Gu Sisi received a MMS on her phone from an unknown number.
She intended to treat it as junk information, but finally couldn't resist her curiosity and opened it. It was really rare for someone to send a MMS these days.
One glance at it and Gu Sisi was rooted to the spot.
There was no other information in the MMS, just a photo of a woman leaning against the wall, looking dazed, with her bra strap showing, and one hand hooking around a man's neck.
The man's back was to the camera, so his face couldn't be seen clearly, but the woman's face was crystal - clear. It was Gu Sisi herself.
Upon receiving the photo, Gu Sisi immediately hid it, fearing that others might see it. She was on tenterhooks until she got off work and still couldn't calm down.
She got up and walked quickly to the bathroom, then dialed the number. "Who are you? What's going on with this photo?"
The person on the other end laughed coldly. A mechanical voice said, "Who I am? You don't need to know." The voice was obviously processed by a machine, so it was impossible to tell who it was.
"What do you want?" Gu Sisi said with a cold face. It seemed that this person was clearly after her.
"Miss Gu, do you want to know how many such photos I have?" The person on the other end finally got to the point.
"No, I don't." Gu Sisi shouted. "What on earth do you want?"
"Miss Gu, if you want everyone around you to have a copy of this set of photos, I'd be happy to help you for free..."
"What's in it for you?" Gu Sisi gritted her teeth and asked.
The person on the other end stopped teasing her. "I want you to keep your distance from Huo Cheng until he loses interest in you."
Gu Sisi felt like laughing when she heard this. "Don't you think this request is absurd?"
She couldn't catch up with Huo Cheng, so she set her sights on her. How ridiculous!
The person on the other end wasn't surprised, as if everything was expected.
"Fine. Let's see which is more absurd, my request or your photos. I'll give you half a day to think about it."
The person on the other end laughed out loud. "If you can't do it, I'll have to show your other side to everyone around you!"
The phone call ended abruptly, leaving only the cold beeping sound.
Gu Sisi pretended to be calm and went back, but those words still echoed in her mind, "Everyone around you will get a copy of this set of photos..."
Gu Sisi had no way of knowing where this photo came from. Judging from the background, it seemed to be a bar. She didn't go to bars often, only a few times with her friends. It was a long time ago, and the memories were too hazy.
When she got home, there were still six hours left until the agreed - upon time. Gu Sisi ate dinner absent - mindedly and then locked herself in her room.
She was waiting, and she didn't know what to do!
Gu Sisi was filled with panic. Finally, before twelve o'clock, she managed to make the call. "Okay."
In the end, she chose to compromise.
She couldn't bear the thought of Huo Cheng seeing this photo. If he did, would he think she was a promiscuous person?
Moreover, their relationship had just improved a bit yesterday. She didn't like the idea of Huo Cheng choosing to distance himself from her in the end.
So it was better to keep the last impression at the most beautiful moment. At least her image would still be beautiful.
There was a knock on the door. Gu Sisi immediately replied, "What's up?"
"Aren't you going to sleep yet?" It was Huo Cheng's deep voice.
Gu Sisi hesitated for a long time before answering, "I will soon."
"Okay." Huo Cheng walked away, and Gu Sisi slumped to the ground.
The call was made by Zhao Wanru. Just when she was thinking about how to take revenge on Gu Sisi, she unexpectedly found such a clue in the bar.
She was so angry that her teeth were itching. With this photo in hand, she wanted to see how long Gu Sisi could still be so arrogant!
This was just the first step, to alienate Huo Cheng from her. By then, no one would stand up for her.
Zhao Wanru lit the printed photo in her hand with a match. Watching Gu Sisi's face distort and finally disappear, the corners of her mouth curled up more and more.
The agreement? Hahaha, how could she let go of such a good opportunity!
By then, she must make Gu Sisi completely disgraced and never be able to turn things around.
Those who offended her, she could only think of destroying them.
The smile on Zhao Wanru's face widened, and the face reflected in the mirror became more and more hideous.

In the morning, Huo Cheng noticed something was wrong when he didn't see Gu Sisi come downstairs for breakfast. He asked, "Hasn't she had breakfast these days?"
Sister Hu quickly explained, "Young master, during the days you were on a business trip, the young mistress always said she was busy. She would eat something early in the morning and then rush to work."
"Busy?"
"Yes, those were the young mistress's exact words."
Huo Cheng didn't think there was anything strange about it and just nodded. He had just asked casually.
In the past few days, even at night, he only saw her briefly. Usually, Gu Sisi would hurry back to her room after dinner.
He didn't take it to heart. If she was busy during this period, he would talk to her when she was free.
By the time he realized something was wrong, Gu Sisi was already standing in front of him.
"You're moving out?" Huo Cheng crossed his arms and looked at her with his deep eyes, but Gu Sisi kept her head down and avoided his gaze.
Gu Sisi nodded on her own. "Yes. I've been too busy these days. I rented a place near the company for convenience."
"Do you think the commute is too long?" Huo Cheng raised his eyebrows.
"Yes." Gu Sisi replied reluctantly.
This was the solution she had come up with after much thought. She had no other way out.
"I can send a driver to take you."
"No, thanks." Gu Sisi quickly refused and waved her hand with a smile. "It's not necessary. I'll only be busy for a while."
Gu Sisi didn't know what she was saying, but in the end, Huo Cheng agreed to let her move out.
She carried her luggage and rushed to her new place. Only then did she heave a sigh of relief.
"Sisi, you can sleep in this room." Yang Qian carried her luggage and asked hesitantly.
Another important reason for moving here was that Yang Qian's roommate had moved out, leaving an empty room.
Gu Sisi didn't respond. Yang Qian continued, "If you don't like this room, you can sleep in mine. I'll just move over."
But after she finished speaking, there was still no response.
Yang Qian looked at her in confusion and found that Gu Sisi was in a daze, probably lost in thought.
"Sisi!" Yang Qian snapped her fingers in front of her, and Gu Sisi finally seemed to wake up from a dream.
She got up from the sofa, looked around the room. This room was much better than the one she rented before. She nodded in satisfaction, patted the dust off her body, and said, "I'll do it myself."
"..." Sure enough, she hadn't been listening.
By the time everything was sorted out, it was already very late. After being physically and mentally exhausted during this period, Gu Sisi soon fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, when she woke up.
Everything in front of her was different. Only then did Gu Sisi realize that she had already moved out.
She walked to the living room, picked up a water cup, and knocked on the door.
"Qianqian, wake up."
She had been busy with her last night, and Gu Sisi was really worried that she would oversleep.
