Gu Sisi stretched and slowly got out of bed. Last night, Huo Cheng had talked to her about safety issues for a long time, telling her to be careful here and there. Gu Sisi's ears were almost calloused from listening.
After washing up, putting on makeup, and getting herself ready, she went downstairs for breakfast. Thinking of Huo Cheng's endless nagging last night, Gu Sisi couldn't help smiling.
She still had to go to work. Although she had witnessed the means of the Huo family, her new script had just started. It was a hard - won job opportunity. It wouldn't be appropriate for Gu Sisi to ask for leave frequently and be absent from the company.
Gu Sisi wasn't very scared. She thought that at worst, she would just be more careful. She could ask the driver to pick her up and drop her off when commuting, and stay in the company during working hours. That should be fine. They couldn't expect her to stay at home all the time and not go anywhere.
Moreover, Gu Sisi still harbored a glimmer of hope. She thought that since the Huo family was in trouble now and even Huo Cheng had been urgently called back, the Huo family members would be busy dealing with their own affairs and probably wouldn't have the energy or the intention to harm her.
Thinking about her status and situation in the Huo family, maybe they would even disdain to take action against her. Gu Sisi lowered her head and thought.
However, this negative emotion was quickly dispelled by Gu Sisi. She couldn't let some unfounded things ruin her mood. Gu Sisi trusted Huo Cheng and herself, and other things didn't matter.
Gu Sisi bounced out of the room. She first went to the baby's room to check on the baby. Seeing the baby still sound asleep, Gu Sisi gave the baby a kiss on the cheek with a “mua~” sound and then left contentedly.
As expected, when she went downstairs, she saw Sister Hu had prepared a table full of sumptuous breakfast. It was always like this. At first, Gu Sisi wasn't used to it. After she mentioned it, Sister Hu still prepared breakfast like this, so Gu Sisi didn't say anything more. Maybe Sister Hu just liked to prepare it this way.
Sometimes it was really satisfying to see such a sumptuous breakfast in the early morning, just like now.
“Sister Hu, you've prepared so much again. You always trick me into eating a lot. I'm getting fat,” Gu Sisi said, stroking her non - existent belly and acting coquettishly towards Sister Hu.
“Madam is joking. Madam should eat more. Madam is just too thin,” Sister Hu stood aside, watching Gu Sisi eat.
Suddenly, they heard the doorbell ring. Gu Sisi was curious. Who could it be so early in the morning?
“I'll go and check. Madam, you just enjoy your breakfast,” Sister Hu said to Gu Sisi.
Gu Sisi didn't care much. Anyway, she knew Sister Hu was there. She continued to enjoy her breakfast.
“Madam, this lady says she's here to see you,” Sister Hu's voice came, accompanied by the sound of high - heels clicking on the floor.
Gu Sisi looked up and saw a light green cheongsam. The figure seemed a bit familiar. As she tried to recall, when she saw the face clearly, Gu Sisi choked embarrassedly.
The visitor was actually Gu Chenfei!
Someone Gu Sisi would never have expected. What was she doing here?
This was the only thought that flashed through Gu Sisi's mind at that moment.
“Are you surprised to see me?” Gu Chenfei walked up to Gu Sisi, sat down, and very considerately handed her a tissue.
“You're wrong. It's not surprise. It's shock,” Gu Sisi said calmly as she wiped her mouth.
This time, it was Gu Chenfei who choked. Maybe she didn't expect Gu Sisi to be so direct.
Of course, it wasn't Gu Chenfei's intention to be here. But Huo Cheng always knew his wife well. He knew that even though he had said so much, Gu Sisi would still go to work as usual. So Huo Cheng called in reinforcements.
The reinforcement was none other than Gu Chenfei.
“I've talked to your company. I'll contact you directly. For the next week, I'll discuss the script with you alone. Your company has already agreed,” Gu Chenfei said.
Gu Sisi's mouth fell open in surprise and formed an “O”. This sentence contained a lot of information.
Wait a minute. Did Gu Chenfei mean that she had directly contacted her company, arranged her work, and the company had agreed?
Gu Sisi felt a bit like she was in a fantasy. Gu Chenfei meant that for the next week, she would work with her, and not in the company.
After taking in all this information, Gu Sisi felt a bit nervous. Looking at Gu Chenfei sitting beside her, she still felt a bit out of touch. What was going on now?
Had she and Gu Chenfei become so familiar that Gu Chenfei could decide her work? It was really hard to understand.
“Please wait a moment. I'll make a call,” everything was so strange that Gu Sisi still decided to call the company to confirm.
“Hello. You're saying it's all true? My work for the next week is to study the script with Gu Chenfei? … Okay … Okay, I see. Thank you.”
“Hello. You're saying, okay … Okay, okay. I'll definitely cooperate well with Ms. Gu Chenfei and follow her suggestions. Don't worry.”
“…”
All the calls were like this. When the people in the company heard about this, they all took it for granted and asked Gu Sisi to assist and cooperate well with Gu Chenfei and do everything according to what Gu Chenfei said.
Gu Sisi, who had still hoped that it wasn't true, now felt like crying but had no tears.
“Are you the investor?” Gu Sisi held her phone tightly, holding back her tears as she looked at Gu Chenfei.
“Yes. I'm the investor of this drama.”
Gu Sisi almost broke her phone on the spot. She was so angry, but still had to keep smiling.
So Gu Sisi looked up at Gu Chenfei again, showing a standard smile with eight teeth. “Then, may I ask, Ms. Gu Chenfei, what kind of script do you want? And where do you want to discuss the script?”
“Right here. It's good,” Gu Chenfei said, acting like the hostess. Gu Sisi endured and endured, but still couldn't help asking:
“So, Miss Gu, did you come so early to stop me from going to the company and then work in my house?”
Hearing her words, Gu Chenfei thought for a few seconds before answering, “You can put it that way.”
This time, Gu Sisi really had nothing to say.
“But, I really want to ask, Gu Sisi, do you really think I'm here to talk about business with you?”
Gu Sisi looked completely confused. Wasn't it?
Seeing Gu Sisi's expression, Gu Chenfei understood everything. She couldn't help covering her forehead and lowering her head to calm down for a few seconds.
“Listen. I'm not just here to discuss work with you. That work is not important. I'm sure Huo Cheng has told you who I am. He's currently restricted in the Huo family and can't come back for the time being. He's worried about your safety and afraid that the Huo family members might do something to you while he's away. So he asked me to stay by your side and protect you and your child. In about a week, Huo Cheng will be back.”
Gu Sisi thought that this was probably the longest sentence Gu Chenfei had ever said, and it was indeed the case.
