In the office:
Gu Nian listened to Jing Rui's words, her thoughts a bit scattered as she swiftly recovered her composure from the surprise and struggled to control her emotions, speaking deliberately and methodically.
"Be your woman?"
Gu Nian asked the question, then laughed lightly and waved it off as a joke.
"That's funny, Mr. Jing really is joking. The Jing Family is too prestigious for me; I'm not worthy."
If it was said that the Fu Family's roots were honorable and they highly valued their reputation,
the Jing Family was not much different...
It's still the same, the Jing Family's power reaches the skies, extending over politics and business. Any of the Jing Family's members were not someone the Gu Family could afford to provoke.
Gu Nian believed that three years ago, she had destroyed her own reputation thoroughly, so she knew that Jing Rui was serious and not joking, taking the initiative to reveal her shortcomings first.
