A cool and classical beauty, a fallen socialite, against an untamed and roguish Hong Kong scion. Five years after their breakup, Gu Xiangsi never expected to encounter her first love again upon ret...
Chapter 45: When you sold me out, you didn’t even bargain for the price!
After breakfast, Fu Sinian took a document from the side and handed it over.
"What is this?" she asked, looking up.
"Power of attorney."
Fu Sinian said calmly, "Breaking the contract requires paying liquidated damages, and I paid them for you. So, Gu Xiangsi, you owe me money again."
"I..." Gu Xiangsi really wanted to say, it was you who forced me to do this, otherwise she could still continue working at Zhao's.
"Don't scold me in your heart."
Fu Sinian seemed to see through her thoughts, "Gu Xiangsi, believe it or not, if you dare to go back to the Zhao family today, Zhao Niesen will never let you go."
"He...what did you do to him yesterday?"
Gu Xiangsi lowered her voice and asked cautiously.
Thinking of what happened yesterday, Fu Sinian's face darkened. He tapped his fingers lightly on the table, leaned back, and stared at Gu Xiangsi in silence.
Gu Xiangsi felt uncomfortable when he looked at her and turned her face slightly away.
Fu Sinian's gaze was like an ice-hardened blade, scraping across her face inch by inch.
Gu Xiangsi's fingertips trembled as he stared at her, and she subconsciously turned her head away.
"Gu Xiangsi."
He suddenly sneered, crossed his long legs, and tapped the armrest with his slender fingers absentmindedly.
"Do you know what I hate most about you in the past five years?"
Her breathing slowed slightly as she looked up at him.
"It's not a breakup." He sneered, his eyes sneering, "When you sold me out, you didn't even ask for a bargain."
"Sell me for 20 million."
The morning light from outside the floor-to-ceiling window fell on his brow, making his black eyes look even colder.
Gu Xiangsi's heart skipped a beat, but she saw him suddenly lean forward, pressing towards her with the scent of woody fruits.
"Now I'm your personal assistant..."
He lifted her chin with his fingertips, so hard that it hurt.
"Guess how I'm going to collect the debt?"
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she heard a low laugh from the man's throat:
"Don't worry, I won't sell you out."
"I think it's cheap."
Is he seeking revenge?
But he has been helping me...
Gu Xiangsi felt depressed, but she was also selfishly greedy for this unique treatment even though it seemed like alms.
This brief warmth was what she had been dreaming of for the past five years.
Fu Sinian was a child of destiny, but when he was with others in private, he showed a rebellious spirit.
He is obviously a very delicate person.
The porridge that I made specially for her last time, and the bowl of millet porridge in front of her now, both have familiar tastes to her.
She loved sweet things, and her porridge always had just the right sweetness, which only he remembered.
She calmed down.
"Mr. Fu, I will do my job well until I pay off my debts."
Fu Sinian operated the tablet for a while and handed it over.
"Look for yourself!"
The tablet screen was filled with the ridiculous things Zhao Niesen had done.
He went in and out of the hotel with different beauties and had a lot of fun.
The backgrounds of some scenes were obviously deliberately arranged. There were chains hanging on the wall and tools placed next to them. He whipped the woman's back with a whip and even poured wine on her back. The scene was disgusting.
Gu Xiangsi averted her gaze as the man's cold voice rang out, "There's another reason why he can thrive so brazenly in Hong Kong City. Someone in his family has the final say."
"Thank you, Mr. Fu."
Gu Xiangsi looked up at him: "So, President Fu asked me to resign... because he was afraid that I would become like them?"
Fu Sinian chuckled when he heard this. "Miss Gu," he leaned forward, "Do I look like someone who does charity work?"
A blatant denial.
Gu Xiangsi raised an eyebrow and went straight to the point: "Then why a personal assistant?"
The air suddenly stagnated.
Fu Sinian's eyes darkened.
"Because..." His voice was hoarse, "You owe me something."
“I haven’t paid it back yet.”
…
Li Xiaoyao sat in the passenger seat and glanced at Gu Xiangsi in the back seat through the rearview mirror. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke: "Miss Gu, can I have a few words with you?"
"Assistant Li, please speak."
"Actually... my young master is just being stubborn, but in his heart he's thinking about you, Miss Gu."
Li Xiaoyao held the steering wheel with one hand and spoke as slowly as possible, "He has been arrogant since he was a child and has never yielded in front of anyone. This is also true for you, Miss Gu."
He paused, as if weighing his words. "Young Master is forcing you to sign the contract this time, not to embarrass you, but for your own good. That Zhao Niesen is no ordinary person, and his company... has some unclear issues as well."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Special Assistant Li."
She thought of something and looked at Li Xiaoyao who was driving. She asked tentatively, "Assistant Li, do you know the bracelet on Mr. Fu's hand?"
"You mean that string?" Li Xiaoyao replied. "My young master treasures it very much. He usually keeps it in a box, but he started wearing it on New Year's Day."
Gu Xiangsi thought back to the figure she saw on the balcony that day and asked, "Did he go to the Peninsula Hotel on New Year's Day?"
"Yes." Li Xiaoyao said, "My young master wanted to celebrate New Year's Eve with you, but at that time you were with..."
He stopped talking halfway.
Gu Xiangsi nodded thoughtfully.
Special Assistant Li then asked, "Miss Gu, do you still remember what day the 28th was?"
"Number 28?"
"Miss Gu." Li Xiaoyao stopped the car at an intersection. "Can you accompany my young master to celebrate his birthday that day? He hasn't celebrated his birthday in the past few years."
After getting off the car, Gu Xiangsi was still surprised that he didn't celebrate his birthday.
When Gu Xiangsi walked into the tea restaurant, Nan Yu and Qin Shiwei were already sitting by the window, waving at her.
She walked over and sat down, looking at the two of them: "Were you okay yesterday?"
Nanyu said, "It's okay. I just found something new and was worried it would be inconvenient to talk about it on the phone, so I asked you out."
Gu Xiangsi looked aside again, "Why does Shi Wei keep her head down?"
When this was mentioned, Nan Yu laughed: "You don't know, Shi Wei drank too much yesterday, and actually hugged Fu Jia and kissed and groped her."
Gu Xiangsi looked at Qin Shiwei, who was holding up her glasses, with a surprised look on her face. "You...you said you wanted to take revenge on him, and this is what you did?"
"Oh, I was drunk." Qin Shiwei defended herself. "At first I just wanted to embarrass him, but then I got drunk and thought he looked okay. Maybe he looked a bit like Mr. Fu."
Nan Yu smiled and joked, "Shi Wei, it's okay. Isn't this exactly the material you're missing for your novel? I was just thinking that you could definitely write it into the book."
"You two should stop making fun of me." Qin Shiwei said angrily, then turned to ask Gu Xiangsi, "By the way, Xiangsi, were you okay yesterday?"
"It's okay." Gu Xiangsi lowered her eyes, "I ran into Mr. Fu yesterday."
"Oh, I was just about to tell you." Qin Shiwei continued, "When I was in the private room, I didn't expect Mr. Fu to be sitting on the sofa in the corner. I was so scared at the time. I don't know if he recognized me."
Gu Xiangsi nodded: "No wonder he was like that yesterday."
Nan Yu handed another USB drive to Gu Xiangsi, "Have you not read the USB drive I gave you last time?"
Gu Xiangsi nodded, she had been too busy recently.
"There are Zhao Niesen and Chen Hui, as well as some prominent members of the aristocratic families, who are doing some illegal things in private."
She warned: "Xiangsi, you can't take this out easily, otherwise you will be in danger."
When Qin Shiwei heard that there was danger, she quickly said, "Yes, you must be cautious."
Gu Xiangsi nodded and replied, "I will."
