A Girl and Her Best Friends Time Travel to Ancient Times

"I... I... I know..." The housekeeper stammered.

Gu Zhi released his neck, and his eyes returned to normal. He reached out and tidied the housekeeper's messy clothes, smiled at him, "Uncle Li, I have to go out to do a summer job. If my dad asks, you know what to say, right?"

"I know, I know..."

Gu Zhi took back the smile on his face and walked out.

...

In the evening, when Sang Li returned home, she thought about it and still asked Su Mo about the orphanage where Gu Zhi and the others used to stay.

Taking advantage of the weekend, Sang Li specially went to the orphanage to see who adopted Gu Zhi.

But the people at the welfare institute told her that the information of the adoptive person was confidential, so they couldn't tell her.

Although she didn't find specific information, Sang Li heard from a cleaning aunt that Gu Zhi was adopted by a woman.

On her way back by car, Sang Li passed a dessert and beverage shop called [First Sight]. She subconsciously stopped.

Since getting pregnant, she seems to especially like eating sweets. After parking the car, she walked into the dessert shop.

The shop was decorated very romantically. Sang Li chose a window seat and scanned the code to order a dessert and a drink.

She looked up at the tall office buildings across, and the words [Ion Group] caught her eyes. Those few office buildings were almost all Ion Group, which has now become the most well-known e-commerce group in China. 𝘧𝓇𝘦𝘦𝔀ℯ𝘣𝓃𝓸𝓿ℯ𝘭.𝑐𝓸𝓂

Sang Li couldn't help but think of a few years ago when Ion Group was still financing, she was very optimistic about it, but except for her, other people in the company were very opposed to investing in Ion Group.

Because Gu Group has almost monopolized the e-commerce industry in China, it’s really difficult to start a company.

Unexpectedly, in just three or four years, Ion Group successfully went public, causing a sensation for a while.

The latecomer was able to bring the company to this point, which was really amazing, and even squeezed Gu Group out of the top spot, with such fast iteration and update.

And according to rumors, the real boss behind Ion Group is still a very young guy, but his information has always been kept secret to the outside world.

"I don't know what kind of person he is to have such a mind and courage." Sang Li marveled.

Although she is now a senior executive of Red Ridge Investment, she is just a highly paid employee. She admires those who start their own business.

"Miss, your dessert and drink."

At this moment, the dessert and drink were brought up by the waiter. Sang Li came back to her senses.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, enjoy your meal."

Sang Li took a sip of the drink, and subconsciously stopped.

This taste... how is it so familiar?

An image of Gu Zhi appeared in Sang Li's mind.

"Sister, I learned how to make this drink today, do you want to try it?"

Sang Li rubbed her temples and glanced down at the drink. This dessert shop was far from both her company and home. She had never been here before. If it wasn't for passing by here on the way to the orphanage today, she wouldn't have come in either.

Besides, in order to take care of herself, she had always abstained from sugar. If it wasn't for her pregnancy, she might never set foot in a dessert shop.

But now, a drink here reminds her of Gu Zhi.

Maybe it's because she misses him too much.

Ah Zhi, if you are in this world, where would you be?

At this moment, two girls dressed youthfully and beautifully in super short skirts and cropped tops walked into the shop.

The two did not sit down, but went straight past the lobby to the counter inside.

There were two or three young men making drinks and desserts inside the counter, all wearing logo printed black T-shirts and black masks.

One of the girls looked them up and down arrogantly and asked, "Which one of you is Gu Zhi?"

The other two men subconsciously looked at Gu Zhi.

That's right, it's him.

The girl pointed at Gu Zhi sarcastically, "Gu Zhi, I didn't expect you to really work in this dessert shop for summer vacation. Aren't you ashamed?"

Gu Zhi didn't even glance at her. "Scan the code to order if you want to eat something. If not, please leave."

"Good! Then I want you to make it for me. If it doesn't taste good, I'll file a complaint against you!" The girl pulled her friend to sit at the table next to the counter.

"Xiaoxue, is he really your brother?" The other girl asked in a low voice.

"Humph! He's just a bastard, how dare he call himself my brother Gu Xiaoxue's brother?" Gu Xiaoxue snorted.

The girl glanced at the counter and said with a smile, "But he looks quite handsome!"

"What's the use of being handsome? Such a shabby look! He's really disgracing our Gu family!" Gu Xiaoxue rolled her eyes.

"Why do you hate him so much?"

"If your dad had a child with another woman out there and brought that child back to live with us, and compete with you for the property in the future, wouldn't you hate him?" Gu Xiaoxue retorted.

"Well... yes that would be quite annoying."

As they were talking, the waiter brought the desserts and drinks.

After taking a bite, the other girl said in surprise, "Wow, the desserts in this shop are really delicious and sweet but not greasy."

Gu Xiaoxue pursed her lips, deliberately threw down her spoon, "It tastes terrible!"

Then she deliberately pulled out a strand of hair and put it on the dessert.

This scene happened to be seen by Sang Li. Although Sang Li was too far away to hear what they were saying, she caught sight of Gu Xiaoxue pulling her hair.

Holding the dessert, Gu Xiaoxue walked to the counter and said, "Gu Zhi, I want to file a complaint against you. Your dessert not only tastes bad but is also unclean. Is your boss blind? How could he hire someone like you?"

Everyone looked at the dessert and found a strand of hair on it.

"Call your boss out. I want to complain to him!" Gu Xiaoxue said to a waiter.

The waiter looked at Gu Zhi subconsciously.

This is... filing a complaint against the boss with the boss?

"Um, sorry Miss, our boss is not here. Shall we make you a new one?" The waiter said with an apologetic smile.

"Make a new one? Who knows if you'll spit in it? How can such an unclean store stay open?!"

"......"

"If you don't fire him today, I'll have to call the supervision bureau!"

"Check the surveillance video." Gu Zhi suddenly said.

"Go ahead and check! Who's afraid of you?" Gu Xiaoxue was not afraid at all.

She had just looked. The camera was aimed at her and her friend sitting opposite happened to block the view of her hand, so the action of her putting hair was not captured at all.

Sure enough, the surveillance video didn't capture Gu Xiaoxue putting the hair.

"Humph! Give me your boss's number. Fire him and I won't fuss about it. If not, I can only call the supervision bureau!"

Everyone could see that this person deliberately targeted Gu Zhi.

But Gu Zhi was their boss! Everyone looked at Gu Zhi subconsciously.

Gu Zhi was about to speak when Sang Li walked out from the other window and went straight to Gu Xiaoxue.

Gu Zhi stopped abruptly, staring fixedly at Sang Li without moving his eyes away from her.

"Little girl, it's not good to do such immoral things when you're dressed so youthfully and beautifully, is it?" Sang Li said.

Gu Xiaoxue glanced at Sang Li, very unfriendly, "Who are you?"

Sang Li didn't want to waste words. She took out her phone directly and showed Gu Xiaoxue the video she captured of her putting the hair.

"I recorded it. Making more trouble will only embarrass yourself." Sang Li said softly.

"You..." Gu Xiaoxue subconsciously tried to snatch her phone. Sang Li retracted her hand and Gu Xiaoxue grabbed nothing.

"Old lady, stop meddling in other people's business!" Gu Xiaoxue angrily dragged her friend away.

As they passed by Sang Li, she deliberately bumped into Sang Li, causing her to lose balance and fall to the ground.

"Oh my, lady, I'm so sorry, it was an accident!" Gu Xiaoxue said sarcastically.

Seeing this, Gu Zhi immediately leapt over the counter and went to check on Sang Li.

Sang Li frowned in pain, instinctively clutching her stomach, her face instantly turning pale.

"Sister!"

Sang Li anxiously grabbed Gu Zhi, still unaware of the intimacy behind Gu Zhi's cry of "Sister".

Clutching her stomach, she said weakly, "Hurry...take me to the hospital..."

Seeing Sang Li's state, Gu Xiaoxue was at a loss, "Are you...faking it?"

Gu Zhi immediately picked Sang Li up, saying heavily, "Gu Xiaoxue, you wait for me!"

After speaking, Gu Zhi immediately left the dessert shop with Sang Li.

Only after Gu Zhi took Sang Li away did people notice there was blood where Sang Li had fallen.

Seeing the blood on the ground, even Gu Xiaoxue was given a fright, and she immediately chased after them. Although she disliked Gu Zhi, she didn't want to cause trouble.
