Chapter 287: Etched in Memory (03)

Gu Xing Shan drags her by the arm intimately as she leads her to the couch, “You sit first, jie.  I will pour you a cup of tea.”

Since Zhuang Nai Nai is not very acquainted with this house, she merely assumes that this intimacy is only an order from Gu De Shou to make her feel at home.

However, she does not know why her entire body feels so tense and rigid, as though this place is a minefield. 

She puts down the cup after taking one sip, “Where is dad?”

Gu Xing Shan giggles in front of her, “No need to rush, dad will be here soon.  I heard that you are now working in Di Hao, how is it there?”

Zhuang Nai Nai raises her eyebrows in wonder.  This little sister usually treated her with malice; there must be something behind this sudden change of attitude. 

“It’s alright.  Why?” asks Zhuang Nai Nai casually.

Gu Xing Shan smiles innocently, like an oblivious and pure young maiden, “This is my second year and we will be doing internship this year.  Can I do it in Di Hao?”

So this is what it’s all about!

Zhuang Nai Nai lowers her head and takes another sip of the tea; does this Gu Xing Shan think she is that stupid?

Zhuang Nai Nai will be blind if she fails to see that Gu Xing Shan has a crush on Si Zheng Ting. 

Just how did Li Yu Feng and Gu De Shou raised her for her to prance around dreaming about other people’s husband every day? 

Zhuang Nai Nai puts down the cup and smiles sweetly at her, “This-ah…..”

Gu Xing Shan looks at her expectantly, “Jie, I will be training to be a Senior Assistant, can you put me in the General Manager’s Department?  I will help you look after brother-in-law and guard him from women who are trying to seduce him!”

Zhuang Nai Nai secretly thinks that it is Gu Xing Shan whom he should be guarded from.

She raises her eyebrows, “I don’t know…”

Gu Xing Shan’s face falls a little, “What do you mean?  Your relationship with brother-in-law is very good, he will definitely agree to this if you just ask him.”

Zhuang Nai Nai slams the cup on the table a little harshly, “If my words are really that powerful, why am I still a little staff in the Design Department?  I believe all of you know what kind of personality Si Zheng Ting has.  Do you honestly believe he will just let you enter Di Hao?”

Gu Xing Shan chokes a little.  Even though she knows that Zhuang Nai Nai has a point, her heart is still aggrieved just the same, “You rejected my request without even bringing it up to him, do you really consider me your sister?”

Zhuang Nai Nai looks at her sternly, “Is this really your request or is it Gu De Shou’s?  If this is his idea, tell him to say it directly to me!”

Something akin to guilty conscience flashes in Gu Xing Shan’s eyes, “It is alright if you don’t want to help me, but how could you be so disrespectful towards our father?  Where are your manners?”

Zhuang Nai Nai really hates being put in this position, “Both of us know very well what kind of relationship we have, no need to prance around faking affection!  If you won’t tell me where Gu De Shou is, I just leave.  If he gets angry at you for delaying his important business, don’t come crying to me!”
