On the day of his whirlwind wedding, the heir to a wealthy family stood up!

Su Chenxi smiled apologetically, "I didn't mean that."

Ji Xinyue scoffed, "No wonder. After all, you're not from a prestigious family, so it's understandable that you don't know about the Gu family. How about this? I won't blame you for taking up my precious time. Let's just auction this painting as usual!"

After saying that, Ji Xinyue picked up her bag and was about to leave when Su Chenxi immediately winked at Mo Mi at the door. Mo Mi smiled and reached out to stop Ji Xinyue, "Mrs. Gu, our second young mistress would like to chat with you some more!"

"Get out of the way! I don't want to talk anymore," Ji Xinyue said with displeasure.

Behind her, Su Chenxi could only continue to plead, "Mrs. Gu, please stay, let's have a proper chat."

"When Aying was in this position, she never made things difficult for me. How come she's been deliberately targeting me since she came to your position as the second young mistress? You don't still hold a grudge against me, do you?" Ji Xinyue turned her head and asked.

Su Chenxi smiled, "Of course not. I just hope that Mrs. Gu can provide detailed information about the provenance of the auction items. That's not an unreasonable request, is it?"

"What if I don't provide it?" Ji Xinyue's face darkened, deciding to take a hard line.

Su Chenxi sighed and said, "According to our auction house's regulations, we are suspending the auction of this item."

"You... Su Chenxi, how dare you! You even dare to take away my Gu family's auction items. Do you know what the consequences are for offending my Gu family?" Ji Xinyue said angrily through gritted teeth.

Su Chenxi smiled under the pressure, "I didn't mean to offend you, I'm just following the procedure."

Ji Xinyue picked up her phone and said, "I'll call my nephew right now and ask him to come over and judge this."

Su Chenxi's heart tightened. What? She was going to invite Gu Heting over?

Ji Xinyue had already dialed the number and angrily said to the other end, "He Ting, please come to the Shen Foundation and seek justice for our Gu family."

"Auntie, what happened?" Gu Heting asked in surprise from the other end of the line.

"Miss Su Chenxi withheld the auction items provided by our Gu family. It's probably because I don't have enough influence and I need your influence as the heir to get Miss Su Chenxi to release them."

"Auntie, I'm coming right away."

Ji Xinyue hung up the phone, sat down on the sofa, and crossed her legs. "Let's wait for my nephew to come over! He helped you last time, let's see if you're going to make things difficult for him this time too."

Su Chenxi was a bit overwhelmed. Ji Xinyue had even brought Gu Heting over. Was she trying to force her to let it go for Gu Heting's sake?

Things were indeed getting complicated. Su Chenxi said to Mo Mi, "Mrs. Gu's tea has gone cold. Assistant Mo, please get her a new cup."

"Mrs. Gu, I'm going to the restroom first." Su Chenxi said, getting up and going out for some fresh air.

Li Mu also picked up her phone and went into a conference room to dial Zhu Ying's number, reporting the conversation between Su Chenxi and Ji Xinyue.

"Ha! Let's see if Su Chenxi has the heart to offend the Gu family." Zhu Ying mocked from the other end.

“I think her stance is very firm, and she probably won’t give in easily,” Li Mu said.

"I actually hope she turns a blind eye and lets Ji Xinyue launder money with this painting. Then I can use that as an excuse to bring her down."

"If you do this, won't you offend Mrs. Gu as well?"

"As long as Su Chenxi is brought down, I'll compensate her. You keep an eye on things and see if Su Chenxi will let her go."

"Ok!"

Su Chenxi breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at her watch and saw it was already 4:30. She hoped to get this done before leaving get off work.

She had just taken a step when she suddenly bumped into a gentle figure walking towards her. Gu Heting had arrived so quickly.

"Young Master Gu," Su Chenxi greeted him.

Gu Heting nodded and stepped forward. "Chenxi, what happened?"

Su Chenxi thought it would be good to have a private chat with Gu Heting first, so she said to him, "Is it convenient for us to have a few words privately?"

Gu Heting nodded, and the two walked towards the adjacent lounge. At that moment, a cell phone was secretly taking pictures from behind a pillar; it was Li Mu.

The filming continued until the two people entered the lounge and the door was closed.

Su Chenxi turned to Gu Heting and said, "Let me tell you about the situation first. Your aunt has a painting that she plans to put into an auction house. I asked her to provide specific information about the painting, but she refused. As you know, auction houses have very strict requirements for auction items."

Gu Heting nodded, his eyes deep in thought. "I understand."

“Your aunt insists on auctioning it off, but I can’t get it approved. We’re at a stalemate right now, and I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to offend your aunt.” Su Chenxi expressed her predicament, a hint of worry on her face.

"Don't worry, I'll handle this," Gu Heting said in a low voice, offering words of comfort.

Su Chenxi looked at him gratefully, "So what are you going to do about it?"

"I have my own way," Gu Heting said confidently.

Su Chenxi opened the door to the lounge and walked with him to her office, a scene that Li Mu also captured on camera.

Seeing her nephew arrive, Ji Xinyue suddenly felt emboldened, standing up with her head held high. "Nephew, you've come." She then glanced at Su Chenxi, "Aren't you quite close to my nephew? You can't possibly refuse to acknowledge his presence!"

Su Chenxi smiled faintly, "Mrs. Gu, I really didn't mean to make things difficult for you. I was just following the rules."

"Don't give me that. When Aying was in this position, she didn't have so many problems, and she did a great job, didn't she?" Ji Xinyue crossed her arms, looking annoyed.

Gu Heting said to her, "Auntie, although Chenxi is my friend, we still have to go through the proper procedures."

Ji Xinyue's expression faltered for a moment, then she said angrily, "Nephew, are you here to help me or to help her?"

Gu Heting calmly said, "I'm not taking sides; I'm just standing in the middle to judge the situation."

"You... how can you be so biased towards outsiders? Is the rumor true? Is there really something you're hiding between you two?" Ji Xinyue questioned loudly.

Su Chenxi was startled, and Gu Heting's face also darkened. "Auntie, please don't talk nonsense."

“Nephew, you and I are family. You always side with this outsider. It’s impossible for me not to misunderstand.” Ji Xinyue’s eyes swept around ambiguously.

"Chenxi, can you give me a few minutes?" Gu Heting asked Su Chenxi.

Su Chenxi nodded and led Momi out.

Su Chenxi waited patiently, but less than three minutes later, her door was pushed open with a bang. Ji Xinyue, her face flushed, strode out angrily, glared at Su Chenxi, and left resentfully.

As Gu Heting strolled out from behind her, Su Chenxi knew she owed him another favor.

“Chenxi, my aunt will take back the painting. From now on, just follow the normal procedures and don’t need to act out of consideration for me,” Gu Heting said gently.

Su Chenxi nodded. "Okay, thank you."

Gu Heting looked at her with admiration in his eyes, "Actually, I also want to thank you. You saved the reputation of my Gu family."

Su Chenxi was taken aback. It seemed that Gu Heting had also seen through Ji Xinyue's true intention of using art to launder money.

"Let me take you downstairs!" Su Chenxi gestured for him to go.

Upon reaching the entrance, Su Chenxi watched Gu Heting get into his car and waved goodbye. Just as his car drove into the group of cars, Su Chenxi was about to breathe a sigh of relief when a furious male voice suddenly rang out behind her, "Why don't you just put your eyes on him?"

Su Chenxi was startled. When did Shen Yanchuan stand behind him?

Someone's face was terribly gloomy, and a fierce jealousy was burning in his eyes. Su Chenxi thought to herself, "Oh no, I've misunderstood again."
