Chapter 368 The Closed-Off Young Master 2 Zi Xi had finished delivering the evening rush hour orders and was taking a short rest on a park bench by the roadside.
She took out the envelope that Uncle Chen had given her that morning and counted the money inside.
In addition to the cost of the cake and delivery, there is an extra thousand dollars.
This is the consistent style of the Gu family residence: generous yet aloof.
She carefully put the money away, then took out the bread and bottled water she had brought with her—that was her lunch.
While eating, Zi Xi unconsciously reached into her pocket. She had a feeling that she had never been this miserable before.
But he quickly shook his head. What was he thinking? Making money was more important.
Zi Xi took out her phone, and the news that popped up made her gasp.
Basically, the top ten articles all report on the Gu family's leading local business empire, which is involved in real estate, finance, technology and other fields, and whose assets are incalculable.
The webpage shows several photos of the Gu family attending events; Gu Hongyuan appears dignified and his wife elegant, but there are no images of the Gu family heir.
It's as if this heir only exists in legends.
So the Gu family wants to order a cake?
Zi Xi shook her head, shaking off these useless thoughts.
The world of the rich is irrelevant to her; her only goal now is to save enough for next semester's tuition and her mother's medical treatment.
After her break, Zixi put on her helmet, got back on her electric scooter, and merged into the traffic.
In the evening, Zixi finished her day's work and returned to her shared apartment, exhausted.
She wrote down today's income in her ledger, making a special note of the tip from Gu's residence.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, Yang Ruxuan finally calmed down and began sending out resumes.
She deliberately avoided all companies associated with the Gu family and chose several small businesses instead.
The moment she pressed the send button, she felt a sliver of hope.
Yang Ruxuan stared blankly at the computer screen.
Most of her resumes went unanswered, and the only reply she received asked her to come for an interview the next day.
Perhaps this life will truly be different.
"On the first day of school, stay away from the Gu family and Gu Yanqing."
Yang Ruxuan was also writing in a diary, but her entries differed from Zixi's. She recorded things.
The boy in the mountaintop villa was sitting in front of his easel, sketching a blurry female silhouette with charcoal. She was wearing a hat, had her hair in a ponytail, and had clear eyes.
In the lower right corner of the drawing paper, he drew several hearts.
A gust of wind blew in through the window, turning over a thick stack of drawing paper in the corner of the studio.
Every single one is of the same girl, taken from different angles and under different lighting conditions.

The torrential rains in July came unexpectedly.
Just as Zi Xi retrieved her daily cake from the high-end dessert shop, the sky darkened without warning.
Dark clouds rolled in, quickly staining the entire sky.
She hurriedly put on the little yellow duck raincoat she carried with her and carefully placed the cake box in the innermost layer of the insulated box.
But that wasn't enough. She took out a spare waterproof cloth and wrapped the cake box layer by layer to ensure it was completely safe.
This was the first rainy day she had encountered in the three months she had been delivering meals to the Gu family, and she couldn't afford any mistakes.
However, the intensity of the downpour exceeded her expectations.
The large raindrops quickly turned into a downpour, pounding heavily on her raincoat with a crackling sound.
The electric scooter struggled to move forward in the floodwater, and the water splashed up by the wheels almost submerged her completely.
