Gu Chengyan immediately frowned, looking into her eyes, his voice deepening as he questioned, "Say what you just said again."
Huo Mei Shu felt a twinge of fear when faced with his intense gaze. But then she remembered the injustice she had suffered, and that she was nothing to him!
Bringing snacks to apologize, she had never seen such a stingy apology!
Her temper flared up too!
"I said, I don't like music."
"I request that Mr. Gu does not disturb my work again. Shall I repeat it for you, Mr. Gu?"
Gu Chengyan glared at her, unable to suppress a flash of anger in his eyes!
"Fine!"
With that, he turned and left.
Huo Mei Shu was momentarily stunned, watching his back as he walked away without looking back. A few seconds later, she couldn't help but shake her head with a bitter smile.
Thank goodness.
Thank goodness she hadn't harbored any hope in her heart.
When Gu Chengyan reached the garage, he was so angry that he kicked his beloved car, sitting in the driver's seat and sulking!
He had thought the girl was just throwing a tantrum, but he never expected her to say such things?!
What did she mean she didn't like music?
Then what had she been learning music for all these years?
To feed the dogs?
He could accept the girl's unreasonable tantrums, but he couldn't accept her so casually denying something she loved.
Especially music!
Huo Mei Shu waited until she couldn't see anyone, then stared at the coffee in front of her with a wry smile.
In this relationship, she had been the only one performing a monologue all along.
What right did she have to make any demands of him?
But her heart still ached, still hurt!
After sitting still for a few minutes, she finished her coffee and returned to Magnolia Fragrance.
Tang Han and Shi Qing noticed her gloomy expression and their curiosity burned, but they suppressed it.
Neither Huo Mei Shu nor Gu Chengyan noticed that at the neighboring table, Gu Mingci was sitting alone, having heard their entire conversation.
Of course, Gu Mingci was not happy about it!
She had been by Gu Chengyan's side longer than Huo Mei Shu, and such a good man could only belong to her!
Why couldn't Huo Mei Shu just be a proper rich lady? Why did she have to compete with her?
But she was glad today, Huo Mei Shu seemed to have come to her senses!
But this wasn't enough, she had to add some more fuel to the fire, to make Huo Mei Shu give up completely!
Huo Mei Shu worked until closing time, but Magnolia Fragrance didn't receive any news from the French side.
However, knowing that Huo Shao Ting had gone to Paris, the employees were relieved.
If even the big boss couldn't resolve the issue, there was no point in them worrying, it was better to steady the company and wait patiently.
Huo Mei Shu returned home to find only Wang Ma and Li Shu there.
Due to the incident with Yin Zhongjun, which had caused turmoil in their family, she was worried the old lady would get bored being alone at home.
So she and her second brother had arranged for the old lady to go on a trip. Because of the overseas incident involving her sister-in-law, the drama Guohou that was originally scheduled to air during the summer had been indefinitely postponed and replaced by another show.
Her second brother had been extremely busy during this period, and she hadn't even seen his shadow.
Exhausted physically and mentally, Huo Mei Shu ate only a couple of bites for dinner before heading upstairs.
After washing up, she flopped onto the bed and opened her laptop to check the public relations results for the day.
Since there was no relevant information in the video, the public relations had been relatively successful.
She closed her laptop and lay sprawled on the bed, zoning out.
Her phone pinged with a new message, and she added the person without a second thought.
Little did she know, as soon as she added them, they sent her a photo.
In the photo, Gu Mingci had her arms around Gu Chengyan's neck, smiling radiantly, her lips almost touching his cheek.
The two people in the photo looked intimately close, simply like lovers.
After sending the photo, the person sent a message: My brother is kind and doesn't want to hurt you, but we're already together!
Huo Mei Shu felt a stabbing pain in her heart!
Her eyes instantly reddened, and the grievances and pain she had suppressed in her heart exploded, as she cried bitterly while wrapped in her blanket!
