Ji Sisi eagerly watched Huo Sicheng leave, a trace of inscrutable emotion flickering in her eyes.
She unhappily turned to Chu Yu. “Where did I imitate Gu Qingcheng?”
Chu Yu frowned tightly. “Your dress and style, only Gu Qingcheng would wear like this.”
“Are you being too harsh?” Ji Sisi looked at Chu Yu with a saddened expression. “You’ve only seen me at work in Huo Corporation. You’ve never seen my daily outfit choices. To rashly say I’m imitating Gu Qingcheng is really hurtful.”
Chu Yu:
He looked at Ji Sisi again, more seriously this time.
He knew Gu Qingcheng very well. Hven from his initial dislike for her to his acceptance, he was familiar with her likes, and her fashion choices.
As President Huo’s assistant, he personally prepared flowers, jewelry, and clothes for Gu Qingcheng. So, Ji Sisi’s obvious imitation of Gu Qingcheng, and her denial, made him furrow his brows even more.
“How did you become like this?” He looked at Ji Sisi, puzzled, “You’ve been at Huo Corporation for many years, you should know Mr. Huo dislikes being disturbed. You not only blocked his car but also imitated his wife, Gu Qingcheng. Now when I question you, you claim it’s your usual style. Ji Sisi, what happened to you after leaving Huo Corporation? How did you become like
Before Ji Sisi could reply, Chu Yu continued, “If you’re in trouble, tell me. We’re colleagues, I’ll definitely help you.”
“Chu Yu, what are you talking about?” Ji Sisi looked at him, bewildered, “What do you mean I’m in trouble? What do you mean by ‘how did I become like this’? What have I become? I’ve told you clearly, this is my usual style. You think I’m imitating Gu Qingcheng because you’ve never seen my daily outfits.”
“You say you’ll help me as a colleague, but I don’t need your help. Instead, don’t judge me for imitating! If I were to imitate anyone, it wouldn’t be Gu Qingcheng. After all, I still want to work at Huo Corporation. I can’t afford to anger Mr. Huo.”
Chu Yu looked at Ji Sisi with a complex gaze, “I don’t believe a word you say! Ji Sisi, it’s not me being prejudiced, you are indeed imitating Gu Qingcheng.”
“I’m not, don’t talk nonsense,” Ji Sisi said.
“Enough, I don’t want to argue with you,” Chu Yu looked directly at Ji Sisi. “Everyone has their own ambitions. What you choose to do is your decision. I’ll let you off this time for stopping Mr. Huo’s car, but if there’s a next time, I won’t be so lenient.”
“You won’t be lenient with me?” Ji Sisi looked at Chu Yu in surprise, “I just wanted to return to Huo Corporation by stopping the car. Besides, I was once rumored to be involved with Mr. Huo. You’re going to be harsh with me? Are you planning to kill me or something?”
“Rumored involvement? Ji Sisi, one must know when to advance and when to retreat,” Chu Yu looked at her displeased and continued, “Mr. Huo’s heart has always been with Gu Qingcheng. If you want to return to Huo Corporation and use your past media attention to raise your status, be careful. If you don’t measure your actions, you’re not far from ruin.”
Ji Sisi unhappily said, “Didn’t you used to dislike Gu Qingcheng? Why are you now speaking up for her?”
“I used to have a very good impression of you, even finding you a job after Mr. Huo dismissed you,” Chu Yu retorted sarcastically to Ji Sisi, “I didn’t expect that now, not only have you lost your previous grace and propriety, but you’ve also become so shameless.”
“You…” Ji Sisi was angered by Chu Yu’s blunt humiliation. “Chu Yu, we’re colleagues, how can you speak so unpleasantly? What kind of person is Gu Qingcheng? She’s a shrew. You were there when she hit me last time. How can a woman just hit someone? Besides, she doesn’t truly love Mr. Huo. Don’t let him be deceived by her anymore.”
Chu Yu, listening to Ji Sisi, felt she was out of her mind.
“Where did you hear that Gu Qingcheng doesn’t truly love Mr. Huo?” he challenged her, “From what I know, Mr. Huo and Gu Qingcheng deeply love each other. There’s no deception.”
Ji Sisi, recalling what Qi Shaoze told her, felt Gu Qingcheng was despicably deceiving Huo Sicheng.
She couldn’t let Huo Sicheng continue to be deceived by Gu Qingcheng. She wanted to help him break free from Gu Qingcheng’s lies.
“Chu Yu, you don’t know anything,” she coldly said and turned to leave.
“You’re the one who doesn’t know anything,” Chu Yu stood there, hands in his pockets, watching Ji Sisi coldly, “Don’t block the car again, or I will take action.” Ji Sisi heard Chu Yu’s words but didn’t pay him any attention.
At that moment, inside Royal Dance Academy, Gu Qingcheng was standing while a tailor measured her body.
“Why have you lost weight?” Li Jing frowned at the recorded measurements of Gu Qingcheng, “Seems he hasn’t taken good care of you.”
Hearing Li Jing’s words, Gu Qingcheng was startled and then smiled. “Taking care of oneself is personal, relying on him? Forget it. He’s sick himself, if I relied on him, I would have starved by now.”
Li Jing laughed at Gu Qingcheng’s words, “Okay, the measurements are done. I’ve already designed the dress, and we’ll start making it tonight.”
Gu Qingcheng glanced at the design, “Master’s taste is always good.”
Li Jing signaled the tailor and looked at Gu Qingcheng after the tailor left. “How are you and Mr. Huo recently?”
Gu Qingcheng, adjusting her clothes, casually replied, “Pretty good.”
Li Jing caught a hint of bitterness in Gu Qingcheng’s eyes and sighed, “Seems not good at all. What happened?”
Gu Qingcheng’s mind cleared, recalling the phone call she made to Huo Sicheng earlier today, hearing Ji Sisi’s voice on the other end, and feeling annoyed.
“Nothing happened.”
Li Jing’s phone rang, and she looked at Gu Qingcheng with a complex expression after answering it.
“The bell ringer must be the one to untie the bell.”
“What do you mean?” Gu Qingcheng looked at Li Jing in surprise, “Master, I don’t understand.”
Li Jing told Gu Qingcheng, “You’ll understand in a while.”
Gu Qingcheng: “…”
She didn’t know what Li Jing meant and sat in front of the computer to watch Zi Yu’s dance videos.
Suddenly, a pair of slender, well-defined hands lifted, placing a small cake on her desk, along with a cup of green mandarin juice.
Engrossed in the video, Gu Qingcheng instinctively said, “Master, I’m not hungry.”
“I’m not Li Jing,” a deep, magnetic voice responded.
Gu Oingcheng stiffened, turning to see Huo Sicheng looking at her tenderly.
Seeing him reminded her of Ji Sisi, which annoyed her.
Moreover, it hadn’t been long since she called him, and he had quickly come from ji Sisi’s side to bring her cake and juice.
Hmph! What a scoundrel.
She frowned and asked him displeasedly, What are you doing here?”
