Chapter 53 The First Step in Winning Over Your Wife: Winning Over Your Mother-in-Law
"The way I look at you is different, don't you notice?" Gu Ye leaned closer to Chu Xinglan and said gently.
"Really?" Chu Xinglan was skeptical.
"Fool!" Gu Ye flicked Chu Xinglan's forehead with his finger. "No one can replace you in my heart, not even Ye Xiaoxiao."
Chu Xinglan's face flushed crimson instantly, and she hurriedly pushed Gu Ye away.
He charmed me again; he's so good at flirting, I just can't resist.
"Also, Ye Xiaoxiao is Xue Bai's future wife, and has nothing to do with me," Gu Ye explained.
Chu Xinglan was stunned.
"What do you mean?"
"Xue Bai is pursuing Ye Xiaoxiao!" That was all Gu Ye could tell her.
"But Ye Xiaoxiao, she..." Chu Xinglan didn't finish her sentence.
Although Chairman Ye said that Ye Xiaoxiao should get close to Gu Ye and win his favor, she would also gain his favor if she became the wife of Gu Ye's capable assistant...
"Xue Bai and Ye Xiaoxiao... seem quite interesting!" Chu Xinglan said with a hint of delight.
"Are you still jealous?" Gu Ye lifted her chin with his hand.
"Who's jealous? I'm not jealous at all." Chu Xinglan quickly pushed Gu Ye away, turned around and ran out of Gu Ye's office.
Gu Ye watched Chu Xinglan's retreating figure with a smile on his lips.
"From now on, you'll be in charge of copying documents." Xue Bai led Ye Xiaoxiao to an empty seat and explained her tasks. "Do you know how to use a computer?"
Is she just a pretty face? She can't actually do anything.
"No problem, OK!" Xue Bai's suspicious gaze made Ye Xiaoxiao very dissatisfied.
"That's good!" Xue Bai nodded in satisfaction.
Thinking of Gu Ye's words, he couldn't help but focus his gaze heavily on Ye Xiaoxiao.
Is she really his future wife? If his wife looks like this, ending his single life isn't out of the question.
Seriously, what's going on? He actually took the boss's joke seriously.
"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a beautiful woman before? You old pervert!" Ye Xiaoxiao felt uncomfortable being stared at by Xue Bai. She felt like a hedgehog covered in thorns, and she wouldn't be happy unless she pricked Xue Bai hard.
They weren't the only ones there; there were other people too, and everyone was looking over here curiously.
This woman is too arrogant! She doesn't even respect Assistant Xue. This is the first time they've seen Assistant Xue get the short end of the stick.
However, Xue Bai, who was scolded, was not angry. He was only concerned about Ye Xiaoxiao's words about him being a "pervert."
Everyone loves beauty. She's pretty, so what's wrong with him glancing at her a few more times? But he absolutely disagrees with her calling herself a lecherous old man.
"I'm not even thirty yet, how can I be old?" Xue Bai wanted to clarify things for himself. He absolutely couldn't let his future wife think he was too old, what if she disliked him?
"You're almost thirty, how come you're not old?" Ye Xiaoxiao sneered.
Xue Bai was speechless for a moment.
"Boss, are you sure that Ye Xiaoxiao is my future wife? We don't get along." Xue Bai ran into Gu Ye's office, closed the door, and began to complain.
"As the saying goes, if you can win over the mother-in-law, you can win over any woman. If you want to win over Ye Xiaoxiao, then go and win over your mother-in-law," Gu Ye said calmly without looking up.
“That makes sense.” Xue Bai snapped his fingers. “I’ll go and win over my mother-in-law right now.”
"Do you know where your mother-in-law is?" Gu Ye looked up.
"Of course it's at the Ye family's." Xue Bai didn't sense anything wrong with it.
"You seem to have forgotten that Ye Xiaoxiao is the Ye family's illegitimate daughter, not Mrs. Ye's biological daughter. Do you think a strong-willed woman like Mrs. Ye would allow a second woman to stay in the Ye family?" Gu Ye retorted.
Gu Ye's words suddenly awakened Xue Bai, and he looked at Gu Ye with a ulterior motive.
"So, does the boss know where my future mother-in-law is?"
"I know." Gu Ye nodded without hesitation.
"Boss, tell me quickly, where is my mother-in-law now?" Xue Bai asked anxiously.
"Don't forget it's working hours now!" Gu Ye's expression darkened.
"I'm going home from get off work, boss. Please grant me my wish, considering how hard I've worked for you and Miss Chu." Xue Bai clasped his hands together, pleading.
She's at St. Mary's Hospital!
"At the hospital? What happened to my mother-in-law?" Xue Bai asked hurriedly.
"She has a rare disease and has to be kept alive with medication. It's like she's constantly burning money just to stay alive."
"Is it really that exaggerated?" Xue Bai stared at Gu Ye, then added, "How am I supposed to handle her like this? This is not a good situation."
"As long as you are willing to spend money to prolong her life, Ye Xiaoxiao will definitely not refuse your kindness."
"Spending money is no problem, but doesn't she have the Ye family behind her?" Xue Bai wondered.
"How could Ye Qingyun really extend her life? Even if he did, there would only be conditions."
Gu Ye glanced at Xue Bai.
"Conditions? What conditions? What conditions could a woman with nothing have that would make Ye Qingyun extend her life?" Xue Bai was getting more and more confused.
"She may not have any useful value, but don't forget, she has a daughter."
"Ye Xiaoxiao? What does this have to do with Ye Xiaoxiao?"
"Have you ever wondered why Ye Xiaoxiao is here?" Gu Ye patiently asked Xue Bai.
Xue Bai suddenly realized, and he said incredulously, "Ye Qingyun's condition is that Ye Xiaoxiao has to get close to you. As long as Ye Xiaoxiao does what he says, he will be willing to extend Ye Xiaoxiao's mother's life?"
“That’s right!” Gu Ye nodded.
"Ye Xiaoxiao wouldn't just stand by and watch her mother die, so she had no choice but to be manipulated by Ye Qingyun." Xue Bai suddenly felt sorry for his future wife. How could she have such a bastard father?
"If you are willing to extend Ye Xiaoxiao's mother's life, she will no longer be at Ye Qingyun's mercy."
In her past life, Ye Qingyun withdrew his payment for Ye Xiaoxiao's mother's medical expenses, which led to her mother's death. Ye Xiaoxiao became self-destructive and resorted to having sex with random men. Fortunately, she met Xue Bai, who doted on her for life, otherwise her life would have been ruined.
"But if that happens... won't she feel like I'm threatening her with the same thing?" Xue Bai was troubled.
"Whether it's a threat or genuine affection, that's up to you!" Gu Ye said, leaving the matter at that.
"Got it, boss." Xue Bai smiled happily. "It has to be you, boss. Although you're also a novice in love, you acted so smoothly and skillfully." Xue Bai gave Gu Ye a thumbs up.
How could someone who has lived two lives not be experienced?
"Work properly during work hours, and do whatever you want after get off work." Gu Ye lowered his head and continued reviewing documents.
"Okay, boss!" Xue Bai said enthusiastically, smiling as he left Gu Ye's office.
Gu Ye raised his head, resting his chin on his hand as he pondered.
I never expected that just because he said that, he would actually start pursuing his wife. It seems I need to speed things up.
