Chapter Nine exposing the shortcomings in public
Gu Ruochu sat down and glanced at Huo Zhenggang. He was sitting at the end of the table. The head of the Huo family had always been quiet and serious.
"Let's eat breakfast."
The Huo family had three sons. The two other sons were not at home. Gu Ruochu did not know their whereabouts.
They had just finished their breakfast when Gu Yanwei arrived. She carried a Prada handbag. Gu Ruochu could tell at a glance that the bag cost more than a hundred thousand yuan.
She greeted everyone present. She wore a white dress that fell to the ground and looked both celestial and beautiful. Even her face looked clean and elegant.
Her whole outfit cost around 30,000 yuan. From head to toe, she was a famous brand. It was all thanks to this "little sister". She knew how to be grateful to her hosts, even though they were all kinds of rumors about them.
"Good morning, Yanwei." A smile appeared on Mrs. Huo's originally calm face. "You're here so early. You can still sleep a little longer. Girls don't have to work so hard."
"Why would I have to work hard? It's still Huo Nanchen's hard work. The entire enterprise depends on him," Gu Yanwei said with a smile.
Hearing Gu Yanwei praises for her son, Mrs. Huo smiled. "It's really unfair to ask you to be Nanchen's assistant."
"Mrs. Gu, why would I be offended? I'm happy to help Huo," Gu Yanwei said jokingly. It did not seem like she had a selfish motive towards Huo Nanchen. She was generous and decent. However, her association with Nanchen indirectly mocked her sister.
Who wouldn't feel inferior if they saw their husband with a talented female assistant?
She was an expert.
Huo Nanchen was calm the entire time. He went upstairs to change his clothes and prepare for the office. Gu Ruochu suspected that there was something fishy going on between the two of them. However, she only saw Gu Yanwei's reaction the entire time.
Gu Ruochu's expression did not change as she calmly watched Gu Yanwei put on an act.
How had she gained the assistant position? She had graduated from a third-rate and second-rate university. Although her abilities were not spectacular, she had secured a job at the Huo Corporation, a Fortune 500 company. Anyone else would burn incense. How lucky had she been?
She was having a good time.
However, Gu Yanwei was obviously not content despite her good luck. She used her sister's money to dress herself up as a rich and beautiful woman with no guilt.
She thought Gu Ruochu was stupid. She was so well off, yet she was still bullied.
"Sister, your bag is so pretty!"
Gu Ruochu, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke up and praised her sister's bag.
Gu Yanwei was stunned and a generous and decent smile appeared on her face. "Is that so? If you like it, you can ask Huo Shao to buy it for you. Do you think a woman in your position can't afford such a bag?"
If the original Gu Ruochu had heard this, she would have been heartbroken.
Everyone knew that she was not pampered by the Huo family, not to mention her husband who had a bad temper.
Gu Ruochu raised her eyebrows. "That bag is not an ordinary bag. It cost at least a hundred thousand yuan. Even if I could afford it, I couldn't spend that kind of money so freely. How can you afford such an expensive luxury item with a monthly salary of thirty thousand yuan? If I remember correctly, you've only been working for less than a year?"
How could an assistant with a monthly salary of thirty thousand yuan live such a luxurious life? Only if she did not eat or drink for at least six months would she be able to afford such a luxury bag.
Gu Yanwei's smile froze. Was Gu Ruochu trying to make things difficult for her? She knew that she had been using the money she had given her. How could she say such a thing?
