Chapter 05 : I'm here to apologize to you

Since she had nothing to do in the afternoon, Yan Xi took her time to sort out the storyline in her mind.

In the end, she found out that what the Host did was simply outrageous.

The Host had done all the things that could insult and ridicule Gu Shen. When Gu Shen needed to rest, she brought a large group of people to the villa for a ball.

When Gu Shen had a meeting the next day, she tore up all the important documents he needed and even made fun of Gu Shen’s legs in front of all his friends, scolding him for embarrassing her.

It was a miracle that Gu Shen didn’t kill the Host. Yan Xi sighed with emotion. No wonder he could become a CEO. He had more endurance than anyone else.

…

Gu Shen sat in the study room for a long time, but the document in front of him remained untouched.

He suddenly asked, “Will a person become completely different overnight?”

Gu Yi lowered his head and replied respectfully, “It’s hard to say.”

There was a knock on the door. As Gu Shen brought his attention back, he heard a voice coming from outside.

“Gu Shen, can I come in?”

Yan Xi had been to the study room many times before, and every time, she would deliberately destroy a large number of documents. She had never knocked on the door before, but now she was suddenly well-behaved.

“Come in.”

With the door slightly opened, Yan Xi leaned against the door frame and looked carefully, like a kitten who was going to explore the outside world alone.

When she saw Gu Shen, she pushed the door open with ease and walked to him.

“What brought you here?”

“I’m here to apologize to you.” Yan Xi’s attitude was sincere. “I reflected on myself deeply. Previously, because of my stupidity, I did a lot of wrong things. I’m very sorry. I don’t ask for your forgiveness, but I hope you can give me a chance to compensate.”

“Compensate?” Gu Shen let out a snort, but his eyes were dark. “Do you need me to remind you that last month, you stood here and said the same thing to me? What did you do after that?”

This was the third time Yan Xi had said this.

She said it three times, and she failed to do it three times.

Deceit was what Gu Shen hated the most.

“Yan Xi.” His voice was cold and bone-chilling. “Don’t you play tricks with me. What I need is for you to be obedient and sensible, not those meaningless compensations. Don’t challenge me again.”

“This is the last time.” Yan Xi’s tone was firm. “I promise you that I will do everything I say.”

“I’ll prove it to you.”

…

In order to better recover from the wound, Yan Xi had been recuperating at home. Gu Shen provided her with everything she needed, so she lived her life quite comfortably.

It was just that there were always annoying people who came to ruin your comfortable life.

Yan Xi had just forked a piece of pineapple from the plate when the phone that had been silent for a long time suddenly rang.

She glanced at the caller ID and saw that It was from Luo Yun.

Wasn’t she her stepmother?

Yan Xi picked up the call with a pineapple in her mouth.

“Yan Xi.” The voice on the other end of the line sounded bossy. “It’s your father’s birthday in a few days. Remember to bring Gu Shen home to celebrate it.”

“A big birthday party at 45 years old?” Yan Xi’s tone was lazy. “Is it so necessary?”

The voice on the other end of the phone paused for a moment. When she spoke again, she sounded furious.

“What are you talking about? He’s your father, of course it’s necessary. You’d better bring Gu Shen back in a few days.”

“He doesn’t really have time.” Yan Xi rejected her directly. “Gu Shen is busy every day and has no time to attend the birthday celebration.”

“What could he be busy with?”

Yan Xi replied, “Anyway, he isn’t someone you can call over just because you want to.”

Luo Yun was so angry that her face almost turned crooked. She let out a sarcastic laugh and said, “Why? Does Miss Yan think that because she’s married to the First Master of the Gu family, she gets to have a say now?”
