"I ... ..."
Xu Hao couldn't handle it alone. So, he turned to look at what the culprit was doing.
It was all Miss Zong's inexplicable behavior that made the second young master unhappy. The least that she could do was to come forth and explain herself. Just say a few sweet words to the second young master and this matter would be resolved.
However, she did not seem to know that she had harmed an innocent man.
The young girl held her phone and pressed the send button with trembling fingers. Then, she knelt on the sofa with her hands clasped together as if she was praying. "God bless, God bless."
'Hum ~~ hum ~~~' Xu Hao sent a secret signal to the demonic girl.
However, the girl didn't notice him. She knelt on the sofa and prayed for a long time. Suddenly, her phone rang and she started jumping as if she had picked up a hot potato.
After a long time, she adjusted her breathing and stood on the sofa. Her expression was as if the sky was about to collapse.
When Song Qingli answered the call, an angry, high-pitched voice of an 'old Vixen' came from the phone. "Song Qingli, you're dead! What on earth did you send me?!"
"Sister ... Sister li, my acting skills are not that bad. It's just that ... There might be some problems with my shooting technique. Sister Li..."
The call ended with a 'beep'.
"It's over..." The young girl looked as if she was facing a great enemy and gulped subconsciously. For a moment, she looked around, not knowing what to do. Then, she scratched her head and suddenly left the scene. As she ran, she shouted, "Uncle Jin, quickly lock the gates!"
"...."
Xu Hao's eyeballs were about to fall out of their sockets. This woman wasn't loyal at all. She ran away after using him!
Gu Zechuan glanced at Xu Hao and left in his wheelchair. Xu Hao heaved a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat off his palms. Before he could relax, he heard the second young master's voice from afar. "There are mosquitoes in the greenhouse recently. Go and clean it. I don't want to find a single mosquito alive."
(°ー°〃)
'Second young master, it's not what you think. I'm innocent, second young master ...'
Song Qingli disregarded her image as she ran down the stairs but she still couldn't stop the BMW that was speeding toward her.
When she saw Li Zhen's car coming through the gate, it was as if she was looking at thousands of soldiers and horses trampling over the river. That scene was unforgettable.
Her life was over!
'Bang!'
Li Zhen slammed the car door shut.
The young girl was so scared that she trembled. 'So scary! This woman... AHHHHHHHH!!! She's terrifying!!!! She's walking over now. What should I do?'
"Li ... Sister Li, you've come so quickly, really ... You've worked hard ..." Song Qingli subconsciously took a step back. When she saw the anger in Li Zhen's eyes, even swallowing her saliva became difficult. From the corner of her eye, Song Qingli saw Gu Zechuan moving his wheelchair closer and the young girl quickly hid behind the man's wheelchair.
"Song Qingli, come out." Li Zhen gritted her teeth.
"You'd ... have to promise not to hit me. Then, I'll come out." Song Qingli hugged her knees and tilted her head to look at her.
Gu Zechuan chuckled. "Manager Li, you sure have quite a hot temper."
"Second young master Gu's temper has such a mild temperament that it's really admirable. However, I, Li Zhen, have always been a straightforward person. The thing I hate the most are those who drag things out." Li Zhen intentionally raised her voice at the end of the sentence as if she intentionally said them for someone else to hear them.
"Qingli is a member of the Gu family. I hope that you can treat her in a friendly manner, Manager Li. Otherwise..." Gu Zechuan suddenly stopped. His black eyes were filled with cold light as he continued. "Otherwise, the anger attacks the heart and it could harm your health."
When Li Zhen saw the chilly look in the man's eyes, she suppressed the anger in her chest. She knew that the second young master of the Gu family was not as weak as everyone thought. It was just that no one had seen him in his home, the Gu Gardens.
"The Second master is indeed a considerate man. I've been a manager for so many years and thought that I was just managing a new actor. I didn't expect her to be a baby and one that is untouchable."
Gu Zechuan did not say a word.
Song Qingli couldn't take it anymore. She stood up all of a sudden and retorted, "I'm not a baby. I'm an adult. That's right. I didn't film the task you gave me. How about it? You ... are you going to bite me because of it?!"
"....."
Li Zhen's temples were throbbing. This fellow was even more infuriating than the person in the wheelchair. She wanted to break this woman's neck.
"Pack your things and come with me to the set. Although you don't have any shoots for these few days, it'll still be helpful for your lousy acting skills by just watching the others act."
Gu Zechuan's eyes darkened as he turned his head to look at the girl's reaction.
Song Qingli pursed her lips and thought to herself, 'If I go on set now, I can monitor Su Qinqin's behavior and look after Xiao Yi. That's a great idea!'
The young girl bit her lower lip shyly. Her eyes were shining and the corners of her mouth looked like she was about to smile. "Sure, sure. I'll pack up immediately."
She asked Uncle Jin for a luggage bag and she was only going to bring a few clothes but in the end, she couldn't even keep her script inside the bag.
When Song Qingli got into the car, she happily waved goodbye. Little did she know that the smile on her face was piercing Gu Zechuan's dark eyes.
When Li Zhen turned around, she saw the man with a tense jaw and cold eyes in the rearview mirror.
She was a smart person and could tell at a glance that Gu Zechuan and Song Qingli had an unusual relationship. It was intimate but there was no communication between them as if the two of them were having an argument.
Song Qingli switched on her phone and realized that the director had created a group with all the actors in it. She held her breath and opened the group member's information. Then, she saw an orange sunset avatar with a nickname that only had one English letter: 'X'.
This must be Xiao Yi's WeChat.
'Oh my God ~'
The girl wanted to send a friend request immediately but before she could touch the screen, she stopped herself. Then, she remembered what she had said to him the other day, 'you must be wary of women who approach you out of nowhere and for no reason.'
Although she really wanted to send him a friend request on WeChat, she still felt that her idol should always remain high and mighty. She could look at him from afar but she wouldn't want to disturb him.
In this life, she just had to protect him secretly as long as he didn't ruin his life as he did in her previous life.
She would be satisfied with it as long as her idol continued shining bright on stage.
"Song Qingli? Song Qingli!" Li Zhen shouted a few times and her patience was running out.
"Huh? Sister Li, you were talking to me?" The girl was pulled back to reality by Li Zhen's voice.
"That's right. Why do girls like you daydream all the time? I've been calling you for such a long time and you couldn't hear me. Let me ask you, why did Gu Zechuan marry you? " Li Zhen was one of the few who knew the truth. To be able to enter the Gu Gardens so easily, Song Qingli had also assumed that Li Zhen wasn't someone ordinary as well; perhaps this has something to do with Gu Zechuan.
"I would like to know as well." The young girl shook her head.
"It can't be because of your Jade-like face, right?" Li Zhen had always been a good judge of character. Gu Zechuan did not look like a lecherous man. Just by looking at his deep black eyes, one could tell that he was an old fox full of schemes.
Why would a crippled old fox trap a little, timid cat like her?
Li Zhen glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Song Qingli holding her phone and smiling like a lovestruck girl. Li Zhen couldn't help but roll her eyes.
