Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities

Chapter 826: Gossips

This poor secretary, who did not know better, had taken Secretary Xiao Chen’s constant warnings as nothing. This was a classic: if one did not listen to the elder, one would then suffer. Now, her job was gone.

When the secretary heard this, she cried again. It was difficult for her to graduate from a top-tier school, and with one step at a time, she was lucky enough to hold this position. Her family members were proud of her, and so was she. If she was fired, she would never find such a great job again.

“Vice CEO, I beg you.” She extended his hand and pulled Du Jingtang’s clothes. “Please beg CEO and ask him not to chase me away. I know my mistake. I will definitely focus on my work and not talk nonsense again.”

Du Jingtang pulled his clothes away and felt goosebumps all over his body. It was better for a woman to be dignified. Also, there was no use pulling him because he was not straight.

Once the secretary saw Du Jingtang pull himself away, she covered her face and cried.

Du Jingtang felt that he had wasted his breath from all the things he said. He was simply speaking an alien language to her, and he had squatted for too long until his legs started to numb.

“I said, you should go soon.” He said it as an advice. If not, with her howling and crying, once that man got irritated...

Besides, that man was never gentle with women.

The secretary raised her face covered in tears, and there was half a fake lash on her eyelid. Du Jingtang could not help but laugh a little. Hurriedly, he stood up and called the security guard.

What was going on today? Why did he fire five employees? If this went on, everyone in the company would be fearing for their own death.

Carefully, he opened the door and pasted his face on it as if he was a thief. In the end—when he saw that Chu Lui was alone in front of the office table, he walked in; and even his footsteps started to relax. Slowly, he walked to Chu Lui.

“Is she asleep?” he asked softly.

“Mm.” Chu Lui answered, and his fingers flipped through the documents on the table speedily. He wanted to finish these earlier so he could go home.

“Brother, did you ask about Little Cutie?”

Du Jingtang found it weird. He knew that Xia Ruoxin came back, but when she did, he did not see Rainy. Was this not strange?

“She didn’t say.” Chu Lui threw the pen in his hand aside. He had asked countless times, but other than not answering, she just smiled. That type of smile gave him a weird feeling, but even so, he did not dare force it out of her.

However, she should not want to say it. If Rainy was really in trouble, it was impossible that she could still eat and drink. She would have gone crazy so Rainy was probably in someone’s care. Perhaps, it was also because she did not dare bring Rainy back in fear that his mother would snatch Rainy away.

When Du Jingtang knew about it, he was disappointed. However, after some thought, it was understandable.

Just that, his instincts told him that there was something wrong.

“I just feel that there’s something strange about Sister Ruoxin returning...” He touched his chin. Women’s intuition was accurate, but so were men’s.

Chu Lui took the pen and did not know where he wanted to place it. Even Du Jingtang could tell that. Then, how could he not know? However, Xia Ruoxin’s lips were very tight; and no matter how much he asked, she refused to say.

So... he could only wait and wait.

Du Jingtang opened his mouth. He wanted to say something more but swallowed all of his words. It was a good thing that she was back, but why did he have that uneasy feeling that made his hair stand? He really did not understand.

At this time, a door closed gently; and Xia Ruoxin let go of her hands before lying down on the small bed in the lounge again. She pinched the side of the blanket.

“Very soon... we will meet...”

Suddenly, she smiled; and that smile was kind of cold.

...

“What did you say?” Song Wan suddenly stood up. “How is this possible? You said that Ah Lui fell in love with a beer girl? A million dollars for a time?”

“Yes, Auntie.” When Xia Yixuan talked about this, she had the urge to pull her hair off. Actually, she had no idea how much hair she had lost. She also heard it from someone else that Chu Lui went to Jiang Nan very often, and sometimes, he would bring a girl out. Besides, this girl’s fee was not cheap, and it was scarily high: one million for one night.

Now, that woman was at the Chu Enterprise, and they were officially a couple.

“How was this possible?”

Song Wan completely did not believe that her son would do such an outrageous thing. He actually found a beer girl, and besides bringing her out, he actually brought her to the office.

How could he commit such a gossip?

“Auntie, what do you think we should do?” Xia Yixuan really wanted to barge to Chu Lui’s company and ask what was going on. However, Song Wan was here so she did not see the need to do it herself. In the first place, Chu Lui did not have a good impression of her. If this continued—without him making a move, she would be eliminated immediately. That was why she came over early in the morning to tell Song Wan about this.

“What to do?” Song Wan did not know what to do. How could she not understand her son’s temperament? She could interfere with his children, but she could not meddle with the type of woman he was with even if it was just a beer girl because Chu Lui was willing. Besides, she had never interfered successfully with whoever he wanted to marry.

“Auntie, we must stop this.” When Xia Yixuan saw Song Wan hesitating, she knew that she did not want to care. However, how could she not? This time—even if she had to force her, she must drag her up.

In the end, Song Wan had no choice but to go there personally. This type of woman of dubious background could not enter their Chu family. She also wanted to know what was going on and what kind of drugs her son was on.

At this time—actually, she did not know that this incident had spread far and wide. The CEO of the Chu Enterprise was in love with a beer girl and did not even care about his wealth. Also, some people said that Chu Lui was mesmerized by the woman. Very possibly, she could enter the family officially.

At first, Song Wan was not too worried; but once she heard the news, she started becoming anxious. If she allowed this type of woman to enter the Chu family, she would be embarrassed to death.

She did not want to lose her face, could not, and would not afford to.
