Hey! The CEO who just scolded me met someone on a blind date.

"distant?!"

Hearing a soft call from behind, Gu Manyao turned around woodenly and inadvertently caught a glimpse of a sneer on Ye Jingshu's lips.

Suddenly, flashes of light went off everywhere. Gu Xiaochen took off his coat and put it on her head, then quickly hugged her and left the scene.

The reporters present were invited by Gu Manyao in advance to promote her 20th birthday, but they did not expect to capture such an exciting scene.

"Am I seeing things? Did Gu Manyao hit Teacher Ye Jingshu?"

"Hehe, a popular female star slaps a talented violinist who mysteriously makes a comeback. Isn't this a sensational headline?"

"I can't tell. He usually sets a cute and innocent persona, but in private he's actually like this."

"It doesn't matter what kind of person she is. What matters is that I want to get rich!"

The reporters present were all very enthusiastic and contacted their people to prepare the press releases. Even though they might not be able to send it out after preparing it, they could definitely make a lot of money.

Whether it is the Gu family or the Jiang family, they probably don't want this matter to be made public.

Under the pursuit of reporters, Gu Xiaochen had no choice but to take Gu Manyao and hide in the dressing room.

Someone at the door kept shouting, asking Gu Manyao to come out for an interview and explain the matter.

Gu Xiaochen put his hands on his hips and glanced outside the door. He turned around and saw Gu Manyao squatting under the table, hugging her knees, shivering, and the delicate makeup on her face had long been ruined.

"Yaoyao." Gu Xiaochen felt sorry for his sister and went forward to pull her out.

"It's okay. I've already contacted security. Those reporters will leave soon."

Gu Manyao's face was covered with tears. She looked up at him and said, "Brother, my fans...will definitely be disappointed in me."

"No." Gu Xiaochen said affirmatively: "Your fans won't know anything, believe me." Gu Xiaochen patted her head.

"Really?" Gu Manyao's big tearful eyes were full of fear.

"Don't worry." Gu Xiaochen leaned against the corner of the table and nodded.

Gu Manyao also nodded, and then looked at him again, "Brother, do you believe me?"

"Of course, of course I believe you." Gu Xiaochen said affirmatively: "I believe you unconditionally."

Gu Manyao was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "But those people outside the door won't believe me, they only believe what they see. Brother Huaizhou won't stand on my side either, because I hit his Xiao Shu."

Gu Xiaochen put his hands on her shoulders and said, "Other people are not important. I believe in you. You won't hit anyone for no reason."

Gu Manyao's eyes lit up, then dimmed again.

"So, what did she say? You'll do it."

Gu Manyao shook her head.

"Yaoyao, you have to tell your brother so that he can help you, okay?" Gu Xiaochen guided her patiently.

"No... nothing." Gu Manyao lowered her head and refused to look at him.

Looking at his sister like this, Gu Xiaochen guessed something in his heart. He licked his dry lips and whispered, "Did she tell you about our mother?"

After these words were spoken, Gu Manyao could no longer hold back and big tears fell down.

Gu Xiaochen clenched his fists. He wanted to rush out and ask Ye Jingshu why he brought up the past again and deliberately opened up old wounds, but reason overcame impulse.

"Yaoyao, brother has said that our mother is not the mistress as everyone calls her. Remember this clearly!" Gu Xiaochen said in a sonorous and forceful manner.

"But..." Gu Manyao sniffed, "But big brother thinks so, everyone says so, and for so many years, dad has never clarified for mom. If it is really false, it should be clarified!"

Indeed, if it is really false, why not clarify it and let the outside world continue to speculate?

Gu Xiaochen couldn't convince himself of this.

"Yaoyao, it doesn't matter. Just remember that your parents and brother love you. Don't listen to the rumors from the outside world."

Jiang Huaizhou carried Su Zimu to the bed, covered her with a blanket, and smoothed the messy hair off her face.

The person on the bed was breathing evenly and seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.

The cell phone in his arms kept vibrating. Jiang Huaizhou took out his phone and took a look at it, then looked at the person on the bed. He then answered the call and walked out quickly.

When the footsteps could no longer be heard, Su Zimu slowly opened his eyes and let out a long sigh.

She was a little drunk earlier, but she sobered up before she got home. She pretended to be drunk and said those words, which seemed to leave room for both sides.

If he loved her, after hearing what she said, he might be devoted to her.

But now it seems that she is overthinking.

The moment his call was connected, she clearly heard the sweet voice on the other end, she called him Huaizhou.

Su Zimu closed his eyes tightly, and a crystal teardrop slid down from the corner of his eye.

Jiang Huaizhou walked out of the room and came to the corridor. He looked back at the closed door and then said, "Xiao Shu, you said Gu Manyao hit you?"

"Yes, Yaoyao slapped me in front of everyone." Ye Jingshu's aggrieved voice came.

"Then what are you going to do?"

Ye Jingshu's heart skipped a beat. She didn't expect Jiang Huaizhou didn't comfort her, but instead asked her what she planned to do?

It felt like she was being unreasonable.

"Huaizhou, what can I do? Yaoyao and I are good sisters. I didn't expect her to hit me. Do you think she blames me for stealing her limelight?" Ye Jingshu said cautiously, looking forward to the other side's reply.

Jiang Huaizhou was silent for a moment before he said, "I was negligent and shouldn't have taken you there."

"No, no, no, Huaizhou, how could you be wrong? It's me, I don't know what's good for me, I don't know how to follow the host's wishes, it's my fault."

"Alright." Jiang Huaizhou said, "How about we just leave it at that and let Yaoyao apologize to you in private?"

Ye Jingshu: “…” Just like that?

"No, there must be a misunderstanding between us. Just clear it up. No need to apologize. We are still good sisters."

"Okay, then you should have a good rest." Jiang Huaizhou said and hung up the phone.

Ye Jingshu held the phone and stomped his feet hard.

When Jiang Huaizhou returned to the room, Su Zimu really fell asleep this time, but there were still faint traces of tears on his face.

He reached out and wiped her face, which was so itchy that she waved her hand away and fell asleep on her right side.

In the morning, when Su Zimu woke up, Jiang Huaizhou was gone.

She looked at the wrinkled bed sheets and was stunned for a while.

Until Jiang Yi called.

"Hello, Mu Mu, are you okay?" Jiang Yi was full of concern on the other end of the phone.

"I'm fine, what's wrong?"

"Mu Mu, don't pretend in front of me. Jiang Huaizhou's white moonlight has returned to China..." Jiang Yi didn't say anything else.

The three words "Bai Yueguang" are too destructive, and she was afraid that her good friend would be hurt too badly.
