This "no need" caught Huo Cheng off guard.
He didn't know how to explain things in the first place, but now Gu Sisi's attitude showed that she didn't need an explanation at all.
It was like having a fishbone stuck in his throat, and all his words came to an abrupt halt.
"Where are you now? I'll come find you," Huo Cheng said, gently closing his eyes. One hand tightly gripped the pen in his hand, showing his nervousness.
Perhaps this was the first time he felt so at a loss.
Gu Sisi pondered for a moment and replied, "I'll go back to the filming crew soon. Don't come."
She didn't need to hide the fact that she was at the Huo residence because it was impossible to hide. He could easily find out where she was by simply asking around.
But she didn't know why Huo Cheng had been so busy lately. Was it related to Wen Meiling?
However, it didn't matter. The most important thing was to get the baby back as soon as possible.
The baby had fallen asleep in Gu Sisi's arms. She then handed the child back to Sister Hua. Just as she said, she was going back to the filming crew now.
"You go and do your work! I'm going back to work too," Gu Sisi said in a calm tone, as serene as a still pond.
"Okay." All the words he had prepared to say suddenly turned into just one word.
"Mr. Huo, there's a call for you," Chen Fang, who had been busy dealing with the scandal, rushed over in a hurry.
Huo Cheng knew very well that during this busy period, only one person's call had the privilege to get through to him.
It seemed that this matter was related to the scandal.
Huo Cheng took the phone and said coldly, "Speak."
...
Although she couldn't see the baby for the time being, there was no sign of sadness on Gu Sisi's face.
Instead, she was like a person full of energy. She carefully went through all her previous notes.
She also read the script several times, torturing herself.
During this short holiday, no one wanted to waste their time. Gu Sisi was an exception. She was the only one left in the entire filming crew.
When Huang Fangjuan returned to the filming crew from her trip and entered the office, she saw Gu Sisi studying the script intently.
She paused for a moment. She didn't expect Gu to come back so early. Since she had returned directly from out of town, she came here to pick up something before going home. She still had some time to rest.
Gu Sisi was very excited to see Sister Juan come in.
She immediately rushed up and asked several questions that had been bothering her but she couldn't figure out.
Huang Fangjuan explained them in a daze and then asked in disbelief, "Sisi, you didn't go back? Aren't you going home?"
"There's nothing to do even if I go back. It's better to take this time to study hard. I still have so much to learn," Gu Sisi said calmly.
Huang Fangjuan nodded. She understood Gu Sisi. After all, she was in a cross - industry situation, so she faced more difficulties.
Gu Sisi had always been very serious and had been slowly making up for her deficiencies. Hard work was a norm for Gu Sisi, so Huang Fangjuan thought it was quite reasonable.
But while it was reasonable, her concern for Gu Sisi was another matter.
"There's no need to rush," Huang Fangjuan shook her head and asked, "I'm going home. Do you want to come with me?"
Her husband and child were waiting for her outside.
"No, Sister Juan. Maybe another day," Gu Sisi didn't explain but made her point clear.
Huang Fangjuan didn't want to persuade her further, so she nodded and said, "Okay. I'll go down first. I'll bring you a gift tomorrow. It was inconvenient to take it out in the car just now."
"Thank you, Sister Juan," Gu Sisi said with a smile.
Seeing that Gu Sisi was busy, Huang Fangjuan left immediately.
When she was left alone, Gu Sisi let out a long sigh.
"Alas!"
There was a touch of sadness and self - mockery in it.
The holiday was over. The crew members were coming back one after another.
Unlike Gu Sisi, who was immersed in her work, many people clearly hadn't gotten back into the mood yet.
They were talking about what they had seen and heard during these days.
Sister Juan rushed in while Gu Sisi was busy.
"Sisi, tell me, what's going on with the recent news?"
Huang Fangjuan had been traveling in places with a lot of mountains and rivers these days. The natural scenery was so beautiful that she hardly surfed the Internet. Who would have thought that such a big thing would have happened in just a few days.
It turned out that the hot topic outside was about Wen Meiling and the president of the Huo Corporation.
Sister Juan only took one look and recognized that the man was the one who was with Sisi at the apprenticeship banquet.
Moreover, they were already married.
People outside were saying that the two of them were a perfect match. Sister Juan was completely confused. She had no idea what was going on.
She had known before that Wen Meiling didn't like Gu Sisi. She never asked for the reason. Could this be it?
"Sister Juan, you don't need to worry about it. Just act like you don't know," Gu Sisi said in a soft voice, frowning. There was a rare crack on her calm and serious face.
Even though she tried to act like she didn't care, her heart still changed when she heard about it again.
With such a hot topic being discussed, how could she not have heard about it?
People's memories were always better than expected. At least after the news had dropped from the top of the headlines, people were still talking about it.
Sister Juan looked at Gu Sisi with pity. She knew that Gu had something hard to say.
She had no choice but to keep her mouth shut so as not to hurt Gu Sisi again.
Gu Sisi spent the day in a busy but normal way. But the next day, Wen Meiling returned to the filming crew.
The news that had started to lose its heat was brought up again. For a moment, everyone seemed to be trying to curry favor with her.
Those who used to dislike her suddenly changed their attitudes.
They knew she had a powerful backer, but they didn't expect it to be so powerful.
Her identity was dug out, which surprised a large number of people.
The fact that they had known each other since childhood was also exposed, and the label of childhood sweethearts was put on them.
When the topic became hot, some changes would follow.
Sister Juan was holding the script in her hand and angrily threw it on the table.
Gu Sisi, who was still studying the script, stopped writing and asked, "What's wrong, Sister Juan?"
Sister Juan was about to speak but stopped when she saw Gu Sisi.
She tried to hide her emotions and said softly, "It's okay. There were some problems when I was revising the script just now."
Gu Sisi instinctively knew that this matter might be related to her. Sister Juan's emotions were really strange.
"Sister Juan, I want to know," she said, looking seriously into Sister Juan's eyes.
Sister Juan, who didn't have the energy to hide her emotions anymore, threw the script down again.
"Do you know what the director told me? He said that we must add scenes for Wen Meiling, and the scenes must not be reduced at all."
"...Because of the scandal?"
Sister Juan was silent for a while and then nodded.
"Yes."
"I see," Gu Sisi said, showing no joy or sorrow on her face. She shrugged, looking as if she had nothing to do with this matter. "Then we have to revise the script again. Let's keep fighting!"
Sister Juan originally wanted to know the truth. She was sure that there was a real relationship between Huo Cheng and Gu Sisi. With Wen Meiling, who was Huo Cheng's childhood sweetheart, she, not being a party to this, really didn't know what was going on.
But subconsciously, she chose to stand by Gu Sisi's side. She walked over and put her arm around Gu Sisi's shoulder and said, "We don't need people like that. Don't be sad for them."
