After Gu Jingcheng left, Shen Li finally felt relieved.

He picked up the bottle of water with a look of despair, like a salted fish, and drank it all up in one gulp.

She was thinking, why not take advantage of the dark and windy night to run back home and end it all.

"There are no buses at this time of night, so taking a taxi must be very expensive. It's such a long distance on a bike, what if I run into a drunk or a hooligan..."

Shen Li muttered to himself, then shook his head to dispel those bad thoughts.

"never mind······"

Shen Li tiptoed back to Gu Jingcheng's bedroom, where he was already lying down with his eyes closed.

All the lights in the room were turned off, except for the night light on the side of the sofa where she slept.

Shen Li simply took a shower to wash away the sweat that had just appeared on his body.

Apart from fatigue, there is no other abnormality in my body now. It seems that this method is effective.

Perhaps it was because he had just arrived in an unfamiliar environment, or perhaps it was because he was thinking about Chen Pingan, or perhaps it was because there was another person in the same room who was sleeping soundly with steady breathing. Shen Li tossed and turned until the second half of the night when he finally fell asleep.

The biological clock is truly a magical thing.

Even though he went to bed late, Shen Li woke up at the usual time.

I stretched in bed, slowly opened my eyes, and found that I didn't wake up in a familiar place. I sat up with a startle.

"Hiss~~"

The soreness in her muscles made her mind extremely clear.

She moved to the Gu family, and this is Gu Jingcheng's room.

Gu Jingcheng was no longer on the bed; he had gotten up earlier than Shen Li.

Shen Li moved his aching body, quickly washed up, and hurried to work.

When I went downstairs, I met the servant who was working in the living room.

The servants saw her holding her waist and walking in a strange posture, so they couldn't help but look at her curiously.

She could only smile awkwardly as a way of greeting them.

At the same time, he also tried his best to control his body so that others would not notice anything unusual.

A middle-aged woman who was fiddling with flowers looked at her companion and then walked over to Shen Li.

"Young Madam, do you need help?"

Faced with the sudden concern and the other party's respectful attitude, Shen Li felt a little at a loss.

Subconsciously, she was not some delicate and precious daughter of a rich family, so it was really unnecessary.

I politely declined: "Thank you, no need to bother, I'm fine."

"You don't have to be so polite. Ever since you entered the Gu family, Butler Jin has specifically instructed us servants to take good care of the young lady of the Gu family."

Young Madam! Shen Li was really not used to being addressed like that.

"Sister, how should I address you? Don't always call me Young Madam. It sounds weird to me. Just call me Shen Li."

After hearing what Shen Li said, Qian Hui was a little surprised.

It's not because of anything else, I just think she is too approachable.

For those who do this job, it is inevitable to have to please others or be deliberately made things difficult for them.

Although such things rarely happen in the Gu family on weekdays, no one knows what kind of personality the new granddaughter-in-law of the Gu family has.

After this brief contact, everyone had a good impression of Shen Li. He was not as difficult to serve as others had previously guessed.

Qian Hui smiled and replied to Shen Li: "The rules cannot be broken. I am older, so everyone can call me Sister Qian. Madam, you can call me whatever you want."

In fact, it is not entirely because Qian Hui is old. She has been in the Gu family for some years. Except for Uncle Jin, all the other servants in the family are arranged by her.

Shen Li felt a little helpless at the name Qian Hui blurted out. He opened his mouth but finally gave up.

"Sister Qian, you are busy. I am in a hurry."

After Shen Li finished speaking, he nodded at her and walked towards the door.

I hadn't taken two steps with my aching body when I heard Gu Zhengrong's voice from behind me.

"Girl Li."

Shen Li quickly turned around and greeted Gu Zhengrong behind him: "Good morning, Grandpa."

"Why do you seem to be limping when I see you walking from a distance?"

"It's okay, grandpa. It may be because I haven't exercised for too long. I feel pain all over my body when I move casually."

When Gu Zhengrong saw Shen Li's expression, he was shocked.

"Hey, why do you look so bad? Didn't you get enough rest last night?"

Shen Li touched her face. She was in a hurry so she just washed her face with water and didn't pay attention to looking in the mirror.

I think it’s because I stayed up too late last night, and I changed to a new environment and didn’t get enough rest.

However, Uncle Jin, who was pushing the wheelchair behind Gu Zhengrong, smiled knowingly, leaned over and whispered something in Gu Zhengrong's ear.

Then Gu Zhengrong looked at Shen Li again, with smiles in his eyes.

"Haha, I'm old and confused. Let's go have breakfast."

When Shen Li saw Uncle Jin, she thought of the two bowls of "tonifying" soup he brought her last night, and what the hell she had just said!!!

What does it mean that she hasn't exercised for a long time? She couldn't say that Gu Jingcheng dragged her to the treadmill in the middle of the night, right?

Now, this is a complete misunderstanding. God knows she wants to find a hole to crawl into right here.

But she just couldn't explain it, so she could only blush and smile awkwardly.

At this time, Gu Jingcheng, who had been exercising in the morning, also came back.

He was wearing a grey casual outfit, with a towel around his neck and his hair tips slightly wet.

He strode closer, squatted down and greeted Gu Zhengrong, "Grandpa, how are you feeling today? Are you feeling well?"

Gu Zhengrong smiled happily, grabbed his grandson's hand and patted it happily: "I'm fine, come and wash up and have breakfast with me."

"it is good."

Gu Jingcheng agreed, then stood up. Seeing Shen Li standing there, he looked at the time anxiously.

So, when I passed by her, I took out my cell phone and sent him a message.

【Eat breakfast, there is still time】

When Shen Li heard the message, she thought it was a life-saving straw urging her to go to work, but when she saw that it was sent by Gu Jingcheng, she was instantly disappointed.

When I saw the message, I was even more worried: Of course you are not in a hurry, it’s not you who is having your salary deducted.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Jingcheng sent another message.

[Assistant Chen is waiting outside. It will take less than half an hour to drive you there. I will double your salary if it is deducted.]

It's really his usual style, using money to attack people.

For the sake of money, Shen Li would not go against it, so he put away his phone and accompanied Gu Zhengrong towards the restaurant.

On the way, Shen Li apologized to Gu Zhengrong and explained: "I'm sorry, Grandpa, I should have been at home with you, but I didn't ask for leave in advance from the nursing home, so there's really no one who can take my place..."

She was nervous when she said this, fearing that Gu Zhengrong would ask her not to go.

After all, this job is totally unnecessary for her current status.

He might even think that it brings disgrace to the Gu family and ask her to quit.

But Gu Zhengrong just waved his hand and said, "You don't have to stay with me all day. I have someone to accompany me. Just go and do whatever you want. Come back in the evening and talk to me or take a walk."

Without saying anything else, Shen Li was really glad that Mr. Gu didn't think that way.

"Thank you, Grandpa. I'll come back in the evening to walk and chat with you."

As we were talking, we had already arrived at the restaurant.

The breakfast was so sumptuous that it exceeded Shen Li's imagination.

Even Gu Jingcheng was stunned when he saw the full table after washing up.
