Sister

Seeing that Mo Rao didn’t care, Gu Ci smiled.

He wanted more people to see him with Mo Rao and hoped that everyone would think that he was more compatible with Mo Rao.

His jealousy and possessiveness were secretly acting up. Not only did he want rumors of them being together to arise, but he also wanted the two of them to date for real.

The two of them went to the restaurant near Jiayi. The hungry Mo Rao ordered many dishes she wanted to eat while Gu Ci smiled at her.

“Oh, right, I almost forgot. Are you willing to be interviewed?” Mo Rao suddenly remembered something important and asked, “I looked at your past information and realized that you rarely have interviews. I want to arrange an interview for you when we release the new product this time.”

Gu Ci agreed without hesitation. “Okay, as long as it’s your request, I can do it.”

These ambiguous words made Mo Rao feel a little embarrassed. She quickly said, “I-I just think that if you can be interviewed when the new product is released, it will definitely make more people want to buy this magazine.”

“Of course. No matter what you ask, I’ll answer.” Mo Rao needed help, and Gu Ci agreed without hesitation.

“That’s good.” Mo Rao was relieved. Previously, she was worried that Gu Ci didn’t like being interviewed.

The two of them ate as they chatted. Mo Rao was very curious about Gu Ci’s identity and couldn’t help but ask, “I’m very curious. How did you embark on the path of design? I remember that your family has a business, right? Didn’t they nurture you as their successor?”

Hearing Mo Rao’s question, Gu Ci’s hand that was holding his chopsticks froze.

“I got into design because of my sister,” Gu Ci replied. “She likes jewelry and was interested in jewelry design in the past.”

“You have a sister?” Mo Rao had never heard Gu Ci mention her, so she was a little surprised.

Gu Ci’s eyes revealed a hint of sadness. “Yes, I had a sister. My sister passed away a few years ago, when she jumped off a building to commit suicide.”

Mo Rao was stunned and quickly said, “I’m sorry…”

“It’s okay. It’s been a long time.” Gu Ci shrugged. “My sister was a very good person. It’s just that… she met a bad person.”

Hearing this, Mo Rao understood the reason for his sister’s suicide.

She couldn’t help but think of her past self. Did Gu Ci approach her and treat her so well because he thought of his sister?

She had met a bad person.

Mo Rao had also met a bad person, although the person who had once mistreated her was now obedient to her and looked at her with affection.

However, life was like this sometimes. If one met a specific person at a specific time and did a specific thing at a specific time, if they didn’t obtain reciprocation at that time, this so-called love would no longer exist.

“Let’s not talk about this anymore.” Gu Ci changed the topic. “If you need my help in the company, I’ll be at your service at any time. It’s not easy to manage the company. If it weren’t for the family business, I would want to be a jewelry designer without any other worries.”

Mo Rao saw Gu Ci’s helplessness and comforted him, “Maybe there will be a chance in the future.”

“I hope so.” Gu Ci smiled.

But this smile was more like one of despair.

Mo Rao rarely saw such an expression on Gu Ci’s face. In her opinion, Gu Ci always looked so calm and nonchalant.

At this moment, a figure not far away attracted Mo Rao’s attention.

Soon, the figure saw Mo Rao.

Gu Ci noticed Mo Rao’s distraction and followed her gaze to look. It was Fu Ying.

Shen Jia, Shen Ke, and Old Madam Fu were beside him.

Shen Jia also saw Mo Rao. She deliberately held Old Madam Fu’s hand as she said something to her.

Clearly not wanting Mo Rao to misunderstand, Fu Ying distanced himself from Shen Jia.

“The Fu family and the Shen family are indeed on good terms.” Gu Ci couldn’t help but say, “I heard that the two families are going to establish a marriage alliance.”

Mo Rao came back to her senses and said nonchalantly, “Yes, I heard that too, but this has nothing to do with me.”

Although she said that, Mo Rao still had a strange feeling when she saw Shen Jia and Old Madam Fu being so intimate.
