Mr. Gu's wife is a little naughty

Chapter 29 The Jianghu between Women

"Mr. Gu," Tian Tian stepped lightly into Lin Tao's office, which was filled with a quiet atmosphere. "Ms. Hong Momo from Hongyuan Real Estate is here. She wants to see you." As she spoke, she approached the desk, her eyes falling on Lin Tao's profile, which was staring intently at the computer screen under his tightly furrowed brows.

"I don't know him, I won't see him." Lin Tao's fingers jumped lightly on the keyboard, and he said without raising his head while looking at the computer screen.

"But she said that you saved her life in Tibet, and she came here specially to thank you." Tian Tian said without giving up.

"There are so many people who want to see me. Do I have to see every one of them?" A hint of impatience inadvertently flashed across Lin Tao's brows. He slowly raised his eyes, with an unquestionable determination in his eyes, and looked directly at Tian Tian in front of him.

"Didn't Lingzi teach you the rules?" He paused, his tone becoming more stern. "I'm free to decide when to meet someone and when not to meet someone. I don't need you to tell me what to do, and I certainly don't need you to make any arrangements for me."

Tian Tian's lips unconsciously curled slightly as she heard this, as if she wanted to make some excuse, but she gave up under Lin Tao's unyielding aura. "But...she..." She whispered softly, but only managed two words before she was interrupted by Lin Tao's cold gaze.

"Get out!" Lin Tao's voice was deep and powerful, leaving no room for negotiation. "Remember, don't bring anyone to me again. If you don't want to continue working here, you don't have to pay any attention to me."

Upon hearing this, Tian Tian only responded with a light "Oh", with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes. Then she turned and left. Before leaving, she did not forget to secretly roll her eyes at Lin Tao with resentment, as if it was a silent protest against this inhumane order.

"how's it going?"

Hong Momo had been sitting in the tea room waiting anxiously. When she saw Tian Tian walk in with a somewhat unhappy look on her face, she quickly stood up, with a barely perceptible hint of anxiety in her voice.

Tian Tian frowned slightly and shook her head, her tone filled with confusion and helplessness. "I don't know what's wrong with him. He said he doesn't want to see you."

Upon hearing this, Hong Momo's face flashed with a subtle sense of disappointment, but in an instant, she gently concealed that emotion, replacing it with a relieved smile. "It's okay, I was abrupt, I hope I didn't get you into trouble."

Tian Tian forced a smile and said, "Not yet. So what are you going to do? Do you still want to see him?"

Hong Momo gently took Tian Tian's hand, her eyes filled with care and warmth. She said in a gentle tone, almost whispering, "Don't worry about me. There will always be a chance to thank him properly. But you, Tian Tian..." At this point, her words unconsciously took on a hint of worry. She paused slightly and slowly said, "After so many years, you still don't want to reconcile with Uncle Tian?"

Tian Tian felt a mixture of emotions when she heard this. She took a deep breath, as if to turn all her emotions into a sigh, and slowly said, "Momo, you and Xue'er are the most precious things in my life. You understand me."

Hong Hongmomo gently patted the back of Tian Tian's hand, a trace of heartache and helplessness flashing in her eyes: "I understand your persistence, but you must also remember that you need to be more cautious when working here. Beichen once mentioned privately that Mr. Gu has a unique style of doing things and is no ordinary person. I'm afraid that if something really happens in the future, it will implicate you."

Tian Tian raised the corners of her mouth slightly, outlining a faint and confident smile, "It's okay, Momo, I don't worry about these things. I'm just a small assistant. Even if the sky falls, it won't hit my head."

Hong Momo hesitated to speak and was about to persuade him again, but was stopped by a sharp female voice.

"Who allowed you to slack off here during working hours?"

Tian Tian's smile faded upon hearing this, replaced by a mixture of helplessness and a touch of disdain. She slowly turned around, her eyes meeting the woman's, a look that held both polite distance and a subtle edge.

"Do I need to inform you of what I'm doing?"

"What an arrogant little goblin!" Another woman, with contempt in her eyes, rolled her eyes slightly, and walked silently to the side of the previous woman with a bit of deliberate affectation in her steps. She crossed her arms over her chest, raised a disdainful arc at the corner of her mouth, and shot a gaze as cold as ice at Tian Tian, ​​as if to penetrate her.

"What? You want to bully us?" Hong Hongmomo's face suddenly turned cold when she heard that. She slowly turned around, her eyes as sharp as an eagle, staring directly at the two uninvited guests in front of her. Her tone contained both a warning and a hint of power that should not be underestimated.

"Why is it you?" The once arrogant woman's aura suddenly dropped as her eyes met Hong Momo's, and her attitude took a 180-degree turn. "Oh, Miss Hong, you are such a distinguished guest! Why didn't you let us know in advance? We could have prepared to welcome you!" She said, bowing slightly, her smile so forced it was almost flattering, a stark contrast to her previous expression.

Hong Momo snorted lightly, her eyes showing disdain. She didn't even look at the other person. Instead, she looked at Tian Tian gently, her voice filled with concern: "They, don't they make you angry a lot every day?"

Tian Tian raised her lips to a bitter and subtle smile, "Not really, after all, it's my first day at work, I can't say it's often, but it's hard to say in the future." Tian Tian's words seemed to be deliberately fanning the flames.

As expected, the woman who had previously held herself in high esteem could no longer maintain her composure. She quickly responded, her tone tinged with the urgency of a defense, "Assistant Tian, ​​you're being a little too polite. I'm doing this out of pure kindness. You're new here, and there are so many tricks to navigate around the company. I'm just worried you might stumble into something, so I'm giving you a heads-up." Her words, while trying to demonstrate her deep concern, also hinted at a certain unwillingness to be outdone.

"Oh? In that case, I really have to appreciate it!" Tian Tian's lips curled up in a playful arc, with a bit of cunning and disdain flashing in her eyes. She glanced at her lightly, and then a cold and subtle smile bloomed on her face.

"No need to thank me. We will be colleagues from now on. If you don't understand something, you can just ask me directly." The woman lowered her posture again, and her words were full of humility and sincerity.

Hong Momo smiled secretly. Seeing this, Tian Tian quietly nudged her with her elbow. There was a tacit understanding between the two of them, and no words were needed.

"In that case, I'll leave first. If anyone bullies you here, remember to tell me. My best friends, Hong Momo, are not someone who can be bullied by anyone." Hong Momo deliberately raised her voice and her eyes stayed on the two women for a moment, causing them to lose their composure in an instant.

"I dare not, I dare not." The woman spoke hurriedly, with a hint of panic and retreat in her voice. Then she pulled her companion beside her and hurriedly fled from the tea room full of subtle atmosphere like a frightened deer, leaving only a series of hurried and messy footsteps echoing in the air.

"Who is this person? He looks like he walked down from the stage, and he smells like tea." Hong Momo opened her red lips slightly, her words full of teasing and disdain, her eyes following the two figures that were moving further and further away until they completely disappeared from her sight.

Tian Tian curled her lips slightly when she heard this, and a look of confusion and grievance flashed across her brows. "I'm also wondering, I don't even know her, and I don't know where I stepped on her fox tail, but she disliked me as soon as I arrived."

"Forget it, they are just insignificant little people. I'm leaving. If they dare to bully you again, just tell me and I will teach them a lesson for you." There was an imperceptible tenderness in Hong Momo's words, and she gently patted Tian Tian on the top of her head.

"I know. I will always remember your kindness." A rare innocent smile bloomed on Tian Tian's face, as if she had returned to her girlhood in an instant, and she started to act coquettishly towards Hong Momo.

Hong Momo didn't stay any longer, but just cast a complicated look again, looking in the direction of Lin Tao's office. There was both relief and unwillingness in her eyes. Then, she turned around resolutely, with a bit of determination in her steps, and slowly walked out of the door.

At the other end of the office area, behind a half-open glass door, two women stood quietly in the shadows. Their eyes passed through the crack of the door, closely following Hong Momo's departing back. Their expressions were different, as if they were hiding unknown secrets and calculations.
