"Even if you dressed as pretty as a butterfly, Huo Mingche wouldn't even spare you a glance. Besides, the windows of the Rolls-Royce are tinted and firmly hide the devil from view."Xu Yun'er peered left and right but couldn't catch a glimpse of Huo Mingche. She could only watch as the luxurious Rolls-Royce drove away from her and grit her teeth secretly.However, she couldn't expose herself in front of Gu Jiuci. She had to swallow her emotions and resist her regret as she smiled at Gu Jiuci."It's not a coincidence, I was waiting for you. Didn't you promise me to go meet Jiang Yutang at the airport yesterday? Why didn't you go in the end? Jiang Yutang ended up missing his flight because he was waiting for you."Xu Yun'er purposely spoke in an accusing tone. She wanted to put pressure on Gu Jiuci with her words."Yesterday, Brother Che came back. Compared to him, naturally, Jiang Yutang isn't so important anymore. Besides, I've already made everything clear to Jiang Yutang. There'
Only silence greeted Zhan Ying's question.The man rolled down the windows, and his deep gaze fell on the scenery rapidly flying by. The sun suddenly entered a patch of cloud and the scenery immediately dimmed."Completely trust her?"He had wanted to do that countless times in the past, but never had it brought him anything."Xiao Jiu'er, are you speaking the truth this time, or is it a long-term lie?"On the tree-lined avenue...Gu Jiuci took out her phone and added the name for the devil's new number.Raising her head, she realized that the day had suddenly darkened without her notice and the air was feeling very hot and humid. The weather in June changed in a heartbeat, and it looked like it was going to pour down rain."I need to hurry to practice."She immediately increased her speed and dashed toward the music building. Just as she was about to reach the door to the building, another girl just happened to come out. Gu Jiuci didn't control her speed in time and crashed i
"Mhm... The Golden Butterfly Award is one that all young musicians in the world dream of, and she's achieved it."Gu Jiuci answered absent-mindedly, but her mind was filled with images of her past with Si Chen. Particularly when they went their separate ways...Before her mother passed away, everything in her life had gone smoothly. She had two older brothers who doted on their sister, and she had a best friend that she met in kindergarten and was very close to, one that she fully considered a true sister. That person was Si Chen.However, she had personally destroyed this friendship that was admired by all...Ever since Xu Yun'er moved into the Gu Family and started at S-Elite High School with her, everything changed.In her past life, Si Chen had actually reminded her that there was something wrong with Xu Yun'er and Jiang Yutang. But at that time, she was already under their spell and purposely misunderstood Si Chen to be targeting her cousin and didn't wish for her to be happy
"How can it be..."The girl ran to the window and listened more closely, but right at that moment, the melody of "Butterfly Lovers" ended."Ah... Her passions never last long, how could she have picked up the violin again?"A bitter and mocking expression rose on her face. She was probably too tired recently and that was why she was having these laughable auditory hallucinations.In the music room upstairs...Gu Jiuci just noticed that she was playing a part of "Butterfly Lovers" and immediately stopped. At the same time, her phone rang. It was a call from the author of "Our Best Time", Shu Ya."Hello? Ci, is now a good time to talk?""It's fine, what's up?"Gu Jiuci closed the window and walked to the center of the room."It's like this. All of the castings have concluded for 'Our Best Time'. Before entering the crew, there's still makeup tests for the role and photos for the posters. Most importantly, there have been changes to the script and a large portion is related to yo
"Okay, I'll be sure to keep it a secret and won't let anything slip!"Gu Jiuci immediately raised her fingers and made an oath to the empty air. Abruptly, lightning flashed outside and a boom rang out.Shu Ya and Gu Jiuci were both speechless."Why do I have to be slapped in the face like this every time I make an oath? God, how little do you trust me!""Hahaha... Sister Shu Ya, it's raining and thundering here. I'll hang up now...""All right. I heard all of the actors have signed their contract now and there's just you left. You have to hurry! Many people have their eyes on the role of Mu Cheng, so don't let someone take it from you.""I know."Gu Jiuci awkwardly hung up. After a moment, Shu Ya sent a brand new script over.She immediately opened it and flipped to the page with the list of actors. As expected, Xu Yun'er's name was listed clearly. Fortunately, it was for the role of the sixth female, as expected. She hadn't caused any issues.At this time, a WeChat message ca
"Aunt Ming isn't coming to deliver lunch to me today," Gu Jiuci said with an innocent expression, pretending not to know Xu Yun'er's ulterior motive."Huh? Why not? Did you argue with Mr. Huo again?"A glimmer of schadenfreude flashed through Xu Yun'er's eyes, then she quickly recovered her surprised expression.Gu Jiuci laughed coldly to herself. Xu Yun'er's words had already exposed her. She must have sent something to the devil. What a pity, it was useless now."We haven't. Old Gu isn't giving me any pocket money. If the devil isn't here, then Aunt Ming will bring me lunch at school."Now that the devil has returned, I'll go have lunch at his company. Last time you dragged me to the cafeteria and I forgot to tell him, he was very unhappy."Gu Jiuci purposely acted indifferently and casually spoke of the daily routines she had with Huo Mingche."He was unhappy?"Xu Yun'er unconsciously clenched her fists in anger, she didn't even feel her nails digging deep into her flesh. Sh
In an instant, Xu Yun'er completely wilted like an eggplant after a frost.Going to Huo Mingche's office again, Gu Jiuci wasn't as reserved as her first time. She didn't need Zhan Ying to show her the way as she made her familiar way up the elevator.The elevator headed straight for the top floor. The door to the chairman's office was open. It seemed that Huo Mingche had not yet returned from his meeting.Gu Jiuci sauntered in and her eyes immediately widened in surprise. She unintentionally took a few steps back. She glanced back at the door to confirm that she hadn't walked into the wrong room.In the massive office, space had been sectioned out using pink hanging beads. Faintly, she could see a girlish sofa bed behind the curtain and there were even a pink heart-shaped carpet and pink heart-shaped pillows.Aside from the games and entertainment systems, there were a few boxes of snacks and fruits beneath the tea table."My God..."Gu Jiuci couldn't hold back sighing. She reme
Huo Mingche took out his phone and checked the caller display, but didn't prevent Gu Jiuci from seeing it. He immediately accepted the call.Gu Jiuci was sitting right next to the devil and by stretching her neck and perking up her ears, she could easily tell who was on the phone."Mingche, come back to the family home this weekend. The engagement dinner was... too rushed. There were also many relatives who weren't able to make it. It would be a good time to get together this weekend."On the phone, Mother Huo's voice rang out and pulled up memories in Gu Jiuci's mind.In her previous life, Mother and Father Huo were both strongly against this marriage. After all, who would want their talented son to marry such a useless, waste of a wife?Nevertheless, they couldn't stand against Grandfather Huo and the devil himself's insistence and the engagement dinner went ahead as planned. Besides, Mother Huo had not invited many friends as she was afraid of embarrassment. She didn't even inv
