Chapter 219 – Whatever happened to teaching Gu Shishi a lesson? (1)

“What are you doing, Darling? Guess what? Gu Shishi translated Daqian’s documentary. The shop manager even praised her and said she’d give her a raise. Hrm! Who even knows if she didn’t just make the whole thing up!”

Zhao Xian’s call followed shortly.

“Didn’t you say last time that you are going to teach Gu Shishi a lesson? Have you given up on that already?”

THUMP! Luo Zheng slammed his fist on his table.

“SHUT UP!”

Zhao Xian gasped.

And Luo Zheng had already hung up on her.

His hands were shaking. He didn’t care about how Zhao Xian was feeling right now.

[You really are Gu Shishi?]

[Who did you learn painting from? And how old are you?]

[Didn’t you graduate from some polytechnic? Aren’t your adopted parents just normal workers?]

[Are you really the Ink Painting Guru?!]

He sent her one message after another.

But received nothing back.

Finally he texted Chen Kexin, whom responded to him.

[Yeah... what else do you think?]

What else did he think?

Luo Zheng smiled bitterly.

She was right.

Who else could randomly draw some red plum blossoms and conquered all the rich, delicate girls right away?

For sure not just any normal regular person.

These girls were raised around arts.

An awkward look crossed Luo Zheng’s face.

And he had been asking to buy her paintings for a handsome amount. How laughable was that?

And he was even infatuated with Gu Wushuang not too long ago.

He had thought that she was that little, white flower among all of the girls. Fragile but genuine. Talented and adorable.

He only became a player because he couldn’t have her.

And now... comparing to the pretty, talented, and bold Gu Shishi, what’s Gu Wushuang, the girl who could do nothing but cry?

Luo Zheng continued to smile bitterly.

***

Things had been calm in the next few days.

But some people felt some obvious changes.

It had only been a few days since “The Anti-Shi” was turned into “We are all good sisters” and the group had become very quiet.

It was no longer active like it once was.

Luo Pingting has remained silent.

Chen Kexin and Li Yiru didn’t want to say anything in the group and Gu Wushuang had lost those who had normally fawned over her.

Every time when Gu Wushuang would say something like, “What nice weather. I’m so appreciative of it.”

And she’d get a bunch of “Hoho”. They were either sarcastic or there was an awkward silence from those who didn’t want to comment.

Over time, however, a lot of small chat groups became active.

Just like when you have a college dormitory with four girls, after all sorts of mixing and matching, there could very well be over ten chat groups.

And that’s how the rich girls were right now.

The main group had gone belly up, but the small groups had come to live.

[Zhou Mi: I heard from my dad that the Luo’s has run into some sort of trouble. Anyone know anything about it?]

[Melody: I’ve heard something like that as well. It has to do with some internal issues, I think. They were being boycotted by a few of their big clients.]

[Yaya: My dad have me stay away from the Luo’s recently.]

[2333: They were being reported for tax evasion. Just you wait!]

[Melody: Eh? Tax evasion? That’s a big deal! Are they going to go belly up? I was gonna ask whether it was the curse of Boss Huo again. Perhaps it was a curse because Luo Pingting invited Gu Shishi to her party.]

[Zhou Yi: .... The Chen’s invited Gu Shishi to their birthday party too and they just received a big international order. What do you have to say about that?]

[Yaya: That’s true. MiMi even had Gu Shishi drew on her back and she won a raffle drawing the next day. So LUCKY!]

[2333: The Luo’s were just very unfortunately. Who can they blame for tax evasion? Does it even make sense trying to pin that on Big Brother Huo?]

And the news spread quickly.

Nine of the ten small groups were talking about it.

And it sounded so real!

So much that even Zhou Mi, who hadn’t been wanting to chat in the groups as of late, and Li Yiru, who was busying trying to earn her rent, couldn’t avoid seeing the news.

There was no avoiding it as soon as she turned on her WeChat.

Li Yiru felt distressed about it.

She was going to ignore it, but the rumors about the Luo’s snowballed.
