Chapter 1437: Chapter 1441 Particularly Tragic
Ye Xingbei: “…”
Of course, she knew what Gu Junzhu’s favorite food was.
But judging from that alluring, suggestive look on Gu Junzhu’s face and his voice that could make anyone’s knees go weak, his answer definitely wasn’t about food.
His favorite thing to eat?
Her, obviously!
Ha.
No way she was falling for that!
She pressed against his chest and pushed him away, “Speak properly! Don’t be such a flirt! I haven’t finished talking yet!”
Gu Junzhu’s hands road up and down, “Go ahead, speak then.”
Ye Xingbei fought against his wandering hands, “How am I supposed to talk when you’re doing this?”
“With your mouth, of course,” Fifth Lord of Gu said as if it was the most obvious thing, “I haven’t even kissed you yet.”
Ye Xingbei: “…”
That… actually made an odd kind of sense!
Judging by Fifth Lord of Gu’s usual behavior, he wouldn’t dare take things all the way in the car. The most he’d do would be so kissing and cuddling. Ye Xingbei’s resistance wasn’t as fierce anymore. She wrapped her arms around his neck, “Hey, let ask you sothing. Out of your three deputy managers, Han Zuo’s been to prison, Yu Mo’s been to prison, don’t tell Le Yuzhou has also been to prison?”
“You’re overthinking it,” Gu Junzhu chuckled, “My hiring criteria isn’t ‘must have served ti’.”
Ye Xingbei retorted, “Even if Le Yuzhou hasn’t been to prison, two out of three of them being ex-convicts is already pretty scary, don’t you think? People might be gossiping behind your back about it!”
Although Han Zuo was frad and Yu Mo had been caught in a mont of carelessness that led to injury, both of their prison sentences were unjust. But outsiders wouldn’t know that.
If Le Yuzhou had also been to prison, things would definitely get ssy, and who knows what people would say.
“Le Yuzhou hasn’t been to prison,” Gu Junzhu replied. “Le Yuzhou is smarter than Han Zuo and Yu Mo and the most socially savvy of the three.”
Ye Xingbei asked, “If he’s so socially savvy, why did he end up working for you?”
“Xiao Bei, what are you implying?” Gu Junzhu raised an eyebrow at her. “Are you saying only those who aren’t socially savvy would work for ?”
Ye Xingbei laughed and shook her head, “No, no, that’s not what I ant! What I an is, if he’s so socially savvy, how did you manage to trap him into signing a fifty-year contract with you?”
“You!” Gu Junzhu pinched her nose with a magnanimous expression, “He offended soone he shouldn’t have.”
Ye Xingbei clung to his neck, her interest piqued, “Who did he offend? Tell ! I love hearing you tell stories!”
Gu Junzhu shook his head with a chuckle, “To you, it’s just a story. To them, it’s a painful past.”
“Are you accusing of being heartless now?” Ye Xingbei imitated Gu Junzhu’s earlier eyebrow raise, “Are you saying I’m a cold-blooded, ruthless person?”
“…” Gu Junzhu pinched her nose again, “Xiao Bei, you’re so vengeful!”
Ye Xingbei dodged his hand, giggling, “I’m not heartless. It’s just that all three of them are doing so well now, there’s really nothing to pity. I trust they wouldn’t want anyone’s pity either. The hardships they faced in the past were just stepping stones to transform them from ordinary grains of sand into dazzling pearls.”
“True,” Gu Junzhu agreed, “Now that the three of them have joined forces, they’re the ones tricking others. No one can trick them anymore. There’s nothing to pity. If anything, pity should be reserved for those who tried to trick them.”
“Exactly, exactly,” Ye Xingbei nodded in agreent. “Look how miserable Qin Wanyue is now. I heard from Jingxue that she’s working at a service club where employees kneel to serve custors, spending her days kneeling at people’s feet. It’s downright pathetic.”
