Unintentionally assisted
Sheng Yao smiled slyly, "No need, we are civilized people, as long as he apologizes."
Then, she remembered the look on Ning Zhengqing's face when they were arguing with each other, and she suddenly became depressed, thinking that he was not the kind of person who would apologize.
At the same time, she imagined herself rushing into his house with a group of bodyguards, pinning him to the ground, and stepping on his noble head with purple leather boots.
“Hehehe…”
Sheng Yao smiled unconsciously.
"Yaoyao...Yaoyao..."
Zhang Xu shouted several times before Sheng Yao came back to her senses.
"What happened to Secretary Zhang?"
Sheng Yao patted her face. She had been a little imaginative lately.
Zhang Xu coughed lightly, "Should I discuss this matter with Mr. Sheng?"
Hearing this, Sheng Yao pouted. If her brother knew about this, there would be no room for negotiation.
It's because his heart was occupied by that vixen.
"My brother is busy with all sorts of things, so he doesn't have time to take care of such a small matter."
"Oh right..."
Sheng Yao's eyes narrowed. "What has my brother been doing recently? I've been sulking at home for so many days, and he hasn't even shown any concern for me."
Zhang Xu thought about it and answered truthfully: "Mr. Sheng went to Qiantang."
"He went to Qiantang?!" Sheng Yao screamed.
Zhang Xu covered his ears and said, "Yes."
"When did he go?"
"It happened a few days ago."
"Then why didn't you go over there?" Sheng Yao questioned.
Zhang Xu shrugged helplessly, because Mr. Sheng was very dissatisfied with the way he handled Miss Ning's affairs several times before, so he did not take him with him to Qiantang this time.
"I have other work to do."
"Why did he suddenly go to Qiantang? Did he go there alone?"
"No." Zhang Xu knew what she was going to ask next, so he explained directly, "I brought Miss Ning and her cousin."
"What? Not only did he bring that woman, he also brought her cousin."
Sheng Yao's face flushed with anger. "He brought strangers instead of me, his own sister. This is too much!"
Seeing her so angry, Zhang Xu couldn't help but comfort her: "Maybe Mr. Sheng feels that the journey is too long and is worried that it will be too hard for you to go with him."
Sheng Yao crossed her elbows and curled her lips in disdain, "Who needs him to take me? I can go wherever I want."
"Yes, Miss, don't be angry anymore."
"I'm not angry, I just can't stand my brother's behavior."
Sheng Yao opened the chat interface with Wen Lan, thinking about how to hint to Sister Wen.
"Alright, Princess Yao isn't cute anymore when she's angry."
Zhang Xu looked at the time and saw that half an hour had passed.
He came here this time because of his wife's instructions. Now that he has found out the reason why Sheng Yao is angry, he should report to his wife.
"Yaoyao, it's time for me to go back. Before I go back, I'll go say hello to my wife. Call me if you have anything."
Zhang Xu stood up.
"Ah? Leaving so soon? You've only been here for a short while." Sheng Yao still wanted Zhang Xu to stay with her for a while longer.
"Why don't you stop being my brother's secretary and be mine instead?"
Zhang Xu chuckled. He knew in his heart which one had more prospects: following the mature and steady Mr. Sheng or following a young brat.
"If Yaoyao misses me, I'll come here more often."
"Okay." Sheng Yao waved her hand. "If my brother comes back to Jingbei, remember to let me know."
"Got it, miss."
After leaving her bedroom, Zhang Xu walked straight towards the most magnificent palace in the middle of the manor.
It is not an exaggeration to call it a palace. This building adopts the European castle style, which is magnificent and gorgeous.
When he arrived downstairs, he was stopped by two bodyguards wearing white gloves.
He raised his hands as usual and let the bodyguard search him.
At this time, a noble lady with half-tied hair and wearing a tight blue and white cheongsam stood up from the sofa and walked over with a smile.
"Go down, this is our Xiao Zhang, there's no need to do this."
Upon closer inspection, this woman's face is 50% similar to Sheng Yao.
It’s just that she tends to be more gentle and generous, while Sheng Yao is bright and ostentatious.
"Hello, Madam Sheng." Zhang Xu greeted respectfully.
Gu Zhu smiled sweetly, "I've told you so many times, just call me Aunt Zhu."
Zhang Xu blushed, "Don't forget the rules."
"Well, it must be Old Zhang who asked you to do this. He always likes to do things the old way. In this respect, you two are quite similar."
As soon as Gu Zhu sat down on the sofa, a servant came over to help her put on a tasseled shawl.
The tea in front of the two of them was also steaming.
"Xiao Zhang, Yaoyao is a stubborn child. I'm really sorry for the trouble you've taken."
Gu Zhu has also been worried about Sheng Yao recently. This child has been depressed since she came back last time, and even she, as a mother, can't guess what she is thinking.
She is in adolescence, could she be sulking because of a boy?
No matter what she asked, he always replied, "It's okay." She almost got angry with this little ancestor.
"That's not true. Yaoyao has always been innocent and cute, rarely causing any trouble." Zhang Xu said against his will.
"This child." Gu Zhu shook her head, "It would be great if it could make people worry less."
"Don't worry, Madam. Yaoyao's situation isn't serious. She's just unhappy about something."
Gu Zhu raised her eyebrows, "Yaoyao is willing to talk now."
"Madam, you misunderstood. Yaoyao is not unwilling to tell you, but she is afraid of making you worry, so she has kept it from you."
Gu Zhu nodded. "It's rare that she still understands me. So what exactly is bothering her?"
"It's like this. There's a girl who's been getting very close to Mr. Sheng lately, and Yaoyao doesn't seem very happy with her. When I went to the girl's house, I had a little trouble with her brother."
This passage contained a lot of information, and Gu Zhu didn't know where to start.
After a moment, she sorted out her thoughts and spoke coldly: "What's the unpleasantness? Did he hit someone?"
"No, that's not the case. Yaoyao fell down after climbing over the wall, and he happened to catch her."
"Oh? Then where did this unpleasantness come from?" Hearing that Yaoyao was not bullied, Gu Zhu's expression eased a little.
Zhang Xu thought for a moment and said, "It's mainly because Yaoyao felt that he caught her and indirectly took advantage of her, so she felt unhappy."
“…”
Gu Zhu took a sip of tea. Yaoyao's unreasonable behavior hadn't been going on for just one or two days.
"Then tell me more about Yuan Han and what kind of girl could be so close to him."
Zhang Xu didn't have a very good impression of Ning Qian, but then he thought of how much Mr. Sheng valued her.
He had a conflicted look on his face, torn between wanting to say something bad about Ning Qian and being afraid of Mr. Sheng.
Gu Zhu noticed his hesitation and said comfortingly, "Just tell the truth. Are you afraid that I will be angry because of this?"
At this point, her eyes narrowed, "I'm curious about what kind of girl can win Yuan Han's favor."
Zhang Xu softened his words and said, "She's a kind-hearted girl. When Mr. Sheng was setting up the charity, she even contributed."
He smoothed his shirt, thinking that what he said was not flattery, after all, it was the truth.
"Oh? She's quite kind. What about Yuan Han's attitude towards her? Does he simply admire her, or?"
"They..." Zhang Xu hesitated for a moment, then told the truth, "They are now boyfriend and girlfriend."
Gu Zhu was stunned, and was quite skeptical of what he said. "Xiao Zhang, are you sure this news is true?"
She suspected that Zhang Xu was trying to cooperate with Yuan Han and reject the marriage arranged by his family.
Although she is not an old-fashioned person, her son has never found a girlfriend and she is secretly worried about him as he is getting older.
"It's true. My husband even took her to the Chamber of Commerce, and now she has been living with him."
Zhang Xu's forehead was covered with sweat. He was telling the truth, so he shouldn't be punished by Mr. Sheng later.
Gu Zhu had heard that Yuan Han brought a female companion with him when he attended a business banquet, but she had never taken it seriously, thinking that she was paid for it. She didn't expect that she was actually his girlfriend.
"Are there any photos?" She immediately became interested. It was rare for her son to have a girl he liked, so she always wanted to see what she looked like.
Zhang Xu usually didn't dare to take secret photos, so he just shook his head and said, "No."
Gu Zhu instantly looked like an eggplant hit by frost, with her head drooping and her face withered.
This feeling of wanting to gossip but not being able to do so made her feel itchy.
Zhang Xu now felt a little regretful for mentioning Ning Qian. If his wife really wanted to break up the couple, he would be the first person Mr. Sheng would not forgive.
"Madam, maybe this girl is just something Mr. Sheng took a liking to on a whim. After some time, he might stay away from her."
With what he said, Madam should understand that they would break up without her having to do anything herself, right?
Gu Zhu felt unhappy when she heard this. Doesn't this mean that her son abandoned her after having an affair with her?
"Xiao Zhang, Yuan Han is not that kind of person."
“…” Zhang Xu opened his mouth slightly.
"How long have they been talking?"
"Not long, probably just over a month."
This is what Zhang Xu calculated based on the time Ning Qian stayed at his husband's house.
Gu Zhu couldn't help but utter a "tsk". She was thinking about going to Yuan Han's place tomorrow, but she didn't expect that they had just started talking.
Zhang Xu's heart suddenly "twitched" unexpectedly, and he guessed in his heart that his wife was not satisfied with Ning Qian's performance.
"Young people's passion comes and goes quickly, so don't worry about it, ma'am."
Gu Zhu always felt that what he said was not right, so she asked, "Xiao Zhang, how old are you this year?"
"I'm 27 this year, two years older than my husband."
"So when you're in a relationship, do you break up after just one or two months?"
Zhang Xu hadn't expected his wife to ask such a question. He was speechless for a moment and stammered, "Probably not."
Gu Zhu smiled now, her eyes filled with determination, "Yuan Han won't do that either. This kid is very stubborn and won't change his mind easily. Just hope for the best for him."
“…”
Zhang Xu was confused. How could this be considered as him cursing the gentleman?
Does Madam's words mean that she agrees with Mr.'s love affair?
He realized it later and his heart was shocked. By accident, he successfully assisted the gentleman.
Suddenly he was overwhelmed with mixed feelings, not knowing whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. Yaoyao, that girl, didn't like Ning Qian.
"Yaoyao is not very satisfied with this girl."
Zhang Xu's words made Gu Zhu look stunned, "What's the reason?"
"I don't know about that, but Yaoyao has always liked Miss Lan from the Wen family and wants to bring them together."
Gu Zhu suddenly realized that Yaoyao was indeed very close to the daughter of the Wen family, and Wen Lan was also a well-known child for being gentle and generous.
Although the Wen family's background is not as good as the Sheng family, it is also a well-known family in northern Beijing, and can be considered a match in name.
But her son didn't like it, and there was nothing she could do.
"Don't worry about Yaoyao's thoughts for now. It's not right for a child of her age to always stick to her brother. Xiao Zhang, please keep an eye on Yuanhan for me and report to me if there is any movement." Gu Zhu instructed.
Zhang Xu was in a dilemma now. This was a tough job.
"Oh, you are already grown up, it's time for you to worry about getting married. I will have someone transfer 500,000 yuan to you later, as a sponsorship for your love life." Gu Zhu didn't let him work for nothing.
"this……"
Zhang Xu wondered whether he should agree first and then inform his teacher when he came back.
"Don't feel pressured, Xiao Zhang. Just think of it as pocket money from your aunt. Yuan Han usually refuses to tell me anything, so as his eldest brother, I'd like to trouble you to take care of him."
"Oh, thank you, ma'am."
Zhang Xu felt that he was in a difficult situation and had no choice but to agree.
