Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 393: Lost Face Completely

"Xi Xi, this is Cheng Ye’s own decision."

"Nonsense, he was forced by his father, didn’t you see?"

"I know Cheng Ye wants to leave too. If he can make a name for himself outside, he and Auntie will have more confidence together."

An Junxi gradually accepted Gu Yikun’s words. It was better for Cheng Ye to resign voluntarily than to resign after his father’s interference, at least it wouldn’t cause gossip.

"Yi Ke, if Cheng Ye starts a firm outside, will you help him?"

Gu Yikun said, "If he asks, I will." He was not cold-blooded, he had to give some respect to the person his aunt chose.

An Junxi reluctantly calmed down, "I’ll go find Cheng Ye."

Gu Yikun saw that she couldn’t sit still, he didn’t stop her, letting her have something to do was better than brooding and overthinking.

An Junxi went to the legal department, the door to Cheng Ye’s office was wide open, and he was handing over work to the new supervisor.

She knocked on the office door, and the new supervisor tactfully walked out, leaving them to talk alone.

An Junxi hadn’t had a good talk with Cheng Ye, she didn’t know him well, "Cheng Ye, how is Auntie?" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Auntie refused to answer her calls, An Junxi could only ask Cheng Ye for news about Auntie.

Cheng Ye said, "She’s fine."

Xiao Yuan had been feeling down these past two days, he planned to take her out for a walk after leaving the company.

Cheng Ye knew that no matter how resolutely she broke ties with her family, she couldn’t really let go of her concerns about them, it would take time to slowly adjust her mood.

An Junxi asked, "What are your plans?"

Cheng Ye said, "When I achieve my own success, Mr. Gu will recognize us."

An Junxi was no longer worried, she believed Cheng Ye could make Auntie happy.

Cheng Ye was a few years younger than Auntie, but in front of Auntie, he was her pillar.

This was an enviable relationship, there’s always someone who makes you different from yourself, for Auntie, that person was Cheng Ye.

"Cheng Ye, let me know when Auntie’s mood improves."

"Okay."

Cheng Ye was quite patient with An Junxi, she had scolded Mr. Gu for them and even moved out of the old house because of it. To dare to challenge the Gu family elders like that, she really had guts.

An Junxi returned to Gu Yikun’s office feeling dejected, he was in a meeting room having a meeting, she lay down on the sofa in the lounge.

The senior sister was busy with company affairs and had no time for her, Miao Yan was still in the United States and hadn’t returned, she didn’t know if things had been reconciled with Xie Yuchen.

She hoped everyone around her would be happy and joyful, but such a big wish seemed hard to achieve.

An Junxi was easily emotional, she was sad for Auntie and just couldn’t feel happy.

When Gu Yikun returned to the office, Secretary Wang said, "Madam is in the lounge."

Gu Yikun walked into the lounge and saw An Junxi asleep on the sofa.

The petite figure curled up on the sofa, her eyebrows slightly furrowed. Was she still worried in her dreams?

Gu Yikun carried her to the bed and gently covered her with a blanket.

He Sirui wanted to visit the Gu family residence to see the old madam, Gu Qianlan told her, "Tonight, the Mingfang Association is hosting a charity fundraising gala, Mom and I are going, Sui Rui, you can come along."

The Mingfang Association is a famous club organized by the upper-class ladies, since its establishment, it has held many events beneficial to society. As the members are all wives of those on the wealthiest lists, outsiders have no chance to get close to this circle. Many people have mythologized the Mingfang Association as an extremely high-end and unreachable place. If someone is lucky enough to be invited to one of its events, it signifies being accepted by this circle, and it’s an incredible honor, making one the spotlight in the media.

He Sirui had attended two charity galas held by the Mingfang Association. These ladies didn’t just spend money idly on charity, they created such a social ambiance to probe useful information or arrange good marriages for their children. Charity was merely a side effect to enhance the company image.

Behind these ladies were often some business tycoons, and many business deals were finalized during toasts and banquets.

Among so many ladies, the most carefree was Liang Huiyun, the old madam of the Gu family; there was no second like her.

Few dared to miss the events of the Mingfang Association, only Liang Huiyun came and went as she pleased.

Liang Huiyun hadn’t attended a gala for a long time. Now, with her precious granddaughter not at home, the huge house had only a few residents. She felt stifled at home and wanted to take her daughter out for some fresh air.

Her daughter wasn’t young anymore, she might as well look for some promising young talents for her daughter to date.

He Sirui loved attending such events; these occasions were the best stage for her to show herself.

Hearing Gu Qianlan’s words, she immediately applied for a ticket, dressed up splendidly, and attended the lively charity gala on time.

Aunt Gu saw her excellent social skills and surely looked down on An Junxi even more.

He Sirui heard that An Junxi showed up high-profile at Gu’s Headquarters today with Yi Ke. An Junxi didn’t look like someone kicked out of the Gu family at all.

She was worried this information was false, but when she made a grand entrance at Queen’s Restaurant, she quickly confirmed the news was true with her own ears.

While a cocktail party was happening outside, Liang Huiyun and a few ladies were playing mahjong in a private room, and one of those at the table was Tao Manqiu.

Tao Manqiu still held a grudge against An Junxi, having won two rounds in a row, she began to gloat, "Old Madam Gu, your luck isn’t good today. I see that after marrying a daughter-in-law from the countryside, your good fortune has waned."

Gu Qianlan was sitting beside her mother watching the game, she felt bored. Hearing Mrs. Yin badmouth An Junxi, she couldn’t help but retort, "Aunt Yin, you’re right..."

The other two ladies laughed. Liang Huiyun pinched Gu Qianlan under the table, wondering how she managed to raise such a foolish daughter!

Family shame should not be made public, it was clear to everyone that Tao Manqiu was mocking her, but Gu Qianlan still echoed her, which was utterly embarrassing!
