As soon as he finished all this, Yan Qi's video call came over.

Gu Zhaohua quickly straightened his hair, found a good angle, and clicked the call button.

Seeing her face, Yan Qi was completely relieved: "If you don't come back, don't say anything. I've been waiting for you to eat."

Gu Zhaohua stuck out his tongue: "I'm sorry. When I got home, I found that the house was too messy. I wanted to clean it up, and I have been busy until now."

She specially found a white wall as the background so that Yan Qi could not tell that she was in the hotel.

It's best not to let him know about the mess at home.

"You..." Yan Qi hesitated for a while and asked, "Aren't you coming back today?"

"Yeah." Gu Zhaohua said in a pretending to be relaxed: "Isn't this house due to expire soon? I'm not going to renew the lease. I just happened to be at home recently to put things in order. I'll cancel the lease then so I can move directly."

Hearing her answer, Yan Qi said nothing.

Gu Zhaohua had a smile on his face, but he was nervous in his heart. He wanted to look back and see if the secret was exposed somewhere.

After a while, Yan Qi nodded: "Yeah, that's fine. You will work more and more in the future. While you are a little free now, you can do more."

The two chatted for a few more words as if nothing had happened, then hung up the video. Gu Zhaohua looked at the black screen of his phone and sighed heavily.

Unexpectedly, the little acting skills I learned from Yan Qi would eventually be used back by the teacher.

Somehow, she didn't want those negative things about herself to appear in front of Yan Qi's eyes.

If she could, she just wanted to see herself as "very good, very good, and unique" in Yan Qi's eyes.

Thinking of Yan Qi's evaluation of him last time, Gu Zhaohua felt warm in his heart.

Yan Qi was so good, like a beam of warm light, illuminating her loneliness and darkness in this world, accompanying her through the first mess.

Such a good person should always maintain dignity and cleanliness. Therefore, she must not let Xu Hong find out that she has any relationship with Yan Qi. A filthy person like Xu Hong is not worthy of being exposed to the light!

***

After hanging up the video, Yan Qi was alone at home, looking at the food on the table that had lost its heat, and remained silent.

The food in this episode was not very good, and the guests were not given the opportunity to cook for themselves. Gu Zhaohua didn’t eat anything for two days in a row. On the way back, he specifically asked Xiao Shi to order a meal from her favorite restaurant and bring it over.

.

He knew that Gu Zhaohua was afraid of being discovered that they were living together, so he always followed her wishes. Every time he came back from the show, he would never look at her twice. After getting off the plane, he would get in the car and go home alone.

On the outside, they are movie stars and losers who have nothing to do with each other; on the inside, behind closed doors, they are partners, close friends, and they exist like family to each other.

But now, it seems that Gu Zhaohua doesn't want this last bit of intimate space.

She has always had a very clear life plan and is moving forward with determination towards that goal. However, she is not included in this plan from beginning to end.

Thinking of this, Yan Qi's fists clenched tightly, and veins appeared on the back of his hands.

It was because the emotions he had always shown were too gentle, giving Gu Zhaohua enough space.

The plan of boiling frogs in warm water has always been suitable only for people who want to be content with the status quo, but for people like Gu Zhaohua who are extremely eager to jump out of their comfort zone, only by aggressively increasing the firepower can she be forced to face her emotions.

***

After staying in the hotel for one night, Gu Zhaohua dressed up specially the next day and walked around in front of the company.

Sure enough, as soon as she appeared, she immediately attracted Xu Hong!

"what are you doing!"

Gu Zhaohua pretended to struggle, and followed Xu Hong's strength and was dragged to the edge of the green belt where there was no one around.

"Where's the money!"

Xu Hong got straight to the point: "It's been a night, you should think it over clearly!"

That night, Xu Hong was so angry that she didn't even sleep well. She scolded Gu Zhaohua at home all night for being a wolf and a bad person!

She couldn't contact her daughter and didn't know where she was, so she could only wait and wait downstairs in the company early in the morning.

Seeing that she was not even polite, Gu Zhaohua said with a straight face: "I have no money."

"No money!" Xu Hong pulled her and rushed to the company gate: "If you don't have any money, go ahead and borrow it! I will personally take you to see your Mr. Wu and have a good chat with your colleagues about whether it is only natural for a daughter to support her mother!"

Gu Zhaohua allowed her to be dragged out, with resignation written all over his face: "You can make a fuss if you want. It's better to make it so that everyone in the street knows about our family's bad things, and everyone in the company knows that I owe money.

My reputation is bad again, and you will be happy if my career is over!"

Hearing her words, Xu Hong hesitated.

The more popular Gu Zhaohua is, the more money she makes. If her reputation falls to the bottom again because of these things, then where will her precious son's future money come from!

After figuring this out, Xu Hong immediately calmed down and pulled Gu Zhaohua into hiding again as if she had a guilty conscience.

"Mom has been waiting for you here all morning. It's such a hot day and I didn't even take a sip of water!" Xu Hong stretched out her hand and helped her daughter straighten her rumpled clothes: "I just want to go in and have a fight with you, Mr. Wu.

Hello, we are old acquaintances after all, so you have to be polite, right?"

"Didn't Wang Li'e tell you? She and Wu Rong are not here!" Gu Zhaohua said angrily: "Go back quickly, I still have to go to work!"

After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave. Xu Hong pulled her back: "Then when will they come back?"

Gu Zhaohua sneered: "Don't you have Wang Li'e's phone number? Ask her!"

Xu Hong chuckled: "You, Manager Wang, are very busy, and it's not good for mom to always disturb others... So, Zhaohua, you give mom some money, and mom will buy some good food, and come back for dinner tonight!"

Gu Zhaohua took out 200 yuan from his body in disgust and threw it to her: "Let's go, let's go!"

Xu Hong blurted out: "200 is not enough, your brother needs 2,000 to buy a pair of shoes!"

"Aren't you buying groceries and cooking for me? Why are you buying shoes for Gu Jiahua?" Gu Zhaohua mocked: "It's only 200, do you want me to love you?"

Xu Hong couldn't get anything out of this place, and she had to pay for the trip! She took the 200 yuan away, forced Gu Zhaohua to release her from the blacklist, and then left humming a song.

Seeing her walking away, Gu Zhaohua turned around and walked into the company.

As expected, Wang Li'e and Wu Rong were not here. They must have known Xu Hong's personality and were afraid that she would pester him to borrow money as soon as she came to Haishi, so it was better to run away first.

It's you who recruited people, and then you can't afford to play with them after they're here. It's really rubbish!

But it's okay if they're not here.

After yesterday's meeting with Xu Hong and Gu Jiahua, Gu Zhaohua was forced to accept many memories from the original owner and his family.

Apart from the bad things like being forced to borrow money to sign a contract, there is actually one great thing!

Although Wu Rong agreed to lend Xu Hong 2 million, he was not stupid. He knew that people like Xu Hong were a scoundrel and was worried that she would run away after taking the money. Therefore, the entire loan process was a contract with Gu Zhaohua himself.

It was also her own account.

Gu Zhaohua was confused and was seduced by her mother into signing the IOU and the contract, and a huge sum of 2 million was added to her account. Maybe such a large sum of money finally woke her up. This girl was rarely smart for once.

She refused to transfer the money directly to Xu Hong. Instead, she paid the full price of a house through her own account. Her name was the only one listed on the property certificate as the homeowner.

Although the real estate certificate and the remaining money were later taken away by Xu Hong, at any rate, she did not have everything.

Over the years, Xu Hong, mother and son, lived in their daughter's house, using the money from selling their daughter, and living very comfortably. She was the only one living in a rental house in Haishi, unable to even pay the rent.

To terminate the contract with Lan Hai, the first thing to do is to collect enough liquidated damages. Originally, Gu Zhaohua was still worried about money, but the arrival of Xu Hong and her son inadvertently brought her this windfall!

She has determined that Wu Rong and Wang Li'e will not return to Haishi in the near future. After the conversation in the morning, Xu Hong was afraid of delaying her daughter's ability to make money, so she certainly did not dare to come to the company to cause trouble in a big way.

Gu Zhaohua booked a ticket back to his hometown and checked the procedures and documents required for buying and selling a house.

Next, as long as Xu Hong and her son are stabilized and everything is done as soon as possible, she can regain her freedom.
