Chapter 281: Chapter 254 My Wife...
Originally, seeing Gu Yanjing, the entire translation department was stunned.
They thought he was here to deal with Qiao Yuxian.
Everyone’s hearts were in their throats.
But then... they saw Gu Yanjing and Qiao Yuxian, and Qiao Yuxian...
What are they doing?
What do they mean?
Why is Mr. Gu’s hand on Qiao Yuxian’s nape?
Why are Mr. Gu and Qiao Yuxian standing so close?
Why do they look so familiar with each other?
Why do they seem so intimate?
What’s going on now?
Why didn’t anyone tell them, why is no one explaining?
The entire office was still in a daze.
Xu Qingqing and Lin You were pale.
Zhao Meng quietly stepped back a few steps, moving farther away from the two.
Gu Yanjing looked into Qiao Yuxian’s eyes, after a moment released her and asked, "Did someone bully you?"
The office had no reaction, group by group, like pits in a terracotta army excavation.
Yet... each one stretched their ears, carefully listening to what the two were saying.
Qiao Yuxian took a slight step to open up some distance between them, standing beside him and said, "It’s nothing serious, how did you find out?"
After she spoke, she looked towards Su Qi.
Su Qi’s face turned ghostly pale, ever since he saw Mr. Gu heading towards the translation department, along with the prayerful looks from Wan Ying, he had figured it out, and his face turned white.
He was already prepared to face the music.
Seeing her look over, Su Qi immediately shook his head, signaling with his eyes to let her know it wasn’t his doing.
Seeing how the esteemed Special Assistant Su was so deferential to Qiao Yuxian, everyone had a clue.
Qiao Yuxian saw his expression and it didn’t seem like he had exposed her.
So she looked at Wan Ying.
When Wan Ying realized she was looking over, he immediately shifted his gaze, tugged at his clothes, dusted off his sleeves, and looked at the ceiling.
This series of actions...
Qiao Yuxian immediately locked on to him.
The guilt she felt from hitting him last night dropped from ninety percent to thirty percent in an instant.
Qiao Yuxian kept looking at him, and when he looked her way, she gave him a look that said "just you wait."
Wan Ying was truly very sorry.
Su Qi also looked at Wan Ying and gave him a "you’re finished" look.
Wan Ying dared not make a sound, dared not speak, waiting to pay for his loose lips.
Gu Yanjing turned her head away from Wan Ying to face him, "Where are they? In the office?"
Qiao Yuxian looked at him, paused, and said, "Mm."
Gu Yanjing glanced at Su Qi.
Su Qi’s complexion was deathly white, heart racing, but his mind was clear, and he immediately went to the office.
Qiao Yuxian watched Su Qi leave, then looked at Gu Yanjing, saying, "I can handle it myself."
Gu Yanjing looked at her without speaking.
Qiao Yuxian met his gaze for a moment, then secretly extended her hand, hooked his finger, and shook it lightly.
She thought this action was covert, but everyone at the desks on the other side all saw it.
Everyone widened their eyes, watching their hands.
Gu Yanjing clasped her hand in return, "Mm."
Qiao Yuxian smiled, then withdrew her hand from his.
Gu Yanjing clenched his now empty hand, "......."
Su Qi quickly gathered Luo Yin Ning, Qian Huai, An Zhiyi, He Xin, the manager from the medical machinery department, and Nole from the office.
He didn’t explain the situation, just said Mr. Gu was outside wanting to see them.
They all hurried out.
Once they stepped out of the office, seeing a crowd outside like a drill, they were all startled.
Qiao Yuxian made a small move to the side to let them pass.
Luo Yin Ning and the others immediately approached.
"President Gu."
"Mr. Gu."
...
Gu Yanjing nodded, acknowledging them.
Then he looked directly at Nole.
Nole had only met Gu Yanjing once three years ago, and hadn’t seen him in a long time. He stepped forward, extending his injured hand, preparing to shake hands, "Mr. Gu, long time no see."
Gu Yanjing looked at his hand and then at him, "What happened to your hand?"
Nole saw he didn’t intend to shake his hand, awkwardly retracted it, putting it in his pocket. Unhappy, his tone wasn’t very good, "Mr. Gu, you should ask your company’s employee about that."
"What happened with my company’s employee?" Gu Yanjing’s voice was somewhat gentle.
His presence was already cold, and with that light voice, it made everyone present internally uneasy.
As if something invisible was pressing down on them.
Nole naturally felt it too, but he believed he had done everything perfectly, thinking he was in the right, so he dared to be arrogant.
He glanced in Qiao Yuxian’s direction, then looked back at Gu Yanjing, "That Qiao Yuxian, last night at the hotel, insisted on getting into my bed. Despite my repeated refusals, she kept pestering. As a result, I got injured and couldn’t work. I hope your company gives me an explanation."
Gu Yanjing looked at him, his cold eyes glaciating inch by inch, "What’s your proof?"
Apart from those who had just come out of the office.
Everyone else listening to Gu Yanjing’s voice had already started mentally digging holes for Nole, ready to bury him.
"I have a witness." Nole looked at An Zhiyi, "In the office just now, he said he saw it with his own eyes last night."
Gu Yanjing looked at An Zhiyi.
An Zhiyi met his eyes, couldn’t withstand his presence, immediately lowered his gaze, and took a step forward, "Mr. Gu."
Gu Yanjing looked at him, "You saw it last night?"
"Yes." An Zhiyi, hearing Gu Yanjing’s icy voice, was secretly pleased. Believing Gu Yanjing was angry because of the trouble Qiao Yuxian had caused. Since Mr. Gu came personally to handle it, he surely would squash Qiao Yuxian flat.
To avenge last night’s humiliation.
An Zhiyi lowered his gaze and said, "I personally saw Qiao Yuxian being pushed out of the room by Nole last night. After being pushed out, she kept pestering and wouldn’t leave. And it was the middle of the night, dressed revealingly, making her intentions obvious."
Listening to his words, a shadow passed over Gu Yanjing’s eyes.
The minister from the medical machinery department, hearing that Gu Yanjing had come, had been continuously sweating, standing on the side, unable to take in anything, just kept wiping his sweat.
Luo Yin Ning and Qian Huai were also nervously sweating in their palms, especially as Gu Yanjing’s presence grew colder and stronger.
It was like they weren’t standing in an office but in an execution ground.
A blade suspended above their necks, ready to execute at any moment.
But after An Zhiyi finished speaking, Luo Yin Ning still stood out bravely, her voice trembling uncontrollably, "Mr. Gu, actually, things are not fully concluded. Last night, everyone drank a bit of alcohol, maybe..."
"Minister Luo means I’m defaming her?" Nole interrupted her, "I came all the way here to defame a young girl? What for?"
Luo Yin Ning fell silent. She was only concerned that if Qiao Yuxian were innocent, she shouldn’t ruin a young girl’s life, so she spoke up.
But as a client of the company, she couldn’t afford to offend Nole.
Even if she wanted to help, she didn’t have the capability.
Moreover, since Qiao Yuxian couldn’t produce any evidence, she wasn’t sure of the truth herself.
Gu Yanjing looked at Luo Yin Ning, then at Nole, speaking softly, "I’m not interested in what you’re after. But which part of you, from head to toe, is worth my wife’s attention?"
