C9 Her Relationship with Him Wasn't Simple

When the butler of the Gu family entered the hall, she immediately saw Zhuang Jinyao, who was half-lying on the sofa, frowning. She quickly went forward and asked, "Young Madam, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, I'm just a little tired." Zhuang Jinyao forced a smile. She did not want to trouble anyone, even if the other party was a maid.

But she did not know that because the mask had been removed, her pale little face and bloodless lips were exposed. There was no credibility to her words.

the butler frowned and did not ask again. "Have a good rest, Young Madam. I won't disturb you."

"Okay." Zhuang Jinyao watched the butler leave. When she left Zhuang Jinyao's line of sight, Zhuang Jinyao wanted to get up. But her waist suddenly hurt. She trembled and fell back into the sofa again. Cold sweat appeared on her forehead.

"Sigh!"

Zhuang Jinyao sighed helplessly. She gave up on the idea of getting up. Instead, she lay on the sofa and weakly thought about her thoughts. Ding Qianyu's words this morning had a huge impact on her. No one wanted their past to be so unbearable.

It was just that Ding Qianyu had a special relationship with her and the credibility of the other party's words was not high. That was why she could remain calm now.

What Zhuang Jinyao did not know was that the moment the butler left the hall and returned to her room, she immediately called Gu Hanfei.

In less than half an hour, a low-key but expensive business car stopped at the entrance of the Gu family villa. A man and a woman alighted from the car.

"You are Zhuang Jinyao?"

Just as Zhuang Jinyao's mind was in chaos, a female voice that was not very friendly woke her up. Following the voice, she looked over and suddenly realized that there were two more people in the main hall of the house.

The leader should be the woman who had just spoken. She was dressed in a well-cut ivory white suit, with her hair tied in a simple and elegant bun. She was a beautiful and neat woman. Behind her was a middle-aged woman who was carrying a suitcase. She was dressed in a white doctor's uniform.

Since they could enter the villa without her permission, it seemed that they had a deep relationship with Gu Hanfei.

"I am. May I ask who you are?" Because she could not get up, Zhuang Jinyao could only lie on the sofa and reply.

While Zhuang Jinyao was observing Gong Zitong, Gong Zitong was also observing her. In the end, her gaze landed on the right side of Zhuang Jinyao's scarred face. But her gaze only stopped for a while and she quickly shifted her gaze away.

"I am Mr Gu's secretary. My surname is Gong and this is Doctor Zhao."

"Hello." Zhuang Jinyao nodded her head in greeting. There was a hint of understanding in her eyes. She turned her head slightly and looked at the housekeeper who had appeared at the door at some unknown time.

the butler saw Zhuang Jinyao looking at her and hurriedly walked in. She bowed her head respectfully and said, "Sorry. It was I who called Young Master."

"It's okay." Zhuang Jinyao waved her hand. She knew that the butler was also concerned about her.

"You need to see a doctor if you are sick. Don't play any tricks. Mr Gu is very busy. Don't keep distracting him with these small matters." Gong Zitong's tone sounded like she was being reasonable, but the meaning in her words was not so polite.

Her words made Zhuang Jinyao look at her a few more times. "Secretary Gong's identity is not just Hanfei's secretary, right?"

"What do you mean?" Gong Zitong looked at her fearlessly, and her proud eyes revealed a hint of disdain.

Zhuang Jinyao turned her eyes away. She knew that she had lost in terms of appearance. This was an unavoidable disadvantage. But the deep-rooted arrogance in her personality did not allow her to show it. She only said lightly. "It's nothing. If it was just an ordinary secretary, what you said just now was too stupid. I believe that Hanfei would not have such a stupid person around him."

"You!" Gong Zitong frowned fiercely, and her expression was very ugly.

She knew she had lost her manners, but she heard Gu Hanfei say he had a wife half an hour ago. No matter how powerful she was, she was still a woman and could not control her emotions well. She had been by his side for so many years, but she did not expect that such an unknown woman would suddenly appear beside him.

"Secretary Gong, can you let the doctor diagnose and treat medicinal Young Madams now?" At the instant the atmosphere became tense, the female butler who had been observing the situation suddenly opened her mouth. Her tone was respectful and familiar.

When Gong Zitong heard this, she forced her expression to calm down. She waved to the doctor behind her. "You go over."

Zhuang Jinyao looked at the butler and Gong Zitong's interaction and vaguely understood that Gong Zitong was probably not just a secretary.

"No need." She did not have a check-up in the hospital this morning and it was a good idea to let a doctor diagnose and treat her now. But in front of Gong Zitong, Zhuang Jinyao had some doubts, so she refused, "I just suddenly feel a little uncomfortable. There is no big problem now."

As she spoke, she slowly stood up. Her actions were simple and casual, and her expression was calm and without ripples. But only she knew that such a simple action made her fingertips tremble in pain, and her palms were full of sweat.

Gong Zitong did not expect that she would not cooperate and her delicate face immediately turned unhappy. "My time is limited. Can you not randomly throw a tantrum?"

She had been by Gu Hanfei's side for many years. She was used to seeing all kinds of women playing all kinds of tricks. It was to make Gu Hanfei pay more attention to them. In her eyes, Zhuang Jinyao in front of her was nothing more than this. But compared to those beautiful women, this woman who ruined her appearance really did not know her own limitations.

"I'm sorry. Since the time of the Secretary Gong is precious, then I won't waste much of your time. You can go back." Feeling Gong Zitong's disdainful gaze landing on her right face, Zhuang Jinyao's heart twitched. She lowered her eyes slightly and ordered her to leave.

Gong Zitong was furious. But she really could not do anything to Zhuang Jinyao now. She could only turn around angrily and wanted to take Doctor Zhao away.

She could not be bothered with this kind of woman!

At this moment, the phone in the hall rang.

Zhuang Jinyao casually picked up the phone on the tea table. When she heard the voice over there, she widened her eyes in shock. "Hanfei?"

Hearing her words, Gong Zitong, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped in her tracks. She turned around and stared at Zhuang Jinyao, who was on the sofa with the phone in her hand.

Gu Hanfei should be in a meeting at this point. This was also the reason why he could not leave the company and let her bring the doctor to see Zhuang Jinyao. But now, how could he still have time to call Zhuang Jinyao?

Zhuang Jinyao was completely focused on the phone and did not feel Gong Zitong's gaze. "I'm fine. I don't need to see a doctor."

Gu Hanfei, who was on the other end of the phone, heard her and turned back to look at the meeting room. A group of people in the room were looking at him eagerly. He pretended not to see. He casually leaned against the window and did not feel guilty for suddenly interrupting his subordinate's report. "Stop messing around. Be obedient."

He was used to the cold and hard tone of giving orders from a high position. Now, however, there was a sense of love in his tone.

Zhuang Jinyao was naturally sensitive to it as well. Her white face was dyed red, "I know."

She was not a child. He spoke to her in such a tone that made her feel really embarrassed.
