Chapter 6 : Gu Xiaonan's True Identity
- The woman was wearing a floral dress, with straight jade legs and a graceful figure. The most striking thing was her face, even more beautiful than a celebrity, exuding an indescribable nobility.
- "Honey, they didn't mention the room number at the KTV, so I had a hard time finding it."
- The person who arrived was Gu Xiaonan. Ye Ming was also stunned when he saw her. He didn't expect her to look so elegant with just a little bit of dressing up.
- "Sorry for keeping you all waiting." Gu Xiaonan sat down next to Ye Ming with a faint smile.
- Niudahai suddenly realized something when he saw her appearance and felt a sense of familiarity.
- Zhou Long, Ye Jiaming, and Xu Hao felt a bit awkward and quickly shifted their gaze elsewhere, but they couldn't help but sneak a glance from time to time.
- Li Cui pursed her lips and felt extremely jealous. She snorted, turned her head to the side, and muttered, "Even if she's beautiful, she's still just a woman for sale."
- "Ye Ming, your wife is really beautiful." Ye Jiaming smiled and said, "Since we're all here, let's sing."
- "I'll go, I'll go." Li Cui took the microphone and chose a song.
- "Let me tell you, Li Cui used to be our school's top singer. No one can compare to her in singing." Zhou Long flattered from the side.
- Li Cui raised her head arrogantly and glanced at Gu Xiaonan provocatively.
- With the accompaniment, she started singing, and it was quite good, with a touch of charm.
- Zhou Long looked at Gu Xiaonan with a half-smile and said, "Hello, you're Gu Xiaonan, right? I heard that you used to work at a bar. You should be good at singing, right? Why don't you sing a song too?"
- The corners of Gu Xiaonan's mouth slightly curved up. "Sorry, I didn't work at a bar. Maybe you heard it wrong. As for singing, sure, I'll go pick a song."
- Xu Hao and Zhou Long exchanged glances and smirked. They wanted to see Ye Ming's family make a fool of themselves.
- So what if she's beautiful? Isn't she just someone who sells herself? They still looked down on her deep in their hearts.
- After Li Cui finished singing, if Gu Xiaonan sang next, it might still be acceptable. But if she couldn't compare to Li Cui, she would undoubtedly be ridiculed.
- However, Gu Xiaonan didn't back down. Following the melody, she started singing.
- "Wait, did you guys forget to turn off the original singer?" Zhou Long said from the side.
- "I'll go turn it off." Ye Jiaming stood up and went to the song selection screen, but he was slightly stunned.
- "What's going on?" Niudahai shouted.
- "The original singer is turned off." Ye Jiaming responded.
- Everyone was stunned. It meant that the voice they were hearing now was Gu Xiaonan's?
- "Oh my, she sings so well." Niudahai murmured.
- Ye Ming was also surprised. He didn't expect her singing skills to be so good. She could definitely become a singer.
- After the song ended, Li Cui felt embarrassed and wanted to find a hole to hide in.
- Gu Xiaonan sat down next to Ye Ming and asked with a smile, "Honey, did you like it?"
- Ye Ming looked at her stunning appearance and almost got lost in it. He nodded awkwardly, "It was good."
- Gu Xiaonan took a sip of her drink and looked at Niudahai, saying lightly, "You said I was a hostess before?"
- Niudahai was taken aback. He didn't expect her to mention this matter so openly. He was about to speak, but Gu Xiaonan continued, "We've met in the city before, right? Take a closer look at who I am."
- Niudahai looked carefully and suddenly turned pale, almost kneeling down.
- "Gu... Gu General Manager?!" Niudahai finally understood why she looked so familiar. It turned out that he had seen her before.
- A month ago, he accompanied their company's general manager to negotiate cooperation with Yunyang Group, and Gu Xiaonan was present.
- At that time, he was amazed that the deputy general manager of Yunyang Group was so beautiful. Today, he didn't recognize her because she changed her clothes.
- The people around were puzzled when they heard Niudahai's exclamation, not understanding what was going on.
- "General Manager Gu, I... I didn't mean it that way. I... I just heard those people outside talking nonsense. I didn't expect it was you."
- Niudahai hurriedly explained, but he was so nervous that he couldn't speak coherently.
- "No need to explain. I heard everything you said. You insulted my husband, saying he was useless, and called me an escort girl. So this is the quality of Ninghai Media's employees. Let's cancel our cooperation." Gu Xiaonan said calmly.
- Niudahai felt deflated, like a punctured balloon, and slumped on the sofa.
- He could have relied on this cooperation to get a promotion and a raise, but now because of him, he probably wouldn't even have a chance to stay at Ninghai Media.
- "Honey, I'm tired. Let's go home." Gu Xiaonan looked at Ye Ming and said gently.
- Ye Ming was stunned, and then quickly nodded.
- "Okay... okay..."
- At this moment, his heart was also in turmoil.
- The vice general manager of Yunyang Group? Gu Xiaonan had such an identity. She was not just an escort girl, but a high-level executive of the group.
- The things he had bragged about in front of his parents had actually come true.
- The two left the KTV, and only then did Niudahai suddenly react and rushed to Ye Jiaming, throwing a punch at him.
- "Ye Jiaming, you've screwed me over. If it weren't for you making me come to see Ye Ming's joke, I wouldn't have lost my job. Damn it, I'll kill you today!" Niudahai was furious and vented all his anger on Ye Jiaming.
- Xu Ming and the others quickly went up to pull him away, and the scene became chaotic for a while.
- Ye Ming went outside and saw that Gu Xiaonan was driving a Maserati. He was even more certain of her identity.
- "What are you looking at? Get in the car and let's go to your house." Gu Xiaonan said.
- "Oh, okay." Ye Ming reacted and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. After all, the difference in status between the two was too great.
- Back at Ye's house, Ye Kang and Qiu Fen were already waiting at the door. When they saw their son and daughter-in-law return, they couldn't stop smiling.
- A table full of dishes was already prepared in the house, and everyone sat down at the table.
- "Xiaonan, you're so thin, eat more." Qiu Fen kept putting food into Gu Xiaonan's bowl.
- Gu Xiaonan always had a faint smile on her face and showed special respect to Qiu Fen, giving Ye Ming face.
- Qiu Fen and Ye Kang finally believed what Ye Ming had said before.
- After dinner, Qiu Fen took Ye Ming aside and whispered, "Xiaoming, since Xiaonan is such a good girl, when will you two have a banquet in our Ye family village? I want to give you both some face."
- Ye Ming scratched his head. Given the current situation, Gu Xiaonan would definitely not agree.
- The reason they had a simple ceremony at Gu's house was to avoid more people knowing about it. After all, they were just acting, and the more people who knew, the more trouble it would cause.
- But he didn't want to disappoint Qiu Fen, so he patted his chest and said, "Mom, don't worry, it's a small matter. We'll have a banquet soon. We don't have much money now, but I'll earn more when I go to the city with Xiaonan."
- Qiu Fen's face brightened when she heard this, but then she thought of something and sighed, "Xiaoming, when you go to the city, work hard. Xiaonan has a different identity. Don't cause her any trouble. As for your grandmother's matter... let it go."
- Ye Ming fell silent. How could he let go of this matter?
- But he would bury it in his heart and not let his parents worry.
- "Mom, don't worry, I won't do anything stupid."
- Qiu Fen nodded in relief.
- After dinner, Gu Xiaonan and Ye Ming planned to stay here for the night.
- Qiu Fen naturally tidied up Ye Ming's room properly, with red bedding and blankets, which looked very festive.
- As the door closed, Gu Xiaonan's face, which had just been filled with a smile, suddenly turned cold.
- "This is your home, you sleep on the bed, I'll sleep on the floor," she said.
- "You're a woman, how can I let you sleep on the floor? You sleep on the bed, I'll sleep on the floor, don't worry, my parents won't peek," Ye Ming said, already spreading two blankets on the floor.
- Seeing that the other party was so considerate, Gu Xiaonan's guard lowered a bit.
- "Your parents are really nice."
- "Of course, my parents are known for their kindness in the village."
- "What about your grandmother?"
- Ye Ming remained silent for a moment, then spoke, "My grandmother passed away at Tianhe Hospital due to a misdiagnosis."
- Gu Xiaonan frowned, "Doesn't the hospital take responsibility?"
- "Responsibility?" Ye Ming coldly smiled, "In front of the powerful, what are we, ordinary people?"
- Gu Xiaonan was slightly taken aback, she suddenly felt that Ye Ming was different, those eyes seemed to see through everything.
- Ye Ming himself probably didn't know that the aura he unintentionally emitted made Gu Xiaonan's heart tremble.
- "Forget about that, one day I will prove myself and make those who deserve retribution pay with their own blood."
- He lay down on the floor and closed his eyes.
- Gu Xiaonan couldn't express her feelings either, and soon fell asleep.
- Shortly after falling asleep, she suddenly felt something furry on her right hand. She raised her head and saw that a mouse had crawled onto the bed.
- She screamed in fright, waking up Ye Ming.
- "What happened?" He quickly turned on the light and found Gu Xiaonan cowering in the corner.
- The startled mouse had already disappeared.
- "There... there's a mouse..." Gu Xiaonan stammered, feeling disgusted at the thought that she had touched the mouse with her hand earlier.
- Ye Ming didn't expect that Gu Xiaonan, who had always been strong-willed, would be afraid of such a thing, and couldn't help but smile faintly.
- "It's the countryside, mice are inevitable."
- "But it crawled onto me." Gu Xiaonan quickly said.
- "Alright, you sleep, I'll watch over you and try to catch that mouse. Don't worry, with me here, the mouse won't come near you," Ye Ming said.
- Gu Xiaonan hesitated for a moment, shook her head, and said, "No, I don't trust it."
- "Then what do you want me to do?" Ye Ming was speechless.
- "You come up on the bed, you sleep outside," Gu Xiaonan said.
- Ye Ming was stunned, looking at Gu Xiaonan's thin nightgown and the faint glimpse of her underwear, his mind started to wander...
