Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law

But when did I ever get a secretary? How come I don't know anything about this?

"Ma'am, I think there's been some misunderstanding," Liu Ergou said, looking confused. "I just took the 500,000 he gave me. I didn't do anything else. He left right after giving it to me."

"Oh, right, he even gave me a business card at the end!"

Before Liu Ergou had even finished speaking, Lu Shuangyue's aunt spat right at his face without a shred of courtesy.

"Ptooey! You're full of shit!"

Seeing the spit flying toward him, Liu Ergou quickly twisted his head to dodge it. He liked beautiful women, but he certainly didn't want one spitting in his face!

As Liu Ergou was complaining internally, Lu Shuangyue's aunt continued, "You're such a good liar! After my secretary came back yesterday, her stockings were torn, her knees were scraped, and her face was streaked with tears! Seeing her like that, do I even need to spell out what happened?"

Hearing this, Liu Ergou couldn't hold back any longer. With a forceful shove, he pushed Lu Shuangyue's aunt off him.

"Are you insane?" he said coldly. "Why would I go out of my way to harass a young girl? Use your brain for a second and think about it!"

But at this point, nothing Liu Ergou said could get through to Lu Shuangyue's aunt; she was utterly convinced she was right. Seeing that she was about to start arguing and pounce on him again, Liu Ergou grabbed her by the neck and pinned her to the ground.

"Stop moving! If you don't believe me, have your secretary come in here and explain exactly how her stockings got torn and her knees got scraped!"

Pinned to the ground, Lu Shuangyue's aunt retorted, "Don't even bother! She was obviously threatened by you. She wouldn't tell the truth even if she came! I questioned her for so long yesterday, and she refused to say what really happened. Besides you threatening her, I can't think of any other possibility!"

Looking at the woman he had pinned to the floor, Liu Ergou fell silent for a moment. It was only now that he finally understood. He realized this was all a product of her own wild imagination—she had somehow convinced herself that he had *done something* to her secretary. It was completely absurd.

At this point, Liu Ergou's brows were furrowed in a deep knot. However, he also understood why the secretary wouldn't tell the truth. It was simply because she had knelt before him and was too embarrassed to admit it.

Thinking of this, Liu Ergou called the secretary in.

"The secretary outside, come in for a moment!"

The words had barely left his mouth when the door swung open, and the secretary cautiously peeked inside. When she saw her boss pinned to the floor by Liu Ergou, she immediately panicked.

"Liu Ergou, let go of my President!" the secretary cried. "If you don't let her go…"

By now, Liu Ergou's patience was completely gone. Before the secretary could finish, he pointed to her knees and demanded, "Tell your boss yourself. How exactly did your knees get scraped? Tell me the honest truth!"

Hearing the question, the secretary instinctively froze, then shook her head frantically like a rattle drum, refusing to say a word. This display drove Liu Ergou deeper into despair.

Great. At this point, I couldn't talk my way out of this even if I had a hundred mouths.

With a helpless sigh, Liu Ergou resigned himself.

"Hah…"

"This is ridiculous!"

He then turned to the silent secretary and explained what had just transpired. After Liu Ergou's explanation, the secretary finally understood the situation.

She quickly replied, "President, you've misunderstood! I accidentally fell when I was at his place yesterday! From beginning to end, Mr. Liu never even touched my hand. You're really overthinking things!"

Seeing the serious expression on her secretary's face, Lu Shuangyue's aunt was still a little skeptical and pressed her again.

"Are you sure you're not lying to me?"

The secretary nodded emphatically. "Why would I lie to you? It's really all a misunderstanding!"

Then she turned back to Liu Ergou. "Mr. Liu, please let go of my President!"

Hearing this, Liu Ergou let out a cold snort and released Lu Shuangyue's aunt.

While rubbing her wrists, Lu Shuangyue's aunt said to her secretary, "Aiya, why didn't you just say so earlier! If you had, none of this would have happened. It was just a little fall!"

Hearing her boss's words, the secretary lowered her head in embarrassment.

"I was too embarrassed to say…"

Liu Ergou watched this unfold and couldn't help but snort coldly again. Without any hesitation, he turned and stormed out.

"Forget it! I'm not earning this money!" he said as he walked. "These 500,000 are too hard to earn! One wrong move and I'm labeled a hooligan! By the time I finish treating you, I'll probably get myself executed! I'm done. Farewell!"

In the time it took him to say all that, Liu Ergou had already reached the door and was about to leave the office. Seeing this, the secretary panicked. Forgetting everything else, she rushed over and grabbed his arm.

"Mr. Liu, please don't be angry! You're the bigger person here!" she begged with a pitiful expression. "My President didn't mean it. Please, just treat her!"

Meanwhile, Lu Shuangyue's aunt also realized her mistake. After a moment's hesitation, she apologized to Liu Ergou.

"I'm sorry, Liu Ergou. It was my fault. I shouldn't have misunderstood you. I'm apologizing now, and I hope you won't stay angry!"

Hearing the apology from Lu Shuangyue's aunt, Liu Ergou, who had been about to leave, stopped in his tracks. In truth, all he wanted was for her to admit she was wrong. Now that she had, there was no reason for him to leave. She had given him an out, and it would be foolish to refuse it.

With this thought, Liu Ergou snorted again.

"Hmph!"

"Next time, I hope you'll get your facts straight before you act!" he warned. "If there is a next time, an apology won't cut it. Do you understand?"

With that, Liu Ergou walked back into the room and sat down on the sofa. He stared at Lu Shuangyue's aunt for a long moment.

Then, he asked, "What's your name?"

Lu Shuangyue's aunt immediately replied, "My name is Lu Xiaoyu."

Hearing this name, Liu Ergou couldn't help but blink. He never would have expected Lu Shuangyue's aunt to have such a cute name.

Lu Xiaoyu. Now that's interesting.

Liu Ergou nodded, then gestured to the sofa he was on. "Alright, Lu Xiaoyu, take off your clothes from the waist up and lie down on the sofa."

The moment these words left his mouth, Lu Xiaoyu, who had just calmed down, shot her eyes wide open. She stared at Liu Ergou in utter disbelief.
