At this time, Zhuang Tianhui asked Gu Yun to invite her upstairs, what else could she say?

Ji Yaoyao knew it well, but she had no room to refuse.

She raised her eyes and glanced at Gu Yun.

The woman was as usual, exuding an unattainable chill, without any expression on her face.

Ji Yaoyao took a deep breath of the suffocatingly cold night air, straightened her wrinkled skirt, stood up from the flower table, and followed Gu Yun upstairs.

Zhuang Tianhui was waiting for her in the study. In front of the thick mahogany door, Gu Yun didn't seem to intend to go in, but raised her head to signal Ji Yaoyao: "Go in."

This was the first time she had spoken to herself since the last time.

Ji Yaoyao reached out and pushed the door open, and saw Zhuang Tianhui sitting on the sofa.

"Auntie." She whispered.

"Miss Ji is here." Zhuang Tianhui put down the teacup in his hand and waved to her, "Come, come and sit."

Although the woman is nearly fifty years old, she takes good care of herself, her skin is so smooth that there are no wrinkles on her face, and when she smiles, she naturally loses a sense of realism.

Ji Yaoyao walked over and sat down on the sofa opposite her.

"Is Miss Ji thirsty?" Although Zhuang Tianhui was asking, he had already picked up the teapot, poured a cup of clear tea into the cup, and handed it to her table, "Come, have a cup of tea to warm yourself up."

"Thank you." Ji Yaoyao carefully held the teacup with both hands.

"You're welcome, since Ms. Ji is Fei Ran's friend, she is also my friend." Zhuang Tianhui asked, "What do you think of this tea?"

Ji Yaoyao doesn't know how to taste tea, but she can feel the extraordinary Chen Yun in it: "It's very fragrant."

Zhuang Tianhui smiled and said: "This tea is called Jingua Gongcha. It is said that it was offered to the court in the early years for the emperor and concubines to quote. Even the water used to make the tea is the unique mountain spring water on the local tea mountain, so that it can be extracted. original taste."

Ji Yaoyao didn't expect that Zhuang Tianhui was so calm and chatted with her about tea culture.

But no matter what she said, Ji Yaoyao could only listen obediently until Zhuang Tianhui changed the subject: "Miss Ji, good tea must be paired with good water."

Sure enough, what should come has come.

Ji Yaoyao put down the teacup in her hand: "Auntie is right."

She lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to the eye, but Zhuang Tianhui couldn't let it go: "It seems that Miss Ji is also a sensible person, so let me just say it straight. Feiran is simple-minded, and he was well protected by his sister and our parents since childhood. He just now Still defending with me, saying that you are not wrong. He can't play with a girl like you. "

"Auntie." Ji Yaoyao couldn't help but argue, "You misunderstood..."

"I heard from others that you're still an Internet celebrity?" Zhuang Tianhui didn't seem to hear Ji Yaoyao's words, and said, "As long as you stay away from Feiran, even though our Gu family is not very powerful, we can give you some resources."

"But...if you still pester Feiran, then don't blame me for not being sympathetic."

Ji Yaoyao looked at Zhuang Tianhui with a face full of disbelief.

She continued to speak unhurriedly: "Feiran is the future successor of the Gu family. He is different from other playboys and should not have anything to do with women who are not worthy of him. Miss Ji, I have a lot to say, listen understand?"

Not only did Ji Yaoyao hear clearly, she also heard clearly.

Although she knew that Gu Feiran was the crown prince of the Gu Group, Ji Yaoyao didn't feel any sense of oppression when getting along with him.

Only when facing mother Zhuang at this moment, can she really feel that the so-called high-ranking person soaked in money and power has the power to crush people with a single word.

And the other party's high-ranking charity, just like the big family who sent beggars in ancient times, there is a bit of disgust hidden in the kindness of not wanting their own threshold to be trampled.

If it was in the past, Ji Yaoyao might be able to ask Mrs. Zhuang to write a check for herself as a guarantee.

It's just that she experienced too many unprecedented situations tonight, so she just wished she could find a place to hide earlier, so that no one could see her.

Ji Yaoyao suddenly stood up from her seat, her face was a little pale: "Auntie, I understand what you said, don't worry, I will never disturb Mr. Gu in the future."

After all, Ji Yaoyao didn't wait for Zhuang Tianhui's reaction, and went straight to the door.

The door of the study was pulled open abruptly, and Ji Yaoyao happened to meet Gu Yun's sideways gaze.

She paused, pretending not to see, turned her head and lifted the hem of her skirt, and trotted downstairs.

The only good thing is that the guests in the hall were almost scattered, and no one saw his embarrassed appearance.

The fountain in front of the door was splashing, Ji Yaoyao just wanted to leave quickly.

Anxiously unable to eat hot tofu, the [-]cm rhinestone high heels under her feet did not step on firmly for some reason, Ji Yaoyao staggered and fell down the three-story high steps in front of the villa.

Ji Yaoyao got up quickly, picked up her bag in a hurry, and the lipstick air cushion mascara scattered all over the floor.

She ignored the occasional gazes from around her, pretended nothing happened, and walked towards the parking spot.

Unexpectedly, just after walking three or two steps, there was a piercing pain in the ankle.

No need to look down, Ji Yaoyao also knew that her sprained ankle was seriously injured.

She bit her lower lip tightly to prevent others from seeing her discomfort, and continued to walk forward in circles.

The night wind was mixed with thin water lines, and it was raining.

After finally moving outside, Ji Yaoyao looked around, but she didn't see the driver and the car. She turned on the phone and saw more than ten missed calls from more than an hour ago, all of which were from the driver, but she didn't hear it at the time. .

Finally, the driver sent a text message: "I'm sorry, Ms. Ji, my wife is about to give birth in the hospital. I'll drive the car away first, and I'll pick you up later."

Ji Yaoyao stared at the text message until the screen was wet by raindrops and it was so blurry that she couldn't see anything clearly.

She gritted her teeth and threw the phone viciously.

With a bang, the phone case was smashed to pieces.

Ji Yaoyao's breathing fluctuated up and down, her face turned red and turned pale, she stood there for a long time, finally calmed down, walked over and squatted down to pick up the phone.

Fortunately, although the screen is broken, it still works.

She turned on the software and could only hail a car online to go home.

The birthday party was held at Gu's villa halfway up the mountain. This is a suburb far away from the urban area. Ji Yaoyao squatted on the side of the road and waited for a long time, but she didn't wait for the driver to pick up the order.

Yusi wet her long hair, and there was also a sticky wet feeling on the close-fitting dress.

When Gu Yun walked out, what she saw was Ji Yaoyao who was squatting on the side of the road with her back to her, waiting for the bus.

Her eyes sank, and before she had time to react, she heard the assistant beside her whisper: "Mr. Gu, that's not Miss Ji..."

Li Wei met Gu Yun's cold gaze and swallowed the last "?"

It's just that Ji Yaoyao has heard her voice and turned around.

Her hair was wet, her skirt was wet, and her eyes were wet too, like an abandoned puppy.

Seeing Gu Yun, Ji Yaoyao recalled those unpleasant things tonight.

Subconsciously, as if she was being burned, she suddenly turned her head and stopped looking.

What's going on here?

Li Wei was a little puzzled, didn't Yaoyao always cling to her boss in the past?

When she couldn't figure it out, Gu Yun had already strode towards another direction.

Li Wei didn't have time to think about it, so she hurriedly followed with an umbrella.

Gu Yun's car was parked not far away, Li Wei graciously helped her open the door, and then she followed to sit in the co-pilot.

When the car started, Li Wei looked back at Ji Yaoyao, who was still squatting on the spot with a dazed expression on her face, and couldn't bear to say: "Miss Ji...you look pretty pitiful."

It was quite pitiful to see, a sarcasm appeared in Gu Yun's eyes.

But who knows if that is another method of hers?

She really underestimated this woman again and again, and Gu Yun, who was used to seeing various scenes in the circle, was amazed by her ability to attract flowers and attract butterflies.

Gu Yun closed her eyes and stopped thinking about it.

After a short rest, she turned on the computer and started working.

.

Ji Yaoyao repeatedly refreshed the taxi page, but still did not wait for the driver to accept the order.

The rain was getting heavier, she sighed softly, and hid from the side of the road under the big tree surrounding the wall.

The high-heeled shoes were kicked away by her, anyway, the skirt was muddy when it fell down, and it was already dirty, so Ji Yaoyao didn't have to worry about it, and simply sat on the table by the wall.

Besides, she knew that from tonight, her dream was completely shattered.

Gu Yun won't look back, why does she need to stay beautiful?

Ji Yaoyao just wants to go back and have a good sleep.

After waiting for a while, she saw Zhou Qingyun walking out with someone she didn't know, and they seemed to be discussing something.

Ji Yaoyao looked at it distractedly, without thinking about anything in her mind.

Until the other party got into the car first, Zhou Qingyun seemed to feel her gaze and turned around.

She paused, but still came over: "Why are you here?"

"Waiting for the bus." Ji Yaoyao remained expressionless.

Zhou Qingyun nodded, there was nothing to say between the two of them, after a while, Ji Yaoyao looked up at her: "Why isn't Director Zhou leaving?"

Zhou Qingyun frowned slightly: "You don't look right."

Although Zhou Qingyun was usually aloof, but after all, she was a colleague, so she still had to care as she should.

Ji Yaoyao pulled the corner of her lower lip: "Don't worry, what can I do?"

Zhou Qingyun was silent for a while: "Don't worry about what happened tonight."

She is not good at comforting people, but her words touched Ji Yaoyao's heart.

Ji Yaoyao smiled.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhou Qingyun was puzzled.

"What am I laughing at?" Ji Yaoyao said with self-mockery in her tone, "I know, you must look down on me in your heart, people like you who were born in Rome, people like me with small thoughts are like clowns."

She wiped away the non-existent tears, and continued: "It's nothing, I know this is what I deserve, what people want, they have to pay something else in exchange."

She will not be defeated easily, and one day, she will get everything she wants.

Even if there is no Gu Yun, there will be other people. She is still young and still has many opportunities.

Originally, it was good that Zhou Qingyun didn't come to ask, but after talking to her a few words, Ji Yaoyao was really about to cry.

Zhou Qingyun sighed softly: "Get in my car, I'll take you back."

"No." Ji Yaoyao lowered her eyes, "I'm very dirty, I'm afraid I'll dirty Director Zhou's car."

Besides, being with Zhou Qingyun now will only make her keep thinking about what happened, it's like being scraped by a knife over and over again.

Zhou Qingyun had no choice but to say, "Since you don't want to get in the car, then I'll stay here and wait with you."

.

The car passed another intersection, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the wipers kept swaying on the glass, making a swishing sound.

Through the glass, the red light at the intersection appeared vaguely.

A thunderbolt fell, and Gu Yun suddenly stopped typing on the keyboard, as if thinking of something.

The next second, the red light jumped to a green light, and the driver stepped on the accelerator to cross the intersection.

Gu Yun said almost without thinking: "Stop."

The driver hurriedly stepped on the brakes, turned around and asked, "Does Mr. Gu have any orders?"

"Reverse, go back." Gu Yun lay back on the back of the car seat, rubbing the center of her brows with her fingers.
