The CEO saw me as a vicious gold digger. With a wave of his hand, he threw a check for $1 million at me, demanding I leave his Executive Assistant, Jason. I smiled and tucked the check into my pocket: "Deal! Mr. Sterling is so generous!" After taking the money, I immediately blocked Jason. Jason looked at the red exclamation mark on WeChat, crying his eyes out: "Sis, don't you want your own brother anymore?" Chapter 1 Jason and I are biological siblings, though we might look like a random assortment. When our parents divorced, Mom waved her hand domineeringly: "I take the house and the daughter." Dad wouldn't show weakness: "I take the savings and the son." So, I took Mom's last name, Gu, and became an invisible landlady owning three condos downtown. Jason took Dad's last name, Jiang, and became a poor corporate slave destined to inherit... uh, his dad's ten-year-old second-hand car if he didn't work hard. Jason, this kid, has had a "I'm miserable but I'm strong" weed-like temperament since childhood. As his older sister, to prevent him from being like Dad who couldn't save a penny, I naturally had to give him an education named "Exploitation" but really "Love." For example, on payday, 80% of his salary must be handed over to me for safekeeping. Actually, it's to help him save for a wedding fund. Another example, he must be on call on weekends. At this moment, I was lying on the sofa with my legs crossed, issuing orders to the phone: "Hey, Jason, pick up a package for me on your way back from work." From the other end came Jason's suppressed voice, background noise filled with furious typing: "Sis... I'm still suffering in overtime..." "Cut the crap." I blew on my freshly done nails, "Don't eat dinner yet. Come over later for a feast. I ordered too much. If you dare eat before coming, I'll skin you!" "Fine, I won't eat, okay!" Jason hung up with a crying tone. Meanwhile, in a skyscraper in CBD. Jason hung up, looking at the name "She-Devil" on his phone screen, and sighed deeply. His stomach growled timely. He hadn't eaten dinner. But he had to go to Gwen's house later, so he could only snack a bit now. He sneaked into the pantry, skillfully fishing out a pack of free soda crackers from the depths of the cabinet. Jason gnawed on the dry crackers, swallowing them with warm water. "Yo, Assistant Jiang, eating this again?" Amy from Admin walked by with a cup of fancy yogurt, looking at him sympathetically, "Your girlfriend is too strict. Look at your suit cuffs, they're frayed, and she won't buy you a new one?" Jason almost choked on the cracker, face flushing: "N... Not girlfriend..." It's a creature scarier than a girlfriend—biological sister. "Oh, I get it." Amy looked like she knew it all, "Gold diggers these days have high tactics. Draining your money while making you think it's for your own good. Look at you, Mr. Sterling's Executive Assistant, salary isn't low, right? Why do you look like you escaped from a refugee camp?" Jason couldn't explain. "Actually... she's saving money for me..." Jason defended weakly. "Tsk tsk tsk, only an honest guy like you would believe that." Amy shook her head and left, leaving Jason alone doubting life with half a cracker. This scene was fully witnessed by Sebastian Sterling, who just came out of the conference room. Sebastian, Jason's boss, a business upstart with immeasurable wealth. At this moment, he stood in the shadows, frowning tight. Jason was his most capable assistant, strong ability, tight-lipped, hardworking. But recently, Sebastian found this subordinate was always stingy. Counting every penny. Sebastian originally thought Jason's family had some trouble, like a sick father or loan sharks. Until just now, he heard the words "Gold Digger." Sebastian returned to the CEO's office, slender fingers tapping the desk. "Found anything?" The assistant immediately handed over a file, looking a bit weird: "Mr. Sterling, found it. Assistant Jiang's cash flow is very... singular." Sebastian opened the file. On Jason's payroll statement, the second his salary arrived each month, a huge sum would be transferred to an account. Recipient: Gwen Gu. Transfer notes were varied, filled with suffocating "PUA" vibes: --[This month's tribute, please check, Your Majesty.] --[Monthly bonus, please check, Your Majesty.] "Gwen Gu..." Sebastian read the name, eyes turning cold. He flipped to the next page, photos taken by a private investigator. In the photo, Jason followed a young woman, carrying bags of cat food and packages. Although only a side profile was captured, the woman dressed casually, hair messy. And Jason, a top university graduate, was so humble in front of this woman. "Good tactics." Sebastian sneered, closing the file, "Controlling a man to this extent, pretending to be virtuous in broken pajamas... while pocketing all the money." The assistant added carefully: "Heard... Assistant Jiang is going to her house to pick up packages after overtime tonight." Bang! The pen in Sebastian's hand was slammed onto the desk. This is bullying. Since when did Sebastian's people get trampled by such a vain woman? "Prepare the car." Sebastian stood up, adjusting his suit that had no wrinkles, eyes flashing with the light of justice, "Let's meet this 'Miss Gu'." And by the way, wake up that woman who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth with money. At this time, I was wearing those "broken pajamas" to take out the trash and pick up my spicy ramen delivery. I had no idea that a furious CEO was driving towards me murderously. Chapter 2 A Maybach that looked hard to park blocked my way. The window rolled down, revealing a face that was indeed handsome, but eyes filled with "30% coolness, 30% ridicule, and 40% carelessness." The man looked me up and down, gaze lingering on the two bowls of spicy ramen in my hand. "You are Gwen Gu?" Voice was nice, just the tone sounded like interrogating a criminal. I sniffed: "Where is this scam from? Pay property fees at the front desk. Selling insurance... I have no money." The man sneered, pushing the door open. "I am Jason's boss, Sebastian Sterling." He cut to the chase, "I want to talk to you." Talk? Did Jason the idiot cause trouble at the company? My heart tightened, but face remained calm: "Talk about what? If Jason isn't obedient, you can beat him, just don't fire him, he needs this job to make money! "Wait, if the severance package is right, like a 5N something... let me calculate how much that is..." Sebastian's eyes instantly became sharper, as if looking at an unforgivable witch. "As expected." He muttered low, then took out a check from his pocket, clipped between two fingers, handing it to me. "Here is one million dollars." Me: "?" Firing my brother for a million? Why didn't I know his income was this high? Dare to lie to me! Wait... Jason definitely wouldn't dare lie to me! Is the man in front of me scamming? But... what kind of new scam is this? Or a prank show? Where is the camera? Seeing I didn't take it, Sebastian thought I found it too little, frowning deep enough to kill a fly. "Miss Gu, one should be content. Jason is just an assistant, his monthly salary isn't enough to buy your... pajamas, right?" Although my pajamas were $9.99 free shipping from Amazon, his tone made it sound like I was wearing the Emperor's New Clothes. "I know your tactics are brilliant, confusing Jason, making him transfer his salary to you the moment it arrives, and come to serve you like a slave after work." Sebastian took a deep breath, seeming to suppress some anger named "Justice." "But he is an honest man, and has a bright future. I don't want him ruined by a woman like you... who is vain and greedy." "Take this million, leave him. No more asking him for money, no more ordering him around." At that moment, the world was quiet. I looked at the check. Then looked at Sebastian's handsome face written with "humiliating you with this." After my CPU ran fast for three seconds, I realized. We have different last names. He is Jiang, I am Gu. We have financial dealings. He hands over salary monthly. We also have... intimate actions? Coming to my house daily, free nanny? I realized it! In this CEO's eyes, I am a scumbag, gold digger, love scammer who PUA his beloved subordinate. What to do? "Oh, Mr. Sterling, you misunderstood, I am his..." Before the words "biological sister" came out, my brain immediately imagined Sebastian smiling awkwardly, taking back the check, saying "Sorry, my mistake"... So... being his sister means losing a million dollars?! Of course not. I am a Taurus. Refusing money delivered to the door will bring divine punishment. I took a deep breath, revealing a smile named "Greed." I extended two fingers, clipped the check, and flicked it, hearing a crisp sound. "Deal." I looked at him smilingly, "Mr. Sterling is indeed generous. Since you asked, I will definitely follow. From today on, I will definitely not pester Jason anymore!" Sebastian obviously didn't expect me to agree so readily. His stomach full of bargaining and ridicule was choked in his throat. He looked at me, a flash of astonishment in his eyes, then turned into deeper contempt. "As expected, just someone who opens eyes wide at money." "Thanks for the compliment." I stuffed the check into my pajama pocket, then waved at him, "Then safe travels, Mr. Sterling? I won't see you off. My spicy ramen delivery just arrived, gotta eat it while hot." Finished, turned and ran. Afraid that if I ran a bit slower, this sucker would regret it, find my brother not worth a million, and ask for the money back.
