"Does she come to work in a luxury car every day because she's afraid people won't know she's being kept?"
"Say less, after all, he is a senior executive in the company appointed by the government."
"Wasn't that because he used the young CEO's connections to climb the ladder...?"
Mo Ling had just finished using the restroom and hadn't come out yet when she suddenly heard several female employees talking while washing their hands. Hearing her employees, who praised her every day, talking about her like this behind her back was heartbreaking. After all, she was a young girl who had never experienced anything like this before, and her eyes immediately welled up with tears. She tried her best to hold back her tears.
To avoid worrying Gu Xiaotian, she acted as usual every day, but she was still somewhat restless, and her abnormality was easy to notice.
Gu Xiaotian also noticed that Mo Ling had been acting strangely these past few days, so he asked, "What's wrong with you these days?"
"I'm fine, Xiaotian. I'm leaving. You can eat by yourself." Mo Ling gave a forced smile.
"Xiao Ling, let me see you off." Gu Xiaotian was relieved to hear Mo Ling say that she was alright, but he still didn't know what was wrong with Mo Ling. He looked at the somewhat forced smile on Mo Ling's face, but he didn't react at all.
"No...no need." Mo Ling held back her tears, which were about to fall, and hurriedly ran out, almost bumping into the door as she went out.
Gu Xiaotian looked at Mo Ling, smiled, and shook his head, thinking to himself: Why is this girl in such a hurry? Nobody's chasing her. Standing by the window, after she was out of sight, he went to read the documents he hadn't finished looking at.
Mo Ling has been avoiding Gu Xiaotian's work hours these past few days, and she makes sure to go home at different times each night. Moreover, she locks herself in her room as soon as she gets home. Gu Xiaotian has noticed that Mo Ling has been acting a little differently these past few days, but Mo Ling herself says that nothing is wrong, so he doesn't think much of it.
These past few days, Mo Ling has been preoccupied with whether or not she should leave Gu Xiaotian's house, so she often gets distracted at work. Mo Ling's work performance is also getting worse and worse. She used to be very active in daily meetings, but now she is becoming more and more silent and absent-minded in meetings.
"Xiaoling, what's wrong with you these past few days? This project plan is a complete mess! There are even typos..." The boss threw down the plan and started scolding Mo Ling.
"I'm sorry, I... I'll redo it right away." Mo Ling tried to cover it up, but her expression was off, and her boss, who had been in the business world for a long time, immediately noticed something was wrong.
"Hello, is this HR? I need you to check what rumors are circulating about Mo Ling these past few days." The boss called HR immediately after Mo Ling left.
"OK."
As expected of Ye's HR department, the results came out in less than a day. The boss was furious when he saw the message on his phone and almost smashed it.
"Boss, I have something to tell you, please don't be angry." After calming down, the boss immediately called his boss, Gu Anran, who was on her honeymoon in another city.
"Speak quickly if you have something to say, Gu Xiaoqing is waiting for me to warm her milk." Gu Anran's tone revealed her impatience.
"Mo Ling has been rumored to be being kept by a sugar daddy these past few days, and her work performance hasn't been great." It seems this boss is used to being disliked by his boss, so he gets straight to the point, concise and clear.
Gu Anran's tone didn't change much after hearing this, and she asked casually, "Oh, where's my brat?"
The boss was in a dilemma. If he answered, it would mean that the president of Ye Corporation was a brat; if he didn't answer, it would mean offending the big boss. He was caught in a bind, but he still answered, "Young Master is still working at Ye Corporation."
"Oh, just call that kid and tell him. You don't need to tell me about this." Gu Anran hung up the phone after saying that.
The boss thought to himself: This is really tough for me!
"Mo Ling is in trouble? Do you need my help?" Under the influence of Gu Anran and Gu Xiaoqing, Ye Lichuan has become more and more humane.
"It's nothing, it's just that Xiaotian hurt Mo Lingzi's feelings." Gu Anran hugged Gu Xiaoqing and comforted her.
"Little Tian really doesn't understand Mo Lingzi, hahaha!" A young CEO working at Ye Corporation sneezed as his father mercilessly mocked him.
Gu Anran rolled her eyes at Ye Lichuan, who looked exactly like her son, as he mercilessly mocked her son.
"Hello, I'm a manager from YR Company." The boss spoke cautiously, after all, everyone knew that this CEO Ye was ruthless despite his young age.
"What do you want?" Upon hearing that it was her mother and Mo Ling's company, her wariness vanished.
"Mo Ling..." The boss was interrupted after saying only two words.
Upon hearing "Mo Ling," Gu Xiaotian stood up and quickly asked, "What happened to Mo Ling? What's wrong? Tell me quickly!"
My boss thought to himself, "If I want to speak, I need to be allowed to get a word in edgewise." He took a breath, calmed himself down, and said, "Mo Ling is fine."
Hearing this, Gu Xiaotian sat down again: "Can you stop talking so loudly? Who are you trying to scare?"
"Uh." The boss was speechless after hearing this. "Mo Ling has been in a bad mood these past few days. I think President Ye has noticed that too."
Gu Xiaotian thought about how Mo Ling hadn't let him see her off these past few days, and how she locked herself in her room as soon as she got back, which was indeed different from usual. So he asked, "What's wrong with her?"
"She's being misunderstood as being kept by a sugar daddy, and it's all over the company. I want Mr. Ye to come forward and clarify things." The boss finally breathed a sigh of relief on the other end of the phone, thinking that he had finally completed his task.
"I'll be right there." Gu Xiaotian was relieved to hear that Mo Ling wasn't seriously injured, and then hung up the phone.
Looking at the phone that had just been hung up, the boss couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder they're mother and son."
"Prepare the car, let's go to YR Company," Gu Xiaotian said to his secretary as soon as he hung up the phone.
"But President, you still have two meetings to attend," the secretary said, looking at the schedule with some difficulty.
"I've cancelled it, it'll be open tomorrow." Gu Xiaotian was about to say it would be open in the afternoon, but then he thought about how he had to spend the afternoon with his wife.
"Yes." The secretary had worked for Gu Xiaotian for quite some time and knew him well.
The people at YR were like paparazzi; the company group chat exploded.
"My goodness, that's the young boss of the Ye family, and I heard he's incredibly handsome."
"Of course, just look at the stunning good looks of President Gu and President Ye."
"I love it, I love it..."
Only Mo Ling didn't show any joy when she heard the news that Gu Xiaotian was coming, wondering if she couldn't keep it a secret any longer.
Suddenly a scream came from the doorway; without even looking, one knew it was Gu Xiaotian.
As soon as Gu Xiaotian entered, he saw Mo Ling sitting in her seat without looking at him, so he walked straight to her, took out a bouquet of roses, and said, "Baby, I came all this way to see you, but you're ignoring me." After saying that, he had his assistant bring out some invitations, "We hope everyone can come to our engagement party."
