Chapter 514: Waiting for a Person Whose Return Date Was Unknown (4)
Only Qin Zhi’ai and Liang Doukou knew that Qin Zhi’ai was innocent.
But even if I speak the truth, no one will believe me. I’m just an intern.
How can I argue with Liang Doukou? Old Master Gu will certainly back her up.
And Xiaowang’s look to me was a clear sign to deal with this matter simply, probably because this old wise man would expect me to.
Qin Zhi’ai clenched her hands into fists, looked down, and then bowed to Old Master Gu. “Mr. Gu, I am sorry.”
In fact, Old Master Gu had not been hurt at all, and he had never been a man who held grudges over minute details, much less against a young woman. With Qin Zhi’ai’s apology, he waved his hand without hesitation.
Xiaowang was relieved when he saw that Old Master Gu had all but forgotten the close call, but he was afraid that Liang Doukou would continue to make things difficult for them. Intending to get Qin Zhi’ai out of her predicament, he immediately said, “Secretary Qin, look at yourself! Go tidy up.”
Qin Zhi’ai, fully understanding Xiaowang’s direction, replied “yes” and turned to leave.
Is Liang Doukou really going to let me leave this easily?
The only reason she came to Hui Shi is to drive me away.
She failed this time to force me into a mistake with Old Master Gu but, if she gets another chance, I might not be so lucky.
The moment Qin Zhi’ai lifted her foot, Liang Doukou quickly said, “Wait a minute!”
Qin Zhi’ai stopped.
Liang Doukou continued, “Secretary Qin, you see what you’ve done here. This room is a mess. I don’t think you can just leave until you clean up Yusheng’s office. Wouldn’t you agree?”
“Secretary Qin, you must clean this office. So, go on, clean up this room quickly, or else Yusheng will get angry if he returns to this mess.”
Xiaowang interjected, “Secretary Qin should probably go clean up herself right now. Let me tidy up.” He went to the bathroom and grabbed some rags and a mop.
“Driver Wang, Yusheng pays you a lot of money each month. Is it your job to clean?” Liang Doukou spoke gently and slowly and then looked sideways at Old Master Gu. “Besides, Driver Wang, she is not Yusheng’s only female secretary, yet you always seem to be protecting her. Am I right?”
Xiaowang’s heart skipped a beat.
Is she asking me? Because she’s looking at Old Master Gu like she’s talking to him.
She obviously wants Old Master Gu to think that Secretary Qin is given special treatment here, because she knows that only Gu Yusheng would allow me to do that.
Clearly, she wants Old Master Gu to think of Qin Zhi’ai and Gu Yusheng as having an unusual relationship.
Old Master Gu likes Liang Doukou so much that he wouldn’t tolerate Gu Yusheng having affairs.
Xiaowang clearly saw Old Master Gu considering what Liang Doukou had just said.
“No, Miss Liang,” Xiaowang quickly explained, “you might have misunderstood something.”
