98: To Ride His Coattails

To Ride His Coattails

The car drove, and she pressed her pale red lips together, her eyes filled with the scenery that went past her.1

She got out of the car and placed her hand above her eyes. How high was this building? It was probably about 20 stories. This was the first time she was here… and also the first time she was near his business kingdom. Standing here, she had no courage to walk forwards.

She did not know whether she was worried or scared. It was ridiculous. The wife of the president of the Chu Group was scared of seeing her husband's company.

Her hands on either side of her body clenched into fists lightly, her fingernails digging into her palms. The pain made her head clearer and gave her a sliver of courage.

She walked into the lobby. There were not a lot of people, but everything inside was orderly. There were two elevators inside, with people walking out of them occasionally.

She walked forward but was stopped by someone.

"I'm sorry, non-employees are not allowed to enter the elevators." A calm and polite voice made her stop her steps.

Xia Ruoxin touched her lip—which had lost color—lightly. What identity would she use? A wife who has been through hard times? Pathetic. She probably had not experienced anything bad.

"I'm looking for Chu Lui." She raised her eyes and stared at the front without blinking.

The guy clad in the security uniform was looking at her strangely, trying to size her up for a long time. "You're looking for our president, but can I ask for your identification? This kind of things happens to this company a lot. Women come looking for the superior big boss, and it's obvious what they want. They just want to ride his extravagant coattail."

Xia Ruoxin was silent for a second, and then after a while, she raised her head and said slowly, "I am his wife."

When she said this sentence, it made her have a certain sense of sadness. This was her. She was blocked from just even seeing her husband.

The security guard retracted his hand and looked at Xia Ruoxin from top to bottom. She didn't look like the CEO's wife. He took another close look again. She really started to look like the woman in the newspapers.

He hesitated. He still did not figure out whether she was the real deal. After all, they had never seen what the president's wife looked like with their own eyes.

Du Jingtang held his documents in one hand, taking a bite from the burger on the other hand. He was not to blame; the Chu Group was really not a place for humans to stay. Women were treated like men, and men were treated less than humans. He was definitely not a machine, and he had not eaten since morning. The large amount of work he had to do caused him to be eating a hamburger here pathetically.

"Oh?" He stopped and stretched his neck to look at the woman who was refusing to budge from the security guard. That face was so familiar. He wolfed down half a bite of the burger and patted his chest with a great force; he almost choked.

He took a step forward again and then put down the burger in his hand. It was really her, but why was she here? His usually blithe expression became more serious at that moment.

He walked closer and asked carefully, "Cousin-in-law, why are you here? Looking for my cousin?" He waved at the security guard at the side, gesturing that he would take over from here.

When the security guard walked away, he gave another strange look at Xia Ruoxin. So it was the president's wife. Since the vice-president knows her, it should be correct.

Then, who was the woman who always came here with the president? He thought for a little while but could only shake his head in the end. It was none of his business; he was only an ordinary security guard.
