Gu Chen laughed, "Are you planning to let rest at ho for a year or so, nourish my stomach back to health, and then go out to work?"
"Yes!"
"It’s not impossible, but who’s going to support ?"
Gu Li didn’t notice the fleeting smile in Gu Chen’s eyes. Without a second thought, she replied, "! There are no bad people in New City now, so I’ll go back to work and support you."
"Oh?"
eting Gu Chen’s teasing gaze, Gu Li suddenly realized what she’d said. She instinctively covered her mouth, her face slightly flushed, and stamred, "I... I didn’t an that."
"Hmm, I know. You actually ant sothing else."
Gu Li was about to nod, but then she heard Gu Chen say, "If you want to support , there must be so kind of relationship. Besides, our guardianship relationship is canceled. What kind of relationship do you think we should have now?"
"..."
Gu Li had never seen this manipulative side of Gu Chen before, and she was so taken aback she forgot what kind of expression to make.
"Since there’s no relationship, let’s each support ourselves. Don’t worry, this is your house, I’ll pay the rent on ti."
Gu Li suddenly looked up, "Who wants you to pay rent! Gu Chen, how can you be like this!"
Gu Chen frowned. How did he beco like what?
"Fine, if you like to tire yourself out, go ahead. I’ll start going back to work at the company tomorrow."
His brows knitted together. Going back to work? That depends on what position the company assigns her to. If he rembered correctly, she was Xiao Qing’s manager and assistant. Wouldn’t it be reasonable for him to ask soone from Xiao Qing’s team?
Gu Li didn’t know that from this day on, Gu Chen began plotting against her from behind the scenes.
-
Xiao Qing was about to ask Lu Jinyang sothing when the phone rang. After checking the caller ID repeatedly, she confird she hadn’t picked up the wrong phone.
Seeing Xiao Qing not answering the phone, Lu Jinyang furrowed his brows, "Whose call is it?"
"Gu Chen’s." She handed the phone to him, "You take it."
Feeling it wasn’t appropriate to answer her husband’s brother’s call in front of him, she simply passed the phone to Lu Jinyang to handle it.
Lu Jinyang took the phone, turned on the speaker, but didn’t speak.
"Sister-in-law? I have sothing I’d like to consult you about, are you free now?"
Gu Chen’s voice ca from the other end, sounding quite polite. Lu Jinyang said, "Speak!"
"President Lu?" Gu Chen on the other end felt a bit awkward. Calling his brother’s wife late at night didn’t really sound appropriate, but he sincerely didn’t want his brother to see his awkward situation.
If he had known Lu Jinyang would answer, he would have just called Lu Jinyang directly.
"State your business, or I’ll hang up." With that, Lu Jinyang was about to hang up.
"Wait, I’ll say... is sister-in-law there beside you?"
Lu Jinyang glanced at her and humd, "Yes."
"Here’s the thing, Gu Li is sister-in-law’s assistant. Sister-in-law hasn’t been filming recently, so Gu Li hasn’t had work but is still being paid. To save the company expenses, I’m thinking of having her be my assistant. I wonder what sister-in-law thinks...?"
Lu Jinyang was extrely disdainful, "If you want her around to serve you, just say so. Why go around in such a big circle, isn’t it tiring?"
Gu Chen was embarrassed.
Xiao Qing was speechless.
"You’re in charge in New City now, arrange it however you want."
"Beep beep beep~"
