"Mr. Yang, I'm watching Miss Gu twenty-four hours a day. If Qin Tianyi had come to see her, I would know." Wendy said with confidence.
When she started her company in Lancheng, she had stayed there for several years and knew of Qin Tianyi. It was impossible for her not to have noticed Gu Susu interacting with Qin Tianyi.
Actually, she had known Yang Sijie since she was studying in New York. At that time, she was studying and working part-time.
During the most difficult period, she worked as a cleaner in a mixed-crowd bar at night. Once, she was targeted by a drunk foreigner and was almost in trouble. Fortunately, Yang Sijie stepped in to help her.
At that time, Yang Sijie was the owner of that bar and had a group of people who obeyed him.
Seeing that she was an international student from China, Yang Sijie took good care of her, and she was very grateful.
Later, she discovered that the place, under the guise of a bar, was involved in all sorts of shady dealings, and Yang Sijie tacitly approved of them.
She had also heard from others in the bar that Yang Sijie had made his fortune through underground fighting and was ruthless in his dealings, and his subordinates were all afraid of him.
At that time, due to debt, she had no choice but to seek Yang Sijie's help and became his subordinate, helping him handle legitimate business matters.
Later, when Yang Sijie inherited his adoptive parents' group, she continued to work under him, managing the legitimate businesses.
But one day, he suddenly asked her to open a clothing company in Lancheng, and it didn't need to be profitable, just famous in Lancheng's fashion industry.
At that time, she didn't understand why Yang Sijie wanted her to do this, but she knew she had to follow his instructions.
So, she founded Saiou Company in Lancheng. She was not good at the fashion industry, and Saiou Company had been operating precariously.
Yang Sijie didn't care about Saiou's operating situation, he just wanted to learn about things in Lancheng through her.
It wasn't until Gu Susu appeared that she understood why Yang Sijie had her manage Saiou Company. It turned out it was all for a woman he admired.
This was something she never expected, but through this, she learned how much Yang Sijie valued this woman named Gu Susu.
As for the trivial tricks he had her play on Gu Susu, and later trying to use Saiou to attack Mishi Company, it was unsuccessful.
Yang Sijie was very disappointed in her for this, and she was asked to close Saiou Company. After returning to New York, she was given menial tasks and was no longer highly regarded.
Unexpectedly, this time he sent her to Paris to monitor Gu Susu. Perhaps this was an opportunity for her to be re-employed by him.
But if there were any mistakes, Yang Sijie would probably punish her more severely.
So, since arriving here, she had been living in constant fear, afraid of not being able to keep an eye on Gu Susu.
Besides Mark, she knew how many terrible things Yang Sijie had done to reach his current position.
On the other end of the phone, Yang Sijie paused before saying, "That's good. Tell Miss Gu to stop rushing her designs. Tell her I've arrived and am waiting for her at home."
"Okay."
After Wendy finished talking with Yang Sijie, she could no longer sit in the reception area. Ignoring the obstruction of the receptionist, she rushed into the work area and said to Gu Susu, "Miss Gu, it's time to go back. Mr. Yang has just landed and is waiting for you at his residence."
Gu Susu's heart skipped a beat. She hadn't expected Yang Sijie to come to Paris today, just after she had seen Huo Jin.
According to Huo Jin's method, even getting a fake identity would take time. How could she stall Yang Sijie now so that he wouldn't notice anything unusual?
She was being watched by Wendy, yet he came over so suddenly. Could it be that he had discovered something? The situation was not good.
She didn't show any emotion on her face and said calmly, "Okay, I'll pack my things right away. You wait outside for a little longer."
Saying this, she put down the design she was working on. Seeing that she was quite sensible, Wendy retreated back to the reception area.
After Gu Susu finished packing, she quickly sent a message to Huo Jin, informing him that Yang Sijie had come to Paris.
After sending the message, she deleted it and took a deep breath before getting up and leaving the studio.
...
Yang Sijie sat on the sofa, playing with a diamond ring in his hand, and smiled sarcastically. He muttered to himself, "My Susu, the Susu I've made into a blank slate, is now hiding things from me too."
At this moment, Gu Susu and Wendy returned. He didn't, as he used to, step forward to meet Susu and give her a hug.
Gu Susu smiled at him as if nothing had happened, "Sijie, why did you come without telling me beforehand? What are you holding? It's so dazzling."
Wendy wisely put down the bag she was carrying for Gu Susu and quietly returned to her room.
Yang Sijie also smiled and showed her the diamond ring in his hand, saying, "Come to my side."
Gu Susu pretended to be as she was before, sat down beside him, affectionately linked his arm, and leaned her head on his shoulder.
"Are you proposing to me?"
Yang Sijie grabbed her left hand, put the dazzling and large diamond ring on her ring finger, raised her hand, and looked at it repeatedly, saying, "It suits your hand very well. Do you like it?"
Gu Susu was also admiring the diamond ring, and said with a sweet face, "I like it. What's wrong? Didn't we agree to get married after I finish this year's courses?"
"As long as you like it," Yang Sijie kissed the back of her hand and said, "I don't want to wait anymore. I'll take you back to New York to get married in a couple of days."
Gu Susu was shocked. What should she do?
She only wanted to return to Lancheng, not go to New York, and certainly not marry him.
"Sijie, it's too sudden. But I still have classes to attend, and the designs for the teacher are not finished. I need to take leave, and at least I have to finish the designs I'm currently working on." Gu Susu appeared flustered.
Yang Sijie's usually gentle eyes showed a cold glint as he asked, "In your heart, am I more important, or are your courses and designs more important?"
Gu Susu felt panicked and said with a wronged expression, "Sijie, what's wrong with you? Your expression is frightening. Did something happen?"
"Nothing," Yang Sijie regained his gentle expression and said, "I just really want to marry you."
He still didn't know what Qin Tianyi had said to Susu when he saw her, or what impact it had on Susu.
Judging by the current situation, Susu hadn't recovered her memory and probably still didn't remember who Qin Tianyi was. If he specifically brought this up, it might be counterproductive and cause Susu to remember something.
Gu Susu breathed a sigh of relief, leaned on him coquettishly, and said, "Okay, okay, I know. I want to be with you forever too. Then wait until I finish the teacher's designs, okay, okay?"
As she spoke, she tugged at his arm and shook it incessantly, acting like she was wronged and begging him.
Yang Sijie sighed, unable to be angry with her anymore. He pinched her nose and said helplessly, "Alright. Then how long will it take you to finish the current project?"
Gu Susu smiled happily, rubbed her face against his arm, and after thinking for a moment, said, "Hmm... at least another week."
