Gu Sisi panicked and stopped her suggestion. She didn't want to have an unexpected nosebleed.
"Sister, tell me how you got together with brother-in-law!"
Gu Sisi never expected the topic to change so quickly. She hesitated and touched her nose. In fact, it wouldn't hurt to talk about it, but where should she start?
Seeing Zuo Hui staring at her with bright eyes, she cleared her throat and was about to speak.
At this moment, a voice came, "Miss, Miss Gu, the master requests your presence."
Zuo Hui's face darkened when the conversation was interrupted. "What's going on!"
The person who came was the one who had picked up Gu Sisi and the others for the first time. Gu Sisi recognized him at a glance.
At this moment, he was making a long face, looking on the verge of tears. "Maybe it's time to invite the guests to dinner!"
He wasn't very sure. What if it was for a chat?
"Fine!" Zuo Hui rolled her eyes, then turned to Gu Sisi and said helplessly, "It's already noon. Sister, let's go have lunch first. We'll talk later."
Gu Sisi was extremely grateful. She was just worrying about how to tell the story.
"Okay, okay. Let's go quickly. Don't keep the old man waiting."
As soon as they took their seats, Master Zuo clapped his hands. Then his subordinates served the dishes one by one. When all the dishes were on the table, the old man finally spoke.
"I'm afraid I've been neglecting you these days."
Gu Sisi waved her hands hurriedly. "No, no. Zuo Hui has been very kind to me these days."
"That's good." The old man seemed to bring up the topic casually and didn't dig deeper.
The old man sat at the head of the table. Gu Sisi and Zuo Hui sat on either side. There was no one else at the nearly five - meter - long dining table, and there were servants standing behind them. The table in front of Gu Sisi was filled with seafood. After the old man finished speaking, she watched him take a sip of wine, and then his fingers tapped on the table, as if he was deep in thought.
Gu Sisi felt extremely uncomfortable in this atmosphere.
Although it wasn't a Hongmen Banquet, she somehow understood how the people at the Hongmen Banquet felt.
"Stop talking. Let's just eat!" Zuo Hui complained.
The old man didn't say a word but picked up his chopsticks. Gu Sisi heaved a sigh of relief.
However, the next second.
"Are you from Country Z, girl?"
Gu Sisi immediately put down her chopsticks and nodded vigorously. "Yes."
"What brings you to Singapore?"
"I'm here for a trip and also have some business." Gu Sisi thought she couldn't just say she was here for a trip, or it would be difficult to deal with the following matters.
"What kind of business? The old man picked up his wine glass again and said calmly, "I have some influence here. Maybe I can help you."
"..." Gu Sisi stared with wide eyes, feeling breathless.
Was it the right time to talk about this?
"I don't need help for now." Gu Sisi lowered her head and thought for a long time before saying.
It was so strange. She had just been thinking about finding someone to help, and now someone was asking if she needed help.
"Okay. If you need help in the future, just let us know." Master Zuo still said calmly.
"Yes, sister. If you need any help, just tell me." Zuo Hui blinked her eyes and looked at her sincerely.
For some reason, Gu Sisi felt a little guilty. This little girl really regarded her as a sister, while she initially just wanted to use her.
"No, I don't need your help." This time, Gu Sisi refused firmly.
Although that matter was very important, Gu Sisi didn't want to do it like that anymore.
Master Zuo seemed a little surprised. "Aren't you bidding for a project?"
Gu Sisi's mind went blank. She was completely stunned.
She heard Zuo Hui say, "Grandpa, what are you talking about?"
When she came to her senses again, she was already back at the hotel.
She seemed to have told them that she had something to do and wanted to come back?
Gu Sisi couldn't remember clearly.
That sentence was so powerful. It turned out that Master Zuo had investigated her before!!
Wasn't what she had done like dancing naked?
Gu Sisi didn't dare to think further. Later, when Zuo Hui called her, she didn't dare to answer. She was afraid of Zuo Hui's disappointed tone and her blame. After all, Zuo Hui was sincere, while she had selfish motives.
When Huo Cheng came back, he saw her in a daze.
"Aren't you going to eat?" When he came back, he saw Gu Sisi lying on the bed all the time.
He pulled her up, put his hand on her forehead, and then on his own to check. "Well, you're not sick."
Gu Sisi slumped down limply and covered her head with the quilt.
"Let me sleep for a while. I'm so tired!"
Huo Cheng didn't think too much. He just thought she was really tired, so he went to work. By the early morning, Gu Sisi was in a deep sleep. He didn't disturb her and waited until the next day.
Huo Cheng brought some rice porridge and asked her forcefully, "What happened yesterday?"
Gu Sisi didn't want to tell the real reason. Looking dejected, she thought for a moment and said, "Maybe I haven't adjusted to the time schedule yet. I'm so tired."
Early in the morning, the phone rang. Gu Sisi was about to hang up, but seeing Huo Cheng beside her, she thought there might be something wrong, so she had to answer it.
"Sister, sister, please listen to my explanation! My grandpa didn't mean to investigate you."
Gu Sisi glanced at Huo Cheng, forced a smile, and lowered her head. "It's okay. I know."
"Sister, are you angry? Don't ignore my calls!" The person on the other end of the phone shouted.
Afraid that Huo Cheng would notice, Gu Sisi covered the phone and forced a smile. "No! Maybe there's something wrong with my phone these days."
"Okay, sister. I'll come to find you now!" After that, the phone beeped.
Gu Sisi's face changed. She shouted, "Zuo Hui, Zuo Hui..."
But there was only the beeping sound.
"What's going on?" Huo Cheng asked casually.
Gu Sisi sighed and pushed her hair behind her head, looking on the verge of tears.
"Nothing. Zuo Hui is coming to play with me. I'm just so happy."
Huo Cheng paused for a moment. He felt something was strange but couldn't figure out what it was. He picked up the spoon and said, "Don't worry about this. Have your breakfast first."
"No, thanks." Gu Sisi refused, then got out of bed. "I'll do it myself. I'm about to get up anyway. You go and do your work. Don't worry about me."
Since someone was coming to find Gu Sisi, Huo Cheng looked at the time. Although it was still early, he really had something to do. So he said, "Okay. Have fun. Call me if you need anything."
"Okay~" Watching the long - legged Huo Cheng go out, Gu Sisi, who had been smiling just now, immediately looked on the verge of tears. Was it too late for her to run now?
As time passed by, Gu Sisi kept looking at the time, her feet shaking constantly. She looked at the time again and felt a little uneasy. She walked to the window and looked down. Good. There was nothing.
She went back to the sofa and continued what she had been doing. Until a familiar feeling came over her. Gu Sisi rushed to the toilet to relieve herself.
After feeling relaxed, she heard the doorbell ring.
Gu Sisi grabbed the doorknob, took a deep breath, and thought, 'It's all or nothing!'
She opened the door.
