Night Fire Lingering

Chapter 214 Now living off her parents, later living off her husband

Nan Zhiyi pursed her lips, unable to tell whether Gu Yanci was indignant on behalf of Wen Yan or dissatisfied with her appearance.

Neither of them was what Nan Zhiyi wanted to hear.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gu. I just thought this was a rare learning opportunity, and I also thought Yan would be here too," Nan Zhiyi apologized obediently.

Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed some documents on the coffee table. The cover of one of them looked familiar to her—it was a set of documents given to her by the professor, and she had a copy of it too.

Gu Yanci ignored Nan Zhiyi and said to Daniel, "I still have to have dinner with my wife. Let's start the meeting."

Nan Zhiyi felt completely ignored and somewhat frustrated.

This sense of frustration is exactly the same as when her mother chose Wen Yan over her when she was a child.

But so what?

In the end, Mommy chose her, accompanied her as she grew up, and stayed by her side.

“Mr. Gu, may I sit over there for a while?” Nan Zhiyi pointed to the sofa in the lounge area, while Gu Yanci, Daniel, and their respective lawyers were communicating in the meeting room.

Gu Yanci nodded, but out of consideration for Daniel, he couldn't just send Nan Zhiyi away.

If Nan Zhiyi were to run into Wen Yan outside, he was worried that Nan Zhiyi would upset Wen Yan.

……

Wen Yan finally understood why Gu Jinzhi was poor and greedy.

This girl has an amazing ability to spend money; she spent seven figures in three hours.

After finishing her paid shopping trip, Ms. Gu drove her sister-in-law back to the company, ending her day's work with a satisfied heart.

As soon as Wen Yan entered the president's office, she saw the legal director sitting opposite Gu Yanci, and the two were talking about work.

"Um...sorry, I'll come back in later." Wen Yan turned to leave.

The general counsel immediately stood up: "Madam President, I've finished my discussion here!"

After saying goodbye to Gu Yanci, he quickly left.

He was so blind before, he almost thought this was the boss's mistress!

Wen Yan: "?"

Wait, how does this person know she's Gu Yanci's wife? Are these executives so loose-lipped and love to gossip?

Gu Yanci leaned back in his executive chair, looking languid, but a closer look revealed a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

After the legal director left, Wen Yan asked Gu Yanci, "Is Gu Jinzhi's family trust enough for her to live on?"

She worried about Gu Jinzhi's future livelihood, since Gu Jinzhi didn't seem like the type to make money.

Gu Yanci shook his head, understanding Wen Yan's meaning, and said, "She asked her mother to find her a wealthy and generous husband."

Wen Yan recalled what Gu Jinzhi had said before: "I'm sponging off my parents now, but I'll sponge off my husband later. I'll treat my husband like my boss!"

Wen Yan remained noncommittal.

Wen Yan had nothing to say.

Wen Yan couldn't find any rebuttal; she didn't understand, but she respected.

Wen Yan walked to the sofa, intending to pack up her documents and take them home.

Suddenly, her gaze froze—

Her documents were originally displayed vertically, but now they're displayed horizontally?

Did she misremember, or did a secretary come in and tidy up just now?

Wen Yan checked the contents of the documents and found nothing missing.

Just then, Gu Yanci suddenly spoke up: "Lou Qi and Jiang Xing are back, on their way to the funeral home."

……

Wen Yan was timid and both respected and feared the deceased.

Maybach.

Gu Yanci said helplessly to Wen Yan, "If you're scared, then don't go."

Wen Yan didn't speak, but buried her face in Gu Yanci's arms, silently preparing herself mentally.
