Chapter 38: Misunderstanding Spreads

  Ling Hao Yu began to calm down, completely naturally pretending to know nothing, having already guessed that there would be such a result. Right! That money was what he sent to the Gu family. To deal with Gu Xi, that stubborn girl, he needed to put in a lot of effort, such as being calm and tolerant.

  "I'll find a way to pay you back, I hope it doesn't happen again next time!" Gu Xi's attitude was still very resolute, perhaps because exposing the unsightly side of her family in front of others made her feel unbalanced.

  "What are you even talking about?" Ling Hao Yu hadn't finished speaking when he heard the call drop. He really couldn't understand what this girl was thinking, and sometimes her so-called stubbornness made him both love and hate her.

  "What's wrong? Is there something bothering you, boss?" Xiao Xiaodong asked with concern as he sat on the bed with his documents and looked at him staring blankly at his phone screen.

  "Nothing much, let's just end it here for today. I'm preparing to be discharged from the hospital and will continue discussing with the company the day after tomorrow." Ling Haoyu said calmly. ?? CEO's First Love: Ah Yu, don't be too naughty 38

  "Is that bad girl annoying you again? Alright, I'm going back to the company, boss!" Xiao Xiaodong was a straightforward person who was timid in front of his leader. Before he could finish speaking, he saw Ling Haoyu give him a stern look and a white eye. He quickly added another sentence to make up for it before leaving the ward with his documents.

  Ling Hao Yu watched Xiao Xiao Dong walk away with a stack of documents, having followed him for many years now. He was still very grateful to these employees, his body had been having problems lately and sometimes he felt like he couldn't hold on anymore.

  He lay down quietly, flipping through the original phone given to Gu Xi. Inside were some unexplained call records, making him even more vigilant. If this little girl fell into someone else's arms, what would he do?

  "Ling Haoyu, can't you think of something better?" He muttered to himself, patting his own head with his hand. Unexpectedly, the pain from being pushed down by Gu Xi during the day and bumping into the bed board still lingered. This girl was both spicy and cold, he really didn't know why she was so attractive to him.

  "Are you okay?" Suddenly, a figure emerged wearing a black dress, with a string of white pearls around her neck, her long legs made even longer by eight-centimeter high heels, carrying a bouquet of fragrant lilies and walking gently towards him. She sat down beside his bed and said tenderly.

  "Boss Guan? How did you have time to come over?" Ling Haoyu shifted uncomfortably and sat on his phone, laughing as he spoke.

  "In private, stop calling me boss all the time. We're not discussing business now, just call me Ying'er normally." The second time they met, Guan Ying seemed more natural, perhaps the charm of the man in front of her made her want to take a closer look.

  Turning the guest into the host, after Guan Ying finished speaking, she poured water for him and inserted flowers.

  "Isn't today in Singapore?" Ling Haoyu felt a bit uncomfortable with her sudden revelation. Ying'er? He had to repeat this intimate term hundreds of times before he could call it out so naturally.

  If it were the old him, he might have pretended to agree, but now he really can't fake it.

  "A few days ago, I didn't return to Singapore because of some things. This morning, I called your company and Xiao's assistant said you were ill. So I came over to visit, partners should care about each other, right? " Guan Ying spoke very naturally, her big eyes blinking charmingly, but unfortunately, her eyes only had Gus's back-and-forth wandering, never seeing anyone else's goodness."

  "You're really kind-hearted, how about I treat you to a meal sometime and let Ling someone foot the bill?" Ling Haoyu said with a smile.

  "That's necessary!" Guan Ying peeled an apple herself, strip by strip, her hands moving deftly. She realized that Ling Haoyu was watching her peel the apple and couldn't help but smile to herself.

  "Hey... hey, what's going on?" Gu Xi clearly remembered that she had already hung up the phone and put it back on her bedside table. The phone rang again, showing Ling Haoyu's number on the screen. She frowned and pressed the answer button, but heard a conversation coming from the other end of the line.

  That piercing sound made her hesitate until the end without hanging up the phone. She wanted to see Ling Haoyu's hypocritical side, clearly hearing the woman's voice with great penetration power, the piercing sound of high heels sliding across the floor, and a very feminine woman appeared in her mind.

  If Ling Hao Yu had someone else, wouldn't she have left with a satisfied heart? But in her own heart, she was flustered. Walking out of the living room, she saw only You Fan Jie alone washing and scrubbing dishes, wearing a crude cartoon apron wrapped around her waist, occasionally lifting her arm to wipe her forehead, her body covered in greasy stains. After finishing washing, she took a mop and mopped the hall again and again.

  "Did Fang Jie hear me talking?" Gu Xi carefully walked to her side and repeatedly called out.

  Lowering her head, she saw the floor continuously dripping with hot water droplets, which should be tears. Fang Jie didn't turn around, but only nodded heavily and continued to repeat the mechanical movements.

  "Are you okay?" Gu Xi walked up beside her and patted her shoulder. ?? CEO's First Love: Ah Nuo, don't be too naughty 38

  "It's nothing, want to have a beer?" No matter how dim the light was, her tears sparkled as she pushed away Gu Xi's hand and walked into the kitchen to take off her apron. With several cans of beer tucked in her arms, she walked over to the sofa, sat down and called out.

  Alcohol seems to be favored by people who are disappointed, and no matter how many housekeepers there are in life, they will have a moment when they rely on the anesthesia of alcohol. Gu Xi, who thinks of drooling at the sight of wine, sits down beside her without hesitation, opens the bottle and gulps it down with a gurgling sound.

  When they drank, they didn't say a word. Very tacitly, both sides just slightly nodded and smiled, making an effort to down the liquor, but Fan Jie was not a drinker at all, the beer was almost undrinkable, closing her eyes with difficulty, like drinking bitter medicine, tears streaming down her face as she drank.

  She passed out after a can of beer, she didn't get drunk and crazy, but quietly fell on the sofa, as gentle and calm as usual, occasionally wiping her mouth with her hand. When Shang Guan Yi came out of the room, she shouted loudly, "Sister, you're poisoned by alcohol, don't you know?"

  "She hadn't drunk much, it's fine to drink beer, if not, quickly help her into the room." Gu Xi still didn't stop what she was doing, looking at the empty cans on the floor, her stomach full of water, got up and helped Fan Jie up and supported her into the room.

  "It's better if nothing happens! Why did you drink so much, trying to act cool? You're so arrogant, no one wants to surpass you." Shangguan Yiyi said with disdain while supporting Fan Jie's left hand and staring at the strong smell of alcohol on Gu Xi.

  I thought I was a bad girl, but it seems my standards were too low. Today I finally saw what a real bad girl looks like, and I don't know what kind of influence she's been under to make her drink so recklessly. "Beer is just a drink, can you tone down your words?"

  They put Fan Jie on the bed, and when they came out, they stared at each other with wide eyes. Gu Xi walked over to him, smelling the mixture of medicine and alcohol on his body, thinking that he was going to vomit. But he didn't want others to think he was drunk, so he pretended to be strong, took a nightgown from the room, and went to the bathroom to wash up.

  "I really don't know what's so great about getting drunk all day, it's not even as fun as playing in the peach garden!" Shangguan Yiyi sat back on the sofa, staring at the few bottles of wine, her mind still struggling. She had bad memories of drinking and didn't want to evoke her miserable childhood by drinking.

  Before long, Gu Ximei came out of the bathroom, wearing a white suspender nightgown with a pattern of a girl smoking on the front. My god, is it necessary to be so domineering even in what you wear?

  However, her two points in front are bulging up, vaguely visible from the front to the beautiful buttocks behind, truly a golden ratio body, unfortunately just a bit short, otherwise with a good appearance as a model, maybe very popular.

  "What's on your mind?" Gu Xi walked over and sat down beside Shangguan Yiyin, saying softly.

  "Nothing." Shangguan Yiyi had been with her for a long time, and even her tone of voice was infected by hers. A simple three words were enough to express her emotions.

  "Come on, Fang sister really likes that man so much but doesn't plan to get married?"

  "It's not that, I don't know why? She's great in every way, she looks okay, it's just that she's not popular with men. Tang Xuan is the one she's been secretly in love with, but unfortunately he was snatched away by Fei Po. Oh my god, Fei Po can even snatch a man from someone else, it's really humiliating. Shangguan Yiyi hugged the big teddy bear and kept muttering to herself, looking at her muttering appearance, it really reminded me of my good friend Yang Qingqing in college."

  "What's wrong?" Yuwen Yiyu asked somewhat uncomfortably.

  "I'm watching what you think." As soon as her words fell, Shangguan Yiy's face turned red to the roots of her ears. How did it suddenly feel like she was on a date with a man?

  "I'm going back to my room." Gu Xi smiled and pinched her tender face, heading towards the house. There were several phone calls again, all from Ling Haoyu, including the villa's landline number.

  The incoming text messages were incomprehensible, all empty information. She lit a cigarette and deleted the messages while smoking, but she couldn't understand why so many texts were sent, just as she saw his call again!

  The phone was answered, and the voice was very seductive. Perhaps due to the lingering effects of alcohol, she actually got hooked and didn't have her usual intention of hanging up quickly. "Uh, today my investor Guan Ying came to see me and accidentally dialed your number. Actually, we don't have anything going on, so don't get any ideas."

  "You shouldn't be answering phone calls when you're about to go to bed?" Gu Xi's grievances, which had been accumulating for a long time, suddenly burst out.

  "What? Go to bed? You're thinking too much, I'll go find you right now and make things clear." Ling Hao Yu hastily put on his shoes, looked at Ling's mother who was sitting aside with her head buried in the soft chair, took away the bottle of medicine and ran out.??
