Chapter 952: Don’t Blackmail Me Morally

Lin Shu's voice was not loud, but his tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and at the end he even had a hint of sarcasm.

Gu Jingyang was stunned. She had always thought that Lin Shu was a person without temper.

In these years around Gu Jingyan, he had always been smooth and said different things to different people. Sometimes she had a bad temper and called Lin Shu a dog of their Gu family, but Lin Shu never refuted.

She really didn't like Lin Shu, a "soft bone" who only flattered his superiors.

So much so that a few months ago, when she was just transferred to the grassroots department of Jiangsheng, she knew that Gu Jingyan asked Lin Shu to take her with him, and she was angry with him openly and secretly.

The work he assigned to her was always more important than others. When the same documents were submitted, Lin Shu would just randomly point out a few words to other people's papers. When it was her turn, Lin Shu took a pen and circled them while saying, "Is this how data comparison is done? Where did you list the year-on-year and month-on-month comparisons?"

"The title is well written, but it's all Chinese characters. Why can't I understand how they are put together?"

"Is your graduation thesis passing rate 100%? Otherwise, I really can't understand how you slipped through the net."

"Don't write my name as the reviewer below, don't blackmail me morally."

...

Gu Jingyang has always been pampered since she was a child. Although her family has her brother Gu Jingyan, she has the same genes, although she is not as good as Gu Jingyan, she is not too bad. When she was in school, her grades were basically stable in the upper middle level.

Among the sisters she played with, there were a few who studied seriously. Didn't they all get a similar diploma and then go home to follow the family's arrangements to inherit the family business?

Like her, she didn't fail any courses and her GPA was still good, which was considered excellent.

As a result, she was devalued in front of Lin Shu.

When Lin Shu first took her, she almost hated Lin Shu to death.

However, she volunteered to start from the grassroots level. Before she went, her grandmother told her that she had to endure no matter how hard it was. If she couldn't bear the hardship, she could come back, but she couldn't think about entering Jiangsheng from now on.

Gu Jingyang still had some backbone, so even though she was "targeted" by Lin Shu, she didn't tell her grandmother that she would quit.

When she came out of the detention center, she just had nightmares at first, and she often dreamed of the experience of being bullied in those days. She hated both Han Ruoxing and Gu Jingyan.

However, all these were not as heartbreaking as the sarcastic words her former friends said behind her back after she came out.

They said, "Gu Jingyang is really stupid. If I were her, I would have become best friends with Han Ruoxing. Who can't see that Gu Jingyan still has feelings for Han Ruoxing? If she treats her sister-in-law well, she can spend Gu Jingyan's money as she pleases?"

"Otherwise, why do you say she is a fool? She goes against Han Ruoxing every day and hopes that they will divorce. So what if they are divorced now? She never dreamed that Gu Jingyan would personally throw her into the detention center just because of that glass of water, right?"

"She is not smart, but fortunately she will be reincarnated. No matter what, don't we still have to call people Miss Gu?"

Everyone laughed, and then someone joked, "She may not be smart, but she still has a pretty face. If Gu Jingyan hadn't been strict with her, I would have hooked that idiot. She calls her Miss Gu and thinks she's a princess. If it weren't for Jiang Sheng behind Gu Jingyan, I wouldn't even want her to be my concubine!"

"Okay, be careful that the little princess will cry. After all, you are her salvation in her eyes now."

The man laughed, "Wait for my good news."

...

The humiliation came to her ears word by word. She was usually arrogant and domineering, but she fled after hearing the discussions in the box that day.

She no longer went to those parties and afternoon teas with those socialites to show off their capital. She followed her grandmother and listened to her stories about Gu Jingyan's childhood every day.

Sometimes people are very strange. When they are excited, they quarrel and make a mess. But when they calm down, the past of their childhood, accompanied by their grandmother's narration, flows into her heart little by little.

How did she and her brother become like this?

Is it really just because of Han Ruoxing?

She still remembered the words she scolded Gu Jingyan when he sent her in that day. She said he was blind and lost his mind because of Han Ruoxing. He didn't even care about his own sister.

At that time, her brother looked at her with disappointment. He asked her a question, "When you were a child, you felt so distressed that you cried when you saw the old man picking up rubbish. Why did you become like this now? Gu Jingyang, how did you become like this?"

Every word was heartbreaking.

But she was stubborn at that time and refused to admit her mistakes. She insisted that her brother would see Han Ruoxing's true face one day, and then he would regret his decision to drive their mother out of the house.

However, Gu Jingyan never regretted it, and Han Ruoxing jumped down without hesitation after her brother fell into the river, which was like a slap in her face.

Her opposition with Lin Shu also reconciled on that day.

When her brother got into trouble, Lin Shu was busy leading the team to deal with his second uncle. She looked at all the busy people and felt for the first time that she was so useless and could not help at all.

She began to do every job that Lin Shu assigned her seriously. Those words that she once thought were mocking by Lin Shu were actually used by her little by little in the subsequent work.

What Lin Shu taught her was never useless. It was at that time that she understood why her brother asked Lin Shu to lead her.

She was the eldest daughter of the Gu family in Jiangsheng, and everyone who saw her had to respect her. No one would really teach her practical things. Even if she made mistakes, they would just say "It's okay" in a light tone.

Only Lin Shu would not do that. He only listened to her brother from beginning to end. Only by staying with him could she really learn something.

She no longer had the initial tension with Lin Shu. The question just now was just asked out of curiosity.

Gu Jingyang grew up in an environment surrounded by famous families. The rich wives were well maintained. They looked like they were in their thirties or forties in their fifties or sixties. None of them looked so obviously old like Lin Shu's mother. She subconsciously thought that Lin's mother was over sixty.

The eldest daughter always spoke directly and asked questions when she thought of them. She didn't consider that point, so naturally she didn't know how hurtful the sentence "Lin Shu, who was born at the age of forty" was.

Lin Shu's impolite words made Gu Jingyang stunned for a moment, and then realized that he was mocking her, and her face immediately looked a little ugly.

Mother Lin was panicked, fearing that she would offend her son's boss, so she immediately slapped Lin Shu in the face and tried to smooth things over. "Miss Jingyang was just asking casually. I do look old. How can anyone be like me? I have so many white hairs at the age of 50. It's normal for Miss Jingyang to think this way." (End of this chapter)
