After being bound to a quick transmigration system, Yun Chiyi was assigned the task of conquering the obsessive male supporting characters. After several attempts, Yun Chiyi simply lay flat, saying...
Chapter 8: The Fake Heiress's Escape from Marriage - Suit Jacket
As promised, Yun Chiyi pretended to be asleep, and fell asleep within two minutes of lying down.
Gong Mufeng opened the car door and saw her curled up in the back seat.
There were no blankets in the car, and she was completely uncovered. Her fair legs had smooth lines, and her knees were pink from the heat inside the car. A high-slit cheongsam-style halter dress hugged her graceful body.
She is undoubtedly beautiful, but today she seems even more charming, like a tempting glass of red wine waiting to be savored.
Her lips were slightly pursed, and her delicate nose and curled eyelashes made one want to touch them.
Strangely, in the past, when he held her hand, it was as if he were holding a marriage simulation robot, and he had no romantic feelings for her.
Yun Chiyi has a beautiful appearance, but she is too glamorous. She exudes tenderness and affection, but her sycophancy is also very obvious. When you talk to her, all she talks about is money, which always spoils the fun.
Yun Chiyi is doing the same things now, so what has changed?
Gong Mufeng felt his mouth was dry and unbuttoned two buttons on his collar.
"Take her to me..."
"Navigation has been activated for you. Your destination is Hongshanyuan. Please drive safely and follow the rules."
That is, the address of the villa where Yun Chiyi lives.
Lin Jishen wanted to light a cigarette, but his eyes darkened and he put the cigarette down again: "Sorry, I didn't hear you clearly. Where are you taking her?"
Gong Mufeng felt disappointed and chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Take her home."
"Okay." Lin Jishen picked up the suit jacket beside him and casually tossed it behind him.
The heavy object landed on her, and Yun Chiyi trembled slightly, waking up with a start. She blinked her eyes groggily, sat up, and then fell back asleep when she found herself still in the same spot.
She covered her legs with Lin Jishen's coat and vaguely smelled a faint tobacco scent.
It smells terrible, we need to get him to quit.
It was already past midnight when they returned to Hongshan Garden. She was so sleepy that she could barely keep her eyes open, so Gong Mufeng carried her inside.
Lin Jishen leaned against the car door, his bangs obscuring his eyes as he watched Yun Chiyi sleepily nestled in the crook of Gong Mufeng's neck. She was drowsy, hiding all her sharpness, her eyes half-closed, looking delicate and charming.
The suit jacket she had covered was still hanging in his arm; he had chosen her dress and the high heels she wore.
Lin Jishen gave a cold laugh and answered the vibrating phone.
Upon hearing the words on the other end, his knuckles gripping the phone immediately turned white, and his eyes darkened: "Disappeared?"
He lowered his voice as he watched Gong Mufeng walk back: "She won't leave the city. Keep looking."
A memory suddenly flooded his mind, and his brow relaxed: "Chishui Street."
He hung up the phone first, then opened the car door for Gong Mufeng: "It's late, go back to sleep first, I'll take you to work tomorrow."
Gong Mufeng stopped in his tracks: "It's time to go to work again."
Lin Jishen put on his coat, which still smelled of Yun Chiyi's perfume, and straightened his sleeves with an expressionless face.
He will go to the company with Gong Mufeng tomorrow. The two of them will sit leisurely at the company for a day, listen to the meeting reports, and then have three days off.
Gong Hanlu is decisive and efficient, managing his employees well. The only person he can't control is his son.
The eldest son of the Gong family is like a wild horse; no one can restrain his unruly nature.
——
Yun Chiyi was woken up by the scorching sunlight. She tucked her feet in, then, remembering that she still had things to do today, she got out of bed, threw off the covers, and changed into a comfortable set of loungewear.
At exactly ten o'clock, Wen Yanyan called.
Looking out the floor-to-ceiling window, she could see a beautiful, white figure.
Wen Yanyan tilted her chin up to admire the place. Familiar memories flashed through her mind for a moment. She stared blankly at the carved gate. The camellia trees in the courtyard were lush and green, and the flower buds were hidden and nowhere to be seen.
Yun Chiyi came to greet her, opened the magnificent gate, and smiled as she opened her arms to her: "Welcome."
Her smug smile, like the manor villa itself, dealt a heavy blow to Wen Yan Yan's heart, leaving her with an indescribable sense of displeasure.
Wen Yanyan handed her the paper bag and a bag of fruit, saying, "Sorry to bother you."
"It's me who's bothering you."
Yun Chiyi took Wen Yanyan's arm and led her in, settling her down in the dining room and serving her fruit.
Have you had breakfast?
Wen Yanyan was stunned for a moment; it was already past ten o'clock.
"Then please have some fruit." Yun Chiyi stirred the white porridge and added two spoonfuls of sugar.
She took a bite, her mouth filled with sweetness, and she narrowed her eyes in satisfaction: "Yan Yan, don't you have a stable job?"
Wen Yan Yan was a beat slow to react. While her peers were all in college, she had been working odd jobs to save money for art classes all these years.
Her adoptive parents scrimped and saved to support her art studies. Life was a bit tough, but they made her feel very happy.
Wen Yan Yan lowered her eyes: "A stable job will come in the future."
Yun Chiyi nodded: "Actually, it's like this. I'm going to work at the company in a few days, but I don't know how to do anything."
Wen Yanyan stared intently at her, worried that she might make some inexplicable request.
As expected, Yun Chiyi revealed a perfectly standard eight-tooth smile: "I need someone to teach me, so, Yan Yan, would you like to come work at the Yun family company? With your talent, getting in will definitely not be a problem."
Wen Yan Yan lowered her head, gripping her white dress tightly at her knees, her voice so low it was almost inaudible: "I never went to university."
Most reputable companies require a bachelor's degree for employment, and she had asked about this when she was looking for a job.
Wen Yanyan added, "There are other capable colleagues in the company. Wouldn't it be better to have them teach you?"
Yun Chiyi shook her head: "No, I don't get along with them. Besides, I don't just need one mentor. If my boss asks me to do a design, I will submit your work."
What she needed was an easy-to-manage gunman.
Wen Yan Yan's eyebrows furrowed, and her delicate and pure face lost some color. She ate two slices of apple in small bites.
After Yun Chiyi finished speaking, she continued eating her porridge, and then ate half a piece of millet cake.
She thought it was delicious, so she handed one to Wen Yanyan.
To everyone's surprise, Wen Yanyan pressed her hand on the table with a serious expression: "Can there be a time limit?"
Yun Chiyi was stunned: "Huh?"
Wen Yan Yan spoke slowly, giving herself time to regret: "Two years should be enough, right? Miss Yun isn't stupid; by then you'll have learned how to design."
Yun Chiyi smiled broadly and gave her a high five: "Deal."
Less than two minutes after the deal was struck, Yun Jingui, who had been taking a walk in the park, returned. She looked down and saw a pair of delicate canvas shoes on the shoe rack, initially thinking they belonged to Zhao Mei.
Then she heard two girls talking and laughing.
Another unfamiliar voice, like the sound of wind chimes, entered her memory. She gripped her cane and slowly strolled into the dining room.
The figure in white had her back to Yun Jingui, and the glimpse of her profile was serene and beautiful.
For a moment, her vision blurred, and she thought she saw Yun Xiaoxiao return.
Yun Chiyi was the first to spot Yun Jingui. Her fox-like, cunning eyes were half-closed. She warmly got up and came over to help her grandmother.
Yun Jingui's attention was completely drawn to the girl who was visiting for the first time. She stretched out her withered hand and asked, "And who is this?"
The girl turned around in response, her clean eyes gazing at the dazed old woman.
Yun Chiyi's smile remained unchanged as she introduced Yan Yan in a gentle voice: "Grandma, this is Yan Yan."
"Yan Yan, don't be so polite, just call me Grandma."
Wen Yan Yan nodded slightly, stood up and gave a half bow: "Grandma."
Yun Jingui was startled, and her hand holding Yun Chiyi trembled violently: "Xiaoyi, you shouldn't have brought your friends home without telling us beforehand."
Yun Chiyi helped her sit down next to her and then went to eat breakfast: "Grandma, I plan to go to work at the company."
A few months ago, Yun Jingui tried to persuade her to work as an assistant, but she said that work was a man's job. Why has she changed her mind now?
"My dad insists that I go to the company to gain experience, but I feel so bored when I'm working."
Yun Jingui snorted coldly, "He's actually quite thoughtful this time."
Yun Chiyi's eyes were clear as a stream: "But why didn't he ask his younger brother to go? I think his younger brother is idle all day long, and school starts a long time ago."
"Who does he think he is..."
Considering the presence of guests, Yun Jingui swallowed back the words that were about to come out: "He's not qualified to touch these things."
Yun Chiyi picked up another boiled egg and slowly peeled it: "Has the Yun family always been managed by women?"
Yun Jingui recalled those years of entanglement with enemies and friends in the business world: "This has always been the rule."
However, the person who now holds the reins of the Yun family's fate is Gu Zhao.
Yun Chiyi nodded as if she understood, peeled the egg with her slender white fingers, and then put it into Wen Yanyan's bowl.
"Eggs are good for your health."
It was almost lunchtime, so they invited Wen Yanyan to stay for lunch.
Yun Jingui went to the kitchen to ask the aunt to cook a couple more dishes, while Yun Chiyi led Wen Yanyan to the garden for some fresh air.
"Will you pay me a salary?" Wen Yan Yan suddenly asked.
Yun Chiyi said, "I haven't received my salary yet, but the finance department should transfer the money to you."
When she turned around, her eyes lit up, and she looked at the wary girl with a smile: "You want to save money to go to college?"
Wen Yan Yan frowned, her hands hanging at her sides clenching quietly: "I helped you, I just want to get the reward I deserve."
Yun Chiyi expressed her disappointment: "Oh."
Just then, her phone rang.
She picked it up and saw that it was indeed that name. Then she chuckled and greeted Wen Yan Yan, "Excuse me, I need to take this call."
He walked to the side, swiped to answer the call, and as soon as he put the phone to his ear, he heard Lin Jishen's deep voice filled with anger.
"Yun Chiyi, what are you doing!"
She touched the tip of her nose and replied rather shyly, "I just woke up a little while ago and am having breakfast, but I'll be having lunch soon."
Lin Jishen: "I didn't ask you that."
Yun Chiyi lowered the corners of her mouth, her voice delicate: "Then what do you want to say?"
Who are you with?
She could almost smell the aura of karmic fire emanating from him.
"A girl, a friend I just met. You're spying on me again, you've even installed surveillance cameras in my house."
Lin Jishen: "Do you know who she is?"
Yun Chiyi stomped her toes: "Her name is Wen Yanyan, a waitress at Changyun Hotel. You have so many questions."
Lin Jishen looked at the mountain of Gong family documents in front of him and chuckled twice: "She is the real heiress of the Yun family."
Yun Chiyi immediately exclaimed and covered her mouth: "No way..."
Lin Jishen's voice was low and hoarse: "Yun Chiyi, you're finished."
She immediately pleaded, "You're lying to me, aren't you? No, I need to see you!"
