Ch 123: Complaining To Gu Yuanzhou?
Shen Mingyue watched her back view and decided to teach her a lesson, not only to make her return the stolen money, but also to give her a prison gift package.
Initially, she and Bai Jingjing both felt sorry for Cao Shuangxi, so they kept her working at the clothing store and took good care of her in all aspects.
Unexpectedly, a little kindness was repaid with great unkindness; the better they treated her, the less she appreciated it, thinking their help was taken for granted.
Since that’s the case, then she can’t blame her.
Bai Jingjing was in a low mood all day, and Shen Mingyue held her hand and comforted her for a long time.
“Don’t worry, these are small matters. Even if we can’t get the fifteen hundred yuan back, it doesn’t matter. Since I trust you and let you manage the shop, if there are any problems, we’ll solve them together. Learn from experience, and just pay more attention next time.”
If they really couldn’t get the money back, Shen Mingyue wouldn’t make Bai Jingjing repay it; she would just consider it a lesson learned.
Now that the money is lost, Bai Jingjing already feels very guilty. Even if she were more careful, she couldn’t have guarded against a villain by her side, so how could she be blamed further?
Bai Jingjing was deeply moved by Shen Mingyue’s words; even with a strong personality, she couldn’t help but her eyes redden.
“Sister Mingyue, you’re too kind to me. This makes me feel even worse. How could I lose the money? It’s all the money we worked so hard to earn.”
Shen Mingyue patted her shoulder, “There are gains and losses. Losing money isn’t terrible; you can earn it back. What’s terrible is losing confidence.”
Shen Mingxia watched from the side, only feeling that her older sister was amazing. That was more than fifteen hundred yuan; she had never seen so much money in her life. Now that it was lost, her older sister wasn’t worried at all, but was comforting others instead.
Her bearing and demeanor were truly unmatched.
Shen Mingyue thought that Cao Shuangxi wouldn’t dare to cause trouble, and that besides the police investigating the case, the two of them wouldn’t have any other interaction.
Unexpectedly, on this day, she had just returned from school and was preparing to drive home when she saw Cao Shuangxi at the entrance to the family courtyard. Besides Cao Shuangxi, there was also Gu Yuanzhou.
Gu Yuanzhou had driven back and was stopped by Cao Shuangxi. She stood in front of his car, and Gu Yuanzhou had no choice but to get out of the car to ask what was going on.
After Cao Shuangxi went home yesterday, she was severely scolded by her parents, and Father Cao even slapped her, saying that she didn’t cherish such a good job, and that she would never find such a high salary again, urging her to go back and beg Shen Mingyue to let her return to work and earn money.
Cao Shuangxi had some money on her now, but she spent it all on herself. She didn’t give a single cent of the fifteen hundred yuan to her family. After all, she wasn’t stupid; why should she give them the money she had painstakingly stolen?
Every day, after returning home, she would take off her watch, fearing that her family would find out.
After being beaten, Cao Shuangxi thought it over and decided that it was better to continue working at the shop.
As long as the police couldn’t find out anything, and she hadn’t committed any major mistakes, why would Shen Mingyue be so aggressive?
However, she didn’t dare to go to Shen Mingyue to make a fuss. She had a sudden idea and thought of Gu Yuanzhou.
Gu Yuanzhou looked so polite, and he was an official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; he must be very tolerant towards common people.
She was a young girl with some beauty, and if she cried and pleaded, he might help her.
So today, she came to wait early. After seeing Gu Yuanzhou’s car, she stopped him without hesitation.
After Gu Yuanzhou got out of the car, he frowned. If it weren’t for his good driving skills, he might have run her over.
This comrade was really too reckless.
Seeing Gu Yuanzhou, Cao Shuangxi’s eyes reddened, and she quickly stepped forward.
“Brother Gu, do you remember me? I’m Xiao Cao, the salesperson at the clothing store.”
Gu Yuanzhou had a good memory and naturally had an impression. Seeing Cao Shuangxi’s appearance, he had a bad feeling.
“Is there something wrong?”
Cao Shuangxi looked aggrieved, pouting her mouth, and her body trembling slightly.
“Brother Gu, is it convenient to talk over there? It’s a bit complicated.”
Gu Yuanzhou glanced at his watch, clearly impatient. It was already this late; he wanted to go home early to be with his wife.
“Just say it here.”
Gu Yuanzhou’s attitude was firm. Seeing this, Cao Shuangxi felt a little embarrassed, but after seeing his face, she was stunned again.
This man was incredibly exquisite. Just standing opposite him made her feel a little breathless.
Why did Shen Mingyue have such good luck, able to sleep with such a man?
Cao Shuangxi cried and told him the story, naturally exaggerating things.
“Brother Gu, you’re an official. I don’t trust anyone else, only you. I think this job is very good, and I’ve brought a lot of income to the shop. I don’t want to be dismissed by the boss. Can you help me persuade Sister Mingyue? If she doesn’t let me go back to work, my parents will beat me to death. She can’t be so heartless!”
Gu Yuanzhou thought, isn’t this moral blackmail? What does her troubled original family have to do with Shen Mingyue?
Besides, Shen Mingyue is the boss. She can hire whomever she wants. This is her freedom. If even the boss can’t decide whether to keep an employee, what’s the point of being a boss?
Furthermore, Gu Yuanzhou knew his wife’s character very well. If she wanted to dismiss Cao Shuangxi, there must be a good reason.
The intentions of this female comrade coming to him to say these things were clearly revealed.
“Mingyue has her reasons for doing things. Although I am her husband, I have no right to interfere. Go back.”
After Gu Yuanzhou finished speaking, he opened the car door and was about to get in, clearly unwilling to discuss this further.
As for a woman, he didn’t want to speak too harshly.
Cao Shuangxi didn’t expect Gu Yuanzhou to be so cold, and she felt incredibly hurt.
She had become so humble, couldn’t he see?
Cao Shuangxi was unwilling to be ignored like this. Looking at Gu Yuanzhou’s back view, she rushed forward and reached out to grab his arm.
Although Gu Yuanzhou didn’t turn around, he had already heard the noise and reacted quickly. He moved his slender body to the side. Cao Shuangxi didn’t grab him and fell down, her knees scraping against the ground.
Shen Mingyue, in the car, couldn’t help but chuckle.
Gu Yuanzhou was really amazing. Anyone who thought he was easy to talk to would be mistaken.
People like him seemed friendly to everyone, but they didn’t really take anyone seriously, and their nature was aloof.
Who did Cao Shuangxi think she was? Going to Gu Yuanzhou to gossip was just adding to her own troubles.
Cao Shuangxi ate some dirt and struggled to get up. Looking down, wow, her pants were torn, and her knee was injured.
She looked at Gu Yuanzhou in disbelief, “Brother Gu, how could you do this?”
Gu Yuanzhou’s face turned completely cold.
“Now, seeing your performance, I seem to understand why Mingyue dismissed you.”
