Mr.CEO's Wife Loves Someone Else

Gu Lanshan walked towards the villa, and the housekeeper had already opened the door and prepared the shoes for her. As Gu Lanshan changed her shoes, the housekeeper said, "Lady Shan, would you like to eat something?"

Gu Lanshan hadn't had enough sleep and felt very fatigued. She didn't have much of an appetite, so she shook her head and said, "Not for now. I want to rest for a while. I'll eat after I wake up."

"Yes, Lady Shan," the housekeeper said warmly. After a pause, she remembered something and said, "Lady Shan, there was a call for you when you were out. They left a voicemail."

Gu Lanshan nodded, "I know. If there's nothing else, I'll go upstairs."

"Lady Shan..." The housekeeper looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated. "Mr. Sheng called to say that he won't be coming back tonight."

When Gu Lanshan heard that Sheng Shi wouldn't be coming home tonight, her expression didn't change much. Her dark eyes merely furrowed slightly when she saw the housekeeper's sympathetic look.

Actually, she was no different from other girls. She loved beauty and cared fiercely about face. It wasn't that she cared whether Sheng Shi came home or not; she just disliked the way the servants looked at her with pity as if she were some abandoned and desolate wife.

Gu Lanshan tried hard to maintain a calm demeanor, uttered an emotionless "oh," and went straight upstairs.

Back in her bedroom, Gu Lanshan first listened to the voicemail. It was a call from the hospital, reminding her that she needed to pay next month's fees.

Her brother lived in the hospital. He had turned into a vegetable after a car accident involving her, and now he was in the hospital year-round, being looked after. The monthly expenses alone amounted to 100,000.

Even though she worked at SH News Agency as an ace reporter in a good job, her salary was limited. So, for the other money, she had to rely on what she earned from Sheng Shi.

Gu Lanshan hung up the phone and walked to the wardrobe. She opened it, took out a black handbag, and unzipped it. Gu Lanshan pulled out several cheques: 30,000, 20,000, 20,000, 15,000… totaling 85,000. She seemed to still have 10,000 in her salary account, meaning she was short 5,000. In other words, if she had a meal with Sheng Shi, or bathed him, or even slept with him once, it would be enough to pay next month's fees.

Thinking of this, Gu Lanshan couldn't help but give a self-mocking smile. Probably no one would believe that she, who was married to Sheng Shi, who owned hundreds of acres in the Royal Villa area, would be living so poorly!

In the past, her life wasn't like this. Sheng Shi had given her a limitless supplementary card, and she could buy whatever she wanted, live however she wanted, with all the luxuries and carefreeness. Wherever she went, she was surrounded by people, living like a concubine who gathered all the emperor's favor.

But ever since "that one time" the maids talked about, she had fallen out of favor. She was penniless, relying on accompanying Sheng Shi for meals, baths, or sleep to earn her brother's medical expenses. She had become like this, living in the most luxurious villa but experiencing the greatest financial deprivation.

Nevertheless, she should still be grateful to Sheng Shi. He hadn't banished her to the Cold Palace and left her a way to make money.

Even though that way involved treating herself as a commodity.....
