a honey-lipped girl.”
Ye Han glanced at Yan Yuxiao, thinking that the Elderly Lady Gu already had aged, so she would naturally prefer the person who treated her heart to heart. But Ye Han didn’t like Yan Yuxiao that much. Yan Yuxiao had been to the Gu Family so frequently over the years, which made her feel that Yan Yuxiao was just a seemingly innocent girl.
Actually, she liked Qin Muxuan more than Yan Yuxiao.
The Gu Group.
When it was time for lunch, Qin Muxuan went to the staff restaurant to have a meal and sat down casually.
The food of the Gu Group was really nice, and every dish was made by five-star chefs. Chu Feng saw that the seat opposite Qin Muxuan was vacant, so he sat across from her with his plate. After the morning’s discussion, he increasingly felt that Qin Muxuan was a woman with keen eyes. Both the design drafts and schemes she provided were very deep and feasible, which made him appreciate her a little more.
While they were eating and talking, a group of people came from the door of the restaurant. Gu Zijin stood in the forefront, looking so reserved and noble. He was followed by other senior leaders of the company.
Qin Muxuan was lost in thought. ‘Doesn’t he have lunch?’
“You are here for the first time, so you may not know that the person who just passed by is the President of our company.”
“I know him. There are a lot of reports about him in the financial news.”
Chu Feng smiled awkwardly, saying, “I almost forgot that our boss is actually a man of the hour.”
“Chu Feng, how long have you worked in this company? What kind of person is your President?” Qin Muxuan asked in a seemingly casual way.
Qin Feng thought for a moment and said, “I met him several times. I think he is a very strict person. His superiority made him look difficult to approach. But I think his personal habits are not very good. At the annual meeting last year, he was taken to hospital due to stomach bleeding.”
“So you need to eat more, too. When I saw you immersed in the design, I was afraid you would get sick because of hard work like our President.”
“How can it be!”
Although he might talk casually, she took it seriously. Qin Muxuan silently remembered his words. So she could prepare in advance to prevent such things from happening in these two months.
After all, Gu Zijin was too unpredictable as a man of action.
Qin Muxuan stood alone at the door of the company when she was off work, thinking about how to get home. Then Chu Feng drove by Qin Muxuan and asked her, “Would you like me to give you a lift?”
“No, thanks.”
“Okay, be careful then.”
Chu Feng’s car gradually disappeared from her sight. Qin Muxuan took out the phone and glanced at the balance of her bank card with mixed feelings. A taxi from here to the hilltop castle would definitely cost several hundred yuan, and Gu Zijin didn’t mention that he would take her home after work…
After thinking over and over again, Qin Muxuan finally decided to compromise with money. Then she came to the underground garage and stood by Gu Zijin’s car, waiting.
It was already eight o’clock in the evening when Gu Zijin finished the business. He never cared about his working hours, so it was normal for him to work late.
“Lisa, give me another cup of coffee.”
“President, it is too late now, and you’d better go back and have a rest.”
“It doesn’t matter. Anyway, there is nothing to do…”
Gu Zijin did not finish the whole sentence. A face flashed through his mind. Qin Muxuan…
“Well, help me to tidy up, and I have to go now.”
Lisa froze. It seemed to be the first time the President had accepted her proposal so directly…
Gu Zijin strode towards the private elevator. Then he pressed the button on the eleventh floor. However, he found that the lights on the eleventh floor had long gone out and the office was locked.
Gu Zijin smiled slightly. After all, how could Qin Muxuan be so silly that she was still waiting for him? Moreover, he believed that even if she was still waiting for him, she would send him a text message.
After arriving at the underground garage, Gu Zijin took out the car key from the fine-textured trouser pocket and unlocked the car.
“Ah!”
A scream suddenly came up beside the car. Gu Zijin was stunned, seeing that Qin Muxuan seemed to be awakened. She stood frozen with a shocked and dazed look, as if a strong gust of wind had blustered across her face.
“Why are you here?”
Qin Muxuan rubbed her eyes. She fell asleep leaning against the car while she was waiting. As soon as she was awakened, she saw Gu Zijin standing in front of her, which made her feel more scared than someone watching a horror movie.
“I’m waiting for you…”
The corners of Gu Zijin’s lips lifted. He couldn’t help doubting Qin Muxuan’s IQ for the first time.
“Can’t you take a taxi home before I get off work? Why don’t you call me?”
“I don’t have your phone number…”
Gu Zijin didn’t know if he should be angry or laugh.
He said, “Get in the car.”
Gu Zijin kept looking straight ahead along the way, driving orderly. After glancing at Qin Muxuan, an idea flashed in his mind.
He asked, “Qin Muxuan. Are you waiting by my car because you don’t want to pay hundreds of yuan for a taxi?”
“…”
He had guessed it exactly right. Qin Muxuan didn’t even know how to refute him, because what Gu Zijin said was true.
The sudden stopping of the Bentley almost plunged Qin Muxuan forward. But fortunately, the recoil force of this car was not so strong.
Gu Zijin said softly, “Since you are reluctant to spend money, why did you refuse the money I gave you in the first place?”
“This is different.”
“What’s the difference? Five years ago, didn’t you want to use a physical transaction for a sum of money that could save your Qin Family? I just didn’t give you the money.”
His words hit her weak spot. Qin Muxuan’s eyes were full of anger.
She said, “Gu Zijin, don’t go too far!”
