"Uh..." Xi Haitang was stunned by Gu Xijue's sudden move. Although he held her tightly, she noticed that his arms were shaking. Although it was very slight, it was definitely shaking.
She pushed him away slightly and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing... I just want to hug you..."
Xi Haitang vaguely noticed something was wrong. He lowered his head and looked at the newly bought bottle in his hand, and felt a little more clear in his heart, "Uh... you don't have to blame yourself. Those things have passed. Xiaochen was actually very well-behaved when he was a child.
, I didn’t worry too much about her..."
"Begonia..." He hesitated to speak.
"Um?!"
Gu Xijue was just about to say something when the phone rang suddenly and it was Qin Hao.
"Qin Hao, where have you been?"
"I just arrived in C City, Jue, guess who I met here?"
"who?!"
"Xu Manli!"
"Why is she there?! She's with my uncle?!"
"I'm not sure. I just arrived in City C and saw her leaving in a hurry. I don't know why she was there, but I intuitively believe that she has something to do with that!"
Gu Xijue frowned and said in a deep voice, "Xu Manli has stayed at 'Brilliant Jewelry' for a long time and knows a lot about the company. If she really joins in with my uncle, there will be a lot of trouble."
"Damn, that woman with big breasts and no brains is really irritating!" Qin Hao couldn't help but get a little angry, "But... I don't think her IQ is enough to do anything. I think she has a black hand behind the scenes.
"
Gu Xijue nodded, "That's what I'm worried about. Qin Hao, you have to be careful and don't alert the enemy."
"I understand! Although Xu Manli is not a ruthless character, it is undeniable that she has used nepotism to win over many people. We can't be sure who will suddenly come out and stab us in the back!"
Gu Xijue narrowed his eyes slightly, this matter was no small matter, his opponent was well prepared, he must not take it lightly!
After cutting off the call, Xi Haitang looked up and saw Gu Xijue's brows furrowed. She couldn't help but wonder, "What is it? Hasn't Xu Manli already left 'Brilliant Jewelry'?"
"Yes, she has been fired since the last incident of the blood diamond being swapped was exposed, but I didn't expect that she still refuses to settle down!"
Gu Xijue simply told Xi Haitang the whole story.
Xi Haitang was slightly lost in thought. Although she had not worked with Xu Manli for a long time, she could feel that Xu Manli was not a person who was willing to stick to her own rules. She also had a strong sense of vanity and jealousy. At first, because she was wearing a new
The skirt said that she deliberately seduced Gu Xijue... and about the photo, Liu Yaguang said that Xu Manli picked up her mobile phone in the bathroom and gave it to him... What a terrible woman!
Thinking of those past events, Xi Haitang still felt a little frightened and looked a little pale.
Gu Xijue seemed to have seen what she was thinking, and regretted what he had done, "Haitang, I'm really sorry, I went too far... But I destroyed those photos and the subsequent videos.
, it has been destroyed a long time ago, I just don’t know what to say to you..."
Xi Haitang bit her lip, not knowing what to say. She lowered her head slightly, looked at her toes, and whispered, "Don't mention the past anymore. Let's go and see Su Xin."
"Um."

Sunday.
Xi Haitang took some time to go to the boutique. It was the end of the month and she had to pay the wages of the two clerks she hired.
"Huihui, Linlin, this is your salary for this month, take it."
The two clerks took the money and were a little surprised, "Sister Haitang, why is there an extra two hundred?! Did you count it wrong?!"
Xi Haitang shook his head lightly, "I didn't count wrong, I just wanted to give you some more. The store is very grateful to you two these days, I want to thank you."
"Sister Haitang, you are too polite! We are too embarrassed to take more..."
"What's wrong with this, Huihui, Linlin, I have too many personal matters now, and I'm so busy that I can hardly take care of the store. I rely on you for everything big and small. From now on, I'll do everything
Every month I will be paid according to this month’s salary.”
"Sister Haitang, you are so kind!" Huihui and Linlin, who are still college students, were very happy to be able to do such part-time jobs in their spare time, and they also met such a good boss. They were so moved that they almost cried.
!
Xi Haitang smiled slightly and said, "Don't put such a high hat on me!"
"We are not talking nonsense..." Huihui and Linlin glanced sideways at the door of the store and snickered, "Sister Haitang, your boyfriend has come to pick you up again! He must be afraid that such a good girlfriend of yours will be raped.
Someone else should chase him away!"
Xi Haitang frowned slightly, "What?!"
She followed the gaze of Huihui and Linlin and saw Gu Xijue waiting for her at the door of the store.
Xi Haitang pushed the door open, walked to his car, and asked, "Why are you here?"
"I just went to the nursing home and saw that you were not there. The nurse there said that you seemed to have come to the university town. I was worried about you being alone, so I came over to take a look. Sure enough, you came to the store." Gu Xijue's tone
It seemed a little heavy, yet relieved at the same time.
Xi Haitang couldn't help but feel a little strange, "I just came here to pay the clerk, what could happen in broad daylight? What are you worried about?"
Gu Xijue sighed softly, "Even if I think too much!"
There are some things he doesn't want to tell her. Qin Hao's investigation has already produced preliminary results, confirming that Xu Manli was in cahoots with his uncle and betrayed a lot of company information. Xu Manli seemed to be out for revenge. Haitang and she didn't get along well before.
Great, he was a little worried that Xu Manli would do something outrageous!
I thought that he should send more people to secretly protect Haitang.
After Gu Xijue and Xi Haitang drove away, a voluptuous and gorgeous customer walked into the boutique. Huihui and Linlin were both stunned.
"What do you need, Miss?"
"Just take a look..." The gorgeous woman smiled a little strangely.
