Gu Jiuci looked at her phone, unconsciously staring at the black screen, then she opened it again.She was having some trouble sleeping."Gu Jiuci, when did you become so unreasonable? Weren't you terrified of the devil in your last life?"She muttered absent-mindedly to herself and suddenly found that her mind was filled with Huo Mingche's face.His face when he was gazing at her with deep emotion, his face when he peeled shrimps for her, and his face that night when he confined her under his body and asked if she would give him...That image was branded in her mind and was impossible to remove.Gu Jiuci awkwardly covered her eyes with her hand. "Why do I keep thinking of that night?"She suddenly discovered, to her surprise, that she had become less and less afraid of the devil. To the point that the things Huo Mingche had done in her previous life were gradually fading from her mind, and some had even been forgotten.The clock ticked over to 12 p.m. Gu Jiuci was sure she wou
Si Chen made an apologetic expression, but then turned and picked up her phone eagerly and stared intently at her WeChat messages.At this moment, Gu Jiuci's phone also rang. It was a document from Tang Yu. In it was the information concerning the financial status of the Yu Corporation that she had asked him to investigate?What fortuitous timing!Gu Jiuci cheered in her heart and abruptly raised her head to say to Si Chen, "Si Chen, did you really go to the amusement park with Yu Gu that day?""Of course, we went on a lot of rides and even took photos together."Speaking of Yu Gu, Si Chen immediately remembered that day at the amusement park and a content smile curved her lips."Then did he bring up his family's situation with you?"Gu Jiuci questioned her step by step."Family situation... I don't think he did. However, he did talk about our future. Recently, the Yu Corporation has a large project they want to work on with our family. Once we are married, our ties will be fur
"I can't give such a person any chances!"Gu Jiuci's expression fell. "Looks like Chenchen is more infatuated with Yu Gu than I thought."She seemed to see herself in Si Chen. "How can I make Si Chen see the truth?""Alright, let's not talk about Yu Gu anymore. Let's keep practicing. There isn't much time until the interview with Juilliard!"Si Chen voluntarily changed the subject and Gu Jiuci couldn't say anything more.At dinner time, Si Chen's mother warmly invited Gu Jiuci to eat with them. Si Chen's father was busy at the company and so the three women ate together. During this time, the television was playing the hourly news."Next, we are deeply sorry to bring you the news that the world-famous physicist Stephen passed away three minutes ago. A brilliant star in the history of human civilization has fallen."Gu Jiuci stared at the television and her face immediately paled. Her fingers shook so hard that she couldn't hold her chopsticks steady. If not for this news reminde
"Ci? Why are you back?"Gu Qingyuan pushed open the door and entered. Behind him was Su Furong and Xu Yun'er.Gu Jiuci turned and swept her eyes over the three of them. It looked as if they had come back together again."I...""Ci, your cousin has already told me what happened at the meeting today. What are we going to do about your competitive personality? If not for your cousin smoothing things over for you... who knows how many people you would have offended already?"Before Gu Jiuci could finish speaking, Old Gu began speaking his thoughts and interrupted her."As I said, it's best if Yun'er is with Ci, this way they can look after each other."Su Furong immediately took advantage of the situation and didn't give Gu Jiuci any chance to cut in."Looks like the mother and daughter have successfully enchanted Old Gu even more!"Gu Jiuci narrowed her eyes slightly and gave a thoughtful at Su Furong and Xu Yun'er."In the past, I didn't consider things thoroughly enough. Now t
"Ci, how can you be so immature? Hurry up and let your brother leave!"Even Old Gu was staring unhappily at Gu Jiuci."I..."Gu Jiuci unobtrusively dodged Su Furong's hand. With no other choice, she said, "I just wanted to get a ride with brother to go back to the Phoenix Lodge. Brother, isn't it on the way to the company?"Since she couldn't stop her brother leaving, then she would take a step back and go with him.Her brother was just about to speak when Su Furong immediately cut across him."Look at the time. Isn't Huo Mingche on a business trip? Sleep at home tonight.""Aunt, why do you know Brother Che's schedule better than I do? What if he comes home tonight and gets angry because I'm not there?"Or are you very sure that he won't be back tonight?"Gu Jiuci narrowed her eyes and stared meaningfully at Su Furong.Panic flashed through Su Furong's eyes. "Damn! When did this girl become so clever?""That's right, how do you know about Huo Mingche's schedule?"Old Gu als
As the car drew nearer to the bridge, Gu Jiuci became more and more anxious. "What can I do to make brother stop?""Ci, you seem to have something on your mind. Why do you look so uncomfortable?"Gu Qian tilted his head to evaluate his sister. From when they were home earlier, he could see that there was something wrong with his sister."Brother, you're the CEO of the corporation. What matter could make you, the CEO, go to the company at this time?"Gu Jiuci was so nervous she didn't know what to say and could only scramble for a random topic."It's like this. We have a government project and we are putting in bids with other companies. Now the economic plan for the project has reached a crucial moment and we need to discuss it together.""Can't they send the economic plan to you? Why do you need to go to the company personally?"Gu Jiuci spoke in an irritated tone. "Isn't this excuse too flimsy?" To her, it reeked of conspiracy."I don't have anything else to do right now anyw
Gu Jiuci's expression also changed immediately. "Looks like the trajectory of my previous life hasn't changed, there was still an accident on the bridge."The commercial car was too unlucky. "Just because it was similar to Brother's car, it became the scapegoat."Since the hidden opponent in the dark didn't succeed this time, they would probably try again. Gu Jiuci furrowed her brows, and she had to make her brother aware of this."My god! Isn't this commercial car the one we saw earlier? It looks a lot like our car!" Gu Jiuci said in a purposely exaggerated tone as she stole a glance at her brother.Gu Qian stared at the television thoughtfully.She immediately took the opportunity and added, "Brother, do you think this is a normal car crash? Or do you think someone didn't like the look of this commercial car and purposely laid a trap?""He probably wasn't the target, and the target probably was me."Gu Qian was silent for a moment then pulled out his phone with a cold laugh. H
When he got to the end, her brother's expression was particularly serious.Gu Jiuci's heart trembled and her eyes prickled. In both her lives, her brother had said the exact same thing."Perhaps I can let slip some clues for him to pick up on. Given his intelligence, he will slowly come to the right conclusion himself."At this moment, she made a decision."I didn't mean to hide it from you on purpose. It's just that I'm afraid everyone will scold me after I say it and probably no one will believe me.""Who would dare to scold you! I'll be the first to teach them a lesson! Rest assured and speak bravely."Gu Qian smiled gently, but his tone was very serious."I think..."Gu Jiuci clenched her fist and gathered her courage to spit it all out at once."I think Aunt and Cousin aren't sincere in being good to our family. They are after something. Just then, Aunt desperately wanted you to leave the house and I felt like something was wrong. That's why I purposely ruined your journe
