C8 A Single Stone Can Cause a Thousand Ripples

Gu Yuling did not expect that Sheng Jingxun had already asked the secretary to prepare a set of clothes in the changing room. She simply cleaned the stains on her body before coming out.

"Thank you, Director Sheng. Then I will go back to work." Gu Yuling lowered her head and did not dare to look at him. When she heard the man say yes, she turned around and left.

When she returned to design department, she received the gazes of everyone.

She suppressed the unhappiness in her heart and pretended not to see it. She walked towards her workplace and did not need to listen to her to know what these people were talking about.

But she did not care what other people thought.

"Yuling," just as she sat down, the expected voice sounded above her head. "What did Director Sheng say to you? Why did you go for so long?"

At first, her tone was full of concern and care. In fact, Gu Ranjia's face had already twisted because of jealousy.

Gu Yuling did not even bother to raise her eyelids, "What does it have to do with you?"

Suddenly choked by her, Gu Ranjia's tone had some hidden anger, "I am your elder sister, of course I have to care about your matters! Where did you get this set of clothes from?"

A stone raised thousands of waves.

The office that was still silent just now instantly became lively. A few people even pulled on Gu Yuling's clothes a few times and said in a strange tone, "I remember that you did not wear this one just now."

"You changed into a set of clothes in such a short time? You really know people's faces but don't know their hearts. Why don't you just move your desk to Director Sheng's office?"

Gu Yuling calmly accepted the grilling gazes of the people around her. Suddenly, a sharp mocking smile appeared on her lips, "Gu Ranjia, have you had enough?"

"Locking me at home and not letting me go to work is not enough. Now, you still want to use public opinion to force me to leave. Meeting a sister like you, am I lucky or unlucky?"

She suddenly stood up and stared at the gorgeously dressed woman in front of her without any fear on her face.

She did not expect that she would be like this. Gu Ranjia was a little surprised and the mocking words that she had thought of were stuck in her throat. She looked at Gu Yuling in a daze.

"I am going to work. If you bunch of blabbermouths continue to chatter by my ear... When that time comes, it will not be my fault to be blamed by Director Sheng." After she spoke coldly, she sat down with her back facing the crowd. She put the headphones into her ears.

She did not need to look back. She also wanted to see Gu Ranjia's current expression.

It must be as ugly as eating a fly.

Gu Yuling's brows relaxed. After taking a deep breath, she shifted all her attention to the document in front of her. She needed to use strength to prove herself.

She did not come to Glory World to fight with Gu Ranjia in a battle of wits and courage.

How dare she treat me like this?

Gu Ranjia was puzzled and her anger almost overwhelmed her brain, so she did not notice that her nails were embedded in her flesh.

Concentrating on work made the day pass by quickly. Very soon, it was time to get off work, but Gu Yuling did not move at all.

She wanted to fight to the end with this design blueprint.

She kept feeling that something was not right, but she could not say it. It seemed that she had to work overtime today.

Gu Yuling sighed quietly and looked around. In a short two minutes, there was no one else in the office other than her.

Glory World's employees were really enthusiastic when they got off work. She stretched and got up to make herself a cup of coffee.

"It's already time to get off work. Why aren't you leaving?" A mellow voice sounded behind her. Gu Yuling was lost in thought and was shocked. She slipped and sat on the floor. The coffee spilled all over her body.

This series of actions was really too coherent. Sheng Jingxun was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and a smile appeared on his face.

"Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine!" Gu Yuling ignored Sheng Jingxun's extended hand. Even though she was in pain and grimaced in pain, she still forced herself to stand up.

However, when she exerted her strength, there was a sharp pain at her ankle.

"Ah!" Along with a scream, Gu Yuling once again lay on the ground like a pitiful animal.

At this moment, she wished she could dig a hole and hide in it. In a short day, she had already been embarrassed twice in front of Sheng Jingxun, and her beautiful image had gone bankrupt!

"Eh?"

Just as she was blushing, she was suddenly carried up by someone. She immediately cried out in surprise, and when she looked up, she bumped into Sheng Jingxun's line of sight.

There was a trace of interest in his eyes. He walked out of the building without saying anything. He put Gu Yuling in the back seat of Maybach and carefully took a tissue for her to wipe the coffee stains on her body.

Gu Yuling was shocked by Sheng Jingxun's considerate actions and froze in the back seat. Gu Yuling held the tissue and was at a loss.

The scent of wood on Sheng Jingxun's body lingered on the tip of her nose. The man's embrace was warmer than imagined and did not match his usual cold and hard appearance.

"Director Sheng, I can go home by myself. I will not trouble you today..." Gu Yuling said and struggled to get off the car.

"You sprained your ankle. How do you want to go back?" Sheng Jingxun glanced at her indifferently. Gu Yuling immediately shivered. "Since you were scared by me, I have to take responsibility."

"Go home." He said to the driver.

"Responsibility?" Gu Yuling repeated the word and looked at him in surprise. "It was just that I was careless. I don't need to trouble Director Sheng. Besides, it's too late. I want to go home."

"Don't move."

Outside the window, there was still a trace of afterglow of the setting sun. Seeing the night gradually sinking, Gu Yuling inexplicably felt a little uneasy.

The car started and just like the master's firm attitude, Gu Yuling saw that there was no response and also calmed down. She rubbed her ankle and firmly bit her lower lip, not willing to let out a cry of pain.

The place Sheng Jingxun lived at was called Xiao Xian Residences. It was a high-end villa area. When his Maybach slowly drove into the door, the night had already completely covered the surroundings.

He did not avoid carrying Gu Yuling out of the car. Under the surprised gazes of the servants, Gu Yuling's face kept burning. She simply buried her head into Sheng Jingxun's arms.

"Did I see wrong? Young Master actually brought a woman back?"

"He even carried her along the way, so tender. Looks like there is no suspense anymore. Tsk tsk tsk, it really wasn't easy!"

The servants all sighed. Otherwise, with Sheng Jingxun's character of not getting close to women, they even suspected that there was a problem with his sexual orientation!

"Wait a moment. The doctor will be here soon." Sheng Jingxun carefully placed Gu Yuling on the bed, as if he was holding some fragile treasure.

Gu Yuling grinned and thanked him in a low voice again. The more thoughtful Sheng Jingxun was, the more embarrassed she felt.

They all knew what happened that night. Sheng Jingxun even calmly asked her to make a request, but Gu Yuling did not want Sheng Jingxun to take care of her because of that matter.

Thinking about this, "Director Sheng, I think I should leave. This is not good."

As she spoke, she struggled to get off the bed. The pain in her ankle made her exclaim. She gritted her teeth and held the edge of the bed to prevent herself from falling.

Looking at her stubborn little face, Sheng Jingxun's eyes flashed with an indescribable emotion.
