1623 Important Things To Announce
“Since you like Aunt Lin so much, then let her work in the He family.” Qiao Xi asked with a smile, “Aunt Fang, can you let Aunt Lin work in the He family?”
Aunt Fang replied respectfully, “Young Madam, you’re the madam of the Gu family. You can make decisions both inside and outside the Gu family. Not to mention firing a servant, even if you want to cut off all contact with the Gu family, no one will object. Old Master definitely won’t blame you for an old servant.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Lin’s and He Wenxian’s expressions turned ugly.
Qiao Xi said with a smile, “Aunt Lin, go look for the butler to get your final salary. When Miss He leaves, follow Miss He back to the He family. If Miss He is unwilling to accept you, then I’ll suspect that Miss He was just trying to drive a wedge between us just now.”
He Wenxian hurriedly retorted, “Xi Xi, you can’t say that. How can you make things difficult for an old servant? You…”
“Xi Xi is my wife. Does she not have the right to fire a servant?” At this moment, a cold and gloomy voice came from outside the door. The man exuded a strong sense of oppression, scaring Aunt Lin so much that she hurriedly lowered her head.
He Wenxian’s face was ashen. She pretended to be gentle and said, “Ah Zheng, you’ve misunderstood. If Xi Xi really doesn’t like Aunt Lin, then I’ll let her return to the He family with me.”
Qiao Xi sneered in her heart. These words made it seem like she was very petty and He Wenxian was very magnanimous. However, the next second, Gu Zheng said impatiently, “Then quickly leave.”
He Wenxian’s gentle expression paused. “I’m here to accompany Old Madam Gu…”
“Aunt Fang, pay Aunt Lin’s final salary and get her to leave with Miss He,” Gu Zheng instructed coldly.
He Wenxian gritted her teeth and was silent for a few seconds. She smiled helplessly. “Ah Zheng, my father is your master, after all. We’re also friends. Why are you targeting me?
“I did have some grudges against Xi Xi, but I’ve already apologized. This small matter shouldn’t affect our relationship.”
Qiao Xi was speechless. He Wenxian meant that she and Gu Zheng had deep affection, but their relationship was affected by her. She meant that Qiao Xi was too jealous and did not allow her husband to interact with his friends.
Gu Zheng frowned unhappily. “Since you know that my wife hates you, why did you still come to the Gu family? Miss He, please leave!”
With that, the man took off his jacket and thoughtfully draped it over Qiao Xi. His voice was extremely gentle. “It’s so cold outside. Why are you only wearing this much?”
When He Wenxian saw this scene, she felt that it was extremely dazzling. Girls all liked to look beautiful, so she and Qiao Xi were both wearing thin long dresses. When the autumn wind swept past, it was indeed a little cold, but Gu Zheng could not be bothered to pay attention to her at all. He only cared about Qiao Xi and even helped her put on a jacket.
She had known Gu Zheng for more than ten years. When he was at his lowest point, the He family had lent a helping hand. They were childhood sweethearts who studied and played together, but Gu Zheng had never cared about her so much. Moreover, in Gu Zheng’s eyes, had her childhood playmate long become a stranger?
He Wenxian suppressed the surging emotions in her heart and smiled. “Ah Zheng, Grandpa Gu has already asked me to stay in the Gu family.”
Qiao Xi glanced coldly at He Wenxian and instantly saw through her thoughts.
It was fine if she wanted to stay in the Gu family!
He Wenxian clenched her fists tightly. This b*tch only knew how to drive a wedge between her and Ah Zheng!
As soon as she finished speaking, the old master’s butler walked in. “Old Madam, Young Master! Old Master wants everyone to eat in the front hall tonight.”
Old Madam Gu’s face immediately darkened. She did not object to He Wenxian staying because Xi Xi had spoken, but it did not mean that she was willing to eat with He Wenxian.
“We’re not going.”
The butler looked troubled. “Old Madam, Old Master said that he has something important to announce.”
“Where’s Chairman He?” Old Madam He asked.
“He went back a long time ago.”
Old Madam Gu had a mocking expression. He Weinian had left, leaving He Wenxian behind. The old master even said that he had something important to announce. She instantly understood Old Master Gu’s intentions.
“Alright, I’ll go, but it’s hard to say if we’ll be able to eat this meal today.”
The butler took a deep breath and said while trembling, “Old Master said that Aunt Lin is just a servant, so you don’t have to get angry over her and ruin your health. If you’re unhappy, just chase her away.”
Old Madam Gu did not even look at him. If she wanted to deal with a servant, did she need to ask that damned old man?
The butler broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly left.
