Xiaowang couldn’t bear to watch Qin Zhi’ai cleaning up the mess in front of Liang Doukou, only to be trampled further when she was already injured, but he knew that Liang Doukou would target her even more if he continued to defend her. Clenching his teeth silently, he walked toward Qin Zhi’ai while explaining, “I am cleaning up to spare you and Old Master Gu this inconvenience but, if you’re okay with it, then certainly Secretary Qin can clean up this mess.”
When Liang Doukou and Old Master Gu weren’t watching them, Xiaowang silently mouthed “I’m sorry” to Qin Zhi’ai when he handed the rags and mop to her, motioning for her to hurry.
Qin Zhi’ai knew that Xiaowang had her best interests in mind, so with her elbow and knee cap throbbing, she hobbled to the table, squatted down, and began cleaning.

Liang Doukou glared down at Qin Zhi’ai with piercing eyes.
Does she think she’ll just clean this up and that’s it? Not going to happen…
On the day of that team-building event, I waited forever for Gu Yusheng to return and he didn’t.
Making it worse, I was locked in that room for 24 hours with no electricity, no food, and no hot water!
I will never forget how Gu Yusheng had already left on a business trip by the time I was rescued—with Xiaowang and Qin Zhi’ai!historical
I will never forget this. I will make sure neither Gu Yusheng nor she get away with anything!
Viciousness flashed across Liang Doukou’s face, while her lips gradually curled into a faint smile and she looked at Old Master Gu. “Grandpa,” she called out abruptly, as if she suddenly recalled something. “I forgot to tell you that Secretary Qin is currently a student at South University. She’s interning here at Hui Shi.”
Xiaowang’s heart began to race.
She’s screwed. It’s all over! Truly over!
Even he had been surprised when Gu Yusheng had decided to use a student as his secretary, so it was not a surprise that this caught Old Master Gu’s attention.

The fact that he had offered to help Qin Zhi’ai with the mess from the moment he came into the room was also now standing out as suspicious.
Vicious. This is really vicious!
As cautious as he had been dealing with Liang Doukou, she was having the last laugh.
Upon hearing Liang Doukou’s words, Old Master Gu’s expression darkened, and Liang Doukou continued to exaggerate. “Secretary Qin, I know your background. You must have excelled in school if you can already assume the position of a chairman’s secretary in your first internship. If not, why would Gu Yusheng choose you to be his secretary?”
After pausing, she continued, “I think I’ve heard that out of the seven interns who interviewed for your position, one of them was a student from the States with two Ph.D.s. I thought for sure he was the frontrunner.”
“Enough!” Old Master Gu broke his silence and thundered, “Xiaokou, are you aware of something that I am not?”
Qin Zhi’ai tightened her grip around the rag she was holding.
Old Master Gu obviously had been influenced by Liang Doukou’s tirade and was now suspicious of Qin Zhi’ai’s relationship with Gu Yusheng.
