To seduce her

The sunlight shines onto the office desk through the floor-to-ceiling windows, but at this moment, there is an uneasy atmosphere in the company.

Within two days, the direction of the Gao Group seemed to have completely changed.

Even Gao Yuanbin himself heard some rumors.

Most of them are related to the projects that Gao Yuanbin is working on. It is said that several of his projects were overbudget and poorly managed, and he must have embezzled money from them.

These rumors spread quietly among departments like ghosts, and employees' eyes revealed curiosity, confusion and worry.

Gao Yuanbin sat in his spacious office, with a full wall of floor-to-ceiling windows behind him, offering a panoramic view of the bustling city.

His fingers tapped nervously on the armrest of the chair. On the surface, he remained calm and composed, handling his work as usual, but his heart had already been stirred by these rumors and was filled with anxiety and uneasiness.

Gao Yuanbin became more and more unhappy and called his assistant in.

He leaned back in his chair and raised his chin towards his assistant: "Have you heard the rumors about me in the company?"

The assistant was stunned and didn't dare to look up: "I did hear some rumors, but I think they are nonsense. You have always managed the project well. The budget overrun may just be some unexpected circumstances..."

"Has the news spread among Gao's family now?"

"Yes..." The assistant nodded, but his voice became smaller and smaller, and he lacked confidence: "Everyone is discussing it now. If this is true, Mr. Gao may take action..."

Gao Yuanbin's expression became even more annoyed: "Do you think this is true, or is someone deliberately spreading these things? I don't believe these words would appear for no reason!"

The assistant nodded repeatedly: "Yes, we all guessed so, to see if someone deliberately spread the message behind my back."

"Then go and check it out! You are my assistant, are you just watching?" Gao Yuanbin raised his voice, scaring the assistant so much that he lowered his head even more.

The assistant was a little surprised. These matters had been handled by Mr. He Manyue before, but he didn't expect that he would actually be allowed to go?

The assistant nodded quickly in agreement, then cautiously left the office.

Gao Yuanbin exhaled slowly. If this continued, would he really have to ask Gao Yuchuan for help?

……

The old residence of the Gao family.

Gao Yuchuan sat behind the large desk in the study. The sunlight shone on him through the half-open window, forming patches of mottled light and shadow.

A soft knock on the door broke the silence of the study.

Gao Yuchuan raised his head: "Come in."

The door slowly opened and Shen Yaochu pushed it open and walked in.

At this time, Shen Yaochu was wearing an elegant white evening dress, which seemed to emit a soft glow under the sunlight.

The material of the dress is light and flowing, and every step she takes is like a breeze blowing across the lake, creating ripples. The cuffs are dotted with a circle of tiny pearls, which sparkle with a warm luster in the sun.

The design of the dress is simple yet elegant, and the slim cut perfectly outlines Shen Yaochu's graceful figure.

Gao Yuchuan's attention was instantly attracted to Shen Yaochu, and his Adam's apple slid up and down unconsciously.

Shen Yaochu noticed his gaze and her cheeks turned slightly red.

Her hair was gently tied up, with a few strands falling on both sides of her cheeks like silk.

Shen Yaochu felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze. She tucked the hair beside her cheek behind her ear and asked softly, "Where is your work going?"

"It's time to end it now." Gao Yuchuan stared at her without blinking, stood up from his chair, and strode to her: "Let's go."

Gao Yuchuan was also wearing a well-tailored black suit at this time, as if he had walked out of the cover of a fashion magazine.

The fabric of the suit was of high quality, and under the sunlight, it had a deep and mysterious luster. The suit perfectly fit Gao Yuchuan's broad shoulders and upright figure.

He wore the tie that Shen Yaochu had given him on his chest, which looked simple and elegant.

Just standing in front of Shen Yaochu could make her heart move slightly.

Shen Yaochu's cheeks turned even redder, and she looked up at him with a smile: "Let's go."

Shen Yaochu held Gao Yuchuan's arm and walked out, but she couldn't help but look worried.

She hesitated for a moment, frowned slightly, and said softly: "Can I really attend my aunt's birthday party? There is only your name on the invitation."

"Of course." Gao Yuchuan responded without hesitation.

"But, will my aunt be unwilling to let me attend the birthday party? After all..."

Thinking of what the Yan family had done to her and her family, Shen Yaochu still felt a little chilly.

Gao Yuchuan obviously felt Shen Yaochu's uneasiness. He patted her hand gently and said softly, "Don't worry, I have already mentioned that matter to my aunt last time. Besides, if you don't go, how can we explain the situation to her?"

There was no doubt in Gao Yuchuan's tone, which made Shen Yaochu feel a little more at ease.

"Aunt is a reasonable person, she understands me." Gao Yuchuan said softly: "Besides, there is so much evidence in front of her, you and dad are also victims, she should feel sorry for you."

"..."

……

Yan family.

Shen Yaochu took Gao Yuchuan's arm and stepped into the Yan family.

The Yan family was very lively at this moment, and a birthday banquet for Yan Yueru was held in the banquet hall.

The hall was crowded with people, laughter and melodious music intertwined.

But the moment Shen Yaochu appeared, the atmosphere around them seemed to freeze in an instant.

The guests cast strange looks at her, either overtly or covertly. Those looks were mixed with disdain, suspicion and even hostility, silently questioning her arrival.

Although Shen Yaochu had long been accustomed to such gazes and tried hard to remain calm, he still found it difficult to completely conceal the uneasiness in his heart.

Gao Yuchuan frowned, and he put his arm around Shen Yaochu's waist, the two of them acting very intimately.

Yan Yueru was sitting in the main seat. When she saw Shen Yaochu, she raised her chin slightly, a little wary.

Shen Yaochu walked forward to wish her aunt a happy birthday.

"Aunt, I wish you longevity and a life as old as the pines on the southern mountain."

After Shen Yaochu finished speaking, Yan Yueru just glanced at her indifferently, with a barely perceptible smile on her lips, but she did not say anything. The atmosphere seemed a little subtle for a moment.

Perhaps noticing Shen Yaochu's embarrassment and Yan Yueru's dissatisfaction, some people in the Yan family began to whisper to each other.

"How dare she come here?" a young man from the Yan family whispered.

"That's right. Her father did such a disgusting thing, but he still dared to come." Another person echoed.

Everyone around was looking at Shen Yaochu and Yan Yueru, waiting to see what was going on.

Yan Yueru said slowly: "I remember that I didn't seem to invite you."

"..."
