The reason why Gu Sisi blurted out those words was quite simple.
Jiang Lihao had told her what had happened after they separated at the bar that day.
Although Gu Sisi had hailed a taxi for Yang Qian out of concern, she was still stopped by someone with ulterior motives - Jiang Lihao, who then stubbornly followed Yang Qian home.
Then some indescribable things happened.
To calm himself down and also to give Yang Qian some time to cool off, Jiang Lihao hadn't contacted Yang Qian for these days.
Before Jiang Lihao could defend himself, Gu Sisi's face changed. She continued, "Regardless of what you think of yourself, in anyone's eyes, you're just a scumbag."
There was silence on the other end. Finally, his anxiety got the better of him. Jiang Lihao pleaded, "So what should I do now?"
All he wanted now was to find a way to make up for his mistakes. He had a premonition that if Yang Qian disappeared at this moment, she might really vanish from his world forever.
Gu Sisi looked at the blue sky in the distance and sighed.
Although she had sensed that the relationship between the two was special and knew that Yang Qian must have been hurt and chosen to run away this time, she also felt that Yang Qian had truly liked Jiang Lihao.
"You have to swear that you'll never hurt her again," Gu Sisi said seriously.
As their friend, Gu Sisi hoped that Yang Qian would be happy. Jiang Lihao was actually a decent guy.
In terms of address, Yang Qian even called her Sister Sisi, which meant that Gu Sisi had to be responsible for this "younger sister." But right now, Jiang Lihao had hurt Yang Qian after all.
She could imagine how disappointed Yang Qian had been during this period.
"I swear, I definitely won't," the voice on the other end was extremely anxious, different from his previous playful self and his later serious demeanor.
Gu Sisi could feel his sincerity. After much hesitation, she closed her eyes. Forget it. She didn't even know where Yang Qian was at the moment.
So she told Jiang Lihao about the phone call in the morning, hinting that Yang Qian might have already left this city or even this country. As for other things, Gu Sisi was powerless.
It all depended on their fate. If he couldn't find her, Gu Sisi wouldn't allow Jiang Lihao to get close to Yang Qian again. The hurt was real and couldn't be easily overlooked.
If Yang Qian chose to forgive him on her own, then Gu Sisi would act as if she knew nothing about this and wouldn't mention it again. If they really got together in the future, she would also bless them.
Although she had seen Jiang Lihao with Wen Meiling that day and even joked about their relationship,
she subconsciously believed that there was nothing between them. Maybe it was because of what Jiang Lihao had said at her wedding that had left such a deep impression on her.
"Thank you," the other end hung up the phone in a hurry.
Gu Sisi stood silently at the door for a long time before returning to the filming set.
Although she was curious about why she had seen Wen Meiling and Jiang Lihao together that day, she still hoped that Jiang Lihao could find Yang Qian and keep his promise.
On the screen, there were all kinds of love and entanglements. Off the screen, wasn't it the same?
When Gu Sisi returned to their office after the shooting was over, Sister Juan was still burying herself in work.
Gu Sisi felt a bit ashamed seeing how hard Sister Juan was working.
People who were more outstanding than her were working much harder. If this continued, when would she ever catch up?
She sighed inwardly.
"Sister Juan, is there anything I can help with?" Gu Sisi made up her mind and decided to turn over a new leaf. She couldn't just give up on herself.
Unexpectedly, when Huang Fangjuan heard Gu Sisi's voice, she put down her work.
"You're back. How's the shooting progress?" Sister Juan closed her eyes and rubbed her sore eyes.
Gu Sisi nodded. "The progress is going smoothly as planned. There were no accidents."
She was full of enthusiasm, waiting for Sister Juan to assign tasks to her, thinking that she would perform well later.
"Good. Then let's go have dinner together. There's nothing much to do today," Sister Juan's voice sounded a bit tired, perhaps because she was relieved.
"Nothing? There's nothing to do?" Gu Sisi couldn't believe it. They had been working overtime almost every day in the past few days.
Today, with so many additional tasks, they didn't need to work anymore. After getting used to that high - intensity workload, Gu Sisi was a bit unaccustomed now.
"We don't need to rush. Who knows what might happen in the future," Sister Juan said calmly, but Gu Sisi could sense her dissatisfaction.
The relationship between the screenwriter and the actors seemed quite complicated. Gu Sisi wasn't sure about other things, but Wen Meiling had definitely caused some dissatisfaction from Sister Juan, although it wasn't very deep.
She nodded thoughtfully. This had also taught her a good lesson.
Seeing that Sister Juan was a bit dissatisfied, Gu Sisi's eyes lit up. She suggested, "Sister Juan, let me treat you to dinner today. Consider it an apprenticeship banquet."
On the filming set, there was no one else to invite. Although the entertainment circle was a big one, this apprenticeship was just among their small group of people. There was no need to invite others.
The director of this play was one of them, plus Gu Sisi and Sister Juan. There were only three people in a large private room.
Going against her usual thriftiness, Gu Sisi decided to splurge today. She took out her bank card that she had saved for a long time. If it wasn't enough, she also had Huo Cheng's supplementary card on her. Anyway, she didn't need to worry.
"This is too luxurious. There's no need," Sister Juan withdrew her gaze from looking around the private room and turned to the menu. The prices on it made her frown slightly.
"Actually, there's no need to be so extravagant. Even without this meal, we can still have the apprenticeship ceremony."
For Sister Juan, she had eaten many meals and attended many gatherings over the years. There were even more luxurious ones than this, but today was a bit special.
After all, it was about taking on an apprentice, and Gu Sisi looked like a fresh college graduate.
"You're really protective of your disciple," the director picked up the menu, glanced at it, and then threw it aside. He laughed. "The prices here are really inflated. Well, I know some places with good food and reasonable prices. Let me take you there?"
Just like that, they were about to leave after just a few words.
Gu Sisi stared wide - eyed at what was happening in front of her.
After chatting, she had specifically looked into the restaurants near the filming set. Finally, she had chosen the most expensive one to show her sincerity.
"Okay. Let's go with you then," Sister Juan said and was about to stand up and leave.
Seeing that Gu Sisi was still sitting on the chair and looking entangled, Sister Juan asked, "Why aren't you leaving?"
The director also came back. Seeing the conflict on Gu Sisi's face, he laughed. "Your master knows your sincerity, but there's no need to choose such an expensive place.
I'd like to eat here, but if I do, your master will definitely give me a hard time."
Sister Juan guessed that Gu Sisi might think it was inappropriate after hearing what the director said.
So she comforted her, "It's okay. It's all the same wherever we go."
The two of them stared at her intently. Gu Sisi felt a bit fidgety.
It took her a lot of courage to finally say, "But I've already told my husband to come here."
Gu Sisi felt a bit awkward saying "husband." She didn't call him that very often, but she really didn't know how else to introduce Huo Cheng.
The two of them clearly weren't focused on this.
"You're already married?"
"You have a husband?"
