Chapter 33 - She Has No Place in His Heart_1

With a "bang", the office door was suddenly flung open by Eleven.

The person inside jumped with fright, shouting sternly: "Fang Eleven! Don’t you have any manners? Do you know nothing about knocking?"

Was she being a little overexcited?

Eleven silently retreated, closed the door, and began again.

"Come in!"

"Gu——" the rest of the sentence faded away as her mouth formed a fixed shape.

She froze because the person who came wasn’t Gu Liancheng, but his assistant, Su Bai.

Eleven, who was about to burst out the word "Su", was stopped by Su Bai, "Eleven, come over!"

"Oh... Oh!" Eleven was pulled along by stern Su Bai in a daze, because she didn’t yet know what role Su Bai was playing.

Su Bai wouldn’t call her Eleven. Even though he and Su Qing knew her real relationship with Gu Liancheng, they would still respectfully call her Madam. Gu Liancheng had always accepted this, never correcting them.

"Fang Eleven, you clearly have a brother, so why didn’t you fill in any family information at first? Did you lie that you were an orphan to gain public sympathy?"

Brother?

Eleven turned to Su Bai, just hearing him say, "It is like this, teacher, I am her distant cousin. Just moved to Xicheng in recent months, haven’t seen her for over a decade."

The question did not continue.

"Let’s get back to the main topic, the problem with your cousin is really serious."

"How serious is it?" Eleven chuckled and made a sarcastic remark, "Isn’t it just that I didn’t hand in the paper?" as if she had committed some atrocious crime like arson or murder.

"Shut up!" Su Bai put on a big brother’s demeanor and slapped her on the head, "Students should behave like students, how could you not hand in the paper? Why didn’t you hand in the paper?"

Eleven was stunned by his slap, glaring at him: Su Da Bai! You hit me?

Su Bai immediately made faces at her.

Eleven took a deep breath, and held it in!

"Why I didn’t hand in the paper... Su——brother, you should go back and ask your boss——"

As she was about to say she would make it up, the teacher mentioned something about the importance of time management and so on...

Su Bai continued to make faces at her.

The teacher did not understand: "Fang Eleven, you didn’t hand in the paper, why do you need to ask your brother’s boss?"

"Because——Hmm!"

Before Eleven could continue, Su Bai clamped her mouth shut and made her bow down: "I’m sorry, teacher! We’ll make sure Eleven knows she was wrong when she gets back, I promise there won’t be a next time!"

"As for the paper, we can skip it for now. But Fang Eleven’s brother, the most important thing is that your sister’s lifestyle is problematic..."

After hearing that story, Su Bai was stunned.

And just like Eleven, it was like swallowing a bitter pill. He could not say that the person standing next to him was actually the CEO’s wife.

...

After walking a good distance from the office, Eleven finally broke free.

"Big White! Were you trying to suffocate me?"

"I’m sorry, Madam!" Su Bai immediately bowed, "I was just trying to make the act seem more believable!"

"Is no one telling me why the paper wasn’t handed in? Didn’t your boss tell you? If it weren’t for him... Forget it! Why did you come? Where is he?" Eleven couldn’t be bothered to argue with him.

"The thing is, Madam, the boss couldn’t come. His face... hehe, you know it too, right? He gets recognized too easily!"

Eleven held her mouth, not pleased.

"It seems they were right in saying that I don’t hold any position in your boss’s eyes."

"No, it’s not like that! Must not be!" Su Bai was anxiously denying it, "Madam, you absolutely take the top spot in the boss’s heart!"

"Good at buttering up!"
