“Aunt Huo, what happened to your face? Did you go rob someone last night?”
When Jiang Xu picked up Huo Mei Shu in his car and saw her haggard face that looked like a ghost, he exaggeratedly acted as if he was scared by her.
Huo Mei Shu glanced at him and got into the car, “Does this young lady look like someone who needs to go rob others?”
Jiang Xu shrugged without saying anything. This auntie had morning temper, and was clearly in a bad mood right now. He didn’t want to get his ears twisted.
“I was keeping vigil by my sister-in-law’s side at the hospital last night. My eyes haven’t even closed before I had to go find my troublesome mom again. I’m really having it hard...”
Huo Mei Shu sighed heavily with a sinking face.
Jiang Xu knitted his brows slightly, catching a glimpse of her worn out face from the corner of his eyes. Seeing her looking so listless, he felt a twinge in his heart.
He thought after this girl went to Gu Chengyan, she would get what she wished for.
But it hasn’t been long! How did she become such a wretched creature, neither ghost nor human!
Jiang Xu was extremely pissed inside, determined to settle scores with Gu Chengyan!
"By the way, what was the name of that academy you recommended to me last time? Send the information to my email later."
Huo Mei Shu leaned against the car seat, her voice a little lazy and permeated with fatigue.
While driving, Jiang Xu asked her in a deliberately casual manner, "Have you made up your mind? Not going after your dream guy anymore?"
Upon hearing the words "dream guy", Huo Mei Shu immediately gave a cold laugh, staring at him with an extremely icy look.
"Don't ever mention the words 'dream guy' and 'Gu Chengyan' in front of me from now on. He's not worth it!"
"He's not a dream guy at all. Just a sister-complex. I must have gone crazy to be interested in him!"
"Such a pretty face almost ruined my precious youth!"
Just thinking about Gu Chengyan pissed her off, and made her feel some resentment as well.
But when she thought about it, Gu Chengyan only asked her to work in his studio. Nothing else she imagined had happened.
So to him, she was just a stranger after all.
While Gu Mingci was not his blood-related sister, after living in the Gu family for so many years, of course their sibling bond was more important than her, an outsider.
Listening to her, Jiang Xu felt a little exasperated inside.
This young auntie was truly formidable. Her precious youth was completely wasted on this crooked tree called Gu Chengyan!
"Ms. Huo is indeed someone of strong character! I admire you!"
He gave Huo Mei Shu a big thumbs up.
"Just drive properly. And remember to send me the info."
Huo Mei Shu rolled her eyes at him. Usually she would surely retort, but not this time.
Perhaps she was too tired, or she was still feeling heartbroken.
Soon they arrived at the hotel. The address Lu Hong sent was very accurate, even stating the room number clearly.
Seeing the "Do Not Disturb" door hanger, Huo Mei Shu was pissed.
What was so important that couldn't be properly discussed at home?
This Ms. Lu was really becoming more and more daring, actually drinking alone outside and not coming home overnight!
She roughly kept pressing the doorbell.
The room was dimly-lit and full of sensual atmosphere. Yin Zhongjun was still not done enjoying Lu Zheng's body after a night of passion. He was just about to indulge further when the doorbell interrupted them annoyingly.
Probably due to her hangover and the drug effect, Lu Zheng was still fast asleep. However, Huo Mei Shu pressed the bell so violently that it was like an alarm. Gradually, it woke Lu Zheng up from her slumber.
