Chapter 14
Added 2025-09-23 16:30:18 +0000 UTC"Madam, you're home. You must be tired."
A kind-faced but somewhat gaunt middle-aged woman said deferentially to the wealthy lady as she entered. Taking small, quick steps, she hurried to the entrance to help her before slipping on a pair of slippers.
"Oh, Ah Rong, there's no need, I can manage myself," the wealthy lady said with a hint of embarrassment.
After parting ways with my me, she returned to her luxurious, standalone villa in the affluent district.
Her husband, as usual, was not home. Holding a crucial position in the government, his days were filled with either overtime work or business entertainment, leaving him very little time for the family.
She didn't need to work. In her generation of the Gu family, there were only two daughters, herself and her sister. As the eldest daughter, she had inherited the bulk of the family fortune, placing the Gu family on par with the Yao and Zhu families as the top elite of Jingzhou City.
Money was just a number to her. She ran a social club for wealthy ladies dealing in luxury goods and cosmetics, which was managed by a dedicated company, so she barely had to lift a finger. At home, besides a full-time maid who took care of her, her only companion was a Golden Retriever.
"Madam, what would you like for dinner this evening? Any snacks I should prepare?" The maid asked.
"Oh, I had such a big lunch today, I'm still full. Let's just have something light tonight. And Ah Rong, you don't have to go to so much trouble every day."
