Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 558: Bragging Too Much

You Lifen felt a bit excited, did Dad also think Yu Zheng was a potential stock?

As long as Dad didn’t object, she was confident she could make Yu Zheng devoted to her.

Yu Zheng saw the smile on You Zhaonian’s face, acting as if it was really the first time they met, almost making him forget that just half a month ago, You Zhaonian had approached him, saying that he, a mere assistant, was not worthy of his daughter and that he shouldn’t waste You Lifen’s future.

You Zhaonian was arrogant and utilitarian, that was the impression he left on Yu Zheng.

He didn’t feel ashamed, he had some good feelings towards You Lifen, but it hadn’t reached the point where he couldn’t live without her. If her father firmly opposed, he thought there was no need to continue.

It was better to end it before they even started, before their feelings deepened.

He began to avoid her, but this little girl always had endless courage, no matter how cold he was, she would still appear in front of him with a smile.

Yu Zheng’s feelings for her grew into pity, she was really so foolish that it made him feel guilty.

You Zhaonian’s smile made Yu Zheng feel disgusted. He had seen all kinds of people in the business world, but it was You Zhaonian who particularly got under his skin, even making him lose his usual calmness.

He said, "Mr. You, you must be joking. Although the You family isn’t a noble family, it still has a place in Yan City. How dare I, a mere assistant, look down on your family’s daughter."

You Zhaonian stiffened, a shadow crossed his face, "Assistant Yu is young and promising, indeed has some demeanor of President Gu." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

You Lifen pulled Yu Zheng’s clothes, "Yu Zheng, how can you talk to my dad like that? He doesn’t mean any harm to you."

Yu Zheng ignored You Lifen and continued, "The You family has power and influence. Mr. You knows his own mind. Lifei, don’t come looking for me anymore."

You Lifen was anxious, "Yu Zheng, you’re being too rude to my dad!" It was rare for her dad to appreciate him, why did he have to embarrass her dad?

Could it be that he really had no feelings for her, so he was too lazy to act in front of her dad?

You Lifen felt both anxious and wronged, she had once fought for Yu Zheng in front of her father, saying he was the best man. Now, with him talking to her dad like this, wasn’t she just slapping herself in the face?

You Zhaonian wasn’t too angry, he said to his daughter, "Lifei, is this the man you insist on marrying? Dad is very disappointed in you. You have some talent in acting, but when it comes to judging people, you should listen to Dad."

You Lifen’s face burned hotly, she wanted to salvage her dad’s impression of Yu Zheng, "Dad, Yu Zheng doesn’t normally speak like this. He’s in a bad mood today, didn’t handle his words well. Dad, please don’t take it to heart."

She pinched Yu Zheng hard behind his back, hoping he would quickly regain some image, at least for their future.

Yu Zheng didn’t follow You Lifen’s hint, "I know what I’m saying. Mr. You, if there’s nothing else to say, I will take my leave."

You Lifen watched him walk away, stomping her feet in anger, "Yu Zheng, you useless bastard!"

There was laughter from the crowd, "Yu Zheng wanting to climb up to the You family, what a dream!"

"Isn’t it more like You Lifen was rejected? Look how proactive she is!"

"True, which man could resist a big star being proactive?"

"..."

Yu Zheng left those voices behind, his face cold, clearly in a bad mood.

He walked past a few people and saw Gu Yikun and An Junxi coming towards him.

An Junxi felt a bit awkward, she knew Yu Zheng was a bit cold, now being caught by them in such an embarrassing situation, Yu Zheng certainly wouldn’t feel comfortable.

There was a moment of surprise on Yu Zheng’s face, but he quickly adjusted his mood, "President, Mrs. Gu, I’m heading back to the company."

An Junxi sensibly didn’t mention anything about You Lifen, she said, "I know what happened with my senior at the bar was a misunderstanding. Yu Zheng, as long as it doesn’t affect work, take your time to handle it."

Gu Yikun was very strict with his subordinates, rarely praising anyone. Now he showed a bit of leniency towards Yu Zheng, "Balance your emotions and work well. I trust your ability."

Yu Zheng felt grateful, "I will."

Over there, You Zhaonian was lecturing his daughter, "Lifei, I thought you had an eye for what kind of man? Today, seeing him... Dad is really disappointed. It’s time you grew up a bit, is it worth fighting with Dad for such a man?"

You Lifen couldn’t argue back, she didn’t understand why Yu Zheng acted like this towards her dad. Usually, he was gentle and courteous to other elders, none of whom disliked him.

But when it came to her dad, he would show all his temper.

You Lifen felt very wronged, why couldn’t things go smoothly for her on either side!

You Zhaonian wanted to take the opportunity to make his daughter realize her mistake, to give up on the little assistant. He heard a familiar voice behind him, and looking back, saw Yu Zheng and President Gu standing together.

Seeing President Gu here was really exciting. The arrogance on You Zhaonian’s face turned into a smile, and he approached to greet, "President Gu, Mrs. Gu, it’s such a pleasant surprise to see you here! I’ve tried to schedule a meeting with Secretary Wang many times, but President Gu’s schedule is always too busy. I have a plan I’d like to discuss with you. Could you spare me half an hour..."

Gu Yikun didn’t listen to You Zhaonian’s nonsense, he said, "If Mr. You wants to discuss business, you can make an appointment with Assistant Yu. He will arrange it."

You Zhaonian’s smile gradually stiffened. To ask Yu Zheng to make an appointment for him? Who did Yu Zheng think he was?

Just recently, he had trampled Yu Zheng into the mud, telling him not to think about climbing up to the You family. He was indeed arrogant then, but now... You Zhaonian felt a burst of irritation. Asking Yu Zheng to arrange an appointment, where would his face go?

He tried to struggle a bit more, saying to Gu Yikun, "President Gu, I just need half an hour, it will be quick..."

An Junxi held onto her waist, "Husband, I’m tired."

Gu Yikun immediately said, "If you’re tired, let’s go back to rest. Yu Zheng, handle this." Holding his wife, he was about to leave.

Before leaving, An Junxi said to You Zhaonian, "Mr. You, Yu Zheng is a candidate for our Gu Group’s Greater China Region marketing director, and will be responsible for our core business in China. If you have any business matters, feel free to contact Yu Zheng. If it’s particularly important, Yu Zheng will convey it to my husband."

You Zhaonian’s face turned blue and white. He still cared about his reputation, forcing a smile, he said, "Thank you, Mrs. Gu."

An Junxi turned to look at Yu Zheng, silently cheering him on.

Yu Zheng had mentioned that You Zhaonian had privately arranged to meet with him to oppose his relationship with You Lifen, now acting like a good person, putting Yu Zheng in a difficult position. Truly cunning.

An Junxi looked down on You Zhaonian, not wanting Yu Zheng to suffer such indignity in vain, she couldn’t help but say a few good words for him.

Gu Yikun gently held his wife’s small hand in his palm, looking affectionately at this playful little woman.

What she just said... Xi Xi really could make him laugh every day.

Walking out of the café, Gu Yikun said, "I didn’t know Yu Zheng was about to become the Greater China Region marketing director, my wife is really wise."

An Junxi was improvising a job title, feeling embarrassed, she asked, "There’s no such position?"

Had she exaggerated too much? What should she do now, how could she cover this up?
