Thinking back to the first time she met Gu Chenfei, Gu Sisi recalled that the latter's entire demeanor was enough to outshine Wen Meiling. Wen Meiling had been completely spoiled, while Gu Chenfei was different. Her aura was cold and unique, truly of a high - class caliber.
Wen Meiling's so - called nobility, nurtured by designer brands and excessive pampering, was only skin - deep and couldn't withstand scrutiny.
At this thought, Gu Sisi was puzzled. Both Wen Meiling and Gu Chenfei claimed to have grown up with Huo Cheng. They should know each other.
Considering Wen Meiling's hostile attitude towards her, Gu Sisi wondered why Wen Meiling didn't seem to take Gu Chenfei as a real threat. After all, it was obvious that Gu Chenfei posed a greater challenge.
At that time, Gu Sisi was deceived by Gu Chenfei's appearance and didn't know her true nature. Nor did she know that she and Gu Chenfei were actually closely related. Their fates were intertwined not only through Huo Cheng.
After a long day at work, Gu Sisi planned to go for a meal to unwind. She also wanted to invite Xiaotao to express her gratitude. If it weren't for Xiaotao's attention, she wouldn't have been able to seize this opportunity. Although she didn't expect the original author to be Gu Chenfei, she still felt that she should thank Xiaotao.
After work, Gu Sisi went to wait outside Xiaotao's manager's office. But after waiting for a long time, Xiaotao didn't come out. Gu Sisi was a bit confused. She thought Xiaotao might still be busy and didn't want to disturb her with a call. After waiting a while longer, there was still no sign of Xiaotao.
Finally, a colleague who saw her standing there for a long time came over to ask if she needed help. After Gu Sisi explained her purpose, the colleague told her that Xiaotao had taken a one - week leave and was at home recuperating.
Gu Sisi found it strange. They had talked on Saturday, and Xiaotao said she was at a friend's place. How could she suddenly take a leave to recuperate at home just two days later?
Gu Sisi was very puzzled but couldn't put her finger on what was wrong. After thanking the colleague, she left.
As she walked, Gu Sisi thought about this matter. Since Xiaotao wasn't available, she decided not to go for a meal alone. She thought it would be better to go home and see the baby.
"Watch out!" Gu Sisi was suddenly pushed to the side by someone. She had been so lost in thought that she didn't notice a car speeding towards her. Fortunately, the person who saved her managed to avoid the car in time. There were no major injuries. But when Gu Sisi wanted to thank the savior, a crowd quickly gathered around.
People were chattering away.
"These days, there are more and more people with no sense of propriety. How could they run a red light?"
"Exactly! Look how scared this young girl is. Are you okay, girl?"
"I'm fine, fine."
"Good, good. You've got to be more careful when you're out. Always check for cars on both sides. There are so many cars on the road these days..."
"Yes, yes, you're right. It was my negligence." Faced with the sudden lecture from the passer - by, Gu Sisi could only agree.
"Yes, yes. You young people just don't take these things seriously..."
Seeing that the passer - by showed no sign of stopping, Gu Sisi quickly made an excuse and escaped.
It seemed that sometimes having overly enthusiastic passers - by wasn't such a good thing. Gu Sisi didn't think much more about this incident.
"Today, Miss Gu Sisi was almost hit by a car running a red light at the company gate. Our men pushed her out of the way in time, and she wasn't injured. We're currently investigating whether the incident was intentional or accidental."
A man was respectfully reporting to two people sitting opposite him. One of them sat upright with an imposing aura, while the other looked nonchalant but was listening intently.
"Okay, you can go. Continue to follow Gu Sisi and clear any potential dangers for her. As always, don't let anyone, especially those from the Huo family, notice."
After receiving the order, the man withdrew.
"Humph, it's really in line with your style to stalk people all the time."
The speaker was Gu Yangtao. Naturally, the person sitting beside her was Gu Chenfei. Gu Chenfei shot a glare at Gu Yangtao, seemingly dissatisfied with her words.
"Don't glare at me. I'm just stating the facts. Don't think I don't know that you've had people following me for years. I'm not like Gu Sisi, so oblivious."
Gu Yangtao was happy to see Gu Chenfei's annoyed face and couldn't resist teasing her.
"Humph, you claim to be so alert, but you got so drunk in the bar that you didn't even know I brought you back."
Gu Chenfei sneered, exposing Gu Yangtao's weakness and leaving her speechless.
She couldn't very well say that she knew Gu Chenfei's men were around and would watch over her, so she dared to drink so much in the bar. She was afraid that if she said it, Gu Chenfei would refute her even more severely. What if Gu Chenfei's men weren't there? What if someone else pretended to be Gu Chenfei's men and took her away? She would be in danger.
Thinking like this, Gu Yangtao found that she could refute herself. Forget it, she shook her head. She'd better keep her thoughts to herself and not let Gu Chenfei know what she was thinking. Gu Yangtao also regretted getting so drunk.
If she had another chance and had known that Gu Chenfei would take her to her place, she would never have drunk that much.
Now, Gu Yangtao was under house arrest by Gu Chenfei. She couldn't go out, and no one could come in. Except for her phone, which wasn't confiscated, her personal freedom was completely restricted. She had to call her uncle to ask for a one - week leave. She held out hope that she could get out within a week.
The thought of living under the same roof as Gu Chenfei was terrifying. Gu Yangtao felt scared just thinking about the days to come.
Hearing the report about Sister Sisi, Gu Yangtao was very worried. For someone as absent - minded as Sister Sisi, it was actually a good thing that Gu Chenfei had sent people to protect her. After all, Sister Sisi was sometimes even more absent - minded than she was.
Just like today, she could be distracted while crossing the road. Even though the driver might have done it on purpose, there was no way someone like Gu Sisi would just stand there without even trying to dodge.
Wait! Gu Yangtao suddenly thought of something. She grabbed Gu Chenfei's arm just as the latter was about to leave.
"Are the people you sent to follow Sister Sisi the same ones who've been following me?"
"Yes. So what? Is there a problem?"
Gu Chenfei looked at Gu Yangtao's hand on her arm and replied. Gu Yangtao quickly withdrew her hand when she noticed Gu Chenfei's gaze.
"No, no. No problem. I'm just curious." Gu Yangtao forced a smile.
