Gu Shaocheng just ignored it and waved his hand.
Two immobile personal guards swiftly ushered the person away.
Chenxing pursed her lips. Why would the maid prefer to be beaten rather than being fired?
But before she got a chance to think about it, her attention was drawn away by the following incident.
Gu Shaocheng cleared his throat and looked at those guests who had bullied Chenxing. Nobody knew what he was thinking at that mont.
He paused for a while, accepted the tea handed over by the butler, sipped it leisurely to moisten his throat. The butler stepped back two steps with the tea, standing behind him.
It was then that Gu Shaocheng continued, "My woman is kind-hearted, she can’t bear to see bloodshed, so let’s conclude this matter by firing her. Today, I gathered everyone here, not mainly to deal with house servants, but because of another matter. So people, whom I had cordially invited over for the banquet, disregard any fear and dare to gang up and bully my woman, Gu Shaocheng’s woman. Honestly, I find it hard to understand how such disappointing events have happened! Tonight, I, Mr. Gu, would like everyone to bear witness to this and ask those guests, for what reason did they bully my woman in my ho? How should this matter be settled?"
"Mr. Gu... I truly didn’t know that the young lady was your woman... Please consider the huge profits my father brings to the Gu Family each year with big-heartedness..."
"Exactly, we didn’t know she is your woman either. If even the servants in your ho don’t recognize her, how could we possibly recognize her? We just thought she was a person with a contagious disease and feared she would run around and spread the virus to everyone... Ignorance is innocence, please have rcy..."
"Mr. Gu, I am the heiress of the He Yu Corporation. Please, in consideration of my father working tirelessly for the Gu Family for many years... please save face for my father... I apologize to this young lady... I didn’t an to... Who could have thought she was your woman..."
"Unexpected?" Gu Shaocheng abruptly interrupted her, lowering his head and softly asking Chenxing, "Chenxing, did you tell them who you are?"
Chenxing quietly humd an affirmative.
"Repeat what you initially introduced yourself as, word for word, in front of everyone."
Listening to Gu Shaocheng’s tone, Chenxing knew the man was seething with anger, his fury directed at everyone but her, "I said, my na is Chenxing, I am a woman who lives in the inner courtyard."
"Is that all?"
Actually, not just that, Chenxing bit her lower lip, her face turning red, slightly embarrassed.
At that ti, in such a situation, she was eager to get away, kept explaining to others that she was Gu Shaocheng’s woman, thinking that if she said so, they would let her go, but the result was otherwise – the more she said, the more she was laughed at.
Chenxing closed her eyes for a mont, wiping away those embarrassing images in her mind, and continued, "I also said, I am Gu Shaocheng’s woman, this sentence."
The man, who was originally as calm as an old well, suddenly lit up, his face shining, appearing as if nourished by all things in the world. The magnificent smile, the delight that he just couldn’t resist.
Those eyes, as tender as water!
That voice, full of barely concealed joy!
"Did you really say that?" Gu Shaocheng asked again.
Chenxing felt a rush of heat in her head, her cheeks were as if they were on fire, even her ears all hot and flushed.
Oh gosh, why could she hear the sound of her own heart pounding?
Thumping, thumping, non-stop...
