In a word, a bolt from the blue.
When Huo Sijue found Gu Mingxi, she was sitting on the beach in despair. Lu Cheng released a drone and monitored almost the entire capital, and finally saw her on the edge of the cliff.
Gu Mingxi huddled there, constantly thinking about the man's words in his mind.
Dead man...could he use his own hands to kill Mr. Huo?
But if Huo Sijue knew about it, she would be even less likely to marry into the Huo family.
Gu Mingxi felt anxious and uneasy. She rubbed her hands back and forth, loosening and clenching them.
She never meant to harm anyone.
Just as Gu Mingxi was about to retreat, the man's evil and cold voice came to his mind again.
【Don’t expect anyone to save you】
[If you don’t do it, I will throw you to Wanbei]
Baybei is in chaos. No woman there can live to be forty. When they were young and beautiful, they were forced to sell their bodies. When they got older, they were forced to have children.
Women have no status there, pigs and dogs are not as good as...
Want to call the police?
Gu Mingxi was scared. She clenched her fists and hesitated, but decided to admit her mistake to Mr. Huo first.
"Mingxi!"
A familiar voice sounded.
Gu Mingxi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he climbed out after falling.
She cries as if grasping at straws and regaining her life: "I'm here."
Huo Sijue quickened his pace, with Nanzhi following closely behind.
But the moment Gu Mingxi saw Nanzhi, her eyes suddenly dimmed.
"Where have you been? Do you know how worried I am about you?"
Huo Sijue was anxious. His throat was hoarse. He glanced at Gu Mingxi up and down to make sure everything was okay before he felt relieved.
"It's okay, just come back with me."
Huo Sijue brushed away the loose hair from her forehead and spoke in a gentle voice.
"I can't go back."
"I did something wrong, so grandpa punished me. Can you take me to apologize to grandpa?"
Gu Mingxi hugged Huo Sijue's waist tightly and cried in the man's arms until she burst into tears.
She is afraid!
She wanted to tell Huo Sijue everything that happened today, but as soon as the thought flashed across her mind, the man's voice echoed in her head.
[If you tell Huo Sijue, you will never get him]
Nanzhi was like a third party watching from the side.
The moment she raised her eyes, she clearly saw Gu Mingxi hiding in Huo Sijue's arms and glaring at her...
Mingxi Villa
Gu Mingxi's expression was dull, and she knelt on the ground, her eyes red from crying.
"Why are you all here?"
living room
Mr. Huo sat on the sofa and glared at Huo Sijue dissatisfiedly: "In the past few years, you have rarely come to disturb my recovery."
As a result today, because of a woman?
"Grandpa, you are too harsh this time. Mingxi is one of our top players in Wanrui after all."
Huo Sijue stood behind Gu Mingxi, his posture upright.
The black suit pants were stained with sand from looking for Gu Mingxi at the beach. He cares so much about his image, but he has no scruples at this moment.
"Even if you want punishment, at least you have to say hello to me."
"Not only does she have endorsements, but she also has a new drama that Wan Rui has spent a lot of money on. In the midst of the storm, the image of an artist is very important."
Huo Sijue was right, Nanzhi was also very concerned about the filming of "Bai Mu Xing".
"Does this have anything to do with me?"
Grandpa suddenly raised his voice and scolded: "Wan Rui has been handed over to you a long time ago. If you can't handle this risk well, why do you think you are Mr. Huo?"
The atmosphere was tense, and Nanzhi felt that the IP he had cherished for so many years could not be destroyed.
She smiled and sat next to her great-grandfather and asked in a low voice.
"Do you know who the screenwriter is?" Her voice was soft and she smiled helplessly.
"It doesn't matter who the screenwriter is! Artists who behave badly will have to pay the price!"
"It doesn't matter if it's Wan Rui's play!"
As soon as Mr. Huo finished scolding him, Nanzhi laughed out loud: "Grandpa, the screenwriter is me..."
Mr. Huo was stunned for a moment and looked at Nanzhi.
"How is that possible? You're not a doctor?"
Mr. Huo seemed to understand something just after he finished speaking, and he felt even more angry: "You don't have to say good things for him. You have kept it from me for so many years. Unfortunately, I thought you were just repaying a favor."
"Report for what?"
"Should we give Mrs. Huo's position to her?"
Mr. Huo became angrier as he talked and slammed the teapot on the table.
"As long as I'm not dead, there's no way!"
Gu Mingxi's heart thumped.
"Grandpa, it's really me, and not only am I the screenwriter, but I am also the original author."
Seeing that her great-grandfather didn't believe it, Nanzhi simply took out her mobile phone, found the web page where it was serialized, and logged in her account and password.
"Now, look."
Mr. Huo stared at it for a long time. He frowned and took the phone and looked at it carefully.
"The author is He Qianyin?"
"yes."
Mr. Huo pulled down his reading glasses, looked at Nanzhi closely, and muttered: "Your grandpa doesn't have any literary talent, so how can he have a granddaughter who writes scripts?"
He had been surprised enough when he knew that Nanzhi knew medical skills, and now he was even more unbelievable.
"Grandpa, to be honest, the movie Wan Rui is filming is an old book that I have been holding on to for a long time. I reluctantly gave up the copyright to it."
"Since you're filming, you have to do it well, and you can't ruin my hard work, don't you think?"
Nanzhi took the old man's wrist and said jokingly: "I still hope that this drama will do well and gain a place in the screenwriting world. Now that you have dealt with Gu Mingxi, where can I find my second female lead?"
"After all, she is top-notch and influential. If something happens now, it will do me no good at all."
Nanzhi came closer and said coquettishly: "You feel sorry for me, right? Xiaozhi, please, let it go this time."
Nanzhi was already very grateful that Mr. Huo vented his anger for her.
She didn't have that much resentment for cutting off Gu Mingxi's life, she just wanted her script to be safe. When everything was over, she and Huo Sijue broke up and had another identity to make ends meet.
Mr. Huo looked ugly and still didn't believe it.
He flipped over the webpage, read it again and again, until he clearly saw the word 'Nanzhi' in the information column, and Mr. Huo gave in.
He looked at Nanzhi with unexpected admiration: "Since it is a script written by the great-grandson-in-law, I support it, old man."
After Mr. Huo's eyes signaled, Butler Huo made a phone call.
The hot search that Huo Sijue had not dealt with for a whole day was solved by his great grandfather with just one sentence.
This is bloodline suppression and family inheritance.
"Now that you're here, let me speak more clearly."
"What Si Jue owes you, our Huo family will pay back, but if you want to lock him up with the grace of saving his life, just dream."
When Mr. Huo is angry, he is full of energy.
"This is the last time. If you let me know that you have other thoughts, even if you break the contract, I will let you get out of Wanrui."
Gu Mingxi knelt on the ground, her eyes red.
She gritted her teeth, clenched her fists tightly, and said in a weak voice: "Thank you, Master, I understand."
After Gu Mingxi left, Mr. Huo's expression turned completely cold.
Huo Sijue knelt where Gu Mingxi had just been, with no expression on his cold and handsome face.
