When she heard her say that, Huo Mei Shu's face softened a little, but her heart was drumming.
She couldn't accept that the male god she had liked for so many years would have this kind of problem!
Rong Dai was also very worried.
She picked up her phone and sent a message to Huo Shao Ting, and received a reply in just a few minutes.
Since Huo Shao Ting knew about his little sister's troubles, although he didn't intervene, he must have investigated Gu Chengyan.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to get Gu Chengyan to come to his little sister's private music concert last time.
Huo Shao Ting asked her why she would ask such a question, and Rong Dai simply explained a few sentences.
After chatting with her husband for a few minutes, Rong Dai now understood why that mysterious Mr. Gu was so reluctant to be in contact with women.
He had almost been pressed down on the bed and robbed of his chastity by a girl who liked him.
This reason...
Rong Dai was a little speechless, silently turning off her phone screen, feeling relieved.
As long as he wasn't like Zuo Ran, it would be good. Otherwise, this would be more cruel to the little sister than being rejected by Mr. Gu.
This was probably something even Qiao Wanzhou didn't know about, otherwise she wouldn't have cautioned the little sister so seriously and solemnly either.
Qiao Wanzhou was also thinking of the little sister's well-being, and didn't have any malice.
The three women were sitting there watching the people coming and going in the store when Jiang Xu's voice came from behind them on the side aisle, "Mei Shu? What are you doing here?"
Huo Mei Shu glanced back at him, then withdrew her gaze, "Where I am is none of your business! Did I ever ask where you were?"
Obviously she was in a bad mood, most likely affected by what Qiao Wanzhou had just said.
Jiang Xu said helplessly, "Miss Huo, I didn't provoke you today."
"Mei Shu, this is..."
Rong Dai knew her mood was affected, but Qiao Wanzhou was still here, so she couldn't speak plainly.
Otherwise, it would hurt Qiao Wanzhou's and the little sister's feelings.
This was probably something even Qiao Wanzhou was unaware of, otherwise she wouldn't have cautioned the little sister so earnestly either.
Qiao Wanzhou was also thinking of the little sister's well-being, and didn't have any malice.
Her timely interjection brought Huo Mei Shu's attitude back, and she gestured for Jiang Xu to sit down, then introduced him, "This is my sister-in-law, Rong Dai. And this one doesn't need my introduction, right? Miss Qiao Wanzhou."
Jiang Xu smiled and nodded, which served as a greeting.
"Jiang Xu, my college classmate, second son of the Jiang family."
Huo Mei Shu's introduction was concise and to the point. Rong Dai was helpless, but Jiang Xu understood her very well and didn't mind.
"Senior Gu might bring someone with him today, so prepare yourself mentally."
Jiang Xu looked at Huo Mei Shu and hesitated for a few seconds before speaking.
Although Rong Dai didn't pay special attention to Jiang Xu, his gaze towards the little sister was very different.
"Coming with who?"
Before Huo Mei Shu could speak, Qiao Wanzhou, who had not said anything so far, immediately widened her eyes when she heard Jiang Xu's words, and was very shocked.
Jiang Xu nodded, his eyes always on Huo Mei Shu.
"Why are you hem-hawing about a simple thing?"
Seeing that Jiang Xu didn't speak for a long time, Huo Mei Shu, who was a little impatient by nature, instantly became irritated.
"It's Ye Liyun. She's coming with Gu Chengyan today."
Jiang Xu was helpless. He should have given her a heads up earlier. This young miss would probably be unhappy again now.
Rong Dai noticed that the little sister's face instantly became ferocious. She was frightened and hurriedly poured her tea, "Mei Shu, drink some tea first."
She knew the little sister's temper. Once her temper was up, it couldn't be suppressed.
If the mysterious Mr. Gu saw this, the little sister's play would be half ruined.
Huo Mei Shu was reminded by her in time and very timely steadied her emotions, but her face was still very dark.
"How did she get here?"
Jiang Xu felt like he was stuck between a rock and a hard place. It would have been better if he hadn't given her a heads up earlier.
"Last month, I went back to our alma mater with Senior Gu. Our school held a party where Ye Liyun performed a piece and won Senior Gu's admiration."
"I don't know the rest. Today she took the plane here together with Senior Gu."
"Are you saying Gu Chengyan brought a girl with him?"
Before Huo Mei Shu could speak, Qiao Wanzhou, who hadn't said anything from the beginning, immediately widened her eyes when she heard Jiang Xu's words and was very shocked.
Jiang Xu nodded, his eyes always on Huo Mei Shu.
"Sister-in-law, Miss Qiao, I'm going to the restroom for a bit."
With her face black as the bottom of a pot, Huo Mei Shu abruptly stood up, grabbed her handbag and went to the restroom.
Jiang Xu didn't dare stay any longer either and hurriedly left after bidding the two farewell.
"I'll go see how she's doing. Will you be alright by yourself here?"
Worried about the little sister's emotions, Rong Dai asked Qiao Wanzhou.
Qiao Wanzhou shook her head, her gaze falling on several people who had just entered the shop. "Go ahead. I'll go say hi to some friends too. If you need any help, be sure to let me know."
Rong Dai nodded, took her handbag and went to the restroom to find the little sister.
When Rong Dai entered, she immediately saw Huo Mei Shu standing by the sink with her bag to the side and slightly red eyes.
She had obviously cried just now.
Rong Dai took some tissue and gave it to her, checked that no one else was in the restroom, before asking her, "If you're too upset, let's go back."
Qiao Wanzhou had just said earlier that Mr. Gu was very averse to contact with women, yet now he had brought one along.
The little sister had silently liked Mr. Gu for so many years. Feeling heartbroken was inevitable.
She was worried that the little sister wouldn't be able to control her emotions and lose composure in front of so many people tonight. Looking at Qiao Wanzhou, one could tell the kind of people who could come here tonight.
Since even someone like Qiao Wanzhou called him mentor, the people who could come here tonight must be very famous people in the industry.
Although the little sister wasn't in the entertainment industry, she was a daughter of the Huo family.
If she lost control in front of so many people, it would impact her reputation.
"Sister-in-law, I'm not angry that he brought a girl."
Huo Mei Shu said resentfully.
"If he really had a girl he liked, I would silently bless him and back out."
"But that Ye Liyun was the one who previously plagiarized my musical score."
Rong Dai immediately frowned, not having expected things to be this way.
No wonder the little sister was so angry.
If it were her, she would probably have reacted even more strongly.
"What do you plan to do then?"
She asked Huo Mei Shu.
If that was the case, the little sister definitely couldn't just leave like this.
"Sister-in-law, I want to stay and expose her true colors."
Huo Mei Shu said resentfully.
"She's not unaware that I like Senior Gu. I treated her like a close sister and would tell her all my troubles, but I didn't expect her to do this to me."
Rong Dai: "......"
This reminded her of an online saying: Guard against fire, theft, and close sisters.
"Don't be rash about this. Let's take it one step at a time. Otherwise if you can't control your emotions and lose composure in front of everyone, it would be very unfavorable to you and make the other party very happy."
