When he finished speaking, Gu Xi Jue really wanted to slap himself on the face. He had felt a bit guilty at first at how short she was and at the fact that she had treated his son well, he didn't expect her to not be able to eat, but who knew that he wouldn't be able to control his own mouth?

They muttered for a long time, their voices were not loud, causing the onlookers to not be able to hear what they were saying, but everyone could see Xia Lan winking unhappily, and could also see Gourmet occasionally getting angry but not really getting angry.

Seeing her attitude, Gu Xi Jue thought that she was angry.

After finishing his meal, Gu Xi Jue did not care about the plate, he threw it on the table and stood up, then left.

Xia Lan was looking down on herself as she cleaned up. This was really the life of a born slave, why did he leave her here eating?

Although she was unhappy, she still cleaned up the mess.

In the entire afternoon, Gu Xi Jue did not come out of his office nor did he call Xia Lan.

Alone in his office, he secretly calculated. She was already so poor, yet he was still exploiting her. Wasn't this a bit harsh?

However, as the CEO, her words were as good as gold. There was no reason for her to give back her reward money.

Give her money?

Why, they had nothing to do with each other, why should he give her money to spend?

However, watching her nibble on vegetables every day was truly pitiful. Looking at her pitiful appearance, he didn't know why, but he actually couldn't bear it anymore.

This emotion was also the key to disturbing him. After all, he wasn't a soft-hearted man.

He held back his anger in his heart, but was unable to release it. Throughout the entire afternoon, Gu Xi Jue's face was somewhat gloomy.

During work hours, Gu Xi Jue did not go home, nor did he work overtime. He instructed Luo Song to go fetch Xiao Ze and arranged for him to drink a cup.

After sitting down to this point, Gu Xi Jue didn't say a single word.

Han Ke Yun joked: ”Even if you are rich, you shouldn't drink like that.”

”No?” Gu Xi Jue asked with a dark expression.

”Alright!” You have money, you have willfulness. ” Han Ke Yun surrendered.

However, he still asked in a gossipy tone, ”Do you have something on your mind? Tell me about it.”

”It's nothing.” Gu Xi Jue said in a muffled voice. Actually, he had something to ask, but he just did not know how to ask.

Han Ke Yun secretly cursed in his heart, and asked with a good temper: ”Nothing much, just something? ”Tell me about it.”

Han Ke Yun had known Gu Xi Jue for many years and had long familiarized himself with his coquettish look.

”You're still giving money to a woman so calmly?” Gu Xi Jue asked straightforwardly.

Han Ke Yun spat out the wine in his mouth. He did not care about the look of disdain on Gu Xi Jue's face, and asked anxiously: ”You have a woman?”

”No!” My subordinate, she seems to be in a bit of a difficult situation. ” Gu Xi Jue's brows knitted, his ability to conceal his feelings was the strongest.

Han Ke Yun was a little suspicious: ”Your subordinate? Is there a need for you to be so attentive? ”

Gu Xi Jue scoffed, with all his heart? Would he care about a woman like Xia Lan?
