Chapter 41 I Will Stand Up for You
Shen Na was taken aback by Su Niannian's sudden reaction.
Startled, she took two steps back.
She was afraid that her new dress would get stained with Su Niannian's vomit.
She crossed her arms and looked at Su Niannian, who was rubbing her chest, with disdain.
"You're not pregnant, are you? You look like you're having morning sickness. When my cousin-in-law was pregnant with my nephew, she was nauseous all the time, no matter the time or place. Last time my mom brought her a bucket of chicken soup, she couldn't stand it before she even opened the lid."
"You've been on leave these past few days, you wouldn't be resting during your pregnancy, would you? Tell me quietly, which old man in our company is it with? Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else."
In short, it won't be President Gu's.
Su Niannian's brain went blank.
My mind went blank for a moment, as if I had lost the ability to think.
She stood stiffly, a panic she had never felt before welling up inside her.
Shen Na's words seemed to unintentionally touch upon a point that Su Niannian had never noticed before.
Gu Yuheng said that he had no heir.
He suffered an accident in Africa, which injured him and damaged his function, making it impossible for him to have children in this lifetime.
He spoke with absolute certainty, his expression utterly confident.
So Su Niannian easily believed him.
Despite believing him, Su Niannian remained cautious and didn't completely trust his words.
After all, there's a saying that a man's words are deceitful.
Who knows if Gu Yuheng was just trying to have his own fun and didn't want to bring a small umbrella, and was lying to her?
After that day, Su Niannian left the hotel and went straight to the pharmacy to buy and take emergency contraceptive pills.
She had taken all necessary precautions and thought she had covered all the ground. She hadn't thought about it at all these days, and even though her period was almost a month late, she had become very sleepy and had no energy to do anything.
Having no prior experience with pregnancy, she assumed it was due to the stress and stress she had been going through lately.
But Shen Na's words unintentionally reminded her.
This forced Su Niannian to think of the worst-case scenario.
She clenched her fingers tightly to hide her inner turmoil, and spoke in a feigned calm voice.
"Just because your cousin's wife is pregnant doesn't mean everyone looks pregnant. Go to the gastroenterology department of a hospital and see how nauseous and vomiting people are. If you're so capable, go say that to their faces and see if they sue you for defamation, or maybe they'll beat you up."
Shen Na frowned.
"Su Niannian, what are you saying? What I said is the truth. Otherwise, why would you suddenly feel like throwing up when you see me?"
Disgust surfaced in Su Niannian's eyes: "It's your smell that's too pungent. I don't know where you bought that cheap perfume. As soon as you get close to me, the smell is like stinky tofu that's been sitting out for three days. It makes me want to vomit."
When Shen Na heard Su Niannian say that her perfume smelled like stinky tofu, she was shocked.
My mentality immediately collapsed.
She shouted in a shrill voice, "Su Niannian, you country bumpkin, don't you know what you're talking about? This is Chanel perfume. How could a professional perfumer possibly create a perfume that smells like stinky tofu? I think you're just ignorant and jealous of the designer brands I can afford."
After Su Niannian said that, Shen Na was led astray from the topic.
His mind was filled with contempt for Su Niannian.
She came from a well-off family and had an unconscious sense of superiority since childhood. She looked down on Su Niannian, a country bumpkin who knew nothing.
How could he withstand Su Niannian's questioning?
Su Niannian said coldly, "Can't you smell the stench on yourself? You smell terrible."
Then, other people came in.
Upon hearing Su Niannian's words, everyone's gaze turned to Shen Na's flushed face.
There seemed to be a strange smell coming from the tea room, almost imperceptible.
"No wonder I always felt there was a smell in the office, it was from Shen Na."
Several female colleagues fanned themselves, wishing they could hide three miles away.
"She must have bought fake goods to show off her wealth. What Chanel product smells like stinky tofu? She's so vain."
"Yeah, he's always showing off in front of me, with designer bags and limited-edition shoes, but it turns out they're all fake."
Shen Na initially disliked Su Niannian.
He deliberately came to pick a fight and humiliate her.
But I never expected Su Niannian to be so sharp-tongued.
Instead, she became the laughingstock of all her classmates.
"Su Niannian, I'm not done with you today."
Shen Na's face contorted, and she lunged at Su Niannian with bared teeth and claws.
Su Niannian picked up the water glass on the table and splashed it mercilessly on her face.
She remembered Gu Yuheng telling her that.
When someone bullies you, don't always back down or tolerate it, as this will only embolden the bad guys.
You must know how to fight back and let them know that you are not someone they can bully.
There was a moment of silence in the room.
A moment later, laughter and whispers arose.
"Wow, I didn't realize Su Niannian was so tough. She splashed Shen Na all over and made her a drowned rat."
"How can Shen Na bear such a humiliation? She'll probably go crazy on the spot."
Shen Na was soaked to the bone, water streaming down her face and down her collar, looking extremely disheveled.
The mocking voices were everywhere.
I have never been so humiliated in my life.
So she blamed all the mistakes on Su Niannian.
"Su Niannian, I was just saying a few words to you. If you don't like it, just leave. Why are you holding onto this against me?"
As she spoke, Shen Na, enraged, reached out and forcefully pushed Su Niannian.
"stop."
A cold, deep voice rang out from the doorway.
Suddenly, everyone's back stiffened.
They all turned to look at the source of the sound.
A man in a suit stood at the door with a gloomy expression. A deep frown etched between his brows, and his gaze fell on Shen Na without any warmth.
"This is a company, not a place for you to throw a tantrum. How dare you hit a colleague? Pack your things and go to the finance department to collect your compensation. Don't come in tomorrow."
The words were spoken.
Everyone was slightly taken aback.
Although President Gu is usually taciturn and not harsh on his employees, he is by no means as gentle and easy to talk to as he appears.
Everyone looked at President Gu's tense expression.
I knew Shen Na was in big trouble now.
Shen Na stared wide-eyed in disbelief, pointing at Su Niannian and saying, "President Gu, she splashed me first."
Gu Yuheng calmly turned to Su Niannian and asked in a low voice, "Why did you splash her?"
Su Niannian felt his intense gaze fixed on her, and for some reason, she remembered that she might be carrying his child, causing her face to flush red.
She was so embarrassed that she wanted to crawl into a hole and disappear.
When Gu Yuheng saw the little girl blush, he couldn't help but frown. Even he, who was usually meticulous and insightful, couldn't fathom Su Niannian's inner thoughts.
Was it because he was angry?
He raised his voice slightly and asked again, "Su Niannian, tell me the truth, and I will stand up for you."
However, Gu Yuheng's attitude was revealed in just one sentence.
To others, it was clear that President Gu cared about his employees and stood up for them.
