Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Why?” Meng Nianyao was stunned.
Gu Wencheng didn’t even look at her.”
“Why can’t I resign?”
“Because I’m the boss and you’re the employee.”
“I didn’t sign any employment contract with you.”
“Is that so?” Gu Wencheng looked up.
In an instant, Meng Nianyao understood. Her expression turned cold and she was so angry that she even cursed, “Gu Wencheng, you tricked me?”
Gu Wencheng’s face turned cold. “Meng Nianyao, take your words back!”
Meng Nianyao wished she could throw something at his face and trick him again and again! Take her words back? Why doesn’t he take her ass!
Meng Nianyao slammed the door and left! She didn’t even go to work and left the company directly! However, as soon as she left the company building, she began to feel lost again. She did not know where to go and did not have much money on her. She hailed a taxi and told him a random address.
This was a leisure area, and there were many tea restaurants and book bars around. After Meng Nianyao got out of the car, she walked along the road for a while and saw a book bar, so she walked in. She picked up a book to read, but she couldn’t seem to understand a single word; her mind was filled with the things that Gu Wencheng had done to her twice.
The first time was when she signed an agreement without knowing that she couldn’t get a divorce for five years. This was the second time, when she signed a labor contract. Meng Nianyao didn’t believe that Gu Wencheng didn’t know that she had joined the Gu Corporation to take revenge on Meng Haotian. Now that Meng Haotian was in a lawsuit, he would spend his next life in prison. She wanted to resign, but Gu Wencheng wouldn’t approve!
The more Meng Nianyao thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, and her eyes began to redden.
“Nianyao?” Suddenly, someone called her name. When she turned around, she realized that it was Grandpa and Grandma Gu coming down the stairs. As they were not sure if it was her, the two elderly people stood at the stairs and looked at her with narrowed eyes.
Meng Nianyao stood up and walked over. “It’s me, Grandma and Grandpa Gu. Why are you here?”
Grandma Gu smiled widely and held Meng Nianyao’s hand. “It’s really Nianyao. I knew it was you, but your grandfather insisted that it wasn’t.”
Grandpa Gu rubbed his nose and didn’t say anything.
Grandma Gu pulled Meng Nianyao toward the seat she had been sitting at. As they walked, she asked, “You didn’t go to work today? What about Gu Wencheng? Why isn’t he with you?”
Meng Nianyao didn’t know how to answer. After a moment of silence, she said, “I skipped work…”
“Skipping work? Skipping work is good! Then, why don’t you accompany Grandpa and Grandma this afternoon?” Grandma Gu slapped her thigh with a laugh.
Meng Nianyao looked at Grandma Gu’s kind face and didn’t know how to reject her. “But…Grandma Gu, I…”
“Just call me Grandma.” The more Grandma Gu looked at Meng Nianyao, the more she liked her. “Why add the word ‘Gu’? It sounds awkward.”
Meng Nianyao couldn’t smile anymore. Grandma Gu, you might have misunderstood…Gu Wencheng and I…”
“There’s no misunderstanding.” Grandma Gu raised her hand to call the waiter of the book bar and ordered three sets of pastries. Seeing that Grandpa Gu had been sitting there without saying a word, she asked the waiter to get him a book for him to read. Then, she continued to talk to Meng Nianyao. “1 know Wencheng the best, from Ning Xi…” Grandma Gu suddenly paused.
Meng Nianyao looked up. Ning Xi?
Grandma Gu waved her hand.” Forget it, forget it. It’s not my place to talk about Wencheng’s private matters. Let him tell you himself. But don’t think too much about it—Ning Xi is just his first love. Gu Wencheng is already twenty-eight years old. It’s impossible for him not to have any emotional experience, right?”
Meng Nianyao nodded and smiled. She knew that Grandma Gu was afraid that she would mind Gu Wencheng’s past feelings, but if Grandma Gu knew that she was divorced, she would definitely not think so. She might even think that she was not worthy of being Gu Wencheng’s girlfriend.
“I know, Grandma.”
“Be good.” Grandma Gu moved the snacks served by the waiter to Meng Nianyao. “Try it. The desserts in this book bar are not bad at all.”
Meng Nianyao took a bite. It was indeed not bad.
Grandma Gu continued, “Gu Wencheng is already 28 years old. You are the first girl he said he would bring back to have dinner with us. So Nianyao, do you know how special you are?”
Grandma Gu didn’t give a long speech. She simply stated what she had seen, but it was these few simple sentences that made Meng Nianyao unsure of how to respond.
Just as she was thinking about how to answer, Grandpa Gu snorted. “You only know how to meddle in other people’s business. Gu Wencheng is already an adult. If he can’t find a wife, he will be a bachelor for the rest of his life..”
