Chapter 1291: No Skill Needed at All

Chapter 1291: Chapter 1291: No Skill Needed at All

Ye Ning was completely unconvinced by what Zhao Gushen said.

How was she brainless?

She’d always thought she was especially smart.

"The password for your house, where are the things in the study? In the safe?" Zhao Gushen asked.

"They’re in the safe." Right now Ye Ning answered everything Zhao Gushen asked, not daring to play any tricks.

It was mainly that she couldn’t lie.

There were so many people around Zhao Gushen here, he could just grab someone to go check and he’d know whether she was telling the truth.

So lying was completely pointless.

In front of Zhao Gushen, no kind of scheming would work.

"The password for your door lock at home." Zhao Gushen said.

Ye Ning was slightly surprised that Zhao Gushen even knew they used a fingerprint lock at home.

So Zhao Gushen had already sent people to keep an eye on their place?

What Ye Ning didn’t know was that Zhao Gushen really had sent someone to watch.

But even if he hadn’t, most households nowadays had already switched to fingerprint locks.

Especially someone like Xu Huizhen, who valued money more than her life; of course she’d switch to the most secure lock.

So Ye Ning told Zhao Gushen a set of numbers.

Zhao Gushen tilted his head to look at his sidekick.

Sidekick: "Got it!"

The sidekick immediately sent someone to deal with it.

And Zhao Gushen still kept people in the room, guarding Ye Ning.

Ye Ning’s ass was hurting from sitting, and her waist ached badly too.

She even wanted to ask Zhao Gushen, he’d just finished the wedding, didn’t he need to go keep Ye Fei company?

Just stay here and stare at her?

The moment she thought of Ye Fei, jealousy surged uncontrollably in Ye Ning’s heart.

Her heart felt so sour that the acid seemed to rise all the way up to her mouth, like she could literally taste it.

Why was Ye Fei’s life so smooth—back then, by some freak accident she ended up sleeping with a man.

And the man she slept with just happened to be Zhao Gushen.

That alone was enough—most people in that situation can only suck it up and consider themselves unlucky.

But Ye Fei just had to run into Zhao Gushen again later, and Zhao Gushen actually took responsibility for it and married her.

And the Zhao Family even agreed, without making things difficult at all.

In Ye Ning’s eyes, Ye Fei’s entire life was ridiculously smooth, like she’d never run into a single real setback.

When they were kids at home, even though Xu Huizhen treated her badly, Ye Fei’s grades were good.

At school, even if she only focused on studying and didn’t have many friends, no one picked on her or gossiped about her.

The teachers liked her too.

Teachers always like good students.

Ye Fei did well in the college entrance exam, and even though Xu Huizhen changed her application and schemed against her.

Ye Fei still managed to turn misfortune into a blessing and got to know Zhao Gushen.

And this man she’d met by accident actually wanted to take responsibility.

If nothing else, just in this one aspect, he was pretty upright.

And even when she ran off to City B on her own, there were people helping her along the way.

That Li Xiaoyun, that head chef.

She even became a food blogger and made so much money.

Ye Ning just wiped out all the hardship Ye Fei had gone through and only saw the good parts of Ye Fei’s life.

She never stopped to think that all of Ye Fei’s success came from her gritting her teeth through suffering and exhaustion and fighting for it.

Just as she was thinking this, Zhao Gushen stood up.

"Tape her mouth. Let me know when there’s any update." Zhao Gushen said.

He still had to hurry back to keep Ye Fei company.

He had no interest in sitting here and having a staring contest with Ye Ning.

With Ye Fei there but not keeping her company, and instead staying here with Ye Ning—what kind of logic was that?

Besides, the longer he looked at Ye Ning, the more disgusted he felt.

"Yes." The sidekick immediately went to open the door for Zhao Gushen. "Don’t worry, the moment there’s news, I’ll inform you right away."

Zhao Gushen nodded and left.

Even though the situation right now wasn’t exactly great and it wasn’t the time to be daydreaming.

Ye Ning still couldn’t help thinking about what kind of people were around Zhao Gushen.

It’s not that you can’t flatter the boss.

But the way they sucked up to him had zero skill.

It was so blunt and crude, with not a shred of subtlety.

She really didn’t know how Zhao Gushen could stand it.

But once the sidekick closed the door, his expression changed completely.

Or more accurately, he had no expression at all.

Gone was the fawning, bootlicking look he’d had in front of Zhao Gushen just now.

Of course—Zhao Gushen wasn’t here, so who was he supposed to suck up to?

Facing Ye Ning, there was no need to even put on a smile.

The sidekick instantly turned into a cold, ruthless type.

"Seal her mouth." the sidekick said.

Even though Ye Ning might not necessarily talk, since Zhao Gushen had given the order, it had to be done.

Besides, he genuinely didn’t like listening to Ye Ning’s voice.

So someone came over and taped Ye Ning’s mouth again.

Ye Ning: "..."

The sidekick sat down on the chair Ye Dezhang had been sitting in earlier, staring at Ye Ning.

Ye Ning really wanted to ask what the sidekick was staring at her for like that.

But her mouth was taped, so she couldn’t say anything.

Still, being stared at like that by the sidekick made Ye Ning extremely uncomfortable.

Anyone would feel uneasy being stared at by someone who doesn’t move, whose gaze never shifts away, not even for a second.
