The night before her daughter's death, Bai Shuyu was still desperately calling Gu Hongrui's phone, but all she got was "The number you dialed is unreachable."
Her daughter eve...
When the doorbell rang, Bai Shuyu also hurried to the door.
She opened the door and her eyes fell on Huo Jiaqi.
Before she could even finish her words, Huo Jiaqi was already looking at her nervously: "Are you okay?"
Bai Shuyu cast a suspicious look at him, and Huo Jiaqi met her gaze as well: "Shuyu, why are you looking at me like that?"
She was stunned when she heard this.
Huo Jiaqi also smiled and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"You're still talking about me, isn't this what I want to say to you?"
Bai Shuyu looked at Huo Jiaqi seriously. She looked him up and down and asked, "What's the matter that makes you so nervous?"
Huo Jiaqi was stunned. Bai Shuyu watched patiently. Huo Jiaqi smiled and said, "Shuyu, I'm just worried about you."
She was stunned at first, and then her expression softened instantly.
"Jiaqi, there's absolutely no need for you to worry about me so much."
Huo Jiaqi walked towards the living room, and Bai Shuyu followed. She thought for a moment, and finally said, "You went out, did you get everything done?"
"Chen Luoyi's side..."
Bai Shuyu opened her mouth, but found that she couldn't say a word.
Huo Jiaqi's expression was fixed on her the entire time. When he saw Bai Shuyu's silence, he finally said, "I didn't ask her to resign."
Bai Shuyu heaved a sigh of relief. Looking at Huo Jiaqi, she curled her lips and said, "Jiaqi, thank you so much."
Huo Jiaqi raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Bai Shuyu: "Are you not angry?"
Bai Shuyu was stunned, her eyes falling on him: "Why should I be angry?"
Huo Jiaqi didn't answer, and Bai Shuyu reacted instantly: "Jiaqi, are you thinking too much of me?"
Bai Shuyu looked at Huo Jiaqi and smiled helplessly: "I won't be angry just because you didn't fire Chen Luoyi."
Huo Jiaqi laughed and said, "Indeed, I was wrong."
Bai Shuyu responded, and Huo Jiaqi also set her sights on her: "Shuyu, Chen Luoyi is still useful to me. It would be best if you are not angry."
Huo Jiaqi twitched the corner of his mouth and looked at Bai Shuyu: "You should understand what I mean, right?"
"I know."
She nodded, her eyes falling on Huo Jiaqi: "I don't care about this matter, so can you tell me now, what exactly is going on?"
Huo Jiaqi glanced at her. Bai Shuyu saw it and said patiently, "I also want to know something."
"At least, I need to know in the company."
Huo Jiaqi thought so too, looked at Bai Shuyu and said, "Then I'll tell you now."
"Shuyu, I did go to Ruilai and found out who caused all this trouble."
Bai Shuyu's heart moved, and her eyes fell on him: "Who is it?"
She had more or less a guess in her mind at this moment, but in the end she still couldn't express it in words.
Huo Jiaqi's eyes fell on Bai Shuyu: "Yes..."
"Wait a moment."
Bai Shuyu's voice appeared, her eyes fell on him, and she said hesitantly: "Is it Gu..."
Huo Jiaqi nodded, and Bai Shuyu sighed, her resentful gaze fixed on him: "Huo Jiaqi, this is all your own fault!"
"Shuyu, you can't say that."
Huo Jiaqi laughed helplessly: "She likes me, but I look down on her. You put all the blame on me. I feel so wronged!"
Bai Shuyu cast an angry look at Huo Jiaqi: "That's because you're attracting so many people."
He took a deep breath and looked at Bai Shuyu, feeling so aggrieved that he didn't know what to do.
Bai Shuyu also snorted softly and said, "Look at how silent you are now. Doesn't that prove that what I said is true?"
Huo Jiaqi coughed a few times. Bai Shuyu looked at him, chuckled, and sat down next to him: "If you don't say anything now, don't you feel guilty?"
"Shuyu."
Huo Jiaqi looked at Bai Shuyu aggrievedly. Bai Shuyu raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Huo Jiaqi. She couldn't help laughing out loud: "Jiaqi, you are so aggrieved. People who don't know would think I am bullying you!"
"You've been bullying me."
Bai Shuyu looked at Huo Jiaqi, raised her eyebrows, and fixed her gaze on him: "That's enough. If you keep acting, it will become fake again."
When Huo Jiaqi heard this, she immediately calmed down. "From now on in Ruilai, you don't need to be afraid of Chen Luoyi. If she is so blind as to try to bully you, I suggest you be tough and deal with her yourself."
"But, for the most part, she wouldn't dare."
"How do you know she doesn't dare?"
Bai Shuyu's curious eyes fell on Huo Jiaqi. She looked stunned. Huo Jiaqi glanced at her and said, "Shuyu, since I have already warned her, do you really think my words were in vain?"
She knew Huo Jiaqi's temper better than anyone else. After hearing what he said, Bai Shuyu also laughed: "You are right, Huo Jiaqi, I forgot your position here."
She moved closer to Huo Jiaqi, her smiling face falling on him, as if she didn't notice that anything was wrong with Huo Jiaqi.
"I now feel that having someone to back me up is better than fighting alone."
Huo Jiaqi raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Bai Shuyu: "Since you know, then use me more thoroughly, and even help you gain a firm foothold in Ruilai."
She had never heard these words before. Bai Shuyu was stunned for a moment. She looked at Huo Jiaqi, her heart agitated and eager to try: "If I were to use the power of the tiger to bully others, would Mr. Huo really be willing?"
Huo Jiaqi was watching Bai Shuyu approach him. He reached out and hooked her chin, lifting it slightly: "Why not?"
Bai Shuyu really didn't expect Huo Jiaqi to be willing.
She took a few steps back, looking at Huo Jiaqi with a look of scrutiny in his eyes. However, Huo Jiaqi grabbed her chin, put his arm around her waist, and dragged her back into his arms. "Shuyu, since you want to take advantage of me, shouldn't you also pay me some interest?"
"Interest?"
Bai Shuyu was stunned. Huo Jiaqi smiled and said, "Do you find it unbelievable?"
"I, a poet, am willing to be commanded by you, but it's hard to refuse the reward I deserve, don't you think?"
Bai Shuyu hesitated and looked at Huo Jiaqi: "As for your reward, I'm not sure if I can afford it."
"Of course you can."
Huo Jiaqi hooked her chin, lifted her cheek and looked at her carefully. For a moment, he almost couldn't control the thoughts in his heart.
