Chapter 8 The First Favorite Son

  By eight o'clock in the evening, Wang Yuyan had already urged the butler several times. "Butler, what is the master busy with inside?"

  The housekeeper also understood the situation and wouldn't speak the truth, so Wang Yuyan furrowed her brow: "If the master really doesn't have time to see me, then I'll withdraw first, there are still things I need to attend to. Why don't you go in and report again, and see what the master thinks."

  The housekeeper stepped down and walked into the study.

  "Can't wait any longer?" Gu Shaocheng's mouth corner flashed a cold smile: "Then later can't... forget it, let her go back first." For the time being, he didn't want to get rid of her, keeping her for his own use.

  Guo Shao's face remained calm and expressionless, but his heart felt a chill run down his spine.

  Wang Yuanyuan, this subordinate who was very fond of herself, was actually privately colluding with the enemy a few days ago. Fortunately, it was discovered in time, otherwise... humph!

  Wang Yuanyuan walked down from the two-level stairs, and the wind in the courtyard was strong. Tonight's typhoon might be even more fierce. A gust of wind blew over, but it didn't cool her down after being locked out of the study for five hours. She gritted her teeth, not daring to be presumptuous in this inner courtyard, but a hint of ruthless determination flashed through her mind.

  A new girl who moved directly into the inner courtyard!

  She let out a faint hum, the jealous and sour taste in her heart hard to swallow.

  Gu Shaocheng took Ye Chenxing's materials in his hand and examined them carefully. Bai Er's work efficiency had always been high, and Ye Chenxing's family background and other information had long been placed on his desk.

  "Five years ago, your parents were in a car accident. I heard you still have grandparents, so why did your guardian become your aunt?"

  Ye Chen Xing looked up at the man in front of her with a hint of awe, she had slept for a while and woke up to find this person still there, it wasn't just a dream, at this moment she was in an unfamiliar place being questioned by an unfamiliar him.

  This should be a study, not luxurious, with thick woolen carpets on the floor, and some valuable ancient paintings and calligraphy on the walls. On one side, there is a couch with half-finished Go game, showing the host's taste.

  "My parents had a company, and at that time my aunt was very good to me. She said I could live with her, and the company would let my uncle help take care of it." Ye Chenxuan withdrew his gaze, biting his lip as his voice gradually lowered: "At that time, I really thought my aunt was being kind to me."

  It wasn't until later that she realized how naive she was. Her aunt cared about her father's company, but her uncle was not good at managing it, and the company went bankrupt in less than a year. From then on, her days at her aunt's house became particularly difficult. Her aunt treated her as a free servant, ordering her around.

  Even her relatives are like this, let alone people she doesn't know at all. So at this moment, she also dare not harbor any illusions, looking at Gu Shaocheng with a hint of vigilance in her heart.

  Gu Shaocheng glanced at her and seemed to guess what she was thinking: "Don't worry, there's nothing on you that I'd be interested in taking."

  After saying that, he didn't look at her again and continued to slowly flip through the documents in his hand.

  "Who are you?" Chen Xing's heart was racing with anxiety, unsure of who this man was that had suddenly burst in and saved her.

  Gu Shao's tall and lean body was lounging lazily on the soft couch, his legs crossed naturally over each other, giving off an oppressive and intimidating aura even when simply sitting there.
