Chapter 267

“If it’s convenient, may I ask what kind of misunderstanding it is?” She asked in a calm voice.

Little sister Huo is not the kind of person who pesters endlessly or cannot be reasoned with. She was so distraught tonight, this misunderstanding must have been a big one.

Over the phone, she heard Gu Chengyan sighing, and she couldn’t help but start worrying as well.

“It’s about...”

“Sister-in-law, is that scumbag Gu Chengyan calling you?!” Before Gu Chengyan could finish speaking, Huo Mei Shu’s sharp voice roared!

Rong Dai had not yet reacted when her phone was snatched away by little sister, who promptly hung up the call and very quickly added Gu Chengyan's number to the blacklist.

“That scumbag! Bastard! To think I liked him for so many years, I was really blind!”

Huo Mei Shu’s chest heaved with anger as she handed the phone back to Rong Dai and then launched into a tirade of curses, with tears streaming down her face again with "drip drip drops".

Seeing little sister in this state, Rong Dai couldn’t help feeling distress for her in her heart.

Every girl who dives headfirst into love, her initial fantasies are all beautiful.

But love also contains life.

When love collides with life, it is inevitable that it will exhaust one’s mind and energy, with many ending prematurely.

She didn’t know which kind little sister belonged to, but it must have been very painful for little sister.

Back at the film and television city, little sister looked at Gu Chengyan with eyes full of stars.

But now, in the blink of an eye, it had come to this.

No wonder little uncle was so against it back then, it seems he had foresight.

“Don’t cry first, don’t scold either. Nothing is set in stone yet, right? If you jump to conclusions now, you'll feel guilty later.”

Rong Dai supported her to the sofa to sit down, wrapped a blanket around her, then sat down herself.

“Now you can tell me what happened to make you so sad and angry?”

Little sister's emotions were sometimes hard to keep stable, but she had liked Gu Chengyan for so many years.

Whatever made her so furious must have been no small matter, it must have crossed her bottom line and tolerance.

“Sister-in-law, I really...was too naive! Blinded by his looks and talent!”

As Huo Mei Shu spoke, she secretly pinched her own wrist twice, immediately turning it purple.

Rong Dai’s eyebrows immediately shot up as she stared at Huo Mei Shu solemnly and said seriously, “Mei Shu, I don’t know what you and Mr. Gu have been through.” 𝑓𝓇𝘦𝘦𝔀𝓮𝒷𝘯𝓸𝓋𝓮𝘭.𝓬𝓸𝘮

“But whether it was him who hurt you, or you did something wrong, you shouldn't choose to abuse yourself to vent.”

“There are many ways to vent, your body is given by your parents. If you hurt yourself like this, when your mother finds out, and your two older brothers, and grandmother find out, they will not only feel heartache but also disappointment.”

Perhaps because of her cruel experiences in her previous life, she would rather hurt others than hurt herself.

Especially when being hurt in love, using self-harm to vent and take revenge was not only foolish, but laughable.

Not even afraid of hurting yourself, yet afraid to hurt the one who hurt you?

Upon hearing her words, Huo Mei Shu's eyes turned red again as she choked back sobs answering her, “Sister-in-law, I'll remember.”

“Remembering is good. First tell me what happened that made you so upset. If you don't say, I have no way to analyze for you.”

Rong Dai nodded and got up to make her a cup of red tea.

Huo Mei Shu slowly sipped the red tea, her eyes a bit empty, and slowly recounted what had happened.

Rong Dai didn't interrupt, but listened to her attentively until she was done laying it all out.

After little sister had sorted through and told her everything, Rong Dai felt both helpless and a bit at a loss for words in her heart.

Little sister's downfall was in this impetuousness.

Sometimes impetuousness was good.

But sometimes it was a bad thing, especially when facing her own personal feelings, it was very easy to suffer losses.

But this matter could not be blamed on little sister either.

Although little sister was twenty-four, apart from being busy with her studies all these years, the only person she had liked was that Mr. Gu.

Her feelings were a blank, unlike Rong Dai who had the experience and lessons of her previous life.

Although the main reason for this incident was Mr. Gu, little sister’s temper had also become a trigger point.

The Gu family also had an adopted daughter, named Gu Mingci, around the same age as little sister.

Gu Mingci had mild mental illness, was no different from a normal person when not having episodes, and was also very talented, working in Gu Chengyan’s studio as well.

Coincidentally, after little sister had gone to work in Mr. Gu’s studio, not only did that Gu Mingci have frequent episodes, but she also told many upside-down lies with eyes wide open.

Little sister’s mouth wasn’t as eloquent, and she didn’t understand what was meant by solving problems in a roundabout way.

Today, just because of an orange that little sister had peeled for Mr. Gu, Gu Mingci went and ate it herself instead, and demanded that little sister peel a few more.

This would surely be intolerable to any woman.

But little sister could have chosen a different, more tactful way to politely refuse, yet she chose to argue on the spot.

The result was Gu Mingci having an episode, and Gu Chengyan, in order to pacify his sister, spoke harshly to little sister.

Little sister left in anger.

To call the matter simple would not be accurate, nor would calling it complicated.

Although she had not seen this Gu Mingci, from little sister’s account, she seemed like a restless person.

Based on normal thinking, if your own brother had a admiring suitor, and you also thought there was potential, most would choose to play matchmaker.

Just like back when little sister matched the original host with Eldest Young Master Huo.

But this Gu Mingci was the opposite, deliberately provoking little sister at every turn.

After being immersed in the inner palace for thirty years, based on her judgement, if little sister was not exaggerating, this Gu Mingci had feelings for Gu Chengyan.

They were not related by blood, only nominal siblings.

Little sister was so infatuated with Mr. Gu, it was perfectly normal for Gu Mingci to also develop feelings.

After all, such an excellent and handsome man, who wouldn’t like him?

She was just surprised that for the first time, she had misjudged.

That Mr. Gu was different from when she first saw him back at the film and television city.

“Mei Shu, don’t you think that Miss Gu has feelings for Mr. Gu...”

Before she could finish speaking, Huo Mei Shu wiped her tears and asked her, “I know, she’s even faking her illness, just to stick by Gu Chengyan’s side!”

“I’ve hinted to Gu Chengyan about it subtly twice before, but he doesn’t believe me. Gu Mingci’s level is too high, I can’t beat her.”

Huo Mei Shu said dejectedly.

Rong Dai gently patted her shoulder and glanced at the time, it was already two in the morning.

“Rest first, we’ll think of a solution tomorrow.”

Huo Mei Shu nodded, and reminded her again, “Can’t take his calls anymore, I don’t want to see him or listen to his explanations, I just want peace and quiet.”

Rong Dai was a bit exasperated but nodded, and the sisters-in-law went upstairs together to rest.
