C3 Chapter 3

Wen Jie's expression did not change. He stood straight in front of them with a smile on his face.

"You dare to openly kidnap people in Jun Yue's hall? Tell me, who's the one standing behind you?"

The men sneered and went up together. "Who are you? How dare you cause trouble for us brothers. Since we have done it, we have nothing to be afraid of."

Wen Jie put his hand in his pocket and slowly said, "Hey, you have quite the tone. "However, we will have to see who is in front of us to snatch her away. This lady belongs to our Second Master. Brother, we will have to see if you can afford to provoke her before we attack!"

"Si Family?"

The few men looked at each other, and one of them said in a low voice, "Be careful, that person has a guy in his pocket."

The man who had bound Su Annuo's arm was unwilling to give up, so he asked, "Which Si Clan?"

"Jun Yue!"

The brawny men were stunned when they heard this. They looked at each other and immediately decided to admit their mistake. "Sorry for the offense!"

The few of them pushed Su Annuo away and ran, soon disappearing before their eyes. Su Annuo hurriedly said, "With these guys here, why did you let them go?"

Wen Jie smiled and took out his entire pocket, "I'm a good citizen, how could I have that thing?"

Seeing this, Su Annuo was stunned for a moment. Then she smiled, rubbed her arm and leaned to the side.

"Miss Annuo, are you alright?"

As soon as Wen Jie finished his sentence, he saw Si Mingyu bringing a group of people with him. When Su Annuo noticed this, she immediately stood up and lowered her head.

Si Mingyu first scanned her body and saw that she wasn't injured. Then, he secretly felt relieved.

"Director." Wen Jie walked forward and recounted what happened just now. Finally, he said, "They just escaped through the front passage. But now, Ke Xian and the others have subdued them and are waiting for your orders."

Su Annuo was very surprised by Wen Jie's words. She couldn't help but raise her head and look at him. He had clearly let them go, and he had been standing here ever since. How did he know that those people had been subdued?

However, she still didn't dare to make a sound when Si Mingyu was in front of her. In the end, she quietly shrank back and tried her best to make him not notice her.

As soon as Wen Jie finished his words, the manager immediately went up and answered: "Director, I'll arrange for someone to come over immediately and send the criminals to the station. I'll definitely give Miss Su an explanation for what happened today!"

Su Annuo was a little worried that Wen Jie's lie would soon be exposed, but was also surprised by the manager's sudden change in attitude.

"Yes," grandpa Si replied in a light tone.

The manager immediately gave the order to act. With a wave of his hand, he led the group of people away in high spirits.

At this moment, no one knew how excited the manager was. An ordinary lady who came to work was actually Second Master Si's woman? He felt that he had dug up a treasure. Who could understand the feeling of not being able to speak with others?

After the people at the side left, Si Mingyu turned to Su Annuo.

She was bullied again after he left …

Si Mingyu's face was cold and his eyes were scary.

Su Annuo encouraged herself and whispered her thanks. "Thank you, Second Uncle."

"You called me Second Uncle?" Si Mingyu felt a pang in his heart and asked coldly.

Su Annuo cursed and immediately bowed in apology, "Yes, yes, I'm sorry. I was getting further and further away from you, Director."

"..."

With this, Si Mingyu became even more agitated. His heart suddenly felt sour and his eyes were like torches as he stared straight at her, unable to say a word for a long time.

Wen Jie was worried. Why didn't this grandma understand their boss's heart?

Si Mingyu and Su Annuo stood facing each other. However, Su Annuo did not dare to look at him directly, so she kept her head down. Si Mingyu stared at the top of her head as he tried his best to think of a topic in his head. He didn't want to be separated from her like this.

"Are you in need of money?"

Si Mingyu recalled what Wen Jie had said to him. Since they were here to work, they should be short on money.

Su Annuo froze for a moment before she subconsciously shook her head.

He explained in a small voice, "No, no, it's my third year now. There aren't as many classes as in the past. Since I'm free anyway, I'll try it out..."

Wen Jie: "Aunt, you are clearly in need of money. So what if you admit it? Don't tell me that the boss doesn't know the real situation of your family?"

Si Mingyu also went silent. He didn't expect her to say that, so the reply he prepared was swallowed back just like that.

After a moment of silence, he could only unwillingly reply, "Yes."

Wen Jie, who was not far away, was extremely anxious when he saw the two of them fighting against each other. The emotional problems of his boss were giving him a headache!

Seeing that the boss was so unhelpful, Wen Jie could only muster up the courage to help.

"Miss Su."

Su Annuo raised her head and looked at Wen Jie upon hearing that. Si Mingyu also followed and glanced at him.

Wen Jie immediately smiled fawningly and said, "Our boss is going to the 'Shengli Pavilion' to relax later on. Miss Su, you should come along as well. Young people should like to go there to play, right?"

Si Mingyu frowned. Victory Pavilion? However, he immediately gave Wen Jie a praising look. If it was him, he would definitely not have thought of such an idea.

When Su Annuo heard this, she immediately shook her head and refused. "I'm not going. I'm still working. Thank you for your kind intentions!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt that it wasn't good to reject him like this, even if he didn't want to see her in his heart. But to show her respect to the Director, she bowed to him again.

"I'm sorry."

Si Mingyu felt a dull pain in his chest and could not be ignored. He no longer looked at the woman who was bending her waist and strode into the banquet hall.

"Let's go!"

"Boss …" Wen Jie suddenly felt helpless. The two of them were originally the Prince Xiang and the Goddess of Dreams, but the boss would always put on a cold face in front of others. How could the girl not misunderstand?

When Su Annuo saw that he had left, she felt relieved. Who would have thought that Si Mingyu was angry out of embarrassment?

However, she didn't feel anything when she faced Grandpa Si. Now that she relaxed, she actually felt dizzy.

Unable to control her body, she stumbled backward and leaned against the wall.

She helplessly pressed her head and couldn't help but wonder if the few cups of wine from before had knocked her out.

"Miss Annuo, are you feeling well anywhere?"

Su Annuo raised her eyes and smiled, "I'm fine. Maybe I just drank a little and felt a little dizzy. I'll just rest here for a while."

"There really aren't any problems?" Wen Jie asked.

Su Annuo nodded. "It's really nothing. Just take care of your own business."

"Why don't you go to the lounge to rest? Don't stand here, I'll pour you a cup of sobering tea." Wen Jie was very serious about Su Annuo. After all, she was one of the top people in his boss' heart, so he had to take good care of her.

"There's no need to trouble yourself. I'll just stand for a moment …"

However, Su Annuo couldn't refuse Wen Jie's offer and was pushed into the employee lounge. Wen Jie went to get some sobered tea, but the manager came back first.

When the manager saw her from outside, he immediately smiled obsequiously at her. He didn't even get to enter the door before he gave her a look. The sharp contrast between the manager's attitude before and now made Su Annuo uncomfortable.

After sitting for a while, Su Annuo felt a bit hot. She turned down the air conditioner and sat on the chair, feeling more and more dizzy.

On the other side, after Wen Jie had settled Su Annuo in the resting room, he immediately went to the hall to find Si Mingyu. He whispered a few words into Si Mingyu's ear and waited for the lord to nod before leaving.

Wen Jie brewed a cup of sobering tea. After looking at the cup and hesitating for a long time, he finally made up his mind. He took out a packet of powder from his pocket and poured it into the cup.

When Wen Jie appeared in the employee lounge, the manager immediately went up to him and said enthusiastically, "Mr. Wen Jie, I'm fine with this kind of thing."

He wanted to reach out to grab the cup from Wen Jie's hand, but Wen Jie coldly rejected him.

"No need."
