The Mystical Biological Mother Returns, the Villainous Sons Stand Up Straight – Chapter 10

Ch 10: Don’t You Want Your Life Anymore?

As soon as Gu Qingyin came out, Bai Jiali, who had been watching her, greeted her with a polite smile, saying, “Miss Gu, are you leaving? I’ll see you out.”

Gu Qingyin stood still, thoughtfully sizing her up.

“Which ear did you hear me say I was leaving? Are you trying to drive me away for Huo Xingye? Are the powers of Huo Corporation’s secretaries so great? Do you even manage the boss? Seeing how skilled you are, this shouldn’t be the first time, right? Does Huo Xingye know you’re overstepping your bounds like this?”

Bai Jiali panicked, “No, I didn’t, don’t talk nonsense. I just saw you come out and assumed you were leaving, so I just asked casually.” Saying this, she felt justified again and retorted, “If you’re not leaving, what did you come out for?”

“To get something to eat. Where’s the pantry?” Gu Qingyin asked very naturally, as if she wasn’t the one who had just been arguing.

Bai Jiali had anger in her heart but didn’t dare to unleash it, coldly pointing in a direction.

Gu Qingyin glanced at her one last time before leaving, advising, “Usually, take some time to listen to EQ （Emotional Quotient） classes.”

Bai Jiali was stunned for a second, then her face flushed red. Her EQ wasn’t low at all! Standing there, she took two deep breaths, forcing herself to calm down.

She had to admit that Gu Qingyin was different from the previous women. Spoiled, sharp-tongued, and difficult to deal with, she needed to change her strategy.

Thinking, she turned around and went back to her workstation, not noticing the other secretaries and assistants secretly exchanging glances. The White Lotus was about to start acting out an upper-level palace intrigue again. There was a good show to watch.

Anyone could guess that the pantry on the floor where President Huo Corporation was located wouldn’t be bad, but when she actually went inside, its luxury still made Gu Qingyin “wow.”

Because of her work, she had been to many companies, big and small, but not a single pantry could compare to the one in front of her.

Coffee machine, dessert rack, imported snack area, beverage area, self-heating hot pot rice, all kinds of things. Although it wasn’t anything she couldn’t afford, the thought of it being free to eat made it feel especially good.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, Huo Corporation’s employees are too happy.

After wandering around, Gu Qingyin took a piece of cake, heated up a glass of milk, and carried the things back to the office.

Without saying a word, she put the things on Huo Xingye’s desk one by one and started staring at him.

Huo Xingye: “I’ll eat it in a bit.”

Gu Qingyin nodded, very understandingly saying, “It’s okay, you go ahead and work, I’ll just look around.” After saying that, she continued to stare at him.

Huo Xingye felt a lot of pressure, resignedly sighed, put the document in his hand aside, ate the small cake in a few bites, and then drank half a glass of milk in one gulp.

The fishy smell of the milk rushed to his head, and Huo Xingye couldn’t help but frown, “I can’t drink anymore.”

Gu Qingyin raised an eyebrow, “Although milk is hard to drink, it’s nutritious. Be good, like drinking tonic, finish it.”

Huo Xingye: …

He held his breath and drank the rest of the milk, then quickly picked up the cup next to him to rinse his mouth.

After finally washing away the fishy taste in his mouth, he vaguely felt like he had lost some kind of freedom.

Motherly love, as expected, wasn’t that simple.

After eating, Huo Xingye continued to work, and Gu Qingyin also contentedly returned to her position, spread out the yellow paper, and planned to draw two talismans.

By the time the two of them were done, it was almost twelve thirty.

Gu Qingyin was a little speechless. Fortunately, Huo Xingye had eaten something earlier, otherwise, he would have been starving.

“Let’s go, let’s go eat!”

As soon as the mother and son opened the door and went out, Bai Jiali, who had been waiting at her workstation for half a day, quickly got up and walked towards the elevator entrance without looking back.

When Huo Xingye stood next to her, she turned her head in surprise and smiled, “President Huo hasn’t eaten yet either? How about we eat together? I heard a new seafood stall opened downstairs, the taste is very good.”

Huo Xingye didn’t have any objections, turned his head and asked, “Do you want to eat seafood?”

“Sure.” Gu Qingyin said with a smile, “But I don’t like peeling shells, so I’ll leave it to you.”

Huo Xingye naturally “Mm”ed.

Although he had never served anyone like this before, Gu Qingyin wasn’t just anyone, serving her was what he should do.

Bai Jiali had a smile on her face, but she was screaming in her heart, how dare this b*tch! Huo Xingye actually agreed! Was he bewitched?!

As soon as this thought came out, Bai Jiali’s heart skipped a beat. It was just venting and complaining in her heart, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case.

Otherwise, how could Huo Xingye’s sudden abnormality be explained? There was no way to explain it!

“Secretary Bai?”

Bai Jiali came back to her senses and found that Huo Xingye and Gu Qingyin had already entered the elevator. She quickly walked in, apologizing, “I’m sorry, I was distracted.” After saying that, she turned to face the elevator door, her eyes becoming firm. She must expose Gu Qingyin’s true face and save President Huo from the fire!

Huo Corporation’s cafeteria occupies the entire first and second floors, with all kinds of cuisines available. The chefs who cook the dishes are all chefs poached from big restaurants, and the dishes they make are full of color, aroma, and taste. It is one of Huo Corporation’s signature features.

Many college graduates come to Huo Corporation to apply for jobs because of the cafeteria.

Even so, Huo Xingye rarely ate in the cafeteria.

Therefore, Huo Xingye became the focus of everyone’s attention as soon as he entered the cafeteria. However, most people didn’t dare to look openly, they could only secretly glance out of the corner of their eyes, while guessing in their hearts, why did President Huo suddenly come down to earth today.

Take two glances, take two more glances… They all knew Secretary Bai, who was that unfamiliar beauty? What was her relationship with President Huo?

Wow! President Huo is helping someone get food, President Huo is helping someone peel shrimp? President Huo is also helping someone take apart crabs?!

The news that Huo Xingye and a suspected girlfriend were eating and showing affection in the cafeteria spread to every company group before the lunch break was over, even the executive group wasn’t spared.

Bai Jiali felt dizzy with anger after reading it, and directly took leave in the afternoon and left.

Gu Qingyin, who was unaware of this, returned to the office, took a nap in Huo Xingye’s exclusive lounge, and then went out and found that the whole world had changed.

The secretary ladies, who were still very aloof in the morning, suddenly became exceptionally enthusiastic, making her a little overwhelmed.

She held her afternoon tea, politely declined the fifth lady’s fruit offering, and quickly opened the door and returned to the office, walking to the table and asking suspiciously, “Did something happen in the company at noon?”

Huo Xingye asked, “What are you referring to?”

Gu Qingyin looked at his clear and confused eyes and waved her hand, “Never mind, you go ahead and work.” After sitting down, she took out her phone and sent a message to Xue Ning: Pull me into the company’s gossip group.

Xue Ning, who was on a business trip far away, was confused, but did as she asked.

After pulling her in, he casually looked at the group messages.

When he saw them saying that a person suspected to be President Huo’s girlfriend had appeared, he was shocked and expectant, but also a little confused. Shouldn’t he be the first to know if Huo Xingye had a girlfriend?

Then, looking up and seeing the photo of Gu Qingyin and Huo Xingye eating together, Xue Ning was about to explode.

What was going on, who started the rumor first! Don’t you want your life anymore!
