Chapter 995: The Cold-Hearted Overbearing CEO's Resentful Butler 08

~6 min read 1,182 words

Jin Chen wore an expression as if this were a good thing, took the check, and solemnly and firmly promised, "I will definitely take good care of Gu CEO." This was originally my job.

Old Master Gu was satisfied with his promise, waved his hand, and let him go find Gu Han.

Jin Chen had just walked in not long when Gu Yeting called out to stop him again.

He slipped the check into his pocket, thinking wealth had come knocking again.

"Your name is Jin Chen, right?"

Jin Chen smiled and said, "Yes, Uncle Gu."

Gu Yeting held a cigar between his fingers, glanced at Jin Chen's outfit a few times, clearly looking down on it.

"As a kept lover, you don't even have decent clothes—is this how Gu Han treats you?"

Jin Chen kept smiling, "This…… Gu CEO treats me very well."

It's purely that his own taste used to be problematic.

But this moment of hesitation made Gu Yeting think he had unspeakable suffering, and he bluntly said, "You also need to see the situation clearly—you're just a lover, and for Gu Han, you can be discarded at any time."

Bullshit about your father.

Jin Chen cooperatively lowered his head, looking dejected.

"This is my business card, along with a check for two million; I hope you can judge the situation and understand my meaning."

"Even if Gu Han pampers you, how long can that last? It'd be better to help me pull off a big score."

Several seconds later, Jin Chen slowly took the business card, putting on a show of hesitation.

After Gu Yeting left satisfied, Jin Chen slowly straightened up and glanced at the garden pavilion's surveillance.

【0731, cut this surveillance footage.】

【Got it!】

Shameless, trying to harm him with only two million.

Later, this check also needs to be used together to prove Ba Zong's innocence.

Jin Chen continued toward the front yard, planning to go ahead and file a complaint against his own Ba Zong.

"Mr. Jin, the Second Madam requests your presence," a servant said as they approached.

Jin Chen's steps halted.

Even my first love is looking for me!

"Lead the way."

By the front yard's scenic koi pond pavilion.

After dinner, Bai Yunyue changed into a refined, otherworldly Chinese-style shirt, leisurely sat by the railing drinking tea; hearing the sound, she lifted her head, smiled at Jin Chen, a beauty that could topple cities, her voice gentle: "Don't be nervous, have a seat."

Jin Chen sat down on the other side and asked, "What do you need me for?"

While speaking, there was doubt, mixed with just the right amount of caution.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yunyue could tell this kid probably knows about Gu Han… sigh.

"When did you and Xiao Han get together?"

Good question, let me make something up.

Jin Chen thought for two seconds and replied, "It's been a while."

Bai Yunyue didn't press further, lowering her gaze to watch the koi fish swimming in the pond.

"Today I've seen how you get along—Xiao Han's temper has worsened a bit… but his nature isn't bad, and he was raised spoiled by the Gu family."

"Xiao Han has to manage the whole conglomerate, often getting so busy he forgets to rest; since he chose you, you should also look after him more from now on."

Saying that, he lived up to Jin Chen's expectation by pulling out a check from his shirt.

"I am Xiao Han's elder; this counts as a meeting gift for you."

Jin Chen glanced at the check.

First, the money you and Gu Yeting gave as a couple is quite in sync.

Second.

"So… is this being done in the name of Xiao Han's aunt's father, or… in the name of Gu Han's former first love?"

After asking, Jin Chen lifted his gaze to stare directly at Bai Yunyue.

He of course knew it couldn't be the latter; he just wanted to test Bai Yunyue herself to see whether she was willing to tell Gu Han the truth.

Or maybe he just wanted to let the misunderstanding continue.

Bai Yunyue awkwardly pressed her lips, "Actually I……"

He paused, then sighed.

"It is in the name of Xiao Han's aunt's father."

That matter must not be known by anyone.

Jin Chen took the check, was about to speak, but out of the corner of his eye he saw Gu Han walking over.

Jin Chen's breath caught; he hurriedly pushed the check back and loudly promised, "I will take good care of Gu CEO, you don't need to worry."

Damn, being seen taking a check by the boss is unbearable!

Following the boss's story tropes, not tormenting for a hundred chapters wouldn't make things clear!

Gu Han happened to hear this, frowned, and quickly walked over.

"You had someone else take care of me?"

Jin Chen raised an eyebrow.

"Others, me?"

Bai Yunyue heard Gu Han's voice, pressed her temples in headache, helplessly turned to watch him approach.

"Xiao Han, I am your elder."

It wasn't like that before I returned to the country this time.

Gu Han walked up to him, looking down at Bai Yunyue's hateful face, and said, "Or are you saying you've already been together with Gu Yeting?"

Bai Yunyue set down her teacup, slowly nodded, and said, "Yes, I have been married to Gu Yeting for many years."

Indeed, that's the case...

Gu Han clenched his fists angrily, "Then what was all your concern for me before?"

The only person present who knew the truth, Jin Chen, felt awkward, his fingers frantically scratching the railing.

What is this? Fatherly love? Your brain circuits are weird.

"Xiao Han, this is the Gu Family."

Bai Yunyue interrupted him sharply, "I am... I am your father-in-law."

"Before, I treated you well because I knew you were Gu Yeting's nephew."

Bai Yunyue rose, adjusted her clothes, her expression grim, and said, "From now on, in the old residence, choose your words and actions carefully." Then she left quickly.

Jin Chen glanced up at him furtively, hurriedly trying to clear his name, "Sir, I didn't initiate talking to him."

Don't blame me!

Gu Han was still angry, speaking without restraint, "Do you want me to praise you? Why didn't you accept the check? For you, that's also a substantial income."

"You clearly know I reject them, yet you dare to chat alone with Bai Yunyue?"

Jin Chen pressed his lips, remained silent, stood up, and handed his business card to Gu Han, "Before this, your uncle also came to talk to me alone; this is his business card and check."

Then Jin Chen repeated Gu Yeting's words, watching Gu Han's face grow colder, he said aloofly, "I haven't agreed to anything, please rest assured, sir."

"As for them coming to find me, as a lover I cannot refuse the elders' talk."

Gu Han took the check and business card, threw them both into the trash, his mind full of wanting to quickly settle things with Gu Yeting.

"Go home."

His tone was harsh, he strode forward.
