Leaving the room to have breakfast at the appointed time, a group of people was waiting downstairs. They only started setting the chopsticks when they saw them coming down.

Gu Siyu noticed that when they were eating, Aunt Zhang would send someone to take the food to the back room.

She guessed it was for the "Madam" mentioned earlier.

Huo Junxian arranged many things. After the meal, she called Chen Tao to the study to write a list. When Chen Tao went out in a few days, he would buy Christmas items for her - fairy lights, gift boxes. It seemed like they were going to celebrate together.

Gu Siyu went to the bathroom to check messages, mostly from He Xiao.

He Xiao: [Siyu, I've thought it over. You should run. Don't worry about the money; I'll keep the one million for you. Give the money back to Huo Junxian and hide for a while. I won't tell anyone (including Jiayang).]

[You don't have to worry about me. Huo Junxian shouldn't do anything to me. I'm just a commoner; what can she do to me?]

[I know you like to do things on your own, but, in this case, it's better to discuss it together (after reading this, delete it directly).]

[We are forever good friends. I hope you're well.]

Gu Siyu was touched. She had friends before, mostly mischievous troublemakers. At that time, they were all very loyal, but when she stopped going to school, the contacts dwindled. Previously, when she sold alcohol in a bar, she met a few old friends. They had a lively chat, and when it came time to pay for the drinks, they ambiguously handed her a few bills, saying they wanted to sleep with her and asked if she wanted to be a lover.

It was quite amusing.

Gu Siyu: [I know, thank you.]

He Xiao: [If you need anything, send me a message. I'll help you with whatever I can. My store is ready, officially opening next week. With Jiayang's support, there won't be any trouble.]

Gu Siyu: [Don't fully trust Jiayang either. Be a bit more cautious.]

He Xiao: [I know.]

Knowing that she wanted to help, the more she involved herself, the less she could let her participate.

He Xiao did remind her of something. A commoner might not be able to help much, but maybe someone could...

Gu Siyu retrieved a number from her messages, entered it into the text message app, and sent a message: [Do you know anyone from the Huo family? Can you find a way to get Huo Junxian to leave? I'm in trouble.]

About to send it, she hesitated. Afraid the recipient would see the message and not reply, she added another line: [Consider it a favor for your sister. Please help me.]

After sending it, there was no reply. Gu Siyu didn't wait; she deleted the message. Coming out, Aunt Zhang was about to knock on the door, saying, "Miss, go to the study."

Gu Siyu followed Aunt Zhang to the study.

The study room was simple, with a desk and a few large bookshelves. Huo Junxian's morning dress was stained, and she had changed into a formal shirt and long pants, busy writing something with a pen lowered.

Upon hearing the sound of the door opening, Huo Junxian propped her chin up with the pen and looked at her. "Why did you take so long?"

Gu Siyu said, "Constipation."

"Uncivilized," Huo Junxian remarked.

Gu Siyu deliberately took a sheet of printed paper from her table and waved it in her hand. Huo Junxian asked, "What do you want to buy? I'll have someone bring it to you."
