Chapter 89: A High Hat for Green Tea

Gu Huai's voice suddenly sank, "Your own child will definitely dislike you. Don't say such things again."

Lu Zhenzhu curled her lips, "I like children, but you don't save me..."

She spoke in a complaining tone and looked dissatisfied.

Gu Huai stared at her without saying a word. The scrutiny in his eyes made Lu Zhenzhu very unhappy, as if he was talking to her.

Don’t you know why I didn’t save you?

He always felt that it was she who pushed Jiang Sesur.

She suffered a loss in this matter. It was a misunderstanding, so she had to seize the opportunity.

Her eyes fell on Gu's father. The man who had been shouting non-stop was not sure whether he was frightened or shocked by her words, and he did not scold her, which was unusual.

After all, he is Gu Huai's child, and he will be his grandfather in the future.

Lu Zhenzhu stopped when she saw that things were going well, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and stood up to sit next to Jiang Sesu.

Jiang Sese was like a frightened bird, so scared that she immediately got up and ran to Gu Huai to seek a sense of security.

Seeing her intention, Lu Zhenzhu quickly grabbed her hand and said, "I was afraid that you would rush over and hurt the child, but it was wrong for me to hit you. I apologize to you, I'm really sorry. If you feel wronged, just hit me back."

Jiang Sesu wanted to get rid of her, but she didn't know where the woman got the strength from, and she couldn't break free at all.

Fight back?

Lu Zhenzhu admitted her mistake and apologized now. If she fought back, what would Ah Huai and Uncle Gu think of her?

Uncle Gu and Ah Huai kept silent, so that meant they just had to apologize.

There was a suffocating feeling in her chest. Jiang Sese never thought that she could suffer a loss when she was beaten. Her chest was so angry that it rose and fell violently, and she had to pretend to be generous and kind.

"How could I hit Sister Zhenzhu? It's just a misunderstanding, let's just talk it out."

She squeezed out every word from between her teeth, and in her heart she longed to eat Lu Zhenzhu alive.

Lu Zhenzhu said sincerely, "I knew that sister Sese wouldn't bear grudge against me. I'm narrow-minded, but sister is very tolerant and gentle, kind-hearted. Unlike me, if someone bullies me or wrongs me, I will bear a grudge for the rest of my life if I fail to retaliate."

Jiang Sesu originally wanted to say a few words to her, but when she was flattered, the sarcastic words got stuck in her throat. It was like a punch on cotton, and she was the only one who had to work hard.

Father Gu's face darkened when he heard this. He sneered, "How dare you say that?"

Lu Zhenzhu said calmly, "What's the big deal? No one is perfect."

Gu Huai stared at her with a dark look in his eyes.

Did she say this on purpose for him to hear?

Everyone had their own thoughts. Seeing that Father Gu was still dissatisfied, Lu Zhenzhu said, "Sister Sese, to express my sincere apology, how about we go shopping? You pick out the things and I pay?"

There was a ruthless look in Jiang Sesu's eyes.

Since she offered to pay the bill, she had to make some retaliatory purchases, since it was Lu Zhenzhu who suggested it anyway.

Suddenly, she had a plan of revenge in her mind, and Jiang Sesu smiled sincerely, "Okay, but I have to trouble my sister to spend money."

Lu Zhenzhu smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. I should apologize for what I did wrong."

Father Gu's expression softened, but he still snorted, "That's more like it."

Gu Huai wanted to be alone with Lu Zhenzhu, so he said, "Dad, Sese hasn't eaten yet. Take Sese to eat."

Jiang Sesu didn't want the two of them to be alone together, and couldn't find an excuse to stay, so she was reluctant to go out.

Lily was packing things on her desk, sobbing as she did so. When she saw her come out, her dull eyes suddenly lit up, and she was about to put down her things and go find her.

Seeing her movements, Jiang Sesu glanced at Father Gu beside him and warned Lily fiercely.

Lily stopped.

"Uncle Gu, don't you have a document you haven't finished reading? I'm fine now. You don't have to accompany me. I can eat alone. Do you want to focus on your work first?"

The document that Gu's father wanted was expedited, so he agreed without thinking much.

After he left, Jiang Sesu was waiting for Lily in the stairwell.

Lily came over after receiving her text message and started crying when she saw her, "Ms. Jiang, I did what you said to my wife, and Mr. Gu fired me. You must help me. I don't want to lose this job."

The crying voice made Jiang Sesu's already depressed mood even more irritable.

"Have you cried enough? If you have, shut up. I gave you a small task, but you didn't even do it and you were fired. What's the point of having you?"

Lily covered her mouth with her hand.

"Who fired you?"

"It's Mr. Gu." Lily briefly explained the whole story. Jiang Sesu was uneasy and her fingers curled up and tightened.

He defended Lu Zhenzhu in front of those people in the secretariat and openly displayed their affection. Where did he put her?

Regarding what happened today, he stopped talking as soon as Lu Zhenzhu started crying, and he had begun to soften his heart.

In the past, he would definitely make Lu Zhenzhu apologize, and even if Lu Zhenzhu was unwilling, he would use drastic measures.

Ah Huai is becoming more and more concerned about Lu Zhenzhu.

Jiang Sesu began to feel uneasy, her eyes flashing with cruelty, "I can't do anything about your dismissal, but I can give you some money. Lu Zhenzhu caused you to be dismissed, so you don't hate her?"

"Destroying someone's financial resources is like killing their parents. If it were me, anyone who tried to stop my career path would be killed, and I wouldn't let them have an easy time. We're all leaving anyway, so why not vent my anger before we leave?"

She patted Lily's shoulder.

"I'll give you a year's salary, think carefully about what I said."

Lily stared at her back with a fierce look in her eyes.

In the president's office.

Lu Zhenzhu finished her chicken soup, put down the bowl, wiped her mouth, and reached out to the man who was placing his chopsticks flat on the bowl. "I'm going out shopping this afternoon. Give me some money."

Gu Huai took out a black card from his wallet, but didn't give it to her immediately. His eyes were fixed on her quietly.

The woman reached out to take it, and he held the black card high.

"Azhu, say something nice."

Lu Zhenzhu's face darkened. "If you don't tell me, you won't give it to me?"

"We are husband and wife. Every penny you earn now is half mine. I have to say a few nice words to you before I ask you for money. Gu Huai, what do you take me for?"

Her face was cold, "Is she one of your employees or a woman who threw herself into your arms for money?"

Seeing that she was angry, Gu Huai pursed his lips, stuffed the black card into her hand, put his arm around her shoulders and pulled her into his arms.

"I just want you to act like a spoiled child with me. Tell me, how long has it been since you acted like a spoiled child with me?"

His tone was also mixed with dissatisfaction.

Hearing his dissatisfaction, Lu Zhenzhu sneered in her heart.

Still want her to act coquettishly and cutely to him like before?

He also didn't want to think about what he had done to her.

This man never reflects on himself.

Pushing the man away, Lu Zhenzhu didn't take his black card, but returned it to him. "Mr. Gu's black card has conditions for use. I don't dare to take it. Mr. Gu, please take it back."

She stood up and was about to leave, "I regret it now. I won't bring you food tomorrow."

Gu Huai grabbed her wrist, pulled her into his arms, and put his arms around her waist. "Are you angry already?"
