""Xiaolu is here to talk to me about investment." The village head opened the door wide, letting her in."Investment" Fu Xiaoyao's surprised voice rose.The village head nodded, "Yes.""What investment d..."Hanchuan, why are you giving my mom so much money"
As they went downstairs, Fu Xiaoyao finally dared to ask cautiously.
Why are we giving so much money
Is this money because he cares about her, or is he used to measuring people with money
"It's nothing, anyway it's all given."
Lu Hanchuan's attitude remained indifferent as ever. He instructed her to get in the car and fasten her seatbelt before starting the vehicle directly. However, his brow was furrowed throughout.
Looking back, his previous actions were indeed beyond his expectations.
Facing a woman like Fu's mother, who was both greedy and partial, he actually had a little bit of anger.
As for the extra money... consider it compensation for Fu Xiaoyao.
But…
Fu Xiaoyao still wanted to speak, but when she saw his expression, the guilt that had just risen in her throat was swallowed back down.
She didn't know how to compensate for taking so much money out of the blue.
After returning home, Lu Hanchuan reminded her to rest more and went out again after a while.
Her heart was racing, she tossed and turned in bed but couldn't fall asleep.
The next morning, Fu Xiaoyao got up from bed with panda eyes.
After thinking all night, she estimated that this five million would only allow her to work for Lu Hanzchuan her whole life to pay it back.
"Madam, breakfast is ready. Have you woken up yet" Song Yi's voice came from outside the door.
"Okay, Auntie Song, I'll be right there."
Fu Xiaoyao quickly got up, freshened up and dressed, and went downstairs to find Lu Hanchuan sitting at the dining table enjoying breakfast.
Her pace subconsciously slowed.
Her relationship with Lu Hanchuan seemed to have suddenly shifted from husband to creditor, although there wasn't much of a marital connection between them in the first place...
Lu Hanchuan glanced upstairs but didn't pay her any special attention. After finishing his breakfast, he got up, wiped his hands with a napkin, and said in his usual flat tone, "I'll be waiting for you outside."
"Okay, I'm coming right away!"
Fu Xiaoyao couldn't let him wait any longer, so she hurriedly finished her breakfast and followed him out.
As agreed upon before, Lu Hanchuan let her off at the intersection.
Fu Xiaoyao hurried back to the company and was about to clock in when she heard her colleagues discussing something.
"Look, having someone behind you makes all the difference. The new CEO promoted her to secretary on their first day in office. Not everyone gets such treatment."
"Maybe it's not because someone is backing her Maybe she just has some skills, that's how she managed to hook up with the CEO!"
Yu Lin also heard these idle chatter, angrily wanting to reason with them.
Fu Xiaoyao immediately pulled the person back, “Linlin, forget it. It's none of our business what they want to say.”
"These people only know how to gossip!" Yu Lin glared fiercely.
"Let's go, it's almost time for work."
Having worked in the company for so long, she was naturally aware of the subtle rivalry among colleagues and had long since gotten used to it.
Back in the office, she reorganized the files Lu Hanchuan had asked her to prepare earlier and planned to send them over to him.
From today onwards, she will work hard to strive to pay back the money she owes as soon as possible!
"...Han Chuan, the surgery for Qi Ya has been scheduled. Did you arrange it You even had your assistant give that woman some money, wasn't it to compensate her"
As Fu Xiaoyao walked to the door of the CEO's office, she was about to raise her hand to knock when voices came from inside, sounding vaguely familiar.
This voice... it was like she'd heard it before, at her wedding to Lu Hanchuan.
But what are they saying
What makes an assistant send money while alleviating guilt
And... Who is Qi Ya
How could she possibly not know all of this
Fu Xiaoyao pressed her unease deep down, leaning against the door wanting to hear clearly, but a sudden emptiness beside her made her jump. The door swung open!
Fu Xiaoyao was startled and, caught off guard, stumbled forward.
At the critical moment, a pair of strong hands reached out to steady her. A playful voice came from above, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing here Could it be that Sister-in-law is eavesdropping on us"
"No, no..."
"Sister-in-law" made her face flush, and she quickly steadied herself. "Please don't call me that!"
The person in front of him was none other than Lu Hanchuan's good brother, Shao Sian!
She looked around nervously, relieved to see that there was no one else around. Luckily, she hadn't been discovered.
Shao Si Nian looked at her nervously with a smile, he knew Fu Xiao Yao's personality quite well.
With her personality, she was completely not the type Lu Hanchuan would like. Back then, it was Old Master Lu who saw her innocence, otherwise, how could Lu Hanchuan marry herhealing her Don’t you want to heal her so she can have children with you If she can’t have children, then…”"I'm not as dirty as you think." Lu Hanchuan interrupted him with a dark face."Then what do y...
