Chapter 271: The Villain’s Tool Aunt (17)

The script that Huo Shichu submitted for the screenwriting competition won the second prize. She was very happy. After all, it was her first formal work and it was recognized by professionals. Although the prize money was only 100,000, which was not much, she was very happy and generously treated Fo Baijian to a big meal.

Only then did Fu Bojian know that her interest was screenwriting, so he suggested that she learn from the professional screenwriters in his company. Huo Shichu naturally accepted this good idea with pleasure.

In this situation, Huo Shichu would occasionally go to Xingyue with Fo Bojian. Fo Bojian would go to work, while Huo Shichu would go to ask the old screenwriter for advice.

That day, Huo Shichu was walking with Fu Bojian. As soon as he got out of the car and entered the company, he saw an elegant and graceful young woman asking at the front desk.

"Hello, my last name is Bai. I want to see Mr. Fo Baijian. Is he free now?" The young woman asked the receptionist in a soft voice.

The receptionist asked politely, "Excuse me, do you have an appointment with Mr. Buddha?"

The young woman hesitated for a moment before shaking her head and saying, "No. But he and I are friends, and our families know each other. If you call his secretary and tell him, he will definitely meet me."

"Ms. Bai, please wait a moment." The receptionist then called Fo Baijian's secretary.

Before they finished their call, the young woman saw Fo Baijian coming in from the door. Her eyes lit up immediately, and she quickly walked up to Fo Baijian, smiling brightly and shouting, "Fo Baijian! I'm Bai Su. I just came back from abroad and passed by your company, so I wanted to stop by and see you. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that we met at the door."

"Bai Su, how many days have you been back? Why haven't I heard any news from you?" When Fu Baijian saw her, he seemed to be very familiar with her and there was no sense of strangeness when he spoke to her. It was obvious that they had a good relationship.

"You've only been back for a few days. It's normal that you don't know about me, as you're such a busy person. I heard from my aunt that you seldom go home recently. You must be too busy with work, right?" Bai Su said with a smile.

Fu Bojian touched his nose. He hadn't been home recently, not because he had too much work, but because he had just started having sex with Huo Shichu and was instantly immersed in love.

"Fortunately, I'm not too busy at work." Fu Bojian felt a little uncomfortable, then pulled Huo Shichu to his side and introduced her, "This is my girlfriend, Huo Shichu, maybe you know her?" He said uncertainly.

Bai Su was the eldest daughter of the Bai family, a wealthy family that was on par with the Buddhist family. Naturally, she had met the original owner several times, but she was not familiar with him. Even if she met him now, she had to look carefully to recognize him.

"Is it Miss Huo from the Huo family in the south city?" Bai Su looked at Huo Shichu and asked with a stiff expression on his face.

Huo Shichu said noncommittally: "I guess so, but I have lost contact with the Huo family now, so I can't be considered a member of the Huo family anymore."

"Why did we lose contact?" Bai Su asked without thinking. After she asked, she realized that she shouldn't have asked this question. It was impolite and seemed that she was not steady enough. She felt a little annoyed.

"Something happened at home and I had a disagreement with my family." Huo Shichu said lightly.

"Okay, Bai Su, do you have something to talk to me about? Why don't you go to my office and talk?" Fu Bojian saw that Huo Shichu didn't want to talk to Bai Su about his family affairs, so he asked.

"Okay." Bai Su had no objection.

Huo Shichu was held hand by Fo Bojian and took the elevator to the 18th floor. He then took him to the screenwriter's office and settled him down. Fo Bojian then took Bai Su to his own office on the 23rd floor.

"You and Miss Huo have a pretty good relationship... How long have you been dating? Do your aunt and uncle know about it?" Bai Su saw the tenderness and concern that Fu Baijian showed in front of Huo Shichu, and couldn't help asking with a bitter heart.

Fu Bojian had no idea of ​​the sourness in Bai Su's words. Instead, he smiled and said, "Shi Chu is an interesting person. I feel very comfortable with her. Although we have only been dating for a few months, I think I will never get bored with her for the rest of my life. My parents don't know that I'm in a relationship yet, but I will find a chance to tell them."

When Bai Su heard what he said, she felt even more sour and jealous. She came back from abroad this time just to develop a relationship with Fo Baijian. After all, only Fo Baijian was worthy of her in terms of family background, talent and appearance, while none of the other rich young men could compare to Fo Baijian in terms of comprehensive qualities, so Bai Su only liked Fo Baijian.

The Bai family and the Fo family are well matched, and they can be considered childhood sweethearts, so in fact both families want to bring them together. Now that they are older, the elders have an even stronger idea. Bai Su's parents let Bai Su come back because they were afraid that Fo Baijian, their ideal son-in-law, would be snatched away by someone else.

But Bai Su was one step too late in the end. Fo Baijian was indeed kidnapped by someone, and the one who kidnapped him was a woman whose family background was not as good as hers, or even who had no family background at all - after all, didn't Huo Shichu say that he had cut off ties with his family?

How could Bai Su accept this? She was a proud daughter of heaven, and she had everything she wanted since she was a child. Now that she was older, she wanted to come back and build a family with the man she loved, but she never expected that she would get off to a bad start.

"Why did Miss Huo break off relations with her family? This is not a good idea, right? It seems that her father passed away not long ago, and there are only an old mother and a young nephew left in the family. If she leaves home, what will happen to the old and the young in the family?" Bai Su frowned, seeming to be very worried about the Huo family.

Fu Bojian didn't notice that she was trying to flatter Huo Shichu, so he said, "I believe Shichu wouldn't break off relations with them for no reason. There must be some irreconcilable conflict that made him leave the Huo family. Besides, Mrs. Huo is only in her sixties and is still very healthy. Shichu's nephew is fifteen or sixteen years old, already a grown-up boy, not young. They are all living well - I checked before, and their lives are no different from before."

Bai Su was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that he cared so much about Huo Shichu that he even went out of his way to check on the situation of the Huo family's old and young for her to make sure they were doing well.

If his feelings for Huo Shichu were shallow and he was just playing around, then he definitely wouldn't be so attentive and wouldn't care at all about how the Huo family was doing. But he has gone to this extent, so it's obvious that he loves Huo Shichu deeply.

Realizing this, Bai Su's gentle expression could no longer be maintained, but she was not giving up and continued, "Even if there is something wrong with the family, Miss Huo shouldn't just sever ties with them, right? She should try harder to resolve the conflict, which is the right thing to do. Even if Mrs. Huo was wrong, she raised Miss Huo to this age, how could she be so heartless?"
