Chapter 56: What Exactly Does He Do?

Xu Xiufen couldn’t stand it anymore. She stepped forward, intending to pull the mother and daughter apart, but Xia Nanxi stopped her.

It was not appropriate for them to intervene in this matter. Although they were all members of the Xia family, it was, after all, their family business.

Xia Zilin, tears streaming down her face, practically shouted, “You hit me? You just want my dowry to get Weidong married, right? I’m your daughter too, you can’t always be so biased!”

Being in her confinement period, such intense emotions caused her lower abdomen to ache.

Her face turned pale, and she squatted on the ground. After a long while, she stood up and walked towards the courtyard.

Cai Guixiang recovered and immediately chased after her.

After that day, Xia Zilin left Huadu and went to other cities to start anew.

Word of Wang Jianzhou smashing Xia’s dumpling shop reached Gong Jinyu’s ears.

When he personally appeared at the hospital, Wang Jianzhou trembled when he saw Gong Jinyu.

“Mr. Gong, why are you here?”

Gong Jinyu adjusted his sleeves, not even looking at him, and placed his hand on Wang Jianzhou’s newly casted leg.

Wang Jianzhou gasped, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead from the pain, but he dared not make a sound, afraid of angering Gong Jinyu.

“I heard you smashed Xia’s shop?”

Gong Jinyu withdrew his hand, looking at Wang Jianzhou.

“Y-yes, yes, I didn’t expect Mr. Gong to know the Xia family. Did they offend you too? They’re so arrogant, they need a lesson, ah—”

Wang Jianzhou hadn’t finished speaking before he cried out in pain.

Gong Jinyu raised his foot and kicked Wang Jianzhou’s intact leg. As expected, it also fractured.

“I warn you, stay away from them. You should know what I’m capable of. If I find out you’re causing them trouble again, you’ll probably spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair.”

With that, Gong Jinyu left, leaving Wang Jianzhou alone in the ward, howling in pain.

…

Early Thursday morning, as soon as Xia Nanxi stepped into the company, the receptionist excitedly approached her.

“Oh, Xia classmate, why are you so late? You ordered breakfast for all of us this morning, how thoughtful of you!”

Xia Nanxi was puzzled. Breakfast? What breakfast?

She had already eaten breakfast at home before leaving. Why would she order breakfast?

“Why are you pretending not to know? Don’t spend so much money in the future. Our company cafeteria also serves breakfast. We’re all just working people. You’re still young, save this money for school.”

Under the receptionist’s enthusiastic gaze, Xia Nanxi returned to her workstation.

On her desk, there was not only a beautifully packaged breakfast but also a bouquet of sunflowers.

She tilted her head and opened the card attached to the flowers.

[Xixi, have a good time at work! Love your encounter]

Zhang Aidi slid over in her chair, looked around, and whispered, “Nanxi, your pursuer is really generous. The breakfast he treated us to is from a five-star hotel. I’m benefiting from you today!

These flowers are beautiful too. It seems like your pursuer has good taste!”

Xia Nanxi was young, beautiful, and talented. Zhang Aidi herself wished she was a man, because such a good girl would be someone else’s in the future!

“You like it? Then it’s yours.”

Xia Nanxi stuffed the flowers into Zhang Aidi’s arms.

Zhang Aidi was surprised. “That’s not right, they’re for you.”

“This is called borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha! Besides, I don’t know how to arrange flowers, you can take them to decorate our office.”

Xia Nanxi blinked, playful and cute.

Zhang Aidi was overjoyed. She could tell that Xia Nanxi was sincere. She happily returned to her workstation and found a vase to put the flowers in.

At lunchtime, Zhang Aidi and Xia Nanxi were laughing and chatting in the restaurant.

Wang Dong, looking nervous, sat opposite them with his lunch tray.

Zhang Aidi, seeing the situation, immediately picked up her tray and was about to leave.

“Special Assistant Wang, I’m done eating, I’m going first!”

She wasn’t stupid, she could tell that Wang Dong wasn’t in a good mood. She wasn’t Xia Nanxi, if she offended him, her job wouldn’t be safe.

Wang Dong didn’t stop her, he just nodded.

Wang Dong pushed his lunch tray towards Xia Nanxi.

“Xia classmate, you’re young, eat more!”

Xia Nanxi picked up some food and put it on her plate, asking, “Special Assistant Wang, is there something you want to say?”

She had noticed Wang Dong as soon as he entered the restaurant. His gaze had been fixed on her, and he looked like he wanted to say something but couldn’t. It was as if he had a fly stuck in his throat.

She was afraid that if she didn’t ask, Wang Dong wouldn’t say anything.

Wang Dong gave a sheepish smile. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he finally spoke. “It’s not a big deal, actually. It’s just that someone ordered breakfast for everyone today, you know, you’re a special recruit, you’re young, if any rumors spread, it wouldn’t be good for you, and it wouldn’t be good for the company.”

Xia Nanxi put down her chopsticks and nodded seriously.

“Special Assistant Wang is right! That’s what I thought too. Unfortunately, I don’t know who ordered the food. Actually, I don’t want to affect everyone ordering takeout. How about this, in the future, just have my takeout stopped downstairs.”

Wang Dong immediately waved his hands upon hearing this. “No, no, no, that’s not what I meant. The company doesn’t have any restrictions on dating, it’s just that you shouldn’t be too public about it. After all, you’re still a student…”

Seeing Wang Dong’s refusal, Xia Nanxi quickly said, “Special Assistant Wang, I know you’re well-meaning, but what I said is true. I really don’t know who sent the food. What if it was a bad person? Doesn’t the President usually teach you to care for new colleagues? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll be targeted by bad people? You won’t even help me with this little favor?”

Meeting Xia Nanxi’s pitiful gaze, Wang Dong’s heart melted. He couldn’t refuse, and he nodded involuntarily.

“I’m done eating, Special Assistant Wang, enjoy your meal.”

Xia Nanxi slipped away with a triumphant smile.

Wang Dong’s appearance was timely. She was worried about how to deal with Gong Jinyu’s presence at the company. Now, someone was helping her block him!
