The early morning sunshine poured in through the window, warm and comfortable.
The dust particles danced in the sunlight.
Gu Zhi raised his arm to block the glaring sunlight.
His vision gradually got clear.
Where am I?
The old, yellowed ceiling was nothing like the lavishly decorated one in his home.
Gu Zhi sat up in a rush, and the bed creaked due to the heavy movement.
He lifted the quilt and looked underneath, then quickly put it back, gasping and still suffering from the shock.
Hualalaâ
Gu Zhiâs fine hair stood up all over and he looked in the direction of the sound.
There was no door in the place, only a crystal curtain, and outside the curtain was the living room. Right now a figure was walking up and down in the living room.
Gu Zhi got out of bed and lifted the curtain to leave.
He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the person in the living room.
âYo, you woke up.â
Ming Shu heaped the box to one side and looked back to see Gu Zhi standing there.
âLast night...â Gu Zhi asked, âDid you do anything to me?â
âDo you want me to do something to you, or do you want me not to do something to you?â Ming Shu leaned on the box with one hand.
Gu Zhi said nothing; his expression was a little conflicted.
It would be a great loss to him if she took the opportunity and slept with him, but he didnât remember it at all!
âRelax. I donât take a fancy on that body.â Ming Shu looked at him and then continued moving the box.
What?!
She didnât take a fancy on his body!
Why? He was in good shape!
Gu Zhi squeezed out a sentence after a long time. âWhere is the bathroom?â
Ming Shu pointed somewhere conveniently.
Gu Zhi found the bathroom, which was so small that he didnât want to go in.
He turned on the tap and washed his face, then wiped away the water in front of the mirror.
He Renânian, that bitch!
He drugged him.
Donât let me see you again!
But why didnât she take the opportunity to sleep with him?
Gu Zhi pulled open his clothes in front of the mirror and looked at his figure. He looked great!
She didnât enjoy a free gift that came to her door. Was there anything wrong with her brain?
Gu Zhi doubted his life for a long while in the bathroom before leaving.
The living room had already become quite spacious. Ming Shu put the rest of the unused things into the box, leaving only some necessary items.
Gu Zhi frowned and looked around. âYou live in such a place?â
âOr what? Do you think everyone is a rich second generation and lives in a palace?â I also want to be a foppish rich second generation, but the Harmony System canât afford that for me! What can I do! I have to rely on myself!
âCan you speak nicely?â Was it necessary for her to retort to him early in the morning?
Ming Shu smiled. âNo.â
Gu Zhi spat out blood. What the hell is this.
Calm down.
I canât quarrel with my wife.
âYou can move in and live with me.â
Ming Shu refused without looking up: âNo.â
âWhy?â Gu Zhi raised his chin. âLiving in such a place makes you comfortable?â
You donât love yourself, but I do!
How could his wife live in such a place.
He looked at the bed, the couch, and the bathroom. There wasnât even a bathtub.
His wife ought to be spoiled.
Ming Shu: âWhy should I come live with you?â
Gu Zhi: âIâll support you in the future.â
Ming Shu chuckled. âChief Gu, donât tell me that youâve taken a fancy on me just because of a bet.â
Gu Zhi sounded confident. âI do like you, so what?â
I like your a**!
Ming Shu shrugged. âNothing, go ahead then.â
Where is my knife!
Gu Zhi took two steps toward Ming Shu. He looked down at her from his height. âYouâre really not moving in with me?â
Ming Shu chutted. âIâve made it very clear, Captain Gu, do you have a poor understanding or bad ears?â
âVery well.â
Gu Zhi put away the knife in his hand, took his coat, and walked toward the door, showing a tyrant bossâs back to Ming Shu.
Ming Shu: ???
What âvery wellâ?
On the third day, Ming Shu learned what Gu Tyrant Boss Zhi meant.
The place was going to be demolished.
Rich people... You shouldnât provoke them, ever.
The house was rented. Gu Zhi took quick action and the building was going to be demolished very soon. The landlord had been paid, so as the tenant, Ming Shu indeed had no justification to stay.
But it was hard to find another house in a short timeâmainly because Ming Shu was very poor.
She had to move to the office first.
Gu Zhi was almost angered to the point he spat blood. She didnât want to live with him even facing such circumstances, was she afraid that he would eat her!
Fine.
He was thinking like that.
But a man who didnât want to âeatâ his wife was not a good man.
He was not wrong!
Gu Zhi looked at the dazzling red characters on the office door and frowned. What was going on?
Squeakâ
The door opened from inside; the girl seemed to be ready to go out. Seeing him stand outside, she immediately offered a smile.
The whole world seemed to be warming up.
Gu Zhi felt his heart began to soften.
âHey, Mr. Gu, youâre not going to take this place down as well, right?â
âWhatâs going on here?â Gu Zhi asked while pointing to the characters on the door calmly.
âJust some threatening words,â Ming Shu answered in a casual tone. âItâs nothing strange.â
âWho did it?â
Ming Shuâs expression became unreadable. âThis is a bit of a deep question.â
Gu Zhi: ??? Deep question?
Ming Shu sounded melancholy. âIâve offended too many people so I donât know who did this.â
Puâ
Let me just strangle her!
Gu Zhi took several deep breaths. âI have a new case and I want you to be a consultant. Iâll provide accommodation, three meals a day, night snacks and more snacks, and salary. Will you take the offer?â
Ming Shu: â...â
I... for the sake of snacks.
âOkay.â
Gu Zhi was complacent inside. He knew that snacks would work.
âPack up your things and Iâll pick you up this afternoon.â
Then he left the office. He looked around and found there were many old buildings in the vicinity, and very few surveillance cameras.
He got in the car and dialed a number.
âFind out who wrote the sentences outside the 13th Month Firm, Iâll want a name.â
...
Ming Shu found Little White in central park.
Little White was very excited and spin around Ming Shu several circles.
Ming Shu asked her, âDo you have any wishes?â
Little White was confused, âWishes?â
âRight, I can help you with that.â She wanted to know what the matter was last time.
The art of managing ghosts...
What is that?
Does it have anything to do with the disappearance of the Hostâs father?
âCan you?â Little White asked carefully. Then she continued shyly after Ming Shu nodded her head. âI... I want the person I like to know that I like him.â
Ming Shu got the address and the person to confess to from Little White.
âIf I tell him, you might disappear. Do you still want me to tell him?â
Little White was stunned.
After a long while, she nodded firmly.
âOkay, Iâll go tell him.â
At the university gate...
Ming Shu called a lovely girl. âCan you help me find Yang Zhou?â
Ming Shu smiled gently, and the little girl inexplicably became a little shy. She answered in a low voice, âSenior Brother Yang is not at school, he has gone to a company for his internship...â
âCan you tell me which company heâs in?â
Meeting with Ming Shuâs smiling eyes, the girl couldnât say any rejective words and just obediently gave Ming Shu an address.
Ming Shu thanked her and then went to that address.
She stared at the name on the building.
It was the Yao familyâs company!
What a doomed love!
My snacks coupon, Iâm coming!
âHello, may I help you?â The young miss at the front desk was very polite.
âI came to find snacks... sorry, Yang Zhou.â Ming Shu smiled.
âAssistant Yang, someone is here to meet you.â The young miss suddenly waved in a direction.
Yang Zhou happened to be coming down from the company elevator, followed by a woman with delicate makeup who walked out of the elevator with many people all around them.
