Chapter 117: Ex-Wife and Mistress

a glass of water in the living room outside suddenly walked over. Then, right at the kitchen doorway, bathed in the fading evening light, he stared intently at her through the rising steam.What kind o...: []

The female protagonist immediately drew the attention of many people in the company as soon as she entered.

And when she walked in through the door, they were all whispering about her, a stark contrast to the usual starstruck reception. This time, there was a palpable air of anticipation, almost as if everyone was waiting to see what would happen next.

Ms. Gu, you're right, this female lead is the long-lost Gu Xia who has disappeared for days.

Hearing these discussions, she was naturally both angry and resentful, even digging her fingernails deep into her palms!

But, what's the point

Now the Ho family, everyone knows about that woman's existence. They know she is the man's ex-wife and they also know that the young master who has always lacked a mother was born to this woman.

So, if she wants to secure her position as the CEO's fiancée, the only way is to continue maintaining her elegance and exude the aura of a future Mrs. CEO.

"Ms. Gu, good morning...good morning..."

"Good morning."

Gu Xia released her fingers and watched as a company employee hurried past the elevator entrance, clutching files in their arms. She nodded politely at them with a very gentle demeanor.

That staff member immediately revealed a look of astonishment, nervously following the future chairman's wife into the elevator. Her hands were sweating so badly from nervousness.

"Are you from the Business Department"

"Yes... yes..."

"Seeing you carrying so many things, isn't it because Wen Xuxu, the new recruit, hasn't come yet Things have become much busier all of a sudden" She suddenly smiled and brought this up.

The staff member was taken aback, probably because it came as such a sudden surprise. For a moment, she couldn't remember who "Wen Xixi" was

It took her a while to come to her senses. In an instant, she stared at this future chairperson’s wife with even more nervousness!

"Well...it's not really that. Actually, she..."

"If you're busy, then have your deputy general manager apply for someone at the HR department. When Wen Xuxu first came here, it was because she didn't have anything to do, so we placed her in the company. However, she wasn't very good at the job later on, so we didn't keep her. We can just recruit someone new instead, so as not to delay your work."

Gu Xia still looked at the staff member with a smile, she didn't put on airs of being the future Mrs. President.

Even when talking about the arrangement that had sent Wen Xuxu to the Business Department back then, perhaps seeing the hardship this employee was currently facing, a trace of self-blame even appeared on her delicate and beautiful face.

The staff member was immediately shocked.

My goodness!

Originally, the woman who went to their department was arranged by the future chairperson's wife. No wonder that after just one day, she caused chaos in their business department and then disappeared.

So that's why!

It seems that the former wife is no match for the mistress. She comes and goes at will, what right does she have to challenge the mistress

The staff member finally understood, her eyes lit up, and as soon as the elevator arrived, she ran out quickly.

...and she didn't know that this was the reason she went out.

The woman left in the elevator, however, immediately drew a sly smile at the corner of her mouth.

Wen Xuxu, you want to fight me

Now, I'm going to make it clear to everyone here who the real mistress of this house is!

She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

A few minutes later, the elevator finally arrived at the CEO's office.

Miss Gu is here.

"Good morning, Miss Gu."

"Gu Jie—"

It was only a matter of minutes, and sure enough, these people's attitudes had completely changed. They started being respectful towards her again.

Gu Xia didn't pay much attention, just smiled faintly, and then went into the CEO's office.

"Si jue, I'm here. It's time for us to say goodbye."

"What did you say Goodbye"

At his desk, Huo Sijue was busy working. At first, when he saw the woman enter, he didn't intend to acknowledge her.

He was completely absorbed in his work. Even when Gusha had walked up to his desk, her scorching and affectionate gaze fixed upon him, he didn't react at all.

Until, Gu Xia suddenly said this.

"What does it mean"

"...."

Looking at the man's handsome brow finally furrowed, for a moment she suddenly wanted to change her mind and tell him that she was only joking with him.

But soon, her mind was filled with what her aunt had said.

Besides, when she came up just now, although the situation wasn't a complete loss yet, it had already had a considerable impact on her.

Finally, she still put on the look that he liked best - knowing when to be humble.

"Well, remember how I told you I submitted a manuscript to an overseas magazine They contacted me recently and asked for a detailed discussion, saying they want to sign a contract."

"Is that so"

Hearing this, Huo Sijue's face softened considerably.

He really liked those things about her.

Her words, her aura, ten years like one day buried under that white magnolia tree. I don't know how she persevered back then. After finally escaping that terrible hell, she had actually collected a whole box.

"If that's the case, then you can give it a try. Shall I help you book the tickets" He was even starting to proactively help her book plane tickets. It had been so long, this was the first time ever.

Gus was so excited that he could hardly contain himself.ing. And after our investigation of that building, we discovered...discovered that Miss Wen lives there!""What did you say Wen Xuxu"As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the living roo...
