C11 An Unreachable Love Rival
Gu Yingjue was a workaholic. Usually, he wouldn't go home unless he worked overtime until ten o'clock. To him, running a company wasn't a hard job but a pleasure. He also linked the meaning of life to the shares of the ZA Group.
However, it was unusual today. Before the sky turned dark, his car appeared at the door, catching Yee Xiaonian unprepared.
She quickly took out the soup from the fridge to heat it up. Then, she followed the butler and other maids out to welcome them.
As usual, Gu Yingjue got down from the backseat of the car, but he did not walk straight in, because another woman came out of the car right after him.
Her curly hair was draped over her shoulders, her facial features were delicate, her makeup was delicate, and the diamonds in her room were faintly sparkling. Yee Xiaonian had seen the small print bag in her right hand in a magazine before. At that time, Zhang Xiaohua pointed at the photo of the bag and said to her, "Count the number behind the zero, even if we set up a stall for the rest of our lives. I can't afford a bag."
But there were many rich people in this world. Everyone lived their own lives and Yee Xiaonian did not care about this kind of thing. What she cared about was the black wool coat on that woman's shoulder.
The coat was wide and long. The woman's body was small and the clothes she wore were almost dragging the floor. It obviously did not fit her.
The coat belonged to Gu Yingjue. The woman's expression was very happy and her smile was as beautiful as a rose.
Yee Xiaonian subconsciously took a step back. She had received a new uniform this morning. It was a large European style maid dress. Yee Xiaonian was very happy when she put it on because it was the first time in her life that she wore this type of clothes. In the mirror, she also looked quite pretty and attracted Gu Yingjue to be even more confident.
Now it seemed that it was extremely ridiculous.
However, she didn't expect that if she didn't withdraw, she would attract the attention of the crowd instead. That beautiful woman also looked at her and waved at her.
Yee Xiaonian pointed to the tip of her nose and asked, "Me?"
The woman smiled and nodded.
Yee Xiaonian was a little hesitant. The butler pushed her from behind and scolded in a low voice, "What are you still standing there for? Didn't you hear Miss Zhou call you?"
Hence Yee Xiaonian could only clench her teeth and step forward.
Miss Zhou took off her coat and casually handed it to her, revealing the complicated pink dress inside. She asked sweetly," Are you new here? Why haven't I seen you before?"
Yee Xiaonian thought in her heart. It's over. Not only was the other party beautiful, it sounded like he often came to the Gu residence.
The butler saw that she was as wooden as a wooden dummy and replied on her behalf, "I replied to Miss Zhou. She was only recruited last week."
Miss Zhou clenched her fist and lightly pounded Gu Yingjue's body. She pouted and said, "Annoying, no wonder you didn't come to find me. It turns out that the family recruited such a beautiful little maid..."
Gu Yingjue had always been watching coldly from the side. His face was expressionless. He held her fist and said in a deep voice, "Stop messing around. It is too cold outside. Go in."
The butler hurriedly led the way and the group followed. Yee Xiaonian walked at the back of the group. During the day, she was still full of energy as if she had emptied it all. She felt that with such a huge mountain in front of her, she was getting further and further away from the one million yuan.
And in her heart, she also felt a trace of undetectable disappointment.
Gu Yingjue was so cold and aloof, so high and mighty. There should not be any woman who could stand in his eyes.
But he was clearly so polite to Miss Zhou just now. Compared to his reaction towards her before, he could even be called gentle.
Who exactly was this Miss Zhou?
With this doubt, Yee Xiaonian took advantage of the time when Gu Yingjue and Miss Zhou were talking in the living room and secretly went to the butler to ask.
The reply the butler gave her was, "Work well and don't meddle in other people's business."
Yee Xiaonian was not discouraged and thought that she had found the wrong person. There was no woman in the world who did not gossip. This kind of thing, she should go and find a woman.
With this kind of thought, she walked to the kitchen and saw an average-looking young maid washing the dishes inside. Yee Xiaonian had already known her during the day and felt that she liked to talk. She was a very suitable candidate, so she walked over and rolled up her sleeves and said, "Ms Fann, let me help you wash the dishes."
Ms Fann was overjoyed, "Then I am so sorry."
"It's fine, it's fine. Anyway, I have nothing to do anyway."
Yee Xiaonian stood by the side of the pool. As she lowered her head to wash the dishes, she was thinking about how to get some information from Ms Fann. She did not expect that the other party would actually take the initiative to open his mouth.
Ms Fann used her shoulder to knock Yee Xiaonian. She lowered her voice and winked as she spoke. : "Do you know? Miss Zhou, who just arrived, was a celebrity! "
Yee Xiaonian said in surprise, "It can't be..."
She tried her best to recall in her mind, but she still had no impression of that person. Confused, she said," I haven't seen her on television. "
Ms Fann explained, "She is not a big star. She is just a model who just debuted."
Yee Xiaonian sighed and said, "It turns out that Mr. Gu likes people from the entertainment industry."
Ms Fann pretended to be profound and smiled, saying, "You don't understand. This Miss Zhou is not as simple as it seems."
"Then what other identity does she have?"
Ms Fann looked at the door behind her and made sure that there was no one else by her side. She leaned closer to her and said, "Mr. Gu's parents are friends with her parents. The two of them were engaged to each other since they were young."
These words were like a bolt from the blue. Yee Xiaonian was shocked and her hand slipped and the bowl fell down. Fortunately, there was a pool below and it did not break, but it also splashed a lot of water.
Ms Fann hurriedly dodged and complained, "Aiya! Why are you so careless?"
Yee Xiaonian came back to her senses and immediately went to find a tissue to wipe her clothes. She repeatedly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm just... I'm just too surprised. Mr. Gu doesn't look like a person who is engaged..."
She did not dare to say the most important thing. If Gu Yingjue was engaged, what would she do? Didn't everything that she had done before become useless?
Zhang Xiaohua was still lying in the hospital, waiting for her good news. This undoubtedly forced her to a dead end.
Ms Fann waved her hand unhappily and said, "Don't wipe, don't wipe anymore."
Yee Xiaonian carefully asked, "Ms Fann, is what you said true? Why haven't I seen it on the news before?"
"Then is it true? Mr. Gu is such a noble person. If he wasn't his fiancée, why would he casually bring a woman home?"
Ms Fann knew the reason why she stayed here. She also knew what she did a few days ago. Pretending to be earnest, she said," I only told you this because you called me Ms Fann. Compared to Miss Zhou, you are not even qualified to carry shoes for others. Stop dreaming. "
Yee Xiaonian stared at the pond in a daze.
She had never dreamt of marrying into a wealthy family. She was forced to do so. If she had a choice, she would never pursue such an unreachable figure.
However, things had already come to this point and there was no way to turn back.
Ms Fann knew that she was not feeling well and patted her shoulder. Comforting, "You are still so young. How good would it be to go out and find a boyfriend who is about the same as you? Don't think about Mr. Gu anymore. Miss Zhou and I are a match made in heaven."
Yee Xiaonian did not say anything. She smiled bitterly at her.
The butler walked in and scolded, "Why are you here? Mr. Gu and Miss Zhou are about to eat. Hurry up and prepare!"
"Ah..." Yee Xiaonian then remembered her job. She quickly wiped her hands and ran out in a hurry.
The butler did not immediately leave but turned around and said to Ms Fann, "In the future when you go to work, do not gossip. Otherwise, bear the consequences. Do you understand?"
In this huge villa, the housekeeper was only second to Gu Yingjue. Even if Ms Fann was a hundred times unwilling in her heart, she did not dare to disobey him. She repeatedly promised that she would not do it again in the future.
When Yee Xiaonian rushed to the dining room, Gu Yingjue and Miss Zhou had already taken their seats.
The dining room of the Gu family was very large and the decoration was luxurious. If it was open to outsiders, it could be directly opened as a coffee shop. In the middle of the restaurant, there was a huge crystal chandelier. Under the lamp was a rectangular marble table with complicated patterns. Next to the table was a dining chair of the same style.
When Yee Xiaonian cleaned this place during the day, she had carefully counted that there were twelve dining chairs. It was enough for the banquet.
Gu Yingjue rarely brought people home. Ordinary people would not dare to visit his house. He himself was not a person who loved delicious food, so the chairs were mostly empty. At this moment, Gu Yingjue was sitting in the main seat while Miss Zhou was sitting on the first seat on his right. It was also his side.
As soon as Gu Yingjue looked up, he could see Miss Zhou, who was becoming more and more beautiful under the light, as well as the sweet smile on her face.
Yee Xiaonian felt that seeing this kind of scene was a kind of harm to her, but since the work had been assigned, she could not escape at the last minute, so she just lowered her head and stared at the floor. She could not see or feel annoyed.
After watching for a while, she looked up again because she found that even though her head was lowered, her ears were still chasing after Gu Yingjue, listening to their conversation without missing a word.
Miss Zhou was not only beautiful, but also naive and romantic. She kept telling Gu Yingjue about the interesting things that had happened recently.
Gu Yingjue's reaction was very simple.
"Really?" " Oh." "Alright."
Yee Xiaonian was in a good mood when she heard that. She wanted to applaud and praise him. She cast a praising look at the back of his head.
Miss Zhou talked for a long time. In the end, she was probably tired. She held her face and stared at Gu Yingjue.
She was indeed a person who dabbled in the entertainment industry. She looked weak, but in fact, she was very capable. Her eyes were full of love from a young girl. She was straightforward, shy, sweet and seductive.
If it were an ordinary man, he would have been unable to control himself. He would have wanted to drink with her and spend the night with her.
However, Gu Yingjue was not an ordinary man. He casually brushed her off. His mind was thinking about what he had said during the meeting today.
Miss Zhou saw that he was distracted and pouted. She pouted and complained, "You don't love me at all!"
Gu Yingjue finally shifted his gaze to her charming face, but his tone was still perfunctory. "How could that be?"
Miss Zhou had been a "martial arts master" since she was young. She was especially good at using cotton candy fists. She softly threw them at men, making them not hate but love instead.
With the help of this set of fists, she could be said to have won a hundred battles. The only thing she could not take down was Gu Yingjue.
But it did not matter. She had a trump card that specialized in dealing with him.
