Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 126

Chapter 126 Will He Kill Xia Manyin?
Dealing with the mess was indeed very important, but compared with having lunch with Du Xiaoxian, he could only put the former aside. In Gu Nianbin’s heart, there was nothing more important than Du Xiaoxian’s eating and growing her body. He had always believed that Du Xiaoxian was still young, and that she was still growing her body. As long as she was well nourished, she could grow fatter.

When the food was delivered, he went out in a bathrobe and pushed the serving-cart directly into the room.

Du Xiaoxian wrapped in a blanket and sat on the bed. Seeing him come in, she was ready to jump out of the bed. “Wait,” he said, seemingly in a blaming tone, “don’t get down. I said we’ll eat in bed.”

Du Xiaoxian then sat still obediently, watching him push the serving-cart to beside the bed and lift the lid to reveal the delicate dishes underneath. There weren’t any delicacies or luxurious food. Gu Nianbin knew that Du Xiaoxian didn’t like those, so he specially ordered the appetizing dishes and rice. The three dishes and one soup, as well as the fragrant rice, immediately provoked Du Xiaoxian’s appetite. After Gu Nianbin set the small dining table in front of her and set the dishes, Du Xiaoxian couldn’t wait to pick the dishes with chopsticks and put it into her mouth. Then she remembered that she should wait for Gu Nianbin to eat with her, she put down the chopsticks with an embarrassed smile.

Gu Nianbin usually ate very little when having meals with Du Xiaoxian and spent most of his time feeding his little girl. But today, he was really hungry. He got himself a full bowl of rice and said, “Why did you put down your chopsticks? Just eat.”

“I’ll wait for you.” The little girl’s crisp voice carried a trace of fawning.

Gu Nianbin couldn’t help laughing. He pushed her hair to behind her ear and said, “Alright, let’s eat together.”

The two of them sat cross-legged opposite each other, and the bright sunlight came in through the large window that was half closed with the curtains, filling the room with brilliance. The two of them ate their “brunch” quietly and warmly in the sunny morning.

Du Xiaoxian occasionally glanced out of the window. The sky was high and the earth was far away. The white clouds were floating and the sun shone brightly, causing her lips to unconsciously hook up slightly.

“Brother, if you don’t go to work today, I won’t go to school either. Why don’t we go shopping?”

Gu Nianbin smiled and said, “As long as you like that.” Pausing for a moment, he asked, “Where do you want to go?”

“Anywhere,” said the little girl cheerfully. “It’s very comfortable to walk outside in this weather!”

Gu Nianbin glanced at her and said, “I thought you’re happy because you’ll go shopping with me.”

“Of course I’m happy because I’ll go with you.” After Du Xiaoxian finished her meal, she scooped up a bowl of soup for Gu Nianbin and another bowl for herself. She said, “It’s the happiest to be with you.”

Gu Nianbin smiled, picked up the soup and drank it up in a few mouths. He then went to the bathroom to call Ling Yun. As long as Du Xiaoxian wanted to do something, he would always agree without hesitation.

However, going shopping now was indeed troublesome. Although the videos and photos on the Internet had been deleted, there were already people who had read the news before. Shao Boqing said that Du Xiaoxian was now a person hated by everyone. He couldn’t put her in danger.

Gu Nianbin rarely asked for help. Ling Yun was also present last night. When Gu Nianbin asked for his help, he didn’t even say the usual jokes and agreed.

By the time Shao Boqing heard the news, Gu Nianbin had already taken Du Xiaoxian to walk around in the busy streets. Shao Boqing was so angry that he almost jumped up and down. He was mad at Zhou Ting, “You went to deliver their clothes, but why didn’t you stop them? Is it proper for Du Xiaoxian to show up in public now? She would be drowned even by people’s talking. Gu Nianbin usually has a bright brain, but why does he become stupid now? He has lost his mind, but have you lost yours too?”

Zhou Ting lowered her head and remained silent. Looking at the little girl’s joyful appearance, she didn’t even dare to mention the matter. Later on, when she finally mentioned it, Du Xiaoxian didn’t seem to understand, and her boss immediately glared at her. His gaze was like a knife that shone with a cold light. She was so scared that she didn’t dare to speak again.

“Boss Shao, the boss is not someone who doesn’t know where the bottom line is. Xiaoxian is the apple in his palm. He definitely won’t let her get hurt in the slightest.” When Shao Boqing’s roar stopped, Zhou Ting finally spoke.

Shao Boqing calmed down. No matter how much they cared about Du Xiaoxian, how could they be compared with Gu Nianbin? He was the one who always guarded Du Xiaoxian!

Shao Boqing sighed and said, “How are things going in the PR department?”

“Don’t worry,” Zhou Ting said, “Manager Chen is experienced in this field. He has experience in dealing with such matters. The rumors didn’t mention much about the boss and Gu Group, so it should be easy to distance us from the rumors.”

“That’s good.” Shao Boqing finally let out a sigh of relief and called Ling Yun to ask him how things were going on his side.

Ling Yun said that he had sent people to keep an eye on the two people. Anyway, he would not lose them. He only needed to see what Gu Nianbin planned to do. He told Shao Boqing about Gu Nianbin’s request, and Shao Boqing suddenly understood and said to Zhou Ting, “I knew it. The block-headed Gu Nianbin wouldn’t take Du Xiaoxian out like that without any preparation.”

After Zhou Ting heard what he said, she sighed with emotion, “There’s really nothing that boss won’t do for Xiaoxian.” He was a proud, alienated and indifferent person who was admired by the public. She had never seen him beg for help before, but now… She sighed faintly. How much did such a person love someone to completely change himself?

Shao Boqing gave a clear explanation about the company’s affairs and then rushed to the Jiang Group to Shen Li without stopping. In order to avoid suspicion, he rarely came to the Jiang Group, but he couldn’t care about that at the extraordinary times.

Because he didn’t make an appointment and was from the Gu Group, Shen Li’s secretary was very dutiful and didn’t let him in. Shao Boqing looked at the gentle and capable secretary and immediately thought of Nina. He suddenly felt angry and rudely pulled the secretary away and directly rushed in. The secretary chased after him into the room and looked at Shen Li with a panicked expression.

Shen Li raised his hand and told the secretary to leave with a serious expression.

Shao Boqing rarely saw this expression on his face. He couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment. He saw Jiang Kaiwei was also here, whose expression was also solemn. It was rare for Jiang Kaiwei not to express any opinions about Gu Group’s General Manager breaking into Jiang Group’s General Manager Jiang’s office. Shao Boqing touched his face and asked blankly, “What’s wrong? What happened?”

Shen Li pointed at the stack of photos on the table and said, “Look at these yourself.”

Shao Boqing thought they were photos of Du Xiaoxian last night, but when he walked over and saw them, he saw that it was Xia Xiaowan and another woman in the photo. The two women looked a little alike, but they did not look alike. There was an indescribable strange feeling.

Shao Boqing picked up the photo of the unfamiliar woman and asked, “Who is she?”

“Xia Xiaowan,” Shen Li replied indifferently.

Shao Boqing was shocked, “What do you mean?”

Shen Li said, “Don’t you understand? Xia Xiaowan did the plastic surgery and made herself look like Xia Xiaowan, and even changed her name. She used to be called Xia Manyin, from the Xia family in S City, which is a side branch of the Xia family in G City. However, they usually don’t have much contact with each other. Xia Manyin should know Gu Nianbin a long time ago. It wasn’t just on this blind date that she met him. In order to become Xia Xiaowan, she had flown to Korea five times before she became like this. Therefore, she had deliberately planned to get Gu Nianbin and was determined to obtain him. After planning for such a long time, she officially appeared not long ago. If it hadn’t been for Du Xiaoxian’s appearance, Gu Nianbin would probably have been with her. Therefore, it is understandable that she hates Du Xiaoxian to the bone. ”

Hearing this, before Shao Boqing got angry, Jiang Kaiwei glared at Shen Li fiercely, “What do you mean? Do you pity her?”

“No,” Shen Li explained, “I’m trying to say that she has a motive for doing this to Du Xiaoxian. Didn’t you not understand why she hated Du Xiaoxian so much before?”

Shao Boqing was once again stunned and glared at Shen Li, “You knew it before? And you actually didn’t tell me?”

Shen Li waved his hand guiltily. “Why are you both staring at me? I saw through that she was playing tricks, but she didn’t succeed. She had done so many things, but Gu Nianbin was still as good to Du Xiaoxian as ever. So why should I talk too much? I didn’t expect her to plan such an evil matter. If I had known she was such a perverted woman, would I not have reminded Gu Nianbin?”

Shao Boqing pointed at him. “If Gu Nianbin found out, you would be in trouble.”

Shen Li actually felt a little guilty. Originally, he just intended to watch the show from the sidelines, and he didn’t expect such a thing to happen. Gu Nianbin and Jiang Group had at least gone through a lot for so many years. There was some close connection between them, let alone Du Xiaoxian. He liked that little girl very much. Her pitiful appearance would always instantly make him feel pity for her. To harm a young girl like this was truly too shameless. Normally, Shen Li was a person who would cherish beautiful women, but he also felt that death was even not enough for Xia Manyin.

“What will Gu Nianbin do?” Shen Li asked.

“Of course he’ll give you a fierce beating. You’d better not fight back, or he won’t let it pass with you.” Shao Boqing warned him.

“I’m asking how he will deal with Xia Manyin?”

Shao Boqing rubbed his own chin and said, “As far as I know about him, Xia Manyin will be very miserable. Gu Nianbin hates people harming his families the most. Although Du Xiaoxian is not his family, she is even more important than his family. What do you think he will do?”

“Will he kill Xia Manyin?” Jiang Kaiwei asked coldly.

Shao Boqing shook his head, “In Gu Nianbin’s concept, death is only relief, living worse than death is his ultimate goal.”

“Then what will he do?” Jiang Kaiwei asked again.

Shao Boqing felt a little strange. Jiang Kaiwei and Gu Nianbin had never liked each other. The former should be secretly happy in his heart now. But why did he pull a long face as well? As if someone owed him millions of dollars. Could it be that he really took a fancy to Du Xiaoxian?

Seeing that Jiang Kaiwei was still looking at him, Shao Boqing shook his head. “I’m not his agent, and I’m not a bug in his head that knows what he might be thinking. Go ask Gu Nianbin himself.”

Jiang Kaiwei glanced at him coldly and frowned thoughtfully.

Shao Boqing looked at Shen Li and wanted to see some clues on his face, but Shen Li said, “Don’t look at me. I’m not his agent, nor am I a bug in his head that knows what he might be thinking. I don’t know anything.”

He talked back so quickly. Although Jiang Kaiwei still kept a gloomy face, he glanced at Shen Li approvingly. Shen Li was his general manager, and at the critical moment, he was at least on his side. Shao Boqing curled his lips and expressed disdain for Shen Li’s flattering behavior. Then he picked up Xia Xiaowan’s photo and looked at it seriously.
