Gu Siyan was still spouting nonsense, and Yan Wen impatiently dug at his ear.
Miss Qin really had terrible taste. Gu Siyan was so ** full of himself. Why was there a bleep?
Host, the system automatically censors inappropriate language to keep this a clean, wholesome space.
Nice feature. That way, we won't set a bad example for the kids.
Host, we won't set a bad example for them. They can't hear us.
True enough.
Qin Yue was regretting it too. How had she ever fallen for a man like Gu Siyan? Aside from his face, he had absolutely nothing going for him. She was starting to wonder if someone had bewitched her.
Yan Wen took out his phone. Xiao Qi, I'm counting on you for the evidence on Gu Siyan and Ran Zhizhi.
No problem. Please wait ten minutes, Host.
"Qin Yue, stop being unreasonable. You aren't even half the woman Zhizhi is."
Yan Wen clicked his tongue. Slap him! What are you waiting for?
The next second, Qin Yue raised her hand and delivered a solid slap across Gu Siyan's face.
Yan Wen let out a breath. That felt good.
Qin Yue looked at her hand, which had gone a little numb from the force, and her lips curved slightly. She felt much better.
The slap stunned Gu Siyan. When he recovered, he roared, "Qin Yue! How dare you hit me! Fine, just fine. Don't come crawling back to me later."
Qin Yu said coldly, "You're the one who should be on your knees begging, along with this woman."
Ran Zhizhi cowered behind Gu Siyan, clutching his arm with a pitiful look. "Brother Siyan, how could Sister Yue team up with other men to bully you like this? It's one thing for them to hit me. Sister Yue hates me, so I deserve it when she hits me. But you're Sister Yue's husband. How could she..."
Mu Xu Xi frowned. "If you're going to be a mistress, know your place. All this clucking day in and day out—are you pretending to be a hen?"
Gu Siyan pointed at Mu Xu Xi. "Apologize to Zhizhi."
Mu Xu Xi gave him a sidelong glance, then lifted her foot and drove her stiletto heel into him with a vicious kick.
"Who do you think you are, ordering me around?"
Gu Siyan clutched the spot she had kicked and sank to his knees, cold sweat breaking out across his forehead.
Mu Xu Ci and Yan Wen openly gave Mu Xu Xi a thumbs-up.
Xiao Qi said, Host, I've compiled the evidence and sent it to your phone. Please check it.
Yan Wen took out his phone, asked Qin Yue for her email address, and sent her all the evidence.
Qin Yue opened it. Her expression darkened with every item she viewed. "Are you sure all these videos are real?"
Yan Wen nodded. "You can have someone verify them. If any of it is fake, I'll work as a servant for the Qin Family."
Qin Yue smiled. "I believe you. Thank you. Eldest Brother, this evidence is enough to ruin Gu Siyan."
Qin Yu nodded. "Leave the rest to me. Just wait at home for the good news from Eldest Brother. Thank you, everyone. When I have the time, I'll be sure to visit and thank you properly."
Gu Siyan roared, "This is my family business! You have no right to interfere! Where's security? Security! Throw these people out!"
Yan Wen looked at him as though he were an idiot. "When you run into the other employees later, feel free to ask them who we are. You can go clear out now. This company has no room for someone like you. What if you betray the company someday?"
Gu Siyan grasped at his last lifeline. "No, you can't just fire me. I'm the company president. My abilities can bring the company limitless profits."
Mu Xu Ci, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke. "People more capable than you are a dime a dozen. As long as we pay enough, we'll have no trouble finding one."
Gu Siyan crawled over and grabbed Qin Yue's hand. "Yueyue, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. Give me one more chance. I'll treat you well from now on, I promise. Help me. Put in a good word for me. I can't lose this job."
Qin Yue shook him off. "This is what you deserve, Gu Siyan. You should have known this day would come."
Xiao Qi cheered. Host, you earned a thousand points from watching this drama! The system has updated again!
What feature got upgraded?
Well... that's a secret!
Playing mysterious with me now, are you?
A light rain pattered outside, and moths fluttered around the streetlights.
Mu Xu Xi gave Mu Xingfeng and Xie Yunshu a vivid account of what had happened in the president's office.
Mu Xingfeng frowned and sighed. "I never imagined we had someone like that in the company. Good thing we found out in time. Otherwise, who knows whether he might have betrayed the company down the line?"
Xie Yunshu felt for her. "Poor Miss Qin. Still, thank goodness you were there to help her."
"On average, we each gave Gu Siyan a slap, and I kicked him too. Judging by his expression, I think he's ruined for life."
Mu Xingfeng said, "Now that the president's position is vacant, we need to find a suitable candidate as soon as possible."
Yan Wen asked Xiao Qi, Who in my dad's company do you think could handle the job?
Xiao Qi ran a search. Host, there's currently no suitable candidate in the company. However, a new employee named Song Jing'an will join in a month. He's exceptionally capable and will bring the company substantial profits in the future. He'll work at the Mu Group for forty years and become one of its key veterans.
Mu Xingfeng held his teacup. Song Jing'an? He committed the name to memory.
Forty years. That's some serious perseverance and drive. I'd struggle to manage fourteen.
The Qin Family villa
Qin Yu had just returned. His second younger brother, Qin Xiao, and their third younger sister, Qin Yue, were waiting on the sofa.
"Eldest Brother, how did it go?"
"It's all settled. Gu Siyan walked away from the divorce with nothing. He didn't get a thing, and the Mu Group fired him too. He has nothing left now."
Qin Yue stroked her belly. "It's all thanks to that young man. Otherwise, who knows how long I would've been kept in the dark?"
Qin Yu smiled. "You mean his inner voice?"
Qin Yue looked surprised. "Eldest Brother, you could hear it too?"
Qin Yu nodded. "And he's the youngest son the Mu Family found recently."
Understanding dawned on Qin Yue. "So he's the youngest son the Mu Family found. I thought he was just a close friend of theirs."
Qin Xiao interrupted them. "Wait, wait, wait. What are you talking about? What inner voice? What do you mean?"
"Xiao, it's hard to explain right now. Maybe you'll understand someday."
"Fine, keep it to yourselves."
Qin Yue chuckled, then said, "Yu, I need to go to the hospital tomorrow. Sorry for leaving you to handle everything else."
"You're my sister. There's no need to apologize."
"Yueyue, why are you going to the hospital? Are you feeling unwell? I'll go with you tomorrow."
"I'm not feeling unwell. I'm going to have the baby checked. Xiao, you're going to be an uncle."
"Really?! Then what are you standing around for? Come on, sit down, sit down. Tomorrow I'll have the kitchen stew some sea cucumber to build up your strength. I wonder if it'll be a nephew or a niece."
Qin Yue gently stroked her belly. "Boy or girl, this is my child. I'll raise the baby well. Oh, Yu, about Ran Zhizhi..."
Qin Yu said, "The people I sent to follow them said she had a huge fight with Gu Siyan. He slapped her, putting her in the hospital. Her health was too poor, and she lost the baby. The police took Gu Siyan away. They got what they deserved."
Qin Yue nodded. "If I run into them again someday, I'll be sure to thank them properly."
"You will. Isn't the semiannual auction coming up in three months? The Mu Family attends every time."
