“Ha… ”

Old Lady Xiao gave a cold snort, the voice seemed to come from the nasal cavity, with endless contempt and sarcasm.

She opened her shriveled Lips, looked at Guan Xi and said, “Wen Xi, you are still young and have just married Xiao Jiuyan. Men like young and beautiful girls. How long do you think he will dote on you? ”

Guan Xi did not immediately answer, she looked at Old Lady Xiao, seems to be shocked by her this question.

After a long while, she mumbled, “I think… I think ninth master will always like me. ”

“NAIVE! ”

Old Mrs. Xiao did not like her weak look She said sharply, “a man like Xiao Jiuyan does not lack women. He is spoiling you for a while now. How long do you think this can last? I’m afraid that he will get tired of you before it even reaches half a year, let alone a year. ”

Guan Xi’s face was a little Pale, as if she was frightened by old Mrs. Xiao’s words.

She retorted in a low voice, “I think… I think 9th master is not such a person. ”

“That’s why you’re young. ”

Old Lady Xiao Looked at Guan Xi with her old eyes She said, “it’s most unreliable for a woman to entrust her future to a man. If you want to live well and want to be comfortable in the future, you’ll have to rely on yourself. Have you ever thought about what you’ll do once Xiao Jiuyan doesn’t want you anymore? ”

Guan Xi looked at Old Lady Xiao, blinked her eyes, and said somewhat blankly, “yes, but 9th master won’t abandon me. ”

“What if he doesn’t want you? ” Old Lady Xiao pressed on.

“If 9th master doesn’t Want Me… ” Guan Xi had been asked too many questions by Old Lady Xiao. She lowered her little head and thought about this question.

After thinking for more than a minute, she looked at Old Lady Xiao and said with some discomfort, “I don’t know what to do. ”

“This is it… ”

Old Lady Xiao’s cold old face softened a little, and her tone softened as well. She had already hit this little girl, and she planned to give her some benefits “girls should not always think of relying on men to dote on them. In the end, they have to rely on themselves. With money in their hands and a trump card in their hands, they will have confidence, understand? ”

By this time, Guan Xi had almost figured out what Old Lady Xiao wanted her to do.

It was just a combination of carrot and stick, coercion and inducement. She wanted her to do something to ninth master.

The round and smooth little face showed a confused expression. Guan Xi looked at Old Lady Xiao and asked hesitantly, “you mean… ”

The Old Lady gave the Fourth Xiao a look.

The fourth Xiao immediately took out a check and handed it to Guan Xi.

Guan Xi glanced at the check. There were a few Zeros on it, so she couldn’t see it clearly.

She asked hesitantly, “what are you doing? ”

“This is 20 million. ”

The moment the Old Lady said 20 million, before Guan Xi could react, Gu Zhengbo had already stared at the check without blinking. Guan Xi didn’t reach out to take it. He wanted to reach out to take it.

Although the Gu family had some money, 20 million wasn’t a small amount.

“It’s a lot of money for you. ”

Old Lady Xiao Stared sharply at Guan Xi and said slowly, “I don’t need you to do anything. You’re staying at the Xiao residence now and following Xiao Jiuyan. You just need to report to me every few days what he does. ”

Guan Xi widened her eyes slightly. “This… isn’t this asking me to betray ninth master? ”

She shook her head repeatedly. “I can’t do that. ”

“Gu Wenxi, you’re a smart person. People should think for themselves. ”

Old Lady Xiao laughed sinisterly. “Besides, how can this be considered betraying master Jiu? It’s just that you reported what he did and didn’t ask you to do anything to him. Isn’t it easy to get 20 million yuan for this kind of work? ”

“But… ”

Guan Xi showed a hesitant expression, but her eyes kept glancing at the check.

Obviously, she was already moved.

How could Old Lady Xiao not see that Guan Xi was already moved? A Hint of mockery flashed in her eyes.

Was this what Xiao Jiuyan had taken a fancy to and pampered in his hands?

Everyone said that Xiao Jiuyan was amazing, but he was blind when it came to women.

Madam Xiao Glanced at Gu Zhengbo again.

Gu Boming’s small eyes were fixated on the 20 million check.

With a father like Gu Zhengbo who could not take his eyes off money, how good could this daughter be?

Guan Xi was still hesitating.

Gu Zhengbo reached out and pushed Guan Xi, urging her, “Xi Xi, take it. This is a little token from Madam Xiao. She just wants you to report what Master Jiu did, not to do anything to him. It has nothing to do with betrayal. Take it, take it. ”

Gu Zhengbo urged her so hard, as if Guan Xi could put the money into his pocket if she took the check.

Guan Xi bit her lip.

Her round little face was even more shaken.

“Okay. ”

After a few seconds, she finally made up her mind. Xiao Bai reached out to take the check from Xiao Laosi’s hand.

Before taking it, she looked at old Mrs. Xiao and asked timidly, “you really just need to report ninth master’s schedule, right? ”

“Yes. Just report it. ” Old Mrs. Xiao narrowed her eyes. She looked at the little white hand that was about to touch the check and smiled. “Take it. You deserve it. ”

This sentence seemed to Reassure Guan Xi.

She took the check from Xiao Laosi’s hand and quickly put it into her pocket. Then, she bowed to old Mrs. Xiao and said in a low voice, “thank you, old Mrs. Xiao. ”

“Okay. ” Old Mrs. Xiao replied indifferently and said, “if there’s nothing else, you can go back first. My contact information is the one who called you today. Don’t forget. ”

Guan Xi pursed her pink lips and softly replied, “okay. “.

…

Guan Xi and Gu Zhengbo came out of Mrs. Xiao’s villa.

As soon as they got in the car, Gu Zhengbo started the car, wanting to send Guan Xi back to Xiao Mansion.

In the Car, Guan Xi Sat Upright, her slender back leaning against the back of the car chair. She tilted her head slightly and looked out of the car window.

Gu Zhengbo, on the other hand, could not help but look at Guan Xi out of the corner of his eye along the way.

To be more precise, he was looking at the place where Guan Xi was holding the 20 million check.

Half an hour later, the car was almost at Xiao Mansion.

Gu Zhengbo asked Guan Xi to marry him on his behalf. He also went to the Xiao Corporation several times to ask ninth master for money. Ninth Master was so cold and indifferent. Even if Gu Zhengbo was his father-in-law, he did not want to meet ninth master Xiao.

The car stopped a few hundred meters away from Xiao Mansion.

Gu Zhengbo stepped on the brakes and said, “Xixi, I’ll send you here. You can walk back on your own. ”

“Okay. ” Guan Xi was only a few hundred meters away. She was not so unreasonable as to insist that Gu Zhengbo send her to Xiao Mansion.

Guan Xi touched the door handle with her fair hands. Just as she was about to open it, she heard Gu Zhengbo say, “Xixi, wait a minute. ”

Guan Xi frowned and looked at Gu Zhengbo in confusion. “Father, is there anything else? ”

Gu Zhengbo stared greedily at Guan Xi’s pocket with the check. Although he was anxious, he still pretended to be kind and said, “Xixi, where’s your check? Show it to me. ”
