Chapter 245: Misunderstanding
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
However, the secretary MO Li was undeniably skilled, capable of making people mistake her for Gu Zi upon first glance. Privately, she must have put in considerable effort.
A bit later, their young master staggered into the office, reeking of alcohol, which suggested that he hadn’t returned home the previous night.
Before he could ask anything, MO Li, who had been behaving herself for the past few days, walked up to him and started discussing work.
In recent days, MO Li had been obedient and diligent. She now approached the young master, discussing work matters with him. She was always eager to learn and asked the young master various questions, effectively winning his favor. Given her role as a secretary, it seemed quite ordinary.
However, Uncle Yang began to feel that something was amiss. While it might be acceptable for MO Li to emulate Gu Zi’s beauty by imitating her makeup and attire, he couldn’t ignore the fact that MO Li had imitated Gu Zi’s voice while talking to the young master.
Uncle Yang wasn’t aware of MO Li’s familiarity with Gu Zi, but since Gu Zi used to work as a radio announcer, it wouldn’t be difficult for MO Li, in her capacity as the young master’s secretary, to obtain some of Gu Zi’s previous voice recordings from the radio station.
What puzzled Uncle Yang was MO Li’s reason for imitating Gu Zi in such a manner. It seemed like MO Li was aware that the young master would get drunk today.
This girl seems a little scheming, Uncle Yang realized.
However, Uncle Yang remembered the Young Master’s rejection of Miss Gu Zi and felt that he should not do anything to get drunk. He still had work to do later, so it was more important to buy him some hangover medicine and a change of clothes. He went out.
However, Uncle Yang remembered the young master’s aversion to Miss Gu Zi, so he didn’t believe that the young master would engage in any drunken misconduct. Uncle Yang still had errands to run, as he needed to buy hangover remedies and a change of clothes for the young master. Thus, he left.
Upon his return, as he opened the door, he witnessed a shocking sight: MO Li, disheveled, was descending from the young master’s lap. At that moment, Lin Miao had come to deliver some snacks.
Lin Miao, upon seeing this scene, dropped the snack box with a “clatter” and immediately ran out in tears.
Blushing, MO Li turned to the young master and apologized, “I’m sorry, you’ve been misunderstood again.” Then, she chased after Lin Miao.
Uncle Yang’s face turned crimson. Was this a misunderstanding or not?
MO Li had not only imitated Gu Zits appearance but also her voice. Uncle Yang believed that MO Li had intentionally let someone witness this scene. Did the young master share this perspective?
The young master had always had a peculiar way of thinking, and Uncle Yang dared not inquire further. In any case, the young master was currently occupied with official business. He was urgently summoned home by the chief, who reprimanded him for his debauchery and the damage it had done to the Gong family’s reputation.
It was the first time Uncle Yang had seen the Bureau Chief so angry at his only son. He had beaten him with a dozen military batons. The military batons were long and thick. An ordinary person might not be able to withstand one hit. It was obvious that the Bureau Chief was really angry.
Uncle Yang said, “Young Master, I can go to Miss Lin’s place this afternoon and try to resolve the situation on your behalf. The Gong family also needs to provide an explanation to the Gu family.”
Gong Zhan furrowed his brows upon hearing this. He had developed a strong aversion to Lin Miao’s involvement in this matter. Nevertheless, he realized that he was being blackmailed, and he couldn’t afford to let it damage the Gong family’s reputation.
After a moment of contemplation, he said, “Buy some gifts and visit her. Tell her that the Gong family will provide an explanation. To save face for both families, we shouldn’t let this matter spread any further.”
Uncle Yang agreed and, after applying the medicine, left with the medicine bowl.
Upon entering the living room, Uncle Yang noticed that the husband and wife were still in a standoff, discussing Gong Zhan’s marriage.
He could not help but go forward to persuade them. “Sir, Madam, now is not the time for family to be angry. It’s better to start planning the next step.” After Uncle Yang finished speaking, Gong Xin sent him out.
Uncle Yang was more than just a hired driver to the Gong Family. He had been loyal to the Gong Family for decades, and Gong Xin had long regarded him as a respected elder.
When Gong Xin entered the house again, his parents had stopped fighting and were discussing Gong Zhan’s marriage.
Mrs. Chen said, “That girl MO Li is so calculating. Lin Miao is too naive. How could she trust someone like that?”
The Gong family desired a straightforward daughter-in-law. Someone as scheming as MO Li clearly didn’t fit the bill.
Gong Xin could sense from her mother’s words that she was leaning towards Lin Miao.
At this moment, she heard Mr. Gong say, “Let’s swiftly arrange Gong Zhan’s marriage to Lin Miao. We should make the engagement ceremony lively to discourage any lingering hopes from others.”
While Gong Xin also disliked scheming individuals, she couldn’t help but think that Lin Miao had brought this upon herself.
Sarcastically, she remarked, “Fine, Lin Miao got lucky. What a lucky girl.” His parents responded to her sarcastic comment with stern glances, their eyes
filled with disapproval..
