Be More Polite

A few seconds after Zhou Jingyun hung up, Jiang Tong’s phone rang again. This time, it was Zhou Mingfei.

“Hello?” Jiang Tong picked up the phone.

“Sister-in-law, I heard from my friend that you’re in Jingdu?” Zhou Mingfei asked with a hint of caution in his tone.

“Yes, did Gu Yu call you?”

“That’s right, Sister-in-law, Gu Yu… Gu Yu is my good friend. If she has done anything wrong, Sister-in-law, please show mercy. I’ll help you enlighten her,” Zhou Mingfei said as he put in good words for Gu Yu. The longer he had known Jiang Tong, the more he understood how terrifying she was, especially when his father Zhou Anguo’s attitude towards Jiang Tong had seriously affected him. This morning, Zhou Mingfei even called Zhou Anguo and talked a lot.

“You’ve misunderstood. It’s not what you think. I’m just here to discuss some business,” Jiang Tong replied with a smile.

“Gu Yu just called me and asked if you’re my sister-in-law. She said that there was someone called Jiang Tong there…” Zhou Mingfei paused. He didn’t quite understand what he was saying because Gu Yu didn’t explain it clearly to him either. She only expressed something like a gun and something about a threat…

“I already said it was a misunderstanding,” Jiang Tong continued to smile and replied. At this moment, the door of the office opened with a bang. Two bodyguards in black entered first, followed by a group of bodyguards. They surrounded a thin woman in her thirties. She was wearing a black dress and her hair was tied up, revealing her beautiful facial features. This person was Gu Yu.

Jiang Tong, who was sitting on a chair, turned her head and said to her phone, “Gu Yu is here. Alright, let’s not talk about it anymore. Everything’s fine…” After saying that, Jiang Tong hung up the phone.

The group of bodyguards was very vigilant, but Gu Yu was very calm. She saw the casual and good-looking Jiang Tong sitting on the chair and paused for a moment before saying, “Jiang Tong, you are…” before she could ask, her phone rang. She was holding her phone in her hand, waiting for Zhou Mingfei to call. Now, her phone rang. It was indeed Zhou Mingfei calling.

“Zhou Mingfei…” Gu Yu answered the call and took a few steps toward the door.

“She’s my sister-in-law so you should be more polite,” replied Zhou Mingfei.

“What do you mean by polite? Look at what you’re saying, how can I not be polite?” Gu Yu replied.

“No, then… you should be even more polite. Don’t upset my sister-in-law…” Zhou Mingfei quickly explained in a slightly obedient tone. Gu Yu was stunned by Zhou Mingfei’s words. she subconsciously thought that Zhou Mingfei meant to ‘give me some respect’. After all, Jiang Tong was Zhou Jingyun’s girlfriend, and Zhou Mingfei also called Jiang Tong ‘Sister-in-law’. Zhou Mingfei and Gu Yu were good friends, so it was normal for her to be more polite to Jiang Tong. This was what she thought subconsciously, but now Gu Yu felt that something was wrong. Zhou Mingfei’s tone and attitude were too strange!

“Zhou Mingfei,” Gu Yu said after some deliberation. As she said this, she turned around and walked out of the office. The bodyguards followed her and closed the office door. She said into the phone, “What’s wrong? Why do I feel like you’re a little afraid of your sister-in-law?” She was too familiar with Zhou Mingfei, and just from his tone, Gu Yu could clearly feel that something was wrong.

“It’s not that I’m afraid… It’s because of my relationship with my big brother Zhou Jingyun.” After Zhou Mingfei explained, he said, “Anyway, just be more polite. Gu Yu, don’t blame me for not giving you this reminder…” Zhou Mingfei clearly wanted to say something else, but he didn’t.

“Zhou Mingfei, what’s the situation?” Gu Yu asked directly, “Don’t hide it from me. I’m not a fool. I can hear it in your voice. Is there something wrong with your sister-in-law? Is she…” Gu Yu had heard of Jiang Tong before. There were people from big and powerful families talking about Jiang Tong in the circle, and some of them were told by Zhou Mingfei himself. Although Zhou Mingfei had not been to Jingdu recently, the two of them had been frequently on the phone because of some matters. However, when Zhou Mingfei mentioned Jiang Tong to Gu Yu, he only said that his brother Zhou Jingyun was serious about her and that she was his real girlfriend. He even said that his sister-in-law was quite capable. The word ‘capable’ carried a lot of weight when it came from the mouth of someone of Zhou Mingfei’s status.

And Gu Yu’s understanding of Jiang Tong was only up to here. Now, Gu Yu clearly felt that something was wrong.

Zhou Mingfei was silent for a while before saying, “Is there anyone nearby?”

Gu Yu understood what Zhou Mingfei meant and said, “Wait a moment.” Then, she waved away the people who were near the corridor entrance.
