Chapter 17 Are you just going to stand there?

."Hello."A woman's cold voice came from the phone, sounding somewhat hateful.He gritted his teeth and asked, "What do you mean""The literal meaning," Qiao Ruoxing's voice was soft, "after you sign it,...Everyone looked over. Gu Jingyan coughed for a long time before finally stopping, his face ashen.

Everyone was hesitant to speak, afraid that Mr. Gu might be unhappy with the previous statements.

Gu Jingyan's face darkened, he turned his head and whispered two sentences to Lin Shu in a low voice, then turned back and said lightly, "Continue,"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, while Lin Shu quietly slipped out of the conference room.

The living room is downstairs.

Joanne Star sat on the sofa, idly flipping through the magazines on the table.

Footsteps hurried up behind him, followed by Lin Shu's voice, "Madam, why didn't you call before coming over"

The front desk guy who led the way had dilated pupils!

This must be Mrs. Gu!

Then why did Mr. Gu say he didn't know her!

No, these things don't matter, the problem is that he just took that kind of photo of Mrs. Gu!

The young man's face was ashen. He felt like his career in a Fortune 500 company had come to an end in an instant. How could his wife still play games like this

Qiao Ruoxing put down the magazine, "I called, but Assistant Lin seems too busy to hear."

Lin Shu, of course, knew that Qiao Ruoxing had contacted him. However, with a command from General Gu, he was forbidden to respond, so he could only feign ignorance.

Feigning not to hear the sarcasm in Qiao Ruoxing's words, Lin Shu followed her lead and said, "I'm really sorry, I was just in a meeting and left my phone in the office. It's also my fault that I didn't explain clearly when I left. The receptionist who handled the calls is new, so there are bound to be some oversights. I apologize for the inconvenience, madam. Please."

This person spoke so convincingly, she would have believed it if Gu Jingyan hadn't just said with his own mouth that he didn't know her.

rats and snakes in the same nest!

As the two stepped out of the elevator, Lin Shu finally asked, "Is there anything the Mrs. needs to do at the company"

Qiao Ruo Xing picked up the bag in her hand, “I have something to ask Gu Jing Yan to give to his mother.”

Lin Shu said, "Is that all"

The gifts are gone, but there's still a wedding to be had, and I want Gu Jingyan to leave for a while. This has to be said to his face, so I said, "There's one more thing I'd like to discuss with Mr. Gu."

Lin Shu said, "Mr. Gu hasn't had breakfast yet."

JoJo Star

What does this have to do with anything

Seeing the confusion in her eyes, Lin Shu added, "If Mr. Gu doesn't eat breakfast, he tends to have a worse temper in the morning, and it's easier for negotiations to break down at this time."

Qiao Xing: …

Have you heard of morning grumpiness, but not breakfast grumpiness What kind of bad habits are these

Does your company cafeteria provide meals

Mr. Gu is very particular about his taste and never eats in the cafeteria.

This is what Qiao Ruo Xing believes.

Gu Jingyan's mouth is notoriously picky. He doesn't like anything too salty, sweet, sour, or spicy; if he finds even a tiny bit of skin in his fried eggplant, he won't even touch it. He needs vegetables stir-fried just right - not too light, and not too old; he never eats leftovers, claiming they always give him diarrhea. He pretends to hate cilantro but insists on having it in his noodle soup, then picks out every little bit of cilantro afterward...

She sometimes couldn't help but complain, luckily Gu Jingyan was able to reincarnate. If he were born into an ordinary family, he would probably have been beaten to death before he grew up!

Thinking about this, Qiao Ruo Xing said, “There are several upscale restaurants downstairs in your building. Why don't you go buy him a meal”

Lin Shu smiled, "Mr. Gu doesn't like those fancy dishes. He prefers home-cooked meals, like the lunchbox Mr. Gu brought before, he really liked it."

This is a pretty clear hint, they won't even talk about things unless she eats. It's just another way to control her.

She had made bento for Gu Jingyan more than a year ago.

When she first married into the Gu family, her heart and eyes were full of Gu Jingyan. Back then, she hadn't started voice acting yet, and all her time revolved around Gu Jingyan.

Perhaps she had watched too many brain-dead dramas, believing the saying "To capture a man's heart, first capture his stomach," so she diligently practiced her cooking skills hoping to attract Gu Jingyan's attention. However, she was simply not gifted in the kitchen. After a month of practice, the dishes she made were barely edible.

Even so, she was still enthusiastic about making lunch for Gu Jingyan.

She still remembered the most satisfying work she had taken out, when she let Gu Jingyan taste it, he only commented on two words "disgusting".

She was not giving up. The next day, she made lunch again and shoved it into Gu Jingyan's hands while he was at work. She even shamelessly assured him, "This time, it will definitely be delicious."

Gu Jingyan was too lazy to pay attention to her. She was anxious all day, and when Gu Jingyan came back in the evening, she couldn't wait to ask him, "Is it any better today than yesterday"

Gu Jingyan gave her a curt reply of five words, "Disgusting, don't make it anymore."

Although she said that, the lunch box was empty. This made her secretly delighted, so she worked even harder. Every time Gu Jingyan came back, he also always brought an empty lunch box.

She naively thought their marriage was a perfect fit, and that he had feelings for her, until she saw him dump the entire lunchbox into the trash.

It turns out that it was all her wishful thinking. He didn't point it out, just to save face for both of them.

After that, she never cooked again, and Gu Jingyan did not ask.

Perhaps it suits him just fine, after all, pretending to finish everything every day is quite tiring.

She came to discuss divorce, but he asked Lin Shu to bring it up, humiliating her

She made an excuse to get out of it, "Isn't this putting me in a difficult position Let me finish what I'm doing and come back. He's also off work now. Where am I supposed to find him"

Knowing that the company cafeteria had a private kitchen equipped with all kinds of ingredients, Lin Shu quickly replied, "Madam, feel free to use whatever you need in the private kitchen at the company cafeteria."

Jo Ruoxing :“……”

It was all planned out, waiting for her to take the bait.

But now, she has no choice but to go along with it, otherwise, this scoundrel Gu Jingyan will ignore her again, and the divorce issue will never end.

A few minutes later, Lin Shu brought her to a private kitchen.

This place is much bigger than she expected, and it's very clean. Inside, there are all the ingredients you could need.

Qiao Xing was anxious about the divorce and didn't have the heart to cook. She didn't even know what to make. She stared at the ingredients for a long time, and suddenly had an idea.

More than twenty minutes, one meat and one vegetarian dish, it looked pretty good. She untied her apron and turned to Lin Shu, "Assistant Lin, lead the way."

Gu Jingyan's office was on the twelfth floor. Lin Shu knocked on the door and said in a low voice, "Mr. Gu, your wife brought you lunch."

Qiao Ruo Xing: "..."

Wasn't this something he made her do

From within came Gu Jingyan's cold voice, "Let her in."

Lin Shu led her in, put the things on the desk, and then went out, even "considerately" helping them close the door.

Qiao Ruo Xing clutched her hand, standing awkwardly in place.

Gu Jingyan's office was very large and decorated in a minimalist style. There was a whole wall of floor-to-ceiling windows, which provided particularly good lighting.

Sunlight streamed through the blinds and cast dappled shadows on his face across the desk.

Whether it's the sword-like eyebrows and phoenix eyes, or the resolute jawline and thin lips, this face, which fits her aesthetic point perfectly, no matter how many times she looks at it, she still can't help but feel a flutter in her heart.

"Are you just going to stand there"first."After all, he had helped her, Qiao Ruoxing couldn't refuse his kindness. She whispered, "Thank you."Mo Mingxuan smiled. "It's no trouble at all."As soon as they got in the car, Mo Mingxuan rumm...
