Chapter 81 You have had ill intentions towards him for a long time, right?
Gu Miaomiao turned to look at Jiang Yanbai with an indifferent expression.
"I'm a good secretary, but I'm Mr. Jiang's person. If someone wants to touch me, wouldn't that be tantamount to challenging Mr. Jiang's bottom line?"
Wang Jingchi couldn't hold back his momentum, he sat back heavily in his chair and slammed his fist on the table.
"Great! Great! So they're teaming up to mess with me today!"
Veins throbbed on his forehead, and he clenched his hands into fists on his knees, using all his strength to avoid lunging over and slapping them.
Jiang Yanbai finally stopped smiling, folded the contract neatly again and pushed it to the center of the table.
"Our contract is officially terminated. Please remember to deposit the two million yuan in liquidated damages into the designated account on time. We will issue a statement stating the termination of our cooperation to avoid any misunderstanding that we are still in cahoots with you."
Wang Jingchi's face turned pale. He could no longer endure this humiliation. He swung his right arm and swept the folder to the floor.
"Get out! Get out now!"
Jiang Yanbai stood up slowly and smoothed out the non-existent wrinkles on his suit.
He glanced down at the messy ground and the man who was shaking with anger, without any warmth in his eyes.
Finally, his gaze fell on Gu Miaomiao.
"Let's go."
"We don't need to accompany you anymore."
Jiang Yanbai turned his head and looked at Gu Miaomiao with gloomy eyes.
"What did you mean by saying those things to Wang Jingchi?"
Gu Miaomiao's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and the corners of her lips maintained a proper curve.
"Nothing, Mr. Jiang."
"I'm just using your fame to scare him."
Jiang Yanbai stared at her for a long time, his eyes scrutinizing her.
"I've felt something was wrong with you for a long time."
“But I can’t tell where.”
"Until you said that today."
"It seems like you've had a strong interest in the story behind Angel Wings since a long time ago."
Gu Miaomiao's hands, placed on her knees, curled up almost imperceptibly at the fingertips.
He was indeed suspicious.
Her face remained calm, and she even raised her eyes to meet his gaze.
"What are you talking about, Mr. Jiang?"
"As your secretary, I'm also doing this for your company."
A very light sneer escaped from Jiang Yanbai's throat, filled with cold mockery.
"Before, for the sake of Gu's family's property, I believed it."
"After all, that's proof that you, Gu Miaomiao, once had everything."
"But now, it's mine."
He leaned forward a little, feeling the pressure like a shadow.
"From the moment you went to great lengths to stay by my side as my secretary, you've been brewing some plan, right?"
Gu Miaomiao's heart sank.
She lowered her eyes and spoke in a flat voice.
"Your suspicion is too great."
"I have finished my explanation. There is nothing more to add."
This unyielding look completely ignited the fire in Jiang Yan's white eyes.
A large hand with distinct joints suddenly rose up and precisely grasped her smooth jaw.
"The more you avoid it, the more you have something to hide."
Gu Miaomiao raised her hand and used all her strength to pry open his fingers that were restraining her one by one.
In the moment when Jiang Yanbai was stunned, she broke free.
She rubbed her red chin, and when she spoke again, her voice changed, becoming deliberately soft.
"I just want a place to stay."
"I don't want to be trapped in that home like I was before."
She looked at him, a thin layer of tears in her eyes, just right, making people feel pity.
"My job is to be a secretary, but I am also capable of doing other things well."
"Boss Jiang, I just want to prove my worth in front of you."
"Is this... wrong too?"
Jiang Yanbai's scrutinizing gaze roamed over her face.
Her words seemed to make some sense.
It is reasonable that the eldest daughter of the Gu family, who was pulled down from the altar by him, is unwilling to remain silent and wants to prove herself again.
The storm in his eyes slowly subsided, leaving only a few embers.
"So, that's it?"
She met his probing gaze without dodging.
There is clarity in his eyes.
Gu Miaomiao nodded.
There was a frank determination in those beautiful eyes.
"I wouldn't dare lie to you."
Jiang Yanbai stared at her with deep eyes, trying to find any trace of guilt on that flawless face.
As a result, nothing happened.
His Adam's apple rolled, he withdrew his gaze, and his tone was as cold as ice.
"You'd better not lie to me."
"Otherwise, I will make you live a life worse than death without waiting for Wang Jingchi to take action."
As soon as the threatening words fell, Gu Miaomiao's face immediately broke into a flattering smile.
"Don't worry, Mr. Jiang."
"I won't let you down."
That smile swept across Jiang Yanbai's heart unexpectedly.
I missed a beat.
He suddenly turned his head and looked at the neon lights outside the window that were rapidly receding.
"Don't look at me like that."
The smile on Gu Miaomiao's face faded, leaving only cold indifference.
She snorted in her heart.
"Okay, okay, whatever Mr. Jiang says is what we'll do."
The car started and stopped at Jiang's house.
She frowned slightly and looked at the man beside her who was resting with his eyes closed.
"Why did you go home?"
Jiang Yan didn't even raise his eyelids, and his voice was cold and indifferent as a matter of course.
"Are you going to the company if you don't go home?"
"Don't you see what time it is?"
Gu Miaomiao raised her wrist, and the hands on the dial clearly pointed to six o'clock.
Indeed, it's time to get off work.
The corners of her lips curled up slightly, with a hint of subtle sarcasm.
"I didn't expect Mr. Jiang to be such a good boss who cares about his employees."
This smile happened to catch the eye of another person who had just walked in.
The moment Gu Baozhu saw Gu Miaomiao, she rushed to the car door.
“Bang!”
A loud and crisp sound.
Gu Miaomiao was caught off guard and was slammed against the car door by the force. Her fair cheeks became red and swollen at a speed visible to the naked eye.
There was a buzzing in my ears.
Gu Baozhu's voice was harsh.
"Who gave you the courage to seduce your brother-in-law?"
Gu Miaomiao covered her burning face, slowly raised her head, her eyes as cold as ice.
"You've really perfected your ability to slander others with empty words."
Gu Baozhu's heart skipped a beat when she looked at her, but she immediately straightened her back and became even more arrogant.
"I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be false?"
She looked Gu Miaomiao up and down with disdain.
"You've had ill intentions towards him for a long time, haven't you?"
"I advise you to stop being so seductive!"
"There's no way Yanbai would fall in love with you. What's more, there's your uncle. He will never let an adopted daughter like you marry into the Jiang family!"
Gu Miaomiao slowly stood firm.
He raised his backhand.
“Bang!”
A louder and harder slap landed firmly on Gu Baozhu's delicately made-up face.
Gu Baozhu was completely stunned. She staggered back two steps and covered her face in disbelief.
This bitch, how dare she!
