Guide to raise my cutie husbands

Chapter 417 Might be a victim

" Did the deal go all right?" asked Gu Ke Jin as she walked into Yu Dong's office, from the looks of it, the deal seemed to have been successful since Jiang Fenhua took a few boxes of berries with him but from Yu Dong's expression it didn't look like the deal was much of a success, so did she give Jiang Fenhua those boxes as a complimentary gift?

Like, thank you for coming to our bar? Something like that?

" It was all right," said Yu Dong as she straightened up in her chair and looked at Gu Ke Jin who was standing in front of her table. " I think it went all right," she repeated as she nursed her forehead, the throbbing from earlier seemed to have become even worse than before now it felt like countless mini Chen Mi's were dancing on top of her head.

Chen Mi: "….." So, you want to say I am your headache huh? Huh? Huhhhhh?

Gu Ke Jin stared at her boss who was 'oohing' and 'ahhing' as if she was thinking about something but could not decide what she wanted to think about.

" Miss Dong are you okay?" After watching Yu Dong tug at her hair and roll on the table with an annoyed expression, Gu Ke Jin couldn't stop herself from asking. " You seem a little distracted?"

" Am I?" said Yu Dong as she raised her head slightly and then banged it on the table once again. " You are right, I am distracted. In fact, it would be better to say that I am more disturbed than distracted."

" But why?" Gu Ke Jin walked towards Yu Dong's table and then planted the palms of her hands on the top before saying, " Didn't you say the meeting went all right?"

" It went all right,"

" Then what's the point of you sighing like you have been robbed of peace?"

Yu Dong raised her head once again and then ran a hand through her hair as she looked at Gu Ke Jin and asked, " Ke Jin, you have been living among the officials, aren't you? From what I heard your elder brother is married to a big official of the town?"

" That's right, he is married to the Yamen ministry officer," answered Gu Ke Jin but then she paused and looked at Yu Dong who seemed a bit distracted. Did Jiang Fenhua threaten her? Or was the contract so one-sided that Yu Dong was actually thinking of getting backing for herself? When Gu Ke Jin thought like that she couldn't help but get even more excited to help Yu Dong, if her idol was being threatened then she will do everything in her power to save her!

With that thought in her head, Gu Ke Jin immediately said, " Don't worry Miss Yu! I will dedicate my life to saving you and even get my brother to do the same!"

"For what?" startled by Gu Ke Jin's sudden exclamation, Yu Dong looked at her in confusion. " What are you dedicating your life to me for?"

" You are in trouble aren't you?" said Gu Ke Jin as she slightly tilted her head. " That's why you want someone from the big official family so that you can fight against Master Jiang who bullied you into submitting to his will, right?"

' Are they living in a noon drama? Where she was a damsel in distress and Jiang Fenhua was a mafia guy bullying her?'

Looking at how rich the imagination of her manager was Yu Dong decided that she will get Gu Ke Jin to write a few stories that they will be able to tell their customers in the noon as they did it in the tea house.

"It's nothing like that," said Yu Dong as she waved her hand and looked at Gu Ke Jin. "It's not that serious, I just wanted to know whether or not the rumours circulating around Master Jiang are true or not? Did he really climb into Qiao Sha's bed and got pregnant to get a firm foothold in the Qiao household?"

Yu Dong too believed in the rumours till now given that they have been spreading around the town like an uncontrollable virus.

" Well——"

" Of course, they are just rumours," said Xiao Hua before Gu Ke Jin could say anything, he walked inside the office and sauntered in front of Yu Dong's table before taking a seat and since he was more of a co-partner than a worker he did not have to wait for Yu Dong to permit him to sit down. " According to the rumours the notorious master Jiang got Lady Qiao drunk and then dragged her to his bed before taking advantage of the situation, because of his shameless luck, he was able to get pregnant with Qiao Sha's child in one go and thus entered the Qiao house since Old matriarch Qiao was upset with Zhou Ming's silent womb that didn't give their family any news for so many years. That's what the rumours are, the one that is spreading around the town and because Lady Qiao has never tried to stop them many people have started to believe that it's the truth but there is another rumour."

" Another rumour?" mused Yu Dong as she looked at Xiao Hua who looked like his gossiping soul has been lit up, he leaned forward causing her and Gu Ke Jin to close into him as well before he conspiratorially spoke, " Every rumour has two sides, that was just one of it … the other one goes like this—— it wasn't Jiang Fenhua who seduced Lady Qiao but it was Lady Jiang who wanted a quick success in her struggle, so she called Qiao Sha to her house and got her drunk before taking her to her son's room and leaving her there. According to this rumour, Jiang Fenhua wasn't the culprit behind the scenes but he was instead the victim, and if this half of the rumour is true then there is a chance that Master Jiang was forced by Lady Qiao."

A/n: thank you all for your kind words, I am not in a good place but I will be someday.
