"I didn't expect you capitalists to show kindness once in a while."
After Gu Sisi left the ward, she felt quite touched and couldn't help joking.
This amount of money might be just a tiny fraction of a tiny fraction for Huo Cheng, but looking at the grateful look in the old lady's eyes, she could fully empathize.
"You were really cool just now!"
Huo Cheng turned back and showed a charming smile. "Complimenting me?"
Gu Sisi threw away her reserve and said affirmatively, "Yes!"
"I think I'm cool too!"
Gu Sisi rolled her eyes. It seemed there was another thick - skinned person besides her.
Before her half - month vacation was over, the company called and asked Gu Sisi to go back to work immediately. Huo Cheng also took the opportunity to urge her to move back to the villa.
After Gu Sisi found out that it was all Huo Cheng's doing, the little bit of good impression she had just developed for him vanished.
"You've put so much food in these boxes. I can hardly carry them." Knowing that she was leaving, her mother had bought all kinds of snacks early in the morning, as if she wanted to bring back the whole supermarket.
"The food outside is no match for home - cooked food!"
She pouted and silently thought to herself that it sounded as if these weren't bought from the supermarket.
Carrying big and small bags, she headed straight for the villa. It was still early and Huo Cheng wasn't at home. Gu Sisi gave all the snacks she could share to the servants in the villa.
Even the security guard at the gate got a handful of popcorn.
"Sisi, there's a class reunion tonight. Will you come?" The caller was Huang Bingjie, a friend from Gu Sisi's college days.
"Reunion? I didn't know about it. It's a bit tight for tonight, isn't it?" She wasn't very enthusiastic.
"Sisi, Senior Wen Xuanyang will also come. Hurry up and get ready."
Hearing this name, Gu Sisi felt deflated. Back then, almost everyone in the school knew about her crush on Wen Xuanyang.
She looked at the gate. Huo Cheng still hadn't come back. She whispered into the phone, "Actually, I don't like him anymore."
"Why?" Huang Bingjie was taken aback for a moment and then suddenly remembered. "Oh, right. He's already the son - in - law of the Zhao family."
"It's not because of that..." Gu Sisi didn't know how to explain. Anyway, everyone did stupid things when they were young, and she was past that stage.
"Sisi, it's not easy for our classmates to get together. If you don't come, I'll be angry!" After some coaxing and cajoling, Huang Bingjie finally got Gu Sisi to agree to attend the reunion that night.
The class reunion didn't take place in a hotel but in the school cafeteria. It was more like a reunion there.
Everyone was laughing and playing. Gu Sisi sat with some of her close classmates and talked about her recent situation, selectively hiding some things.
After waiting for a while and not seeing Huang Bingjie, Gu Sisi looked up and saw Wen Xuanyang walking in.
Back then, Gu Sisi wasn't the only girl who liked him. Now seeing their idol, several girls rushed up to say hello.
Gu Sisi no longer had that old - fashioned crush. She calmly sat in her seat without moving.
Zhao Wanru also came. She was right behind Wen Xuanyang. As soon as she appeared, the noisy crowd immediately surrounded her.
Newly - wedded couples were always a hot topic.
Gu Sisi took a curious look and found that Wen Xuanyang walked straight towards her through the crowd.
Wen Xuanyang sat down beside her. Gu Sisi felt extremely uncomfortable, as if needles were pricking her back. The gazes around her made her very uneasy.
Especially with Zhao Wanru present, it was like she was courting hatred. Sure enough, Zhao Wanru also walked over and sat down on the other side of Gu Sisi, sandwiching her between them.
"Um, can I change seats with someone?" Gu Sisi gasped. Were these two a toxic couple? They were deliberately making her look bad.
"No, it's okay like this." Wen Xuanyang said, his voice a bit cold.
On the other side, Zhao Wanru didn't look happy either. She hadn't smiled since she entered the door.
Had they quarreled?
Great! When a couple quarrels, an outsider suffers. It was an inauspicious start today. She should have checked her fortune before going out.
As much as she complained, she still had a way out. Halfway through the meal, thinking of finding someone to talk to, Gu Sisi quietly slipped to another table.
"Did you hear? Wang Junhui got another girl pregnant and forced her to have an abortion. The girl's parents went to his place to demand an explanation." Some classmates at the next table were gossiping.
Gu Sisi had sharp ears. Wang Junhui was from the next department. It was said that he had been dating multiple girls at the same time and playing with female classmates when he was in school. Unexpectedly, he had now escalated to forcing girls to have abortions.
"How many girls is this?" someone asked curiously.
"This is the fourth one this year. The total number should be more than a dozen." The speaker gritted their teeth in anger.
"Damn it! He's reached a new level of being a scumbag!" a girl exclaimed. Such a man really deserved to be impotent so that he couldn't harm any more girls.
As they were talking, Wang Junhui walked in through the door. The people who had been talking fell silent immediately. They didn't want to cause any trouble.
After dinner, the venue was moved to a nearby KTV. Gu Sisi called and found out that Huang Bingjie had suddenly been asked to work overtime that night and would come later.
Gu Sisi followed the others into the private room. Just as she was about to sit down, she saw Wen Xuanyang and Zhao Wanru sitting nearby. She instinctively wanted to change seats, but was held back by other classmates.
