Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Song Shiyu looked nervous as he asked carefully, “President, last night, you and Young Madam…”
Gu Zheng smiled. “Right, you were the one who gave her that nightwear.”
Seeing the man’s smile, Song Shiyu felt his hair stand on end. He said in fear, “President, I did it for your own good. On the account that I’m loyal to you, please forgive me this time…”
“You have good taste. I won’t deduct your salary anymore.” Gu Zheng raised an eyebrow with a smile in his eyes.
Song Shiyu: “…”
Not deduct his salary? It seemed like the president was very satisfied with his gifts.
Hearing this, Song Shiyu immediately heaved a sigh of relief. He immediately said excitedly, “President, it’s good that you like it, but it’s useless even if you do. Young Madam is very dissatisfied with your skills. What a pity about the nightwear I gifted!”
…
The atmosphere instantly became awkward.
Gu Zheng’s eyes were filled with danger.
He had pulled back from the cliff last night, but in Mrs. Gu’s eyes, he was incapable?
Gu Zheng sneered and glanced at Song Shiyu indifferently. He said casually, “I won’t give you your salary anymore. I’ll satisfy you.”
Song Shiyu: “?”
He was just repeating Young Madam’s words. It was not what he meant. Why was his salary being deducted again?!
…
In the next few days, as long as Qiao Xi saw Gu Zheng, she would think of the things that he could not do.
That day, she had already gone all out, but Gu Zheng still could not do it.
She was really embarrassed to see Gu Zheng, so she worked overtime in the university every day. After returning home, she would go straight upstairs to avoid meeting Gu Zheng.
Song Shiyu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He could not wait to bring Gu Zheng to get treated.
His head was about to explode, but he could not think of a solution.
Just then, the butler entered. “The clothes the president customized for Young Madam has arrived. Miss Yao is already outside.”
Song Shiyu slapped his thigh. Yes, there were these clothes! These were the president’s gift to Young Madam!
The clothes designed by Yao Mengqing were all luxury goods. Any one of them would cost over 100,000 yuan. This time, she had brought 16 of them!
Although Yao Mengqing could not compare to Gu Shan, she was still a famous designer. Unexpectedly, she even came personally to deliver the clothes.
Qiao Xi saw two cars parked outside. The butler went out to welcome the guests and seemed to be very respectful.
“Miss Yao, please come in!”
Yao Mengqing replied generously, “I didn’t give a call before coming over. Would Ah Zheng be unhappy?”
“Don’t say that. The president will definitely welcome you.” The butler quickly invited her into the house.
Yao Mengqing’s voice was sweet. “Butler, it’s been a long time. I’ve been too busy overseas and didn’t have time to come back to take a look.”
Suddenly, she thought of something. “I heard from Ah Zheng that he’s married now. I haven’t seen Mrs. Gu yet. Is she at home? I should greet her.”
The butler replied, “She’s upstairs.”
At this moment, Qiao Xi slowly came downstairs. When Yao Mengqing saw her, she reached out her hand warmly. “You’re Mrs. Gu? I’m Yao Mengqing, Ah Zheng’s childhood friend.”
Qiao Xi nodded and stretched out her hand politely.
Song Shiyu said in her ear, “Madam, Miss Yao and the president are good friends.”
Song Shijing introduced Yao Mengqing to her in a low voice, “Miss Yao is the third daughter of the Yao family. She’s now a designer in the studio that the president invested in. She’s very famous overseas.
“Although the president and Miss Yao are childhood playmates, they’re actually just ordinary friends.”
Qiao Xi nodded as she finally knew who this Miss Yao was.
Seeing that Yao Mengqing was very polite, Qiao Xi smiled as well. “Hello, Miss Yao.”
“Right, Qiao Xi, Ah Zheng customized some clothes for you. See if you like them?” Yao Mengqing held Qiao Xi’s hand and was full of smiles.
Qiao Xi’s gaze fell on their hands as she said indifferently, “Okay.”
Yao Mengqing instructed someone to bring the clothes in and hang them on the rack. They were very eye-catching under the light.
“When Ah Zheng asked me to design the clothes, he said that he wanted me to come up with 16 garments in a week. I didn’t understand why he was in such a rush. It turns out he wanted to give you a gift. Quick, take a look at these clothes. Do you like them?”
Qiao Xi’s face sank when she saw the clothes.
