As soon as Gu Qingqing returned to the Gu residence, she received a call from An Susu. The call had been ringing for a long time and was about to stop when...

She answered the phone: "Hello, Sister Susu... It's me? I just got home. I was out playing for a long time... Ah! I've been with my second brother the whole time. You must have mistaken me for someone else! I wasn't in the silver-gray car. My second brother drives a red car... Okay, see you tonight!"

After hanging up the phone, Gu Qingqing lowered her eyes and sighed inwardly:

An Susu was incredibly impatient on the phone, questioning why she hadn't answered her calls all day. She even said she saw her get into a silver-gray luxury car, wondering if it was a new friend. How come she didn't know? Why didn't she tell her? She was worried all day, thinking she'd gotten into a stranger's car and fearing for her safety. She almost called the police, thankfully she finally answered.

Gu Qingqing sneered. She deliberately didn't answer An Susu's calls all day or give her a reply to let her know she was safe.

An Susu is like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken; she has ulterior motives.

Everyone knew she wanted to know her exact address and had secretly come to see Fu Jue.

Settling down, quietly.

Aside from the patter of rain, the only other sound was the ticking of the clock on the wall.

In the pink-toned bedroom, An Susu stood in front of the dressing table, holding up a bright red dress and trying it on.

Despite the terrible weather, it did not dampen her good mood at all.

Today is her birthday, she should be happy.

Ever since An Susu met Fu Jue at the movie theater, she has kept him in her heart.

When she saw Gu Qingqing get into a silver-gray luxury car outside the school gate, her first instinct told her that the man in the car must be Fu Jue.

Unfortunately, Gu Qingqing refused to tell the truth on the phone, leaving her unable to confirm her intuition and thoughts.

Gu Qingqing is so annoying, how could she lie?

I'm her best friend, after all. She keeps making new friends from me, and she's worried about skipping class to go out and play. Who knows what else she's hiding from me?

How did she change so much?

The Gu residence was bustling with activity.

Gu Mu tied on an apron and personally cooked dinner. He was busy in the kitchen, but after finishing the meal, Gu Qingqing didn't come to eat with him.

"I won't allow you to go! Who does she think she is? It's just a lousy birthday party, is it worth your attendance? You are the eldest daughter of the Gu family, she's not afraid of shortening her lifespan." Gu Mu was so angry when he learned that Gu Qingqing was going to attend An Susu's birthday party tonight that he smashed a cup.

My younger sister is still disobedient. They all told her to stop associating with An Susu, thinking that she would keep her word if she agreed, but she still does it.

"Second brother, I'll only be gone for a short while, I'll be right back. I have something important to do. Please don't be angry, and please don't stop me, okay?" Gu Qingqing had already decided to wait until evening to give An Susu a big gift as a way of repaying her kindness and making sure that An Susu's concern for her was not in vain.

Therefore, she was determined to attend An Susu's birthday party, and Gu Mu's objections were useless.

"Qingqing..." Gu Mu felt terrible. His younger sister was disobedient, and he couldn't hit or scold her. He didn't know how to discipline this rebellious little girl.

"Second brother, believe me." Gu Qingqing hugged him, giving him a warm embrace to let him know her feelings.

Besides that, she didn't know how else to persuade or comfort him.

Because the original owner's past relationship with An Susu had affected him too much, he is now very afraid that she will go to An Susu again and that they will return to each other.

In the original book, Gu Qingqing is a naive and innocent girl, simple-minded, single-minded, lacking social experience, unaware of the wickedness of people's hearts, and easily fooled and brainwashed by a few sweet words from An Susu and An Haonan.

She had no doubts about them, but her sincerity and dedication did not earn their sincerity or appreciation.
