96 Chapter 96 : Mrs. Xing’s first bad image in public 2 (2/2)

She doesn't have any hope in Hongqi anymore. He might even get mad at her that she lose her cool in public and has tainted the image of Mrs. Xing.

She doesn't care though. She doesn't care about the perfect image of Mrs. Xing anymore. It'll make her crazy if she keeps being nice to people who bully her in public.

She may be quiet all the time but if she's pushed to use her sharp tongue, she'll really do it and will have no mercy.

But what should she do to Ling Jenny? That woman obviously wanted to lose her job by offending her. She's not that petty to let that woman lose her job but she should put a little mischief to her. Childish, maybe, but that woman was connected to Gong Yuming.

Xiulan's not that dumb. She connected the dots and she guessed that Gong Yuming might be brewing something. She doesn't get why Gong Yuming has to put a lot of effort in bullying her.

”Was it because of an unhealthy obsession? She needs mental help if ever.” Xiulan mumbles silently.

Xiulan was still contemplating hard while she stares at her laptop when her phone suddenly rang. It was an alarm and reminded her that it's time to go home.

She remembered that she must rest longer from now on, self-care. She's feeling dizzy lately because of stress and fatigue. She doesn't want to be hospitalized again so she must do something with her health and unhealthy lifestyle, specifically unhealthy sleeping habits.

She turned off her laptop and took her bag. She checked one last time if she left anything important out of the open before she leaves her office.

The guard outside was surprised to see her going home early. For a moment he wanted to say something but he immediately shut his mouth and smiled to the female boss. He bid her good bye and he went inside the office to do his rounds.

When everything was silent and no one was around, he pulled out his phone and dialed Hongqi's number.

”What?” Hongqi's baritone and intimidating voice can be heard.

”Young Master, the madam just left the building. She shut herself inside her office for quite a long time. Though she looks tired but she was still the last one the leave. She's really hardworking.” The security guard reported.

”I see. Do you see anything suspicious in her expression?” Hongqi probed. He actually bribed the security guard to report to him every night what was happening in Xiulan's office. He find it helpful especially in today's situation.

Hongqi's bodyguards reported to him that Gong Yuming appeared in front of the madam today. Nothing extreme happened but they are sure there was an indescribable tension. He also saw the CCTV footage of the two women's encounter. He can't believe that Gong Yuming would directly visit Xiulan during her working hours just to say something. He doesn't know what it was but he was sure that witch might lie to his wife.

Now he's contemplating what kind of punishment he will do to Gong Yuming. It's not that he was afraid of a lawsuit if ever he unexpectedly fires her. It's just that the image of his showbiz company never had this kind of case or bad PR. It's inevitable that this will leak. It'll be troublesome since he's very sensitive when it comes to image.

For some reason, his father's words stuck in his very core. ”Don't let your marriage or your wife or any woman to interfere in your business. It'll just bring you down. You are aware of Helen of Troy in the Trojan War, right? That's the best example.”

He definitely agrees to what his father said. He actually experienced his first downfall with Zhao Lingyu. He doesn't want that to happen again. He's not sure if Xiulan would be like that in his life but for now, he will be on standby and monitor what will happen.

”Madam's expression… she seems to be really tired. That's all I can see.” The security guard pities the young female director. She was always working, busy and had to take care of her husband when she gets home. He's sure that she doesn't have enough rest ever since she got married. ”Just a piece of advice, young master. If madam says she's tired, please listen to her.” It may sound rude and off that he's advising or scolding his boss but it's for their own good.

Hongqi was speechless for a while. He didn't find it rude but he actually thought that this security guard was courageous enough to give him a word. ”Thanks. I'll keep that in mind.” He ended the call and slipped his phone back in his pocket.

He stared at the CCTV footages on his laptop. No one knows what he was thinking but there was an obvious disturbance in them.
