Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 498: The Rich Lady Really Knows How to Play
An Junxi drank a glass of water, feeling slightly relieved, and said, "I feel so aggrieved in the Gu Family, do you know that?"
"Difficult mothers-in-law and troublemaking sisters-in-law are everywhere in China. Does everyone need to solve this by divorcing? Jun Xi, aren’t you smart enough? Such little problems are nothing for you, right?"
An Junxi looked disdainfully at her senior, "You’re a teacher in the education industry, can’t you be a little more refined?"
Gong Xiaoyu was very indifferent, "We’re among ourselves. I’ll speak more directly. Do you think marrying into a wealthy family is that easy? Other rich ladies may appear glamorous, but behind the scenes, their husbands cheat, they don’t see them from the beginning to the end of the month, and some even endure domestic violence. Yet, they still put on a smile and keep going. What are your little problems compared to that?"
"Gu Yikun is truly devoted to you, and just that alone makes many women envy you to death. What else are you unsatisfied with? When your relationship is good, don’t let it cool too long. Once it’s really gone, I wonder how you’ll cry about it. Don’t forget, the women outside eyeing your husband can fill the whole Pacific Ocean."
An Junxi had no mood to work, "Aren’t you supposed to encourage me to focus on work and live a colorful life? Why are you making me sound like a resentful woman afraid of being abandoned by her husband!" That was not cool at all.
Gong Xiaoyu calmly analyzed, "Do powerful women need no marriage? That’s a huge misconception. You’re not like me. I never planned to start a family, but you’re already a mother. You can’t just say the family is over. Consider the weight of your family."
An Junxi felt extremely frustrated, "I know, I understand, but I just can’t stand it. Do you understand that? He suspects I have an ambiguous relationship with another man. Isn’t that trampling on my dignity?"
"Give him a hard time for a month or two. Let’s be honest, he cares too much about you... okay, his concern is a bit twisted. But aside from that, what other faults does he have that you can’t tolerate?"
An Junxi couldn’t answer. Apart from issues with You Ran, he was accommodating in other areas.
Even when Gu Qianlan got burned and was lying in the hospital, despite her parents accusing her, he still stood firmly in front of her.
Gong Xiaoyu noticed the cracks in An Junxi’s armor, "You can’t find any other flaws in him, can you? Don’t sentence him based on one incident. President Gu has been pretty good to you."
An Junxi said, "I’m going to work. I don’t want to talk about these depressing topics."
She was determined to achieve something in her career and couldn’t afford to be distracted.
Gong Xiaoyu shook her head, having said all she needed to, leaving the rest for Jun Xi to consider.
Returning to her seat, An Junxi admitted her senior’s words had some truth to them.
Beside her, only her senior would say these things to her.
She shook her head, deciding not to worry about it anymore, taking things as they come. It’s impossible for her to return to the Gu Family now; she hasn’t calmed down yet.
She checked the course images again. Listening courses require high-quality images, as they lack text. The images must be straightforward, allowing children to easily understand their meaning, so they can use native thinking to learn a new language.
She picked out the problematic areas and passed them to the IT department for game development to improve.
Lin Yuanqing sneaked over, "Jun Xi, have you seen the news?"
An Junxi, with limited time at the company and afternoons spent at home with her kids, focused on maximizing work efficiency and didn’t have time for news.
"No, what’s the big news?"
Lin Yuanqing said, "There’s big news with He’s Jewelry. Miss He, that is Mrs. Yin, who just married Young Master Yin, is allegedly desperate enough to date two hunks simultaneously! Tsk tsk tsk, wealthy ladies really know how to play... Oh, I’m just talking about her, not you."
An Junxi opened her computer, and there were indeed pictures with clear evidence.
The images were pixelated, but those familiar with He Sirui could instantly recognize that she was He Sirui.
Netizens were condemning He Sirui for her facade of propriety while being morally corrupt. Some even speculated, "Is Young Master Yin incapable, unable to satisfy his own wife?"
Yin Feibai was unfairly implicated, causing an online uproar from girls lamenting over Young Master Yin. His handsome charm, unable to perform, was considered a sheer waste!
Others were discussing the physique of the two hunks, claiming Mrs. Yin’s wealth ensured high-quality escorts.
The comments were varied and vibrant. An Junxi couldn’t bear to read anymore, closing the webpage, "What did He Sirui do to deserve this?"
Just after saying that, an idea flashed in her mind, linking to Gu Yikun.
Gu Yikun seemed like the kind of person who could do this. He had a nickname, the Cold and Arrogant Devil.
He Sirui had Chen Ming kidnap Gu Qianlan. That alone was enough motivation for Gu Yikun.
The company was abuzz discussing He Sirui’s scandal, but An Junxi dared not join in, fearing it might involve her husband. How should she respond?
Gong Xiaoyu came out, seeing everyone gossiping, "Is gossip included in your salary? Why not stop and hold a gossip conference?"
Colleagues quickly returned to work, focused and unperturbed.
Gong Xiaoyu said to An Junxi, "Come in for a bit."
An Junxi handed her teaching materials to Lin Yuanqing, "Please send these to Gu’s later."
Si Yuan was developing new online courses, but their current IT couldn’t support the demand. Establishing a new department would be too costly. Gong Xiaoyu and Yu Zheng had decided to let the IT team at Gu’s Headquarters handle part of Si Yuan Education’s technical support.
Sheltering under the big tree was advantageous. Utilizing Gu’s resources well was free; this was Gong Xiaoyu’s principle.
Following her senior into the office, "Boss Gong, what’s up?"
Gong Xiaoyu asked, "Do you have time this afternoon?"
"I have no other plans, just going home to see the kids."
Gong Xiaoyu said, "Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu invited me for tea. They’ve invited many times; I really can’t refuse. Junxi, can you come along?"
Having broken up with Yu Zheng, meeting his parents felt very awkward.
"Are they still hopeful for you two? Trying to persuade you to reconcile?"
Gong Xiaoyu forced a smile, "That’s exactly it. I’ve made it clear the engagement is off, but Aunt Yu is still unwilling."
An Junxi didn’t know the current status between Yu Zheng and You Lifen. Despite Yu Zheng admitting he liked You Lifen, "Yu Zheng and You Lifen... they..."
Gong Xiaoyu interrupted, "I saw Yu Zheng a few days ago for work. He and You Lifen haven’t made any progress."
"Why?"
"He needs time. Yu Zheng is very serious about relationships. We’ve just broken up, so it’s unclear when he’ll accept You Lifen." Even if the relationship was very plain.
Gong Xiaoyu always felt that she owed Yu Zheng, that she inadvertently hurt Yu Zheng.
