Chapter 52

othes to someone else Or maybe the dress wasn't even genuineGu Chi felt that everything was going to start all over again.Gu Chi was instructing Yang Zhao to continue investigating the case of the lit..."No, it's alright…" She dodged Gu Chi's gaze. "My mom hasn't been feeling well recently… she needs to rest..."

Su KeXin's words were vague, but she didn't mention that her mother was critically ill, nor did she bring up the issue of medical expenses.

Gu Zhi's dark eyes were slightly cold.

Over the years, he's encountered many women in his business dealings. Some were casual flings, some were working girls, and some came from wealthy families. But none of them failed to act coquettishly. Even for trivial matters, they relied on men, demanding money or help from them.

But Shu Ke Xin and they were different.

Although their marriage wasn't long, she had never asked him for anything. More precisely, she was deliberately avoiding receiving any benefits from him.

Such alienation and distancing, for no reason, made Gu Chi feel irritable.

"Is that so" The displeasure in his heart made Gu Chi's voice a few degrees colder. "In that case, I wish your mother a speedy recovery."

Su Keqin frowned slightly.

What did she say wrong Why does Gu Chi seem unhappy

But she didn't say much, could only quietly eat her meal, and then silently let Gu Chi take her to the subway station and ride the subway to work.

Upon arriving at the magazine company, Su Kexin did not go straight to her office but went to the finance department instead, trying to ask them to pay her one month's salary in advance.

But she had already paid for the next month's salary in advance half a month ago. Paying again would be for the following month's wages.

"Ke Xin, it's not that we don't want to help you. We know your difficulties too, but we really can't make the call on this." Xiao Zhou from the finance department looked at Su Ke Xin with difficulty.

Su Ke Xin's eyes darkened, just as she was about to speak, a cold voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Su Kexin, during working hours, why are you not preparing for the afternoon interview in the finance department"

Upon hearing the sound, Su Keqin's heart skipped a beat. She reluctantly turned her head and saw Gu Yihán standing behind her, looking at her coldly.

"Some things." Su Keqin didn't want to say anything extra to Gu Yichen, so she simply answered briefly before quickly walking out of the finance room.

As soon as she reached the corridor, Gu Yichen suddenly caught up to her, grabbed her wrist, and slammed her against the wall.

"Gu Yichen, what are you doing!" Su Kexin was afraid that Xiao Zhou and the others in the finance department would hear, so she could only whisper angrily.

"What, are you going to do nothing" Gu Yichen's face still held that mocking smile as he looked down at Su Kexin, "It's just a concern for my fiancée's sister. Why does she need to advance her salary over and over again"

Su Kexin knew that her conversation with Xiao Zhou just now was probably heard by Gu Yichuan. She angrily rubbed her aching wrist, pretending to be indifferent and said, "Editor-in-Chief Gu, didn't I tell you I just want to buy a bag."

"Gu Yichen laughed angrily, "Su Kexin, do you really think I'm a fool"

He didn't believe it. If Su Ke Xin really wanted a bag, wouldn't Gu Chi give it to her considering how much he cared for her

She must have something urgent she needs the money for, or something she can't tell Gu Chi about, that's why she went to such lengths to get her wages paid early.

At the thought of this, Gu Yichen's lips suddenly curved into a cruel arc. He suddenly pressed his hands on Su Keqin's sides against the wall, trapping her whole body.

"Gu Yichan, what are you doing!" Su Keqin was a little panicked now.

Su Ke Xin, it seems you really need this money. " Gu Yi Han leaned forward slightly, getting closer to Su Ke Xin, "A month's wages... I guess you probably need ten thousand yuan"

Su Keqin frowned, “This is none of your business.”

As she was about to push Gu Yichen away, his next words froze her in place.

"Here's a deal. You spend the night with me, and I'll give you ten thousand."

Su Ke Xin looked up in disbelief, staring at Gu Yihan before her. His face was twisted into a mocking sneer.

"How are you" Gu Yichen lowered his head, looking at Su Keixin's pale face. He felt a bit agitated, but when he thought of yesterday's scene where she was flirting with Gu Chi, his anger rose uncontrollably. "You know, ten thousand yuan a night, this is far above market price, you don't lose anything at all."rt. As long as the editor-in-chief didn't cause her trouble, a promotion and raise were unimportant. 。She thought to herself, it's better to die sooner rather than later. Whether good or bad things ha...
