The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 5 - : How Could I Be Bullied So Easily?

"As an internationally renowned lawyer, if you can't even handle this little matter, your lawyer's license was absolutely obtained for nothing!" Lu Jingchen didn't bother with him and just slightly parted his thin lips to look at Gu Xicheng through the smoke, his expression was indifferent, and his attitude was very clear—it was non-negotiable!

Although Gu Xicheng was seething inside, Lu Jingchen's words left him with a bitterness he couldn't express, and all he could do was to quietly acquiesce!

If he said he couldn't do it, wouldn't that be smashing his own signboard?

...

Song Qiao left the restaurant and headed straight back to her rented place, because Mrs. Gu's words had left her feeling blocked up inside, yet she found no outlet to vent!

"Qiaoqiao, you're back? What was it that Gu Linyuan wanted from you when he asked you out?"

As Song Qiao used her key to open the door, Ning Wan, who was sitting in the living room munching on chips and watching a Korean drama, immediately came over to ask!

Seeing her good friend Ning Wan, Song Qiao's initially tense emotions instantly relaxed, but her face was still not looking great as she spoke in a downhearted voice: "It wasn't Gu Linyuan who was looking for me, it was his mother..."

Upon hearing Song Qiao's words, Ning Wan's eyes widened in shock, and the next second, she blurted out a curse: "Damn, that old witch sought you out? Did she do anything to you?"

Song Qiao placed her handbag down, changed her shoes, and walked over to the living room sofa, where Ning Wan, seeing Song Qiao's complexion, immediately knew that something had happened and quickly ran to pour her a glass of water: "What on earth happened? Out with it already, did that old witch bully you?"

"It's nothing, don't worry about it. Do I seem like someone who could be easily bullied?" replied Song Qiao as she took a sip of water handed to her by Ning Wan and then held the cup while gazing down at the carpet. She took a moment to collect her thoughts and then continued: "Actually, it was just Gu Linyuan's mother telling me to stay away from Gu Linyuan, and she also informed me that Gu Linyuan already has an engagement agreement with Yun Wei, the young Miss of the Yun Family..."

"What?" Ning Wan didn't wait for Song Qiao to finish before she exploded in anger, jumping to her feet. She could imagine Mrs. Gu using other methods to pressure Song Qiao to leave Gu Linyuan, but it never crossed her mind that Gu Linyuan would have an engagement with another woman!

Ning Wan always had a sharp eye for people, and from the first time she met Gu Linyuan's mother, she knew that the old witch was not to be underestimated, having previously advised Song Qiao to be careful with Gu Linyuan's mother when she was with him. Although Song Qiao was cautious, her considerations for Gu Linyuan meant that she never thought such a thing would happen!

Song Qiao placed her cup on the coffee table and casually grabbed a cushion to hold in her arms, then continued: "His mother also told me that in a month, Gu Linyuan is going to have an engagement ceremony with Yun Wei..." She raised her head to look at Ning Wan: "Do you think I should attend when the time comes?"

"That's not the point, okay?" Ning Wan was exasperated, almost wishing she could pry open Song Qiao's head with a hammer to see what was inside. Through gritted teeth, she said: "After what that old witch said, didn't you go to confront Gu Linyuan about it?"

Song Qiao remained silent, her gaze slightly lowering to the carpet.

Ning Wan knew this would be Song Qiao's reaction and stared at her, frustrated and disappointed: "Don't tell me you're actually planning not to confront Gu Linyuan, but rather to keep silent about this whole matter, or are you waiting until they hold the engagement ceremony to believe that all of this is true?"
