Report to the president, the lady doesn't want you anymore

Bai Xiner is not a stupid person. She keenly noticed that something unusual seemed to be happening between He Li and Gu Yan.

Some clues can be seen from their words and actions.

However, she did not care about these details because her feelings for Heli surpassed everything.

For Bai Xiner, as long as she can stay with He Li, she is willing to be used.

She loved He Li deeply, which was something she herself had not expected. After all, her original purpose was just to complete that person's instructions, but she didn't expect that she would actually fall into it.

Sure enough, when a woman faces love, she is likely to become a fool, willing to give everything for him, and even become a tool for him to stimulate Gu Yan.

This selfless love made her throw herself into this complicated emotional relationship without hesitation.

"Can you let her go out first?" Gu Yan really didn't want to argue with He Li in front of Bai Xiner.

He Li raised an eyebrow, his lips curled up slightly, revealing a wicked smile. His gaze fell on Bai Xiner, a sly glint in his eyes. Then, he gently raised a hand and, seemingly casually, placed it on the chair where Bai Xiner sat, his fingers lightly touching the backrest.

"I forgot to tell you that from today on, Bai Xiner will be my personal assistant. She must be present at all my plans in the future." He Li's voice was low and magnetic, with a tone that left no room for doubt.

Bai Xiner was struck by lightning when she heard this, speechless with shock. Her eyes widened as she stared at He Li in disbelief, her mind instantly flooded with countless fantasies and speculations. Could it be... could it be that He Li really has a crush on her? This thought kept echoing in her mind, causing her heart to race.

As this thought emerged, Bai Xiner's cheeks flushed rapidly, as bright and juicy as a ripe apple. Her eyes grew hazy, her lips slightly parted, as if she wanted to say something but didn't know how. Her entire body stiffened, her hands gripping the edge of the seat, trying to steady herself.

Gu Yan snorted in her heart, but she looked a little calmer when she looked at He Li. Ever since she came in, Gu Yan felt that something was wrong. It was not until now that she dared to be sure that He Li was deliberately trying to make things difficult for her. He wanted to see Gu Yan give in.

But who is Gu Yan? She would rather die than live in disgrace, but the current situation has not developed to the point of tension.

Gu Yan pulled out a chair and said, "Since you called me here, you must have something to tell me. Just tell me, I'll listen."

"From today on, you will be Bai Xiner's deputy and be responsible for all my affairs. Also, don't even think about running away. After all, you don't want the Jiang family to really fall." The man's cold voice echoed in the air with unquestionable majesty.

Gu Yan's eyes widened as she stared at the man in front of her in disbelief. Her lips trembled slightly, but she couldn't utter a single word.

After a long pause, she spoke with difficulty, "So, when exactly did you decide to deal with the Jiang Group? He Li, how did you become so terrifying? To deal with just me, you went to such lengths to devise such a scheme. Should I even thank you for not completely wiping out the Jiang Group?"

In her heart, Gu Yan had always been resisting the fact that He Li had changed. She still liked the sunny and confident He Li who only had eyes for her.

But on second thought, wasn't all this caused by Gu Yan herself? She couldn't blame anyone.

He Li curled up the corner of his mouth in a sneer, and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.

He nodded obediently and said in a cold tone, "At this point, there's nothing to hide. On the contrary, I have to thank you very much. If it weren't for your wholehearted efforts to betray me, I wouldn't have been able to achieve my goal so smoothly. The Gu Group is now in a difficult situation, and all this is thanks to you. So, I advise you not to be so clever. In this world, no one can protect you and your mother except me!"

Gu Yan's face instantly turned pale, her body trembling slightly, as if she had lost all her strength. She could never have imagined that she would become a pawn in someone else's hands, and the most foolish one at that. Her heart was filled with regret and self-blame, but at the same time, she felt an immense fear for the future.

She knew that Gu Yihuai absolutely wanted to kill her now. It was true that Gu Yihuai was an absolute lunatic, but He Li was even worse. Gu Yan had misjudged He Li's methods from the very beginning.

However, faced with the cruel reality, Gu Yan did not choose to escape or beg for mercy.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, then raised her head, looked at He Li firmly and said, "Now that things have developed to this point, I have nothing to say. I did betray you, and you want to punish me, this is what I deserve!"

He Li didn't respond to Gu Yan's words as she had expected. Instead, he silently stood up and slowly walked to her side. His eyes were cold and deep, as if hiding endless secrets.

"You're too self-righteous." He Li's voice was low and cold, as if it came from the bottomless abyss. "You think you're important, but in reality, you're not worth my attention."

Gu Yan's eyes widened, a look of astonishment on her face. She had never expected He Li to say such a thing to her so directly. However, He Li didn't seem to care about her reaction and continued, "Go over the next steps with Bai Xin'er. You'll be very busy for the next three months." With that, He Li turned and left, leaving Gu Yan alone, lost in deep thought.

After seeing He Li leave, Bai Xin'er finally gave up her pretense of weakness. She looked up at Gu Yan with disdain and contempt in her eyes. "Hmph! It's true that things change over time! Gu Yan, I really want to know what kind of thing could make someone hate you so much? It's no wonder, considering you were nearly assaulted before. I never imagined you had such a shameful past. But I have to admit, you're quite strong." A smug smile played across Bai Xin'er's lips as she spoke, seeming quite satisfied with the information she had gathered.

After hearing these words, Gu Yan's mind suddenly became a chaotic mess, a buzzing sound. This incident had always been an unspeakable pain in her heart. She had never imagined that someone would so cruelly open up such a scar. Why did He Li treat her like this? Why did he tell Bai Xiner about this incident as a topic of conversation? All of this filled Gu Yan with immense pain and anger.

Just as Bai Xin'er approached Gu Yan, about to say something, Gu Yan simply stared at her silently, a chilling glint in her eyes. It was a deep indifference and determination, as if warning Bai Xin'er not to cross the line. Bai Xin'er was so intimidated by Gu Yan's gaze that she didn't dare to speak for a moment.

Finally, Gu Yan said coldly, "If you don't have any official business to report, I'll leave first." After that, she turned and left, leaving Bai Xiner standing there alone, at a loss.

Gu Yan's figure gradually disappeared from sight, leaving Bai Xiner alone to face her embarrassment and confusion.

But as soon as Gu Yan returned to the manor, he saw Zhao Qingqing walking around anxiously outside, as if she had encountered some difficulties.

"Qingqing, why are you here?"

Hearing Gu Yan's voice, Zhao Qingqing couldn't help but shed tears: "Ayan, an hour ago, I received a notice from the Human Resources Department saying that I was fired."

As a member of the Haisheng Group, Zhao Qingqing's livelihood depends entirely on Heli's company. However, she secretly aided Gu Yan's escape, which is undoubtedly a betrayal of Heli. Therefore, she must bear the consequences.

Gu Yan had never imagined He Li would be so heartless as to put Zhao Qingqing in such a predicament. "Gu Yan, you should know that I'm a lonely person, burdened by a monthly mortgage of nearly 15,000 yuan. If I lose this job, I can't imagine how I'll live." Zhao Qingqing had established herself in the prosperous Jinghai City through her own efforts, which was no small feat. But in the eyes of people like He Li, the lives of ordinary people seemed insignificant.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I've implicated you. Qingqing, you should go back first. Waiting here is no solution. I will give you an explanation within three days. This incident is also an unprovoked disaster for you." Gu Yan said with a guilty look on his face.

Hearing this, Zhao Qingqing's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally relaxed a little. She sighed softly, her tone tinged with worry and uneasiness: "Boss He likes you the most. He should listen to you, right?"

However, Gu Yan couldn't give a positive answer right away. She was fully aware of the complexity and severity of the incident, and her heart was filled with helplessness and anxiety. Facing Zhao Qingqing's expectations, she could only lower her head silently, speechless.

At this moment, Gu Yan felt the weight of her responsibility, yet she wasn't sure she could successfully resolve the situation. She took a deep breath and decided to do her best, determined to achieve the best outcome for Zhao Qingqing no matter what. At the same time, she also hoped for Zhao Qingqing's understanding and support.

But after Gu Yan entered the manor, she found out that He Li had not returned, and more importantly, her luggage was packed by Shen Anan and placed on the first floor.

"Madam, no, Miss Gu, this is what the master has instructed. You can no longer live in the manor. Also, you really don't deserve the master's love. How could you betray him? At first, I didn't believe you would do this, but now facts speak louder than words. Miss Gu, you'll have to take care of yourself."

This was the last blow Gu Yan received today. There was disgust in Shen Anan's eyes when she looked at her.

In just one day, her mother was controlled by He Li, Wu Zhenzhen returned to the devil Wu Liang because of her, Zhao Qingqing faced difficulties because of her, and even Shen Anan now hated her.

It was like being thrown into an air-raid shelter. It was dark and quiet inside. Apart from Gu Yan himself, there were sharp arrows everywhere.
