The giggles and laughter of two girls came from the inner room. They must have been having a good time in there. When Xie Ru came out and saw Gu Liao staring at the Chanel bag, she was puzzled.
"Oh, I was wondering who had returned. It turns out it's Young Master Gu."
"Miss He."
"Tsk, you guys chat. I won't disturb you."
He Youying waved her hand before whispering in Xie Ru's ear to cheer her on before leaving.
"You came back very-"
Before she could finish, Xie Ru's eyes were suddenly covered by Gu Liao's large palm, and all her words were trapped in her mouth. Her breath was taken away as they heard the sound of a fading screech. He Youying must have left the villa.
"Big Brother, where's Sister-in-Law? Why didn't she come down?"
"Where's all this nonsense coming from?"
Gu Liao's cold gaze shot over, and Gu Zhe instantly became like a quail, his entire face buried in his rice bowl. Seeing this, Aunt Chen smiled and went to the kitchen to prepare some light food.
"Sister-in-Law must be really happy. Aunt Chen gives her special treatment but never for me."
"When the second young master has a wife, Aunt Chen will give you special treatment too."
"Really?"
Gu Zhe's eyes suddenly widened. Only then did he realize the meaning behind Aunt Chen's words. He looked at Gu Liao with disdain. No wonder he came back so early today. It turned out that he had a motive.
Compared to Gu Zhe, Gu Liao had a myriad of thoughts. Was Xie Ru really Miss X? Now that he thought about it, every time he met Miss X, Xie Ru would disappear.
The most critical clue was the Chanel bag that he made especially for Xie Ru. Back when he met Miss X, he had been so worried about Xie Ru's disappearance that he failed to notice if Miss X had the bag on her.
Could it be...?
But Xie Ru's eyes could not see, unless she had been faking it from the start. This was the only way to explain her various actions, but how could he explain what he and Yunhua had witnessed when they first tested her?
Xie Ru looked at the ceiling above her head and suddenly smiled. Gu Liao had actually noticed.
However, how did Gu Liao discover that she was pretending to be blind?
"Xie Ru, Grandpa Xie said that he would let you work in Xie Corporation."
"But, I can't see."
Gu Liao rubbed Xie Ru's head as if nothing was wrong. "It's okay. It's just a nominal position. It doesn't require heavy work. Otherwise, your second uncle wouldn't have agreed to let you work in Xie Corporation."
"Okay, thank you."
"However, don't go to the detective agency to investigate the Xie family in the future."
Xie Ru nodded, though a little confused. Had she been mistaken? It seemed that Gu Liao hadn't realized that she was pretending to be blind after all. Otherwise, why didn't he ask? Was he afraid that she wouldn't tell him the truth if he did?
However, things were still within her plans. What she wanted was a reason to enter Xie Corporation. And it seemed only Gu Liao's words would be the most effective. As expected.
Gu Liao was not sure of Xie Ru's identity yet, so he naturally did not dare to act rashly. If his identity as Q was exposed, the loss would not be worth it.
"Xie Ru, going to the Xie Corporation building is like going into your own home. You don't have to be too polite or cautious. If anyone bullies you, tell Second Uncle. Second Uncle will help you get back at them."
"Okay, Second Uncle. Don't worry."
When she stepped into the building, Xie Ru felt extremely relaxed.
"This is Manager Zhang, and this is Xie Ru, the young lady of the Xie family. She will be working under you from now on. Don't give her any heavy work on weekdays."
"Yes, President Xie."
Xie Zhen nodded. He looked at the watch on his wrist and said, "Xie Ru, Second Uncle has a meeting to attend later. I'll leave first. Take care of yourself."
"Okay."
Xie Ru looked at Xie Zhen's back and smiled at Manager Zhang. This must be Xie Zhen's senior lackey. Her second uncle must have arranged for her to stay by this person's side so that he could monitor her well.
They didn't think too much about whether she was truly blind. Her ability to see was just a theory to others at that point.
It seemed that she must have still been in shock since her grandfather's banquet. She was still really timid.
