Chapter 51 You're Fired

Sun Meixiang was stunned.

"You are just a helper. Who cares about our family? And Aunt Sun, didn't I tell you that you can ask He Tao if you have any questions? Why don't you ask?"

Mother Sun didn't dare look him in the eye. In fact, she later mentioned whether she should go and ask He Tao, but Sun Meixiang insisted that they were liars. Besides, the factory was not close and required a car to get there, which was not necessary. She was also carsick, so after hesitating, she decided not to go.

Who would have thought that they were really Gu Sheng’s family? She shouldn’t have listened to her niece in the first place!

"Mr. Gu... Ah Xiang is just too defensive. She has no other intentions."

"I remember telling you to find another familiar helper. When did I tell you to call your niece over? Did you ignore my words?" His tone was very cold, not like his usual self at all.

Even though Mr. Gu was usually quiet and a bit cold, he was still quite friendly to her, which was nothing like he was now.

Sun's mother muttered, unable to speak. Of course, she had her own selfish motives. The work was light but the salary was high, and the owner was easy to talk to. Naturally, she wanted to help her niece. They had to find a helper anyway, and her niece happened to be unemployed. Maybe when Gu Sheng came back, he would hire her because she was so skillful.

For this reason, she often whispered to Ah Xiang that she would be more discerning when Gu Sheng came back and try to stay. Besides, if Ah Xiang really succeeded in becoming Mrs. Gu, it would be a benefit for her, as Ah Xiang was a bit pretty. Gu Sheng didn't have anyone around him, what if he couldn't hold back and got married?

Now it seems that not only Ah Xiang can't stay, but even she is in trouble.

Sure enough, Gu Xiyue’s next words made her heart sink to the bottom.

"If you don't take my words seriously, what's the point of me keeping you? Aunt Sun, you are fired."

Sun Meixiang raised her head in shock and begged anxiously, "Brother Gu, no, Mr. Gu, you can't fire my aunt. This is all my idea and has nothing to do with my aunt."

"Mr. Gu, I beg you. My aunt has an elderly person who needs medicine and a younger brother who is in school. The whole family depends on her salary to survive. You can't just fire her so heartlessly. You are not letting her family live."

Yes... This is moral kidnapping.

Zhou Nuan rolled her eyes silently. To be honest, Mother Sun did nothing wrong in not letting her in. After all, her identity was indeed unknown. However, she was wrong to call Sun Meixiang without Gu Xiyue's consent.

There was no way she was unaware of her niece's little thoughts. After all, Sun Meixiang's desire to sleep with Gu Xiyue and become a rich wife was written all over her face.

"I don't understand what you are saying. Who is preventing your aunt's family from living? It is obviously you who are preventing your aunt's family from living. You know the consequences, but you still ignore them for your own selfish interests. You deserve all this."

Sun Meixiang was filled with hatred and stared at Zhou Nuan intently.

Sun's mother went to pull her away, "Ah Xiang, stop talking, stop talking. It's all our fault. Let's go."

Sun Meixiang broke free, "My aunt has worked hard to serve Gu Sheng for so long. Even if she has no credit, she has worked hard. He can't just fire her. He can leave, but he has to compensate us! At least..."

She thought for a moment, held up three fingers, and said loudly, "At least compensate us for three months' wages!"

Zhou Nuan almost laughed at her shamelessness. It must be said that Sun Meixiang's idea was quite advanced, and she even knew to ask for financial compensation. Unfortunately, she made a wrong calculation.

"If you want to ask us for compensation, fine, but we have to settle the matter clearly before that."

"What is that?"

Zhou Nuan looked at the clothes she was wearing. "The clothes you are wearing are not cheap. You, who don't even have a job, can't afford them. I want to know where you got the money to buy them."

Sun Meixiang's heartbeat quickened. "What does it have to do with you? Isn't it okay that this is what my aunt bought for me?"

"If I heard you correctly, you just said that your aunt has elderly people who need medicine and children who go to school at home. The whole family depends on her salary to survive. Where does she get the money to buy you such expensive clothes?"

Zhou Nuan used her words to stop her and successfully saw Sun Meixiang lower her head guiltily, her eyes wandering and not daring to look her in the eye, which made her guess in her heart more certain.

"What does this have to do with you? Can't my aunt love me?" She insisted.

"Okay, in that case, we have to report to the police. It's a good opportunity to check if there's anything missing from the house."

Sun Meixiang's eyebrows twitched violently and her eyes finally began to become uneasy. She gritted her teeth tightly to not show her fear.

She did take something she shouldn't have taken, but she thought she would return it after she got her salary, but she didn't expect someone to take it. If, if she was really discovered, her life would be over.

Thinking of this, Sun Meixiang became extremely flustered and looked at her aunt pleadingly.

When Sun's mother heard her cry for help, her heart skipped a beat. She knew her niece had always had a dirty hand and foot problem since she was a child, but she never made the same mistake again when she grew up. She didn't expect her to make a mistake at this time.

She was immediately embarrassed and annoyed, but Sun Meixiang was her biological niece after all, and she couldn't just watch her being taken to the police station.

He then said directly to Gu Xiyue, "Mr. Gu, Ah Xiang is talking nonsense. You are a magnanimous person and don't bother with her. I don't want any compensation. I made the decision on my own and called Ah Xiang here. It is what I deserve if you want to fire me. It is because of me, so I am willing to compensate you for your losses."

She was trying to find a way to repay her niece for the money she had stolen. It must be said that this aunt was more understanding than her niece. She not only saved Sun Meixiang but also her own reputation, and she also prevented the news from getting out and making it impossible to find a buyer.

After hearing Zhou Nuan's words, Gu Xiyue already understood what she meant. He didn't care at all about Sun Meixiang. Instead, he was quite satisfied with what Sun Ma did. At this moment, she was looking at him with a pleading look on her face.

He frowned, "Let's put it this way. Sun Ma, you won't lose a cent of the salary you deserve, but if someone really took something they shouldn't have, then she should be punished accordingly. Report it to the police."

His tone was cold but he didn't give any reason to explain. Sun Meixiang's body softened and she collapsed to the ground.

Zhou Nuan looked at the dumbfounded aunt and nephew, without a single wave of emotion in her heart. She just thought that Gu Xiyue would take into account the old feelings of Sun Ma. After all, Sun Ma's work was also very pleasing to him. Otherwise, there would not have been a role for her until Ji Huayan appeared later. But now it seems that she thought too much.

Gu Xiyue is indeed a man who puts reason above all else and will not waver in his principles for the sake of love.
