In the morning, Xie Ru spent her time observing at the Gu Corporation building.
In exchange for a few pets with Xiao Gu, she was able to obtain quite some information about the corporation and Gu Liao.
“Did you have a good time?”
“It was okay. They told me a lot of embarrassing things about you. It was very funny. It turns out that you don’t like the company so much!”
“I’m just an average person. I was curious in the past, but later on, I felt that things got a little monotonous. All my efforts were wasted.”
Xie Ru nodded slightly. It was only then that she realized that at this age, the man was already the person in charge of Gu Corporation.
“Mom, I am not willing. I will not do it.”
“Wutong, you have to endure it. Xie Ru, that b*tch, is still alive and well. How can we give up?”
Qin Zhen’s face was full of tears as her eyes were red and swollen. Xie Wutong’s body was curled up in her arms, as she cried her heart out.
“But Mom, even though those people at Gray Bar didn’t touch me, Gu Liao didn’t let anyone insult me. Can you and Dad just stand by and watch? In any case, I’m not willing to let things go.”
“You’re not letting anything go, Xie Wutong. Everyone knows about your incident. If they didn’t help you cover up the incident well, those on the board of directors would have reported it to your grandfather a long time ago.”
After she was thrown into Gray Bar by Gu Liao that day, she thought it was all over for her. But for some reason, none of those people touched her. It was as if she was some unclean thing as they kept their distance from her.
“Father, Gu Liao only warned me. He didn’t really lay a hand on me. This means that he still has me in his heart. I was his fiancée to begin with.”
Xie Zhen glared at Xie Wutong. She was still having wishful thinking. The Gu family would not want a blind daughter-in-law, nor would they want an unclean one, even if that was not the case.
The Gu family was especially cold-blooded in such matters, all because of the sins committed by the generation of the old master of the Gu family.
Xie Ru would be driven out of the Gu family sooner or later. Everyone in the capital knew this, but Xie Wutong could not understand and was extremely stupid.
“The Gu family will not let unclean people in.”
“Father, those people did not touch me. It was all a misunderstanding.”
“Did anyone see it? Were you not the one who took her own clothes off and screamed? And weren’t you the one sent to the hospital from Gray Bar?”
Xie Wutong’s eyes widened. Everyone had seen it. They stood at the corner of the street and mocked her wantonly.
She wasn’t a clown or a house sparrow.
“Dad, I’m your only daughter. You must help me. I want Xie Ru to pay the price. If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have become like this. I want her reputation to be ruined.”
“Then be honest and let the limelight die down slowly. I’ll arrange it after your grandfather’s birthday banquet.”
Xie Wutong’s face went dark. Her fingertips dug into her flesh, but she paid it no attention.
“I’ll get the driver to send you back later.”
Xie Ru looked at Gu Liao in confusion. Did Gu Liao not want to go back with her?
“I have something to take care of. I’m afraid I’ll be very late.”
“Okay.”
Xie Ru scolded herself internally. Since when did she become such a little woman? What Gu Liao was doing really had nothing to do with her. She could just drive back by herself if she wanted to.
The scenery outside the window drifted past her eyes. Only the lights comforted her trembling heart.
Suddenly, a blue light flickered on Xie Ru’s wrist, and it was especially bright in the dark car.
She almost forgot about the whale’s tears agreement with Q.
But how was she going to escape now? Would Gu Liao suspect her?
Xie Ru cursed in her heart. This feeling of being watched was really not good. She didn’t know if making a decision to come to the capital was a good choice.
“Miss X, you know that I hate it the most when others are late. I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation.”
Gu Liao’s expression was completely hidden under the mask and couldn’t be seen clearly.
“Mr. Q, it’s my fault for being late. But please don’t be so petty over this one time. May I ask if you still have a bit of a gentlemanly demeanor?”
“What’s wrong with you? I’m very disappointed with your level of cooperation.”
Xie Ru snorted coldly. Such an annoying fellow.
“Q, I’ll tell Joseph that we won’t be working together anymore. You’re the worst person I’ve ever met.”
Although the two of them had a big fight just now, it did not affect their performance at all. In a sense, the two of them had an unspoken understanding of each other..
