Ji Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes, feeling very ashamed.

She was surrounded by love since birth, with loving parents, an older brother, and a younger brother. She felt that everyone in the world was like this.

She was wrong.

Gu Chusheng worriedly put his arm around her shoulders and let her lean on him.

"Don't think too much. This matter has nothing to do with you. Whether they succeed or not, Qin Zhizhi is just their pawn. Even if she doesn't sacrifice herself now, she will be used as a shield one day in the future."

He was used to business tactics in the workplace, and this was just the most basic one.

Ji Ming had no expression on his face. He had seen many people like Boss Qin, but there were very few who would use their daughter as a stepping stone. He began to doubt whether Qin Zhizhi was his biological daughter.

Ji Yu glanced at Gu Chusheng's hand on Ji Xiaoxiao's shoulder and frowned slightly, but didn't dare to show it too obviously.

"Then what should we do now? I'm still waiting for Qin Zhizhi to clear my name."

This incident is not a big deal in your circle. It will not have any impact on the parties involved if everyone watches it for fun. What’s important is that Ji Yu is a public figure and it will have a great side effect on his career.

"Don't go out these days. I will arrange everything for you at the company." Ji Ming said.

Now they can only take one step at a time and think of a countermeasure based on the situation on Gu Jing's side. They can only investigate Qin Zhizhi's whereabouts in secret.

According to Gu Jing's character, Qin Zhizhi should be hidden in a very secluded place.

Where will it be?

After Gu Chusheng arrived, he did not return to the company. He took all the information to Ji Xiaoxiao's room to process it.

He sat at the desk in her room, his attention completely focused not on his work, but on observing the girl's room from time to time.

This is his first time coming in.

Ji Xiaoxiao brought a plate of cut fruit, noticed his gaze, and smiled.

"Is there anything in my room?"

Gu Chusheng shook his head and looked away, "No."

"Oh."

Ji Xiaoxiao looked at him meaningfully, picked up a piece of strawberry and put it next to his mouth and chuckled,

"This should be your first time in my room. Is it different from what you remember?"

The room is mainly pink and white, with a huge princess bed in the middle and a mosquito net made of white gauze. The cabinets and desks are also pink and white. The carpet beside the bed has a huge white cat pattern with a pink bow hairpin on the kitten's head.

Very girly and warm.

Gu Chusheng nodded. It was the first time he was in such an environment.

Dressed in a black suit, he looked out of place in the room.

"My room is very big. I'll show you around."

Ji Xiaoxiao didn't wait for his answer, took his hand and went to the locker room next door, which was full of clothes.

Skirts, pants, and short-sleeved shirts are arranged in different colors.

"This is all my business. My shoes are in the next room. They can't fit here. There's also another room for jewelry and bags."

Ji Xiaoxiao's room is divided into a main room and three small rooms attached.

Only then did Gu Chusheng realize why he was so emotional after hearing that Qin Zhizhi was betrayed by her own father.

She has always been in a loved family, whether it is her parents or her older and younger brothers, they will do their best to give her the best.

"Xiaoxiao..." Gu Chusheng stopped and his expression was extremely complicated.

Ji Xiaoxiao was just about to turn over her childhood diary to show him, but when she heard this, she looked up at him.

"what happened?"

Gu Chusheng hesitated for a moment and said, "You are very happy. I am afraid that I will not be able to do better than your family in the future..."

In the dressing room of Chenglin Villa, she only had a dozen sets of clothes, and the room was not in her favorite style. The gray tones were very different from her room.

He felt that he was negligent in not taking this into account.

Ji Xiaoxiao stood up and hugged him, burying her head in his chest, "What nonsense are you talking about? You're very good to me, and I feel very, very happy to be with you."

"real."

She knew the environment in which Gu Chusheng grew up, and felt sorry for his past. If she hadn't been lucky enough to have a chance to start over, her good life would have been ruined by her own hands.

She pulled him to the balcony, held his shoulders and let him sit on the swing, then sat down beside him and leaned against him.

At dusk, the sunset glow in the sky made the clouds half red, and the setting sun shone on their cheeks.

"Ah Sheng, I'm actually a very stupid person. I almost killed my beloved family because of my temper. I would quarrel with my brother and father whenever I was unhappy. But I'm luckier than others. I have a chance to start over."

Gu Chusheng lowered his eyes to look at half of her face, and felt that Ji Xiaoxiao was very different at this moment. The thoughts in his heart suddenly became heavier, as if his eyes were filled with despair.

Ji Xiaoxiao raised her eyes and looked at him and smiled, "I am very scared now. I am afraid that one day I will lose you because of my clumsiness."

Talking about her previous life, Ji Xiaoxiao could not hide the pain in her heart, especially the scene when Gu Chusheng died in her arms.

"will not."

Gu Chusheng rubbed the corners of her sore eyes and said gently,

"You are the first person who brought light into my life. I will never leave you no matter what."

Because the Gu Chusheng who leaves you is no longer the original Gu Chusheng, but the Gu Chusheng in the dark corner.

It was already completely dark when Gu Chusheng finished his work. Ji Xiaoxiao lay beside him to keep him company while she was also busy with her own company's business.

At this moment, Gu Chusheng's cell phone vibrated dully. It was Grandma Gu calling.

Gu Chusheng pressed the answer button and turned on the speakerphone.

"Hey, grandma."

"It's eight o'clock, why haven't you brought Xiaoxiao here yet? Did you change your mind? It's not good to be together every day. I know you don't want to bring Xiaoxiao to meet your father. I have moved back to my retirement home. There are no outsiders here. I'm just bored at home alone and want to find someone to relieve my boredom."

Ji Xiaoxiao looked towards Gu Chusheng, covering her mouth and chuckling.

"I understand, grandma. I'm with Xiaoxiao now and will be there soon."

Gu Chusheng said, "She hasn't had dinner yet, make some delicious food."

"it is good."

Grandma Gu hung up the phone happily and immediately informed Auntie to add a few more dishes.

Gu Chusheng took Ji Xiaoxiao downstairs and happened to meet Ji Yu coming towards them.

"Sister, are you losing weight again? You didn't even come down to eat when I asked you to. Are you so busy with your relationship that you don't even have time to eat?"

Ji Yu said sourly.

"Promise Grandma Gu to go to her place for dinner. What are you thinking? Brother is not at home?"

"He's not here. He went back to the company very early. I wanted to go over to help him but he wouldn't let me. He told me to stay at home and not go out."
