Her parents were both simple commoners, and if they didn't show off, they wouldn't get into trouble either. This kind of thing would definitely make the two elders worry for her.
Dad, Mom, the newspapers are full of rumors. They're all just blah." Gu Sisi hurriedly denied it.
"I'll go buy some food. The neighbors in the neighborhood said that you went to the newspapers. Otherwise, your dad and I wouldn't have known about it."
Gu Sisi clenched her teeth and came up with a satisfactory reason.
"Actually, it's like this. My company has been acquired by Huo Cheng, and he is now my boss. The media have made the normal work contact even more interesting."
"Really?" The two of them were still suspicious.
"Really!" Gu Sisi said coquettishly, "Dad, mom, for such a small matter, did you guys purposely starve your precious daughter's stomach? I'm starving to death. "
The two of them had their doubts and could only temporarily believe their daughter's words.
After all, their daughter had become Huo Cheng's fiancee. This sort of fantasy was too unbelievable, and they also felt that it was impossible.
During dinner, the two elders brought up another topic, "Sisi, you're not young anymore. Your neighbor Aunt Qiong introduced you to one of them. Since you're home, you should go meet her."
"Hmm?" Gu Sisi took a bite of the dish and was stunned.
"Dad, mom, I'm still young, so I want to stay with you guys for a few more years. Let's talk about this later."
When she thought about how she had signed the indenture contract, she subconsciously refused. She didn't want Huo Cheng to break her legs.
"Let's go meet them. Even if they're not suitable, it's not bad to have many friends." Papa Gu had always avoided interfering with his daughter's private affairs, but now he spoke as well.
"But I don't want to." She was bashful, and only in front of her parents could she act this coquettishly.
"No!" I have to go this time! " Mother Gu suddenly became stern. She slammed the bowl down on the table, stood up, and returned to her room.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and Gu Sisi also lost her appetite. She didn't know why her mother would be so angry.
"Dad, Mom, why are you …"
"Sigh, your mom and I are getting on in age and our health hasn't been too good recently. For example, we can rest assured that we'll let you get married first. You have to understand your mom a bit."
"Alright, I'll go."
She didn't dare to tell her parents about the hidden agreement, so she could only follow their wishes. In any case, as long as she didn't agree, she wouldn't break the agreement with Huo Cheng.
The next day, Gu Sisi met the person introduced by Aunt Qiong as scheduled. Her face was downcast and her brows were tightly knitted.
His mind isn't working well recently. He just wrote it down yesterday, and after a night of sleep, he forgot his age and occupation.
"Hello, my name is Gu Sisi. I work for a media company."
The man in front wore a neat business suit with eyes, giving off an elite feeling, "Hello, I'm Jiang Li Hao, a surgeon."
Jiang Li Hao took a knife and fork, cut off a piece of beef from his plate and put it into his mouth. He then took a sip of red wine. It gave a very elegant feeling.
Hearing the words' surgeon ', a bloody operating table and a shining scalpel appeared in front of Gu Sisi for no reason.
She shivered, not knowing what had happened to her. That scene suddenly appeared in her mind.
"So it's the white-robed Angel who saved the dying and helped the wounded?" she said.
"Yes, saving the dying and helping the wounded. The lives of the patients are still on our fingertips. All we have to do is save them."
As she listened to him speak, the image of the doctor holding the scalpel appeared in Gu Sisi's mind once again. Then, it gradually overlapped with the image of the person in front of her.
She shook her head. The chaotic images rushed out of her mind, making her feel as if something was jumping in her head, but she couldn't grasp it.
"It must be hard to be a doctor!" Gu Sisi couldn't help but sigh.
"It's okay, it's my choice. I also like this job." The other laughed. "Everyone has to believe or not?"
Gu Sisi felt a kind of admiration for him. Although he was only a few years older than her, he was much more mature and confident than her.
"Miss Gu, I'm a bit familiar with you, like I've seen you somewhere before."
Gu Sisi's heart trembled. She instantly understood and felt a little sorry for him. "You didn't remember wrongly. I was on the front page of the news not long ago."
"No wonder it looks familiar, you're someone else's fiancee?" Jiang Li Hao continued to ask.
"I'm sorry, I was forced by my family to come out for a blind date, I really didn't want to waste your time." Gu Sisi apologised very awkwardly.
"It doesn't matter, it's the same for me."
"Huh?" Gu Sisi was startled. "You were also forced by your family?"
After saying this, she relaxed a lot. No one was rushing to get married, so there was no pressure.
"What kind of person is your fiancé?" Jiang Li Hao was suddenly curious.
Huo Cheng?
Gu Sisi had never thought of using any words to evaluate Huo Cheng. She thought for a moment. "A very powerful and very outstanding person."
"No flaws?" Jiang Li Hao interrupted.
"Flaws …" Gu Sisi pondered for a long time before she finally thought of something. With a darkened face, she said, "Cunning."
She couldn't forget that man's unreasonable words and how he cheated her with a contract.
Hearing this, Jiang Li Hao laughed out loud. After laughing, he looked at her and said very seriously, "That's right, he is a cunning person!"
"What?" Jiang Li Hao knew Huo Cheng?
Thinking of how he was a surgeon, could it be that Huo Cheng had circumcised the foreskin in his hospital?
