Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 976 - Chapter 976 Chapter 975 Formidable

Chapter 976: Chapter 975: Formidable Chapter 976: Chapter 975: Formidable “Of course! It was really amazing!” Gu Qiu said with unmatched pride, “You don’t know how tough it was when I was job hunting. I had to get through so many hurdles to get in here.”

Nan Fei couldn’t help but chuckle at her expression, “Compared to the industries owned by Zuo Xinyao, current CY’s business is nothing but a drop in the bucket.”

“Really? Is Yao Yao really that wealthy?” Gu Qiu blurted out without thinking and immediately regretted it. She frantically covered her mouth, wishing she could just seal it shut.

It’s over! There goes her good image.

Meeting Nan Fei’s smile that wasn’t quite a smile, Gu Qiu’s cheeks slowly turned pink.

“Yao Yao? Why does that nickname sound so familiar? It’s like I’ve heard it somewhere before?”

“No! Not at all,” Gu Qiu vehemently denied.

When Nan Fei went to look for Gu Qiu across the way, Zuo Xinyao had already left, but she was truly curious about what exactly had happened between the two.

“Alright! If you say it’s nothing, then it’s nothing.” Nan Fei pressed her no further. However, she still needed to make sure about Gu Qiu’s feelings toward Zuo Xinyao. If Gu Qiu really didn’t like him, she couldn’t inadvertently do harm with her good intentions.

It wouldn’t be good if Gu Qiu was hurt.

“Seriously, what do you really think of Zuo Xinyao?” Nan Fei lowered her voice, “If you truly dislike him, I’ll get him kicked out and not let him stay in our community.”

“Ah?” Gu Qiu quickly waved her hands, “No way, how could I possibly dislike him.” She was too busy liking him, but Zuo Xinyao despised her. She didn’t dare show up in front of him.

“You don’t dislike him?” Nan Fei asked with a puzzled look, “Then why do you always avoid him whenever you see him?”

“That’s because he dislikes me,” Gu Qiu said dispiritedly, like a deflated ball, “I guess right now he might even relish the idea of killing me.”

Nan Fei was taken aback by this revelation and couldn’t help but wonder what Gu Qiu had done to be so guilt-ridden.

“You don’t know, I grew up in the compound too. But then my dad passed away, my mom remarried, and that’s when I moved out. That’s how I know the likes of Zuo Xinyao.”

Once Gu Qiu started talking, she couldn’t stop; she had been feeling quite stifled being by herself lately, and having someone to chat with actually felt quite nice.

The two of them couldn’t stand talking at the company’s entrance, so they walked into the building and directly sat down in the lounge area of the lobby without going to the reception desk.

After sitting down, they attracted quite a bit of attention.

“So when you say Zuo Xinyao hates you, what do you mean? Could it be that you two were a couple? You were his first love, but due to some misunderstandings, you separated. After the separation, you accidentally discovered you were pregnant with Zuo Xinyao’s child, so you decided to bravely have the baby on your own?”

The more Nan Fei thought about it, the more she was convinced that this was the case. She hadn’t expected the protagonist of a Mary Sue novel to be right beside her.

Gu Qiu looked blankly at Nan Fei, “What are you even talking about? I can’t understand a word.” It seemed Nan Fei really was out of sorts today, spouting non-sense.

“Eh? Isn’t that the case? If not, why is Yu Yiji Zuo Xinyao’s son?”

Mentioning this, Gu Qiu became so embarrassed she couldn’t lift her head, stammering, “Do you know Zuo Xinyao used to be a soldier?”

“I know! I’ve heard he left the military due to some disciplinary issues in his personal life.”

Gu Qiu’s face turned even redder; it had been so many years, and she’d never dared to tell anyone about it. Being a head-withdrawing tortoise for so many years, she was really too embarrassed to bring it up.
