The door to Gu Liji's office was open. Cheng Qicai didn't even need to knock. As soon as she stood at the door, Gu Liji looked up and saw her immediately.
Cheng Qicai stood at the door and looked at him. "Brother Gu, you're busy, I'm just here to take a look."
Seeing her about to leave, he stopped typing, paused, and couldn't resist his gossipy nature, calling out to her, "Cheng Qicai, what are you doing here? My uncle didn't even kick you out."
Based on Gu Lubo's temperament, he thought that Cheng Qicai wouldn't want to see him, and even if he did, he would be furious.
When Cheng Qicai and the others entered, Gu Lubo's sudden change in attitude and expression, and the fact that he didn't respond enthusiastically when Cheng Qicai called him, proved that Gu Lubo's attitude had softened considerably.
He knew how resolute Guruber's previous reaction had been.
All of this tells him that Gu Lubo's thoughts have changed, or at least he is trying to accept Cheng Qicai's existence.
But he couldn't quite accept it completely... so he became even more curious about what had happened between them. If he didn't ask, his heart felt like it was crawling with countless ants.
Cheng Qicai turned around and said matter-of-factly, "With Gu Rongqi here, how could I possibly be kicked out?"
"..."
A fox borrows the tiger's power; a petty person gains power; a dog relies on its master's power...
Countless idioms flashed through Gu Liji's mind to describe Cheng Qicai's current demeanor.
All those words were ultimately reduced to a cold snort.
Seeing his disdainful expression, Cheng Qicai walked over to him and said matter-of-factly, "Brother Gu, your attitude is wrong. If I hadn't asked Gu Rongqi to knock on the door, you would still be getting scolded by your uncle!"
"Thank you so much." Gu Liji glanced at her.
He typed a couple more times on the computer and then asked clearly, "No, what's the current situation between you and my uncle? How come things are so much better all of a sudden?"
"What do you mean, 'all of a sudden'?" Cheng Qicai was puzzled by Gu Liji's misunderstanding. "He still doesn't agree with me being with Gu Rongqi, does he? Didn't you see how cold he was to me?"
Gu Liji was used to it. "He's always been like this. When I call him, he's very cold to me."
"..." The two tacitly felt the same way.
But Cheng Qicai's next words made him feel betrayed.
Cheng Qicai said, "But we weren't indifferent at all when we heard them cursing you outside the door."
Gu Liji's expression suddenly turned cold. "...Then why aren't you trying to please my uncle? What are you doing out here?"
Cheng Qicai shrugged. "It's no use trying to please him. He doesn't even like his own son anymore, let alone me. Anyway, he doesn't care about me. I was bored in the ward, so I came out."
He glanced at the document he needed to revise and concluded that Cheng Qicai had come to show off.
"You're not here for anything, so why did you come to the hospital?"
“He called us over last night!” She paused, glanced at the door to make sure no one was there, and then said, “He’s Gu Rongqi’s father, after all. He’s in a bad mood right now and enjoys tormenting Gu Rongqi. As his girlfriend, I definitely have to come and stand by him through thick and thin!”
"Wow, what a touching love story." Gu Liji said expressionlessly.
This sarcastic remark made Cheng Qicai look at him. "Brother Gu, you weren't like this when you were pursuing my sister."
“You weren’t like this when I was pursuing your sister!” he retorted, muttering under his breath, “Who is it that made me like this…”
When gods fight, mortals suffer.
After they fought, they all lived successful lives, except for that kid who was the most unlucky. Not only did he lose his freedom, but he was also exploited.
Their love was sweet and blissful, while their work was miserable and miserable.
They still have the nerve to show off their affection in front of me.
Thinking of this, Gu Liji looked at Cheng Qicai with a resentful gaze.
"What are you two talking about?" Gu Rongqi walked in, his gaze falling on the two's "affectionate" eye contact.
"nothing……"
"Brother Gu is complaining about you!"
The two men gave conflicting accounts.
Gu Rongqi's gaze fell on Gu Liji.
"..." Cheng Qicai, that tattletale! Gu Liji glared at her fiercely.
Cheng Qicai quietly took a small step toward Gu Rongqi and subtly tugged at his sleeve.
Gu Rongqi frowned, his gaze falling on Gu Liji's computer. "Finished your work? You only have one hour left out of your two hours."
Gu Liji glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the computer screen, and there really was only one hour left.
After talking with Cheng Qicai for so long, he only made a tiny change to his document. He couldn't even fix it in two hours, let alone in an hour. That's simply impossible.
His world is collapsing!!!
"Uh, Brother Gu, you go ahead and do your work, we won't bother you anymore." Seeing Gu Liji's despairing expression, she grabbed Gu Rongqi's hand and prepared to leave.
Gu Liji already harbored a lot of resentment towards the two of them, so there was no need to keep him around and make him even angrier.
Gu Liji pleaded for help, "Brother, can you help me?"
“I’m no longer with Ouqi, and I have no say in Ouqi’s projects,” Gu Rongqi said coldly.
"This isn't an important project, just give me some pointers." Seeing that Gu Rongqi remained unmoved, Gu Liji's gaze shifted to Cheng Qicai. "Qicai, if you hadn't been chatting with me just now..."
Gu Liji originally wanted Cheng Qicai to help him persuade him, but he immediately sensed Gu Rongqi's warning gaze, and his little thoughts came to an abrupt halt.
Cheng Qicai understood what Gu Liji had left unsaid. Although she had only intended to tease Gu Liji, she hadn't expected the conversation to last for more than twenty minutes.
She still felt somewhat guilty towards Gu Liji, but it didn't seem right for her to ask Gu Rongqi for help.
Seeing Gu Rongqi's gaze fixed on Cheng Qicai, Gu Liji hurriedly and emotionally appealed to the two of them, "Brother, sister-in-law, please, have pity on me! I'm only doing this because of your love..."
"..." Cheng Qicai shuddered at the thought of Gu Liji calling her "sister-in-law".
He's utterly shameless in trying to achieve his goals. Cheng Qicai couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Gu Rongqi's eyes darkened for a moment. He walked behind Gu Liji and said, "Open up the parts that need to be changed."
"Okay, brother!" Gu Liji happily opened the document, then looked at Cheng Qicai, "Sister-in-law, go sit on that stool and rest for a while."
"..." Cheng Qicai couldn't stand his fawning and nauseating way of calling her. She rubbed the goosebumps on her arms and said, "Brother Gu, please don't call me that. It's so awkward it makes my scalp tingle."
She was still used to his threatening and sarcastic tone.
Gu Liji felt awkward calling Cheng Qicai that, as if he had crossed a line, but his brother always fell for it.
With that form of address, his brother immediately agreed to his request.
It shouldn't be too easy to use.
With Gu Rongqi around, his thinking became much clearer, and he was able to correct the errors in the files much faster than he could do.
Although it wasn't completely finished in the end, it was almost done.
