So Xiaotao boldly sat down. The three of them reordered coffee. Strangely enough, Gu Chenfei and Gu Sisi ordered the same coffee again.
Xiaotao covered her face and whispered, "Sure enough, people of the same family will come together."
"Xiaotao, what did you say?" Gu Sisi was a bit confused. What was Xiaotao muttering to herself about?
Gu Chenfei just glared at Xiaotao. She understood what Xiaotao meant. If looks could kill, Xiaotao thought she would surely be tortured to death.
"Haha, it's nothing, nothing. I just like talking to myself. Sister Sisi, don't mind me," Xiaotao laughed awkwardly, trying to brush it off.
Seeing Xiaotao like this, Gu Sisi found her inexplicably cute. So she couldn't help but stroke Xiaotao's head.
This affectionate head - pat made Gu Chenfei on the opposite side twitch the corner of her mouth. What were these two doing? Did they think she was invisible?
"I'm quite curious. Since you're not in a superior - subordinate relationship, how did you two meet?" Gu Chenfei started to pose a question.
"I'm afraid this has nothing to do with Miss Gu," Gu Sisi replied, not in a friendly tone.
Come on. No woman could sit calmly in this situation. A woman who had a private meeting with her husband in the coffee shop where they had met before.
Gu Sisi wasn't that naive. She was sitting here only because of Xiaotao. If it weren't for Xiaotao's pitiful look, Gu Sisi felt she should stay and accompany Xiaotao. Otherwise, Gu Sisi would have left right after signing the contract.
After all, she didn't want to stay and talk to Gu Chenfei anymore. They had already talked enough about business matters.
Moreover, the contract had been signed. All the matters had been discussed before, and the contract was clear in details.
If there were other problems, she would send someone else from the company to talk to Gu Chenfei. Facing Gu Chenfei, Gu Sisi always felt uneasy. It seemed that the other woman knew her well, while she knew nothing about Gu Chenfei.
When she first saw who it was, Gu Sisi really wanted to leave. But Gu Chenfei's words pulled her back. After all, she had put so much effort into this. It would be a pity to give up like this.
She had thought that the other woman wouldn't agree easily. Considering Huo Cheng's relationship, she might be even more difficult. But unexpectedly, Gu Chenfei agreed so readily.
"I'm just asking casually. Miss Gu, don't be so nervous," Gu Chenfei said gracefully while sipping her coffee. Her eyes were constantly fixed on Xiaotao, making Xiaotao feel nervous.
"Hehe, I wonder why Miss Gu would like to have coffee with me?" To break the ice, Xiaotao summoned up her courage and asked.
"Nothing. It's just that you look quite similar to a younger sister in my family. Coincidentally, that disobedient younger sister of mine ran away from home. Seeing you now makes me feel kind of close."
Gu Chenfei emphasized the last word "close" very heavily. Such an affectionate word didn't match her cold expression at all.
"Hahaha, Miss Gu is joking. I'm meeting Miss Gu for the first time today. Maybe it's just a coincidence... a coincidence," Xiaotao forced a laugh nervously. She wondered why her voice was trembling.
Xiaotao silently complained in her heart. This Gu Chenfei said "ran away from home", but in fact, she just moved out of home properly. What was wrong with wanting to live independently?
Moreover, why was Gu Chenfei so scary? Did she know that it was herself who gave Gu Sisi her contact information?
After thinking about it carefully, Xiaotao felt it was impossible. If Gu Chenfei had known earlier, she wouldn't have waited until now to confront her. As soon as Gu Sisi called and invited her out, Xiaotao wouldn't have been able to escape.
Thinking of this, Xiaotao suddenly gained confidence. Why didn't she think of this before? Maybe it was because of her guilty conscience that she completely forgot Gu Chenfei didn't know about this.
"Oh, a coincidence? There's an even more coincidental thing. My younger sister's name is also Yang Tao, Gu Yangtao," Gu Chenfei said, still wearing a smile on her face, but the coldness in her eyes couldn't be hidden at all.
"That's enough, Miss Gu. Xiaotao is just my colleague, not your younger sister, and has nothing to do with you. We still have things to do. If you have nothing important, we'll leave first. You can find someone else to have coffee with," Gu Sisi said.
Even Gu Sisi could sense that the atmosphere between the two of them was wrong. She could see that Gu Chenfei was unfriendly, and Xiaotao was in such a state. Gu Sisi instinctively wanted to protect Xiaotao.
"Please do as you like."
Xiaotao inexplicably felt that after Gu Sisi spoke, Gu Chenfei's imposing manner faded a lot. Why was she like this only to herself? Xiaotao was silently crying inside.
In the taxi on the way back.
"Sister Sisi, thank you just now. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do. It seems that the rumor that this writer has a strange temper is true. Why was she like that as soon as we met?"
Xiaotao patted her chest while secretly looking at Gu Sisi.
"Yes, I don't know why either. But I always feel that she seems to know you," Gu Sisi said slowly.
"This... how... how is that possible? Ahahaha, I'm meeting her for the first time today. Maybe... maybe it's because she said I look like her younger sister. Yes, that's it."
As soon as Xiaotao heard what Gu Sisi said, she panicked instantly and started to stutter.
"Why are you so nervous? I'm just asking casually. I just find it a bit strange," Gu Sisi said, finding Xiaotao's look quite funny.
She stroked Xiaotao's head to comfort her.
"That's good. Sister Sisi, I thought you suspected me of something," Xiaotao looked at Gu Sisi pitifully.
"Sister Sisi ~ You'll believe me, right?" Xiaotao continued.
Looking at Xiaotao, Gu Sisi felt her heart melting. How could there be such a cute girl? Gu Sisi couldn't help pinching Xiaotao's face.
"Of course not. What could I suspect you of, Xiaotao? Don't think too much."
"That's good, that's good. Then Xiaotao is relieved."
...
After a moment of silence, Xiaotao suddenly asked, "Sister Sisi, where are you going next? Home?"
Gu Sisi also suddenly wondered where to go. She really didn't want to go back to the Huo family and face Huo Cheng. But she couldn't not go back because the baby was still there.
But at this moment, Gu Sisi didn't want to go back yet. But where else could she go?
"I don't know yet. Do you have anywhere you want to go, Xiaotao?"
"Um... Yes. I want to go drinking. I've been under a lot of work pressure recently and need to relax." Actually, it was because Gu Chenfei was too scary, and she needed alcohol to relieve the nervousness forced out of her.
