Even if there are many things she can't tell Gu Zhiyuan, they've known each other for so long, when has she ever done anything she wasn't sure about?
After spending so much time together, does Gu Zhiyuan still distrust her abilities?
This left Xu Ningyan feeling extremely frustrated. Did the big shot have doubts about her abilities? How was she supposed to find a powerful patron now?
Trying to please the big boss by acting cute and silly?
Or should one rely on being a slave or a live-in maid to a big shot?
This doesn't align with her life plan, does it?
Although she keeps saying she wants to rely on powerful figures to win, this isn't how you win!
Her plan was to go to university in the future, either to start a small business or to work within the system, so that she could contribute to the powerful figure and receive corresponding protection because of her abilities.
It can be considered a complementary relationship, but it can still achieve sustainable development, right?
Otherwise, even if you have a good relationship with the big shots now, what about the future?
Human relationships diminish with use, and affections grow thinner with use.
Xu Ningyan is not one to fight unprepared battles; otherwise, he wouldn't have stockpiled so many things in his space after obtaining it.
In her relationship with the big boss, her role was to be his indispensable lackey and underling.
I thought that after almost a year, the two of them had developed a good understanding and were working well together.
Unexpectedly, she discovered that the big boss had turned into a picky client, nitpicking her efforts.
Xu Ningyan was devastated!
So all my hard work was just a fluke in the eyes of the big shot!
If Xu Ningyan hadn't still had some sense, she would have cursed at someone!
Looking up, Gu Zhiyuan was still staring at him with an expression that seemed to say, "Do you know you're wrong?" as if waiting for him to admit his mistake.
Xu Ningyan felt like she was having a heart attack!
After thinking for a moment, I opened my mouth to explain again.
Before she could speak, Gu Zhiyuan said, "Starting tomorrow, you're not allowed to go anywhere except to and from get off work! You can't go to the countryside during this period. You're not allowed to go anywhere except the department store and home, and you're not allowed to go anywhere else! You should tell Uncle Li tomorrow. If you're too embarrassed to say it, I'll call Uncle Li!"
It was an unquestionable, commanding tone.
After saying these words, Gu Zhiyuan's anger subsided slightly.
After the girl had an accident in the countryside last time, he planned to talk to her about safety issues, but he thought that she was alright and that he was the one who caused the trouble. And then a lot of things happened afterward, so he kept putting it off until now.
I never expected this girl to become so bold!
If I had known, he should have had a proper talk with them after the last incident.
But it's not too late now! Otherwise, if something really happens, he'll be heartbroken!
He unconsciously adopted the same attitude he would have shown towards his younger brother.
When I was rebellious, I was about the same age as this girl. I spoke to her nicely, but she ignored me.
Later, after being scolded and given a good beating, he immediately became obedient and stopped rebelling.
Now that the girl is about the same age as my younger brother, I can't bear to give her a good beating, nor can I bear to scold her. I can only be serious to feel that I have the authority to make the little girl listen attentively.
Xu Ningyan had never heard Gu Zhiyuan speak to her in such a tone before, issuing orders directly without even a hint of discussion.
My rebellious streak kicked in immediately.
He immediately retorted, "I don't want to! It's unnecessary, I—"
When she met Gu Zhiyuan's suppressed anger and the oppressive atmosphere around him, she suddenly seemed to chicken out and couldn't say anything more.
Barely maintaining his last bit of bravado, he snorted, went inside, and slammed the door shut with a bang—not too hard, not too soft—expressing both his anger and disagreement, as well as his forced agreement.
The delicate balance required to strike a chord almost made Xu Ningyan's arms knot.
Hearing Xu Ningyan's snort, and then hearing the loud bang of the door slamming shut, which was heavier than usual, Gu Zhiyuan rubbed his temples. "Well, this little girl not only doesn't reflect on her actions, she's angry! She even dared to slam the door!"
You've really grown up!
He gave a wry smile. Was it because he was nine years older than the girl that there was a generation gap between them?
Why can't the little girl listen to what I say and my worries?
Didn't the little girl trust me wholeheartedly and listen to me before?
Why are you not listening now?
Gu Zhiyuan didn't quite understand!
There's no time for him to figure it out now.
The news the little girl brought back today is too important. He has to arrange for people to carry it out immediately, and he also needs to think of a way to protect the little girl. It really can't be delayed.
After thinking for a moment, he suppressed his worry about Xu Ningyan slamming the door and ignoring him in anger. He turned around, walked to Xu Ningyan's door, and gently knocked on it.
As he expected, Xu Ningyan ignored him.
He couldn't dawdle any longer, so even though Xu Ningyan didn't speak from inside, he didn't delay in giving her instructions: "Ning, I have to go out for a bit. You stay home and don't come out! Think carefully about what I'm saying! Also, your attitude just now was wrong. No matter how angry you are, you can't slam the door! Calm down, and we'll talk about this again after you've calmed down!"
After saying that, she waited a moment but didn't receive a reply from Xu Ningyan. Instead, she heard a muffled pounding sound on the bed.
Gu Zhiyuan glanced at his watch; there was no time to lose, so he had no choice but to ride his bike out the door.
When Xu Ningyan heard Gu Zhiyuan telling her to calm down, she really wanted to talk back. If she didn't calm down, she wouldn't be pounding the bed right now, she would be pounding his head!
As expected, all clients are annoying! Even the big shots are annoying!
Hearing Gu Zhiyuan leave the courtyard and lock the door from the outside, Xu Ningyan became even angrier.
What, are you afraid she'll run away? You even locked the front door from the inside?
Putting aside her own abilities, even if she really wanted to get out, locking the door wouldn't help.
If the Lu family really wants to deal with her, they could lock her up at home, and then she wouldn't have anywhere to run away, right?
That's absolutely insane!
Xu Ningyan made a couple of complaints, which made her feel a little better.
I was too lazy to cook, so I dug out some braised pork rice and milk tea that I had stocked up on in my storage space and decided to have a good meal to calm my temper.
There's nothing in this world that can't be solved with a good meal; if one isn't enough, have two!
He gave the dog in the yard the same braised pork rice, and the man and the dog sat in the yard to eat.
While eating, Xu Ningyan complained to her lackey about Gu Zhiyuan: "So what if he's a big shot! He's so hard to please!"
"Look how well you enjoy being my lackey! You get good food every day! I'm a lackey for the big boss, I go hungry nine times out of three days, and I still get yelled at! I'm worse off than a dog!"
"If it weren't for the fact that I could lie down and enjoy the rest of my life, I would have turned against them long ago!"
...
After a while, he imitated Gu Zhiyuan and scolded the lackey: "Lackey, listen up! You're not allowed to go out and hang out with your cronies for the next few days, understand?"
"This is an order, not a discussion! Do you hear me?"
"I'm going back to my room first. Calm down and reflect on your actions! We'll talk again after you've reflected on them!"
Lackey: I may not be human, but you really are a dog!
