Chen Jiaming saw Gu Nuan with a stern face, not speaking, and quickly made a decision on her behalf, saying to the others: "Let’s leave it at this for now. We’ve discussed the general direction. Gu, the chairman, is busy before the end of the year and needs to rest her body. We’ll research the other details back at the company. As it’s almost the New Year, the company will be on holiday for seven or eight days, so let’s put in a bit of work this ti. During your holidays, take so ti to plan, and if there are any suggestions or problems, submit them directly to ."
The others nodded in agreent upon hearing Chen Jiaming, eager to stand up and leave. To them, suddenly witnessing the boss’s family scandal was equally troubleso. Because if this gets out, the boss would surely suspect them of spreading it and question their character and credibility.
Out of sight, out of mind.
The group hurriedly left the door, as if they hadn’t seen anything.
Xiao Shuju stood on the stairs, leaning sideways against the handrail, watching as people walked past without daring to glance sideways. She raised her chin proudly and asked the Xiao butler, "How about it, everyone’s gone, can I go up now?"
The Xiao butler sighed helplessly.
This Xiao Shuju was so thick-skinned, not afraid to lose face in front of others.
Chen Jiaming helped Gu Nuan organize the docunts and stationery on the table.
Hearing the clatter of high heels approaching, the Xiao butler walked ahead and announced: "Third Miss is here, little madam."
Gu Nuan sat in the armchair, as if she hadn’t heard, not saying a word.
Chen Jiaming couldn’t help but look at her curiously.
Thinking she’s not the type to lose her mind in anger. In fact, Gu Nuan has always been soone who can maintain her composure and reason under any conditions.
It’s always Gu Nuan who angers others, no one can anger Gu Nuan.
It’s probably because Gu Nuan acts too much like a normal person that he montarily forgot Gu Nuan is deaf, leading to such doubt.
Gu Nuan hadn’t actually heard the Xiao butler’s voice. You know, even normal people might sotis not hear soone calling if they’re lost in thought, let alone her, who is deaf.
Until Chen Jiaming’s gaze made her realize what was happening. The rapid decline in her hearing in one ear surprised Gu Nuan.
Xiao Shuju arrogantly pushed aside the Xiao butler blocking the door, seeing Chen Jiaming, as if the host here, said: "When did Chairman Chen beco a servant?"
It’s said that this Xiao Family’s third is always thoughtless. Could she joke like this? It’s completely inappropriate.
Chen Jiaming might not know what Xiao Shuju ant by this, but he could directly handle it with ease. Teasing like Xiao Shuju’s is rely a low-level challenge, not sothing he struggles with.
"These docunts are the company’s core files; really, a regular servant wouldn’t even be allowed to look at them, let alone touch them." Chen Jiaming said calmly, without a ripple on his face.
Upon hearing him, Xiao Shuju seed to feel she instantly beca a clown, her face turned red, wondering how she could utter such words. She quickly forced a laugh, approached to greet Gu Nuan, but when she t Gu Nuan’s cold, elegant eyes, her expression grew more embarrassed, red with sha.
"Sister-in-law, you won’t bla , will you?" The third one asked brazenly in a delicate tone.
Gu Nuan remained silent.
Xiao Shuju quickly clarified: "I was anxious to see you and Yebai, which is why I rushed in. He said you were in a eting and couldn’t greet , I can understand that. So I didn’t plan to disturb your work. I was just wandering in this house, which used to be my ho; what’s wrong with walking around here, don’t you think? Yet he insisted on blocking !"
