Early the next morning, Ai Xi obediently sat in the living room.

I watched helplessly for a long time, but I didn't see the uncle coming down.

She looked around for a long time, but only saw the old housekeeper tidying up things in the living room.

There are many antique relics on the shelves in the living room, and the old housekeeper wipes them carefully every day.

"Uncle Li, isn't uncle awake yet? Isn't it time for breakfast?"

"Oh, Master Gu has already left." The old butler smiled, "Miss, you should go to the restaurant for dinner first."

A trace of helplessness flashed in Ai Xi's eyes, she raised her bright eyes to look at the old butler, and asked seriously, "Why did uncle go to the company so early today?"

And... he doesn't even eat breakfast, is this man a workaholic?
"Uncle Li, do you think Master Gu is angry with me? Why do I feel like I did something wrong to make him angry?" She asked again, with a puzzled look on her face.

The old housekeeper shook his head helplessly, "We can't fathom Master Gu's temper."

Ai Xi felt a little unaccustomed to having breakfast without the good looks of an uncle.

"Will Master Gu come back today?" Before going out, she asked the old housekeeper again.

She needs to know if Gu Yunzheng is really angry with her.

The old butler hesitated for a long time: "Master Gu didn't say when he would be home today before he left. The specific situation probably depends on the company's arrangements."

Ai Xi nodded thoughtfully: "Well, all right."

Then I got into the car arranged by the housekeeper and went to school.

In the car, she supported her head with one hand, lowered her eyes slightly, and thought for a long time how to make Gu Yunzheng happy so that he would stop turning a dark face to her.

"Tell me, what kind of gift would a 30-year-old man like?" During English class, Ai Xi asked Shen Xuening who was sitting beside her.

"You want to give that uncle a gift?" Shen Xuening was stunned.

Ai Xi shrugged her head, puffed her cheeks, and looked worried: "I seem to have offended uncle, I think I can save it."

Shen Xuening also seriously offered her advice: "I think, since Gu Yunzheng is not short of money, it doesn't matter whether you give him expensive or cheap gifts, the most important thing is your heart."

"Intention?" Ai Xi silently recited these two words in her heart, thoughtfully.

The eyeballs rolled around twice, and she suddenly realized...

After school in the evening, Ai Xi came to the car that had been waiting early and knocked on the window.

The driver poked his head out of the car: "Ma'am?"

"Can you wait here for a while? I have something to do, and it's near the school."

After greeting the driver, she went straight to the clay sculpture creative hall near the school.

When we got back to the villa, it was already very late.

"Where's uncle?" Ai Xi asked impatiently.

"Master Gu is in the study." Uncle Li pointed to the upstairs.

So, Ai Xi took the things she had prepared for the uncle and jumped upstairs.

Knocking on the door of the study, the uncle's deep and magnetic voice came from inside.

"Come in."

Opening the door of the study, Ai Xi shuddered, feeling a feeling of cold air.

Ai Xi glanced in the direction where Gu Yunzheng was, and then forced a sweet smile at Gu Yunzheng.

"Uncle, are you working?"

He replied in a lukewarm tone: "Yeah." He frowned again in an instant, "Is there something wrong?"

Ai Xi took out the gadget in her hand and shook it in front of Gu Yunzheng.

"Uncle, guess what this is?"

Gu Yunzheng stared at the ugly thing that could barely recognize its shape, and said in a deep voice, "Duck?"

The expression on Ai Xi's face suddenly froze, and after a long time, she stared at Gu Yunzheng again: "Uncle, your eyesight is too bad, right? You see swans as ducks, alas, how can I say hello?"

"..." Gu Yunzheng's face darkened.

Is it because he has bad eyesight?Obviously something made by someone is completely different.

Bringing such an ugly thing is simply disgusting, do you think he is not cruel enough?

Gu Yunzheng subconsciously reached out and pressed the center of his eyebrows.

Just about to ask Ai Xi to take Dong away, she looked at him innocently: "Uncle, I made this myself, and it's for you."

Gu Yunzheng frowned, did it by himself?For him?

In the next second, he was stunned for a moment when he met those eyes that were shining like crystals.

Ai Xi stared at Gu Yunzheng's handsome face for a long time, feeling that he didn't seem to like him, and was afraid that he would say no.

So, he quickly put the gadget in his hand on the desk in front of Gu Yunzheng, and left the study as if fleeing.

Gu Yunzheng looked at the gadget in front of him for a long time, and the figure and picture that she carefully crafted appeared in his mind.

After a long time, he reached out and picked up the "swan" on the desk, and put it into the cabinet beside it.

the beginning of the month.

After Ai Xi checked the balance of the bank card, she found that there were only a few dollars left in the card, so she called her stepmother as usual.

After explaining the situation, a sharp voice came from the other end of the phone, even with bursts of impatience.

"The family has no money to cook. How dare you call me to get money? Let me tell you that this university is a must for you. If you can't afford your own living expenses, then don't study! Waste of money is not Said, it still drags down our family!"

After speaking, the phone was hung up...

Ai Xi was stunned. Usually, every time she asked her stepmother for living expenses, she would never say anything serious like telling her not to go to college.

Lowering her eyes helplessly, she put away her phone and went into the classroom sullenly.

Halfway, a job advertisement caught her attention.

She walked over and took note of the phone number on the job advertisement posted on the tree.

She found a job as a waiter in the miserable restaurant. Although it was very tiring, the treatment was good.

After all, it is a five-star restaurant, and the working environment is not bad. With this part-time job, her living expenses can be considered settled.

It's just that her rest time is completely occupied, not only that, she has to be busy every day until around ten o'clock in the evening before returning to the villa.

As for Gu Yunzheng, he also noticed that something was wrong with Ai Xi's state recently.

So, on Saturday, he deliberately waited in the living room until he saw a petite and slightly tired figure appear in sight.

"Why did you come home so late recently? Huh?" He asked in a low voice.

Ai Xi just glanced at Gu Yunzheng silently, but couldn't help feeling flustered, and hurriedly explained: "There are a lot of exams recently, and I'm studying in the library."

In fact, it's not a shame to have a part-time job outside, but she somehow felt that if Gu Yunzheng found out about this, he would definitely be angry.
