Chapter 166 Breaking the Dilemma
She snorted, a short, disdainful sound coming from her nose, and then all the smiles on her face disappeared, her expression cold: "Third Master, if I really want to be with you, what kind of identity are you going to give me?"
"Secret lover? Or... girlfriend?"
Gao Zeyu frowned when he heard that, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes, "Of course we're lovers. Do you want to be my girlfriend?"
A girlfriend is someone who is openly displayed in public and can be taken out to meet people and recognized by others.
Thinking of this, his frown deepened, "If you really want to be my girlfriend, then you are not worthy."
If what he said hadn't been so infuriating, how could she be so angry and amused at the same time?
Shen Yan lowered her head and thought for a moment before looking up at him again. Her gaze was firm and her tone was steady and serious. "Third Master, since you know in your heart that I am indeed not worthy of being your girlfriend, then why bother to provoke me?"
"I don't want to be anyone's lover," she said more firmly. "What I want is an open and honest relationship. I want to be with someone I can marry."
Gao Zeyu originally thought that since she leaned quietly in his arms just now and had no resistance when he kissed her lips, she must have tacitly agreed to the continued development of their relationship.
So, her sudden proposal of marriage caught him off guard.
His face suddenly turned cold, and anger surged in his heart, "Get out!"
She actually still wanted to marry him?
He doesn't even look at her current situation and status to see if she is worthy of marrying him.
Chen Yan supported Gao Zeyu's arms with both hands, stood up on one leg, and slowly got down from him.
Since he knew that there was no possibility between them, why bother to get entangled?
Gao Zeyu's voice was low and cold as he ordered again, "Get out."
Shen Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief, but her face remained expressionless. She nodded and simply said, "Okay."
Then she turned around and sat back in her wheelchair, pushing the wheels and leaving the emotionally turbulent audio-visual room.
At least this time, I avoided some trouble.
But she still hoped that Gao Zeyu could face the reality as soon as possible and no longer regard her as someone worth investing his time in.
When she returned to the door, Song Weiwei was already waiting there. When she saw her come out, she immediately grabbed the wheelchair armrest and asked with a bit of worry on her face, "He didn't do anything to you, did he?"
Shen Yan shook her head lightly, her tone light, "It's okay."
The two of them pushed the wheelchair together and slowly returned to the cleaning warehouse, as if nothing had happened.
For the first time, Shen Yan felt a deep worry about her future in the manor.
This feeling came suddenly, like stepping into a foggy forest. She couldn't see the front or tell the direction.
She had often imagined her possible future in the manor, such as gradually improving her status, finding her own place, and living a stable life...
But she never expected that one day she would be in trouble because of Gao Zeyu's affairs.
What he didn't expect was that he and Gao Moli would stand on opposite sides of each other.
That is not an ordinary disagreement, but a confrontation of fundamental positions.
Now, she is also carrying an order for magic props from Lin Youfa.
The purchased items have been delivered, but the payment has not been received yet, so the delivery cannot be completed.
The problem lies with Wei Jie from the purchasing department.
She knew clearly that he was deliberately delaying and refusing to sign the loan, just waiting for someone to give in.
Fortunately, Gao Xiaolin has been locked up, and she has temporarily been relieved of a potential huge hidden danger.
If it weren't for this, with so much pressure coming at her at the same time, she almost doubted whether she could hold on.
Since we have reached a dead end, the only choice may be to turn back.
The turning back here, of course, refers to leaving the manor and getting away from this vortex of disputes.
But Gao Moli chose to use her outside business as a threat, which completely blocked her last retreat.
So what should she do now?
Where is the way out?
She was really a little confused.
Song Weiwei seemed to have noticed Shen Yan's worry.
She also clearly understood Shen Yan's current predicament and pressure.
Song Weiwei scratched her hair, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "How about...we ask my father for help? Let him ask the Second Master to intercede for us?"
In her opinion, even though the Third Master's words carried a lot of weight in the manor, the manor was so big that there would always be someone who could control things better than the Third Master.
If the Second Master showed up, at least the variable Gao Zeyu could be controlled. In this way, there wouldn't be much room for intersection and conflict between Chen Yan and the Third Master.
Then there was naturally no conflict of position between her and Gao Zeyu's assistant.
Just like before, they can rely on the relationship with the Third Master and gain a firm foothold in this manor.
Of course, there was also a possibility - Assistant Gao might think that she was no longer useful and fire her directly. That would be fine too, as she could leave here with a clear conscience.
As for the payment for the magic props that has not yet arrived, it has actually been easily resolved.
As long as the Second Master said a word, Wei Jie from the purchasing department would not dare to do anything bad no matter how many things he had in mind.
However, if Song Weiwei's father really had to speak up for her, an ordinary cleaner or nanny, the cost would be too high.
In this case, Song Weiwei's father might owe the Second Master a big favor, and this debt may not be easy to repay.
She believed there were other solutions. There was no need to trouble Song Weiwei's father to go to the Second Master to plead for mercy for such a seemingly trivial matter - that would be like using a butcher knife to slaughter a chicken, which would be too much trouble.
Thinking of this, Shen Yan shook her head, her tone calm but firm, "Let me think about it again."
There is actually another possibility -
If she is willing to lose face, do it regardless of the consequences, no longer care about reputation, human relationships and decency, and try her best to do extreme things that she would never do under normal circumstances, then she may be able to break out of her current predicament.
At that time, Gao Moli would no longer be able to use orders and capital chains to restrain her.
Wei Jie blocked her order?
She could find someone, such as gangsters or thugs who could scare people, to teach Wei Jie a lesson and make him return the order and money.
He was even forced to sign a long-term cooperation contract so that he wouldn't have to control him anymore.
As long as she is ruthless enough, this kind of thing is not impossible.
But the reality is, she can't really just ignore everything.
Her reason, her concerns, and the fear deep in her heart did not allow her to act impulsively.
Although she had experienced poverty in her previous life, it was precisely because of this that she understood more clearly what price and risk meant.
She suffered a lot in her previous life because she was poor.
