Chapter 242: A Drastic Change in Attitude

Even though Jiang Lihao said so, he still couldn't help but worry deep down.

After this incident, fearing that Yang Qian might get hurt again, he simply accepted Huo Cheng's suggestion.

Huo Cheng drove them directly back to their current residence. After packing up their luggage, he took them to the Huo Mansion.

Gu Sisi had been recuperating at home due to the previous accident. Yang Qian's arrival was just in time.

With her company, Gu Sisi recovered quickly. She regarded that nightmare as just a dream. It wasn't that she was careless. In fact, when the incident happened, she was first knocked out. But there might have been an accident midway.

She actually woke up later. By the time she woke up, Huo Cheng had already come to rescue her.

Due to the previous accidents, Gu Sisi's ability to withstand stress had improved extremely fast. She soon forgot about this incident.

The two of them hadn't had such a leisurely time in a long while. They went out to eat, drink and stroll around every day, having a great time.

Previously, they were always busy with work. Even during their rare free time, they couldn't really enjoy themselves.

This time, they really let themselves go and had a wonderful time.

Huo Cheng still left early and returned late every day. Jiang Lihao, who used to accompany Yang Qian often, also started to get busy all day long.

Sometimes when the two girls came back late, they were worried that the two boys would scold them for being too crazy. But the boys always came back even later than they expected, which made them heave a sigh of relief every time.

The next day, this cycle of emotions repeated itself.

However, such a carefree life didn't last long.

It wasn't because Gu Sisi had to return to work or Yang Qian had to look for a new job. It was because there was suddenly news from the Jiang family.

The two girls glanced at each other. The person standing in front of them claimed to be sent by the Jiang family.

"Ms. Yang, our old master of the Jiang family sincerely invites you to stay at our Jiang residence for a few days." The visitor placed one hand on his chest, bowed his head, and invited politely like a gentleman.

The two girls shook their heads. Yang Qian leaned over and whispered in Gu Sisi's ear, "Could this be a trap? It's so strange!"

A strange feeling welled up in Yang Qian's heart. It just seemed too abrupt.

"If they were going to plot against you, they probably wouldn't be so blatant," Gu Sisi said uncertainly. Then she shook her head. "Let's wait. We'll talk after they come back."

The two girls glanced at each other again and nodded.

Gu Sisi put on a smile, stood up, and said hospitably, "Since you're from the Jiang family, and we do have a good relationship with Young Master Jiang. Please take a seat in our mansion first. Young Master Jiang will be back soon."

Gu Sisi remained calm. If this person was here for Yang Qian, her words shouldn't provoke any reaction. If not, there should be even less of a reaction. After all, Jiang Lihao, who refused to go home, should be their target.

"Alright. I'll wait for the young master. I'm here this time for Young Master Jiang too. I'm looking forward to taking him home with me," the visitor said.

Gu Sisi didn't expect the visitor to be so straightforward about his purpose. She just smiled faintly and said, "Really?"

Then she looked at Yang Qian and nodded, indicating that she didn't detect anything strange.

However, the two boys wouldn't be back so soon.

Gu Sisi casually made up an excuse and pulled Yang Qian upstairs into the study. She said anxiously, "Quick, call your boyfriend. Tell him everything the man just said. Jiang Lihao must recognize that man. Describe his appearance to him and find out his real identity."

Without waiting for Yang Qian to reply, she also took out her phone and called Huo Cheng, explaining the current situation.

"What should I do? Should I wait for you guys to come back?"

Gu Sisi looked tense, no longer as calm as before.

Although this was the territory of the Huo Mansion and the man definitely wouldn't and couldn't do anything here. But Gu Sisi just couldn't figure it out. Although she didn't witness Mr. Jiang's outburst in person and didn't understand the severity of their conflict at that time.

She still couldn't understand why Mr. Jiang's attitude had changed so drastically in just one week.

"Yes. Don't act rashly. Just stay in the study. We'll come back as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone, the two girls waited in the study.

"Did Jiang Lihao recognize that man?"

Yang Qian nodded and hesitated before saying, "He said he's the butler of the Jiang family."

"Ah?" Gu Sisi was even more confused.

Was this such a big deal?

Soon, two cars pulled up outside.

Huo Cheng and Jiang Lihao came in. The visitor quickly stood up and greeted, "Good day, Young Master and Young Master Huo."

Jiang Lihao looked at the man, his brows knitted in confusion. "Did he send you?"

"Yes, Young Master. It was the old master who sent me."

Hearing the commotion, the two girls came downstairs from the study and stood beside them.

"Tell him we won't go back," Jiang Lihao said with his hands behind his back, not even looking at the visitor again.

"Young Master..." the visitor called out softly. But Jiang Lihao ignored him and shook his head. "Don't say any more. I've already made up my mind."

"But..." the visitor wanted to say something else. But seeing that Jiang Lihao didn't want to listen, he quickly turned to Huo Cheng and said, "Young Master Huo, please help me persuade the young master!"

Huo Cheng opened his mouth but still couldn't bear to refuse. "This depends on his will. If he doesn't want to go, I can't do anything about it."

Looking at the young master with his back turned, the meaning was obvious.

Anxiousness flashed across the visitor's face. He turned to Yang Qian and said, "Ms. Yang, please help me persuade the young master. The old master is still in the hospital. I really can't go back like this and disappoint the old master!"

Yang Qian looked serious. Jiang Lihao, who had his back turned, turned around, his eyes full of shock. "What?"

Seeing that he couldn't hide it anymore, the butler told them everything.

After they left, Mr. Jiang suddenly had a heart attack. He didn't have time to take his medicine and fainted. Fortunately, he was sent to the hospital in time and was saved.

But after all, he was old and couldn't bear such a shock. Mr. Jiang now looked a few years older.

In the end, the two of them compromised and went straight to the hospital.

Jiang Lihao and Huo Cheng didn't doubt the butler's words. They knew the butler well and trusted his character.

"Ah, I'm so bored!" This was the Nth sigh Gu Sisi had let out since Yang Qian left.

So, before her leave was over, Gu Sisi packed up her things and went back to work.

However, Gu Sisi didn't expect that the screenwriters were no longer needed there.

"Good morning, Sister Juan. Good morning, everyone!" Gu Sisi smiled. Now the people in the department were gathered together again.

It was just like the first time Gu Sisi met them. Maybe it was because of these few days of vacation that the nervous and excited feeling came back again.

"I heard that you've been feeling unwell these days. How are you now?"
