Old Madam Chen was an out-and-out Internet expert. She was a fashionable grandmother.
Although she was still a step behind the young people, she was already quite impressive among a bunch of old people.
But now —
"Amazing! Amazing! "
Old Madam Chen only felt that Gu Shishi in front of her was amazing.
"Not only are you proficient in ancient ink painting, characters, flowers, and birds, but you can even draw such childlike things. You can even capture different temperaments and styles. You're indeed a master!"
Gu Shishi blushed a little when she was praised like this in front of others.
Old Madam Chen originally thought that since she was so young, she should be the master's disciple.
Even if her own granddaughter said that she was a master of ink painting, she still had some doubts.
Now, seeing was believing. This skill …
"Master, how long have you been practicing painting?"
She was so young and so accomplished.
Not to mention other things, just a few strokes from Sun Wukong in the bowl clearly made her feel that he had the guts to wreak havoc in heaven!
"I've been holding a brush since I was five."
Gu Shishi smiled and did not answer directly.
"My master has been teaching me since I was a child."
Old Madam Chen's expression suddenly became serious. "May I ask about your master …"
Gu Shishi smiled bitterly. "He passed away."
Even if he didn't pass away, she was separated by heaven and earth after transmigrating here.
"What a pity."
Old Madam Chen sighed.
"Master, you …"
"Grandma, it's almost lunchtime. Don't just chat."
Chen Kexin was afraid that Gu Shishi would give herself away and wanted to pull her away.
"I've booked a seat at Baiwei Restaurant. After lunch, I'll send you home early."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Old Madam Chen immediately responded.
"Master, I wanted to treat you to a meal at home. But my Keke said that you like Cantonese cuisine, so I booked the most authentic Baiwei Restaurant and asked her master, Master Cai, to personally cook. "
Old Madam Chen was happy as she thought about it.
Not only did she get the master's work, but she could also have a meal with him.
Although she was young, it was nothing. She liked new things the most and had never fallen behind. She could still have common topics with young people.
Gu Shishi looked at Chen Kexin, and Chen Kexin also looked at her.
"Grandma, didn't you say that Grandma Zhang is coming in the afternoon? Also, didn't Grandma Li invite you to try on a custom-made cheongsam? "
Chen Kexin said hesitantly.
"It's okay, it's okay. Let's have a meal. I'll tell them that I'll be a little late."
Old Madam Chen was very enthusiastic.
Of course, she was also quite observant. When she turned around, she saw that Gu Shishi had not taken off her mask.
Her heart skipped a beat.
"Master, don't tell me you don't want to expose your identity?"
Alright.
The old lady even knew what the third dimension was.
Gu Shishi really had to hand it to Grandma Chen.
"I'm very tight-lipped. If you don't believe me, you can ask Keke. I've never told anyone about her failing exams."
Old Madam Chen swore.
Chen Kexin: "… Grandma!"
"What does that have to do with the master?"
Gu Shishi's mouth twitched.
Forget it.
Old Madam Chen … is a true woman. So be it …
Baiwei Ju.
As noon approached, the hall, which should have been bustling with activity, was now greeted with a cold stream of air.
The man in the suit walked in expressionlessly.
His chiseled side profile looked handsome and cold. His black eyes were sharp and gleaming with a cold light.
He stood in the hall, making the busy waiters and customers pause for half a second. Even the noisy chatter quieted down.
Baiwei Ju, three Michelin stars.
The place where people had to line up to eat was always full of people at all times.
"Brother … Brother Huo … You're really here!"
An incredulous and joyful voice suddenly rang out.
Huo Sishen raised his eyes and looked over coldly. He saw Luo Pinting sitting by the window and waving at him.
He couldn't help but squint his eyes and walk over with his long and slender legs.
The waiter led the way for him. Luo Pinting actually stood up and pulled out a seat for him.
"Thank you for coming. I … I really didn't expect that you would agree to have a meal with me …"
Her face was a little pink, and her black eyes were filled with shyness. She couldn't hide her happiness.
However, Huo Sishen didn't sit down. He just looked down at her from above.
"Have a meal with me?"
There was a hint of sarcasm between his thin lips.
"It seems that Miss Luo thinks that the Luo family hasn't fallen hard enough."
Luo Pinting's face instantly turned pale.
"Brother Huo, I know that the rumors are false. I believe you just like Chuchu."
Huo Sishen narrowed his eyes.
Luo Pinting thought that he believed her and wanted to give her a chance to explain. She was even more anxious to speak.
"I heard from Second Brother Huo that you don't like to get along with people."
"That's why I didn't dare to disturb you."
She lowered her head and blushed.
Therefore, she didn't see the sarcasm in Huo Sishen's eyes.
"Brother Huo, you've been taking care of Chuchu and us Chuchu playmates since you were young. You've always been very good to us. You can't be someone who brings bad luck to your parents. It must be an accident."
Luo Pinting grabbed her napkin.
"Chuchu and I have always hoped that you could walk out of the shadows and be well."
"Unfortunately, I've always been controlled by my parents and didn't have the chance to get close to you."
The disdain on Huo Sishen's face deepened.
Now that the Luo family had fallen, no one cared about her anymore.
"This time, you want me to come to your house to play the piano to relieve your boredom." Luo Pinting's face was red. "Brother Huo, I-I'm willing. But Gu Shishi —"
She gritted her teeth as she said this.
"I'm not officially here. Your fiancée will be jealous, won't she?"
In the past, she had been warned by the elders in her family to stay away from the Huo family. Otherwise, it would bring misfortune and bad luck.
However, after hiding for so long, wasn't the Luo family still done for? Wasn't her father arrested?!
She, Luo Pinting, lost everything overnight. Gu Shishi, a commoner, was better off being trampled under her feet!
Now that Brother Huo wanted her to come to his house to play the piano, what did that mean? Did he notice her?
Was he looking for an opportunity to get close to her?
She had nothing. She had no job and no father to protect her!
However, Brother Huo had thrown her a lifeline at this time. What did he want to do? Of course, he wanted to save her. He wanted to save her from this disaster!
Huo Chuchu was right back then. If her brother was really a jinx, the first person to die should be her, the sister who followed him the most closely!
Why did it have to be her father and grandfather who were not home for half a month?!
Therefore, it was just an accident!
Gu Shishi was still alive and kicking. Luo Pinting was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. It was impossible for her to be jinxed so easily!
Now, she could only hold on tightly to this handsome and cold man who had made her infatuated with him since she was 15 years old.
He was arrogant. His mature masculinity was so charming. Huo Wencheng could never compare to him!
"At a time like this, even Wushuang can't help me. Uncle Gu, who is close to my father, can only comfort me. Only you, Brother Huo, are willing to save me."
As Luo Pinting spoke, she was almost touched.
At a time like this, someone who was willing to treat her well must have liked her!
Other than her, who else could understand how her brother felt when he was abandoned by everyone?!
Even her best friends had abandoned her. Her mother only knew how to cry. It was useless. She was alone and helpless!
In just one night, she had lost everything. The despair and fear of being underestimated, and the suffocating feeling of being drowned …
Wasn't he the same back then?!
"You're the only one who understands me, Brother Huo."
"Thank you."
Luo Pinting's eyes were filled with tears.
Huo Sishen's thin lips were tightly pursed.
The coldness in his eyes became more and more intense.
However, before he could speak, he heard someone calling out to him.
"Luo Pinting? You're here too … "
Chen Kexin's surprised voice could be heard.
He quickly interrupted Luo Pinting's heartfelt conversation.
On the other hand, Huo Sishen looked up in displeasure. His cold eyes were startled.
Behind Chen Kexin was a girl with long hair. She was dressed in a blue and black retro outfit. However, her slender waist was completely accentuated. Her small face was full and lustrous like a white rose petal that had slipped through dew.
However, the shock in her eyes pierced him.
"Huo …"
Big Boss …
Gu Shishi was also stunned.
She looked at the crowded hall and then at the handsome man sitting upright. For a moment, she was stunned.
The entire hall seemed to be shining on him.
But — didn't he say that he was working overtime? Didn't he say that he hated to eat with others?
Didn't he say that he didn't like to eat in public?
Now, Luo Pinting was sitting opposite him. The two of them were eating in this restaurant?
Moreover, what did Luo Pinting say?!
Big Boss Huo was going to help her get through this difficult time? Even Gu Wushuang was ignoring her. Huo Sishen, the arrogant, no, stupid Big Boss, was going to help her?!
Gu Shishi couldn't help but frown. For the first time since she had transmigrated, her beautiful face showed a trace of displeasure.
She didn't like Luo Pinting.
She didn't like the fact that Huo Sishen was sitting with this annoying woman!
She didn't like the fact that Huo Sishen was using overtime as an excuse to sit with this annoying woman for a meal!
The last time she ate French cuisine with him, the entire hall was booked.
They had never eaten in such a lively and bustling hall with so many people!
She frowned.
"Shishi, our private room is over there."
Chen Kexin sensed that the atmosphere was a little tense.
If her fiancé was eating alone with one of her rivals who had bullied her, she would probably explode.
As Chen Kexin thought about it, he quickly pulled Gu Shishi over.
"My grandma is waiting for us in the private room."
However, he didn't manage to pull her over.
Gu Shishi had already walked up to them valiantly and proudly.
She didn't even look at Luo Pinting.
"Huo Sishen."
Her voice was crisp and clear. This was the first time she had called him by his full name.
Huo Sishen raised his eyebrows.
A trace of smugness flashed across Luo Pinting's eyes. "Shishi?"
Women were sensitive. Although Gu Shishi was wearing a mask, she took off her sunglasses and Luo Pinting recognized her at a glance.
"I specially invited Big Brother Huo today to thank him for helping me …"
"Big Brother Huo?"
Gu Shishi turned her head.
"He only has one biological sister. Her name is Huo Chuchu. I don't think she had plastic surgery to look like you. "
Everyone knew about Luo Pinting's feelings for Huo Sishen that day at the swimming pool party.
The man who wanted to snatch her treasure and prolong his life could only dream of one word.
"Except for Huo Chuchu —"
Gu Shishi turned back to look at the man at the table.
Her red lips parted slightly as she spoke word by word.
"In this world, I'm the only one who can call him Big Brother Huo."
"It's a pleasure in the bedroom, understand?"
Luo Pinting opened her mouth. "Why are you so vulgar?"
Gu Shishi smiled as if she didn't hear her.
"Miss Luo, just don't call him that."
Luo Pinting's face turned red.
"Darling, since you're here … working overtime, I'll leave first."
Gu Shishi looked at Huo Sishen with a half-smile on her face.
Her voice was extremely gentle.
Huo Sishen also frowned. … ….
