Bai Dong returned to the Chu family residence in a good mood.
Gu Na came out of the guest room. Ever since she was able to stay in the Chu family residence, she rarely went out. She focused on coaxing Auntie.
“Auntie, have some fruit.” Gu Na personally cut the fruits.
Bai Dong was tired after a long day of walking around. She sat on the sofa as Gu Na massaged her shoulders.
“Auntie, Li An’an must have asked you for a lot of money. She’s the kind of woman who would do anything for money. You must not give it to her.”
Bai Dong looked a little awkward. She didn’t know where to start. Initially, she wanted to settle the score with Li An’an, but after interacting with her for a while, she realized that Li An’an didn’t seem to be a materialistic woman. She wasn’t wearing any branded clothes, and her attitude was neither servile nor overbearing. She looked quite comfortable to get along with, so strangely enough, they went shopping together. Seeing that Li An’an didn’t dare speak up even though she was clearly tired pleased her somewhat.
Gu Na continued, “I also heard that while at work in the office, she’s willful and reckless. She went into the meeting room to seduce Brother Yichen while he was in a meeting. Also, for the sake of protecting her, Brother Yichen has issued a document at work to warn that no one is allowed to talk about her father being a murderer. Brother Yichen is now so charmed by her that he can no longer focus on his work. If this were to continue, it may endanger the company. Furthermore, he may start to be disrespectful towards you.” Bai Dong gently pushed Gu Na’s hand away.
“How do you know what’s happening in the office? Don’t you have to work yourself?”
“I…” Gu Na’s voice was hesitant. Bess had told her all this, and they had already colluded. If she could marry Chu Yichen, she would accept Bess as Brother Yichen’s lover, and the two of them would deal with Li An’an together.
Bai Dong patted Gu Na’s hand. “I believe Yichen is not that kind of person. Give him some time. Trust him. He will realize how good you are.”
Bai Dong didn’t actually have the confidence to say these words. Before she met Li An, she thought that Li An’an was a scheming woman with a vixen-like face who liked to curry favor with others. After seeing her, she changed her mind.
In comparison, Gu Na, who came from a good family background and was highly educated, seemed a little petty. Bai Dong was inevitably disappointed. Most importantly, her son did not like her. “Also, don’t go to the office to ask about these trivial matters in the future. It will interfere with Yichen’s work.’
Although she didn’t know who told Gu Na these things, she hoped that there wouldn’t be a next time. The company was a workplace, not a place for scheming and gossiping.
“I understand, Auntie.” Gu Na gnashed her teeth in anger. Auntie wouldn’t be biased towards Li An’an, right? She had gone to see Li An’an today, but she hadn’t said anything negative about that woman.
“Auntie, what do you think of Li An’an?” she asked.
Bai Dong picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. “Nothing out of the ordinary. I can’t tell much from our short time together, but she recommended some local skincare products to me. I bought quite a lot. Take some of these to try. Oh right, there’s also lipstick. The color looks beautiful on her. Yichen probably likes these colors. Take a box of these too.”
Gu Na was shocked. “Auntie, you’re someone with status! You’re actually using local products? What is Li An’an trying to do? What if these products ruin your face?”
Bai Dong touched her own face and was stunned for a moment. “That’s true. Come to think of it, I did feel feverish earlier on. It makes sense now that I think about it.”
When Gu Na saw that Bai Dong had been convinced, she said, “Of course.
Auntie, your face is so well-maintained. Nothing must ruin it.”
Bai Dong added, “Then I’ll use it on my hands first. If there’s no problem, I’ll try it on my face.”
Gu Na gritted her teeth.. How could this be? What kind of magic did Li An’an have?
