To think, when a husband punishes his wife, isn’t he supposed to carry her into the room and really give it to her?
But Mr. Gu is different.
He punishes his wife by making her copy "Three Hundred Tang Poems" and doing "Olympiad Math" problems. He’s truly one of a kind among husbands!
Tang Haolang really wants to laugh, but doesn’t dare!
He knows that if he offends Mu Anhan, he won’t have any good outcomes.
If he also offends Gu Xiaozhan, it’s like the fireworks in the Middle East are waiting to launch right when he arrives.
Tang Haolang thinks it over and decides he must remind Gu Xiaozhan that punishing a wife for mistakes shouldn’t be done this way.
Shouldn’t he instead hold his wife tenderly and lovingly? It’s surely more effective!
Tang Haolang stands in the corner and takes out his mobile phone to text Gu Xiaozhan, because speaking out loud would get heard by Mu Anhan.
[Mr. Gu, as a husband, you must clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments!]
Once he sends it, he feels confident that Mr. Gu will get the message’s meaning.
Isn’t it that a man should reward his wife, and shows of affection shouldn’t be lacking?
Gu Xiaozhan is listening to Lie Huo talk about Huo Yiwen’s matters. His phone rings; he sees it’s from Tang Haolang. He’s clearly in the office, yet there’s something he can’t say face to face?
He picks up the phone and shoots a fierce glare at Tang Haolang, thinking this guy has nothing better to do!
Tang Haolang catches that look and realizes his attempt to suck up just totally missed the mark.
Lie Huo sees Gu Xiaozhan with the phone and also pauses his report, making the room’s atmosphere a bit eerie.
"Continue reporting what’s next." Gu Xiaozhan puts down the phone.
"Yes!" Lie Huo walks out.
Tang Haolang quickly approaches his desk: "Mr. Gu, Ye Wennuan started working at the old lady’s company, reportedly as an assistant."
He speaks loudly enough for Mu Anhan to hear clearly; being an assistant means the relationships are rather close.
"Mr. Gu, the old lady has a very strong-willed personality. Tianqin Residence fired Ye Wennuan, might she confront you openly? Or target Young Madam instead?" Tang Haolang considers the issues quite comprehensively.
Mu Anhan also stands up, walks to Gu Xiaozhan, and gazes at him: "I didn’t expect you’d dismiss her!"
"You think your husband would let others speak ill of you?" Gu Xiaozhan’s lips curl slightly, releasing an irritable statement.
Mu Anhan puckers her little mouth, "I know my husband pampers me, but Mom might not give up easily!"
"You don’t need to worry; no matter who dares to target you, I won’t let them off." Gu Xiaozhan speaks these words with blood flowing icy cold through him, demonstrating his ruthless and emotionless nature to the fullest.
The office phone rings, a call from Huo Yiwen’s office.
Gu Xiaozhan answers the call: "Mom..."
It’s truly like saying Cao Cao’s name and Cao Cao appears!
Mu Anhan is somewhat surprised as she glances over, realizing of course Huo Yiwen is far from being a fraction of Cao Cao.
Huo Yiwen sighs lightly: "Xiao Zhan, what did Wennuan do wrong? You must dismiss her? With her watching over your two kids, you can work without worries! She’s highly educated, capable, and a stellar figure in children’s education. What exactly happened?"
"She knows herself, why ask me?" Gu Xiaozhan retorts sharply, showing no mercy.
"I did hear her say that An Han doesn’t like her; is that the reason for her dismissal?" Huo Yiwen shifts all the blame onto Mu Anhan.
