Su An slowly walked towards the gate of the cemetery.
A year ago, the scene when Lu Ziting sacrificed his life to save her still keeps replaying in his mind.
She never forgot a moment.
Originally, she had no idea where he was finally buried.
But after asking Leng Yun, I easily got the address.
It's a pity that the letter written by her senior and the ring he once gave her were all taken away by the mysterious man along with her personal belongings.
Su An walked in the cemetery, recalling every detail of the two people's past together, and came to one of the tombstones.
The tombstone is very new and well taken care of.
At first glance, you can tell that people come to visit often.
At the top, there is a photo of Lu Ziting wearing a police uniform, with his lips pursed and a little smile.
In the photo, he still looks so gentle, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.
It's a pity that she can never see that gentle smile again.
Su An carefully put down the flower in her hand, stretched out her hand, gently touched the person in the photo, and said softly, "Senior, I'm here to see you."
The surroundings were quiet, and naturally no one responded.
Su An pursed her lips, and the tip of her nose couldn't help but feel a little sore.
But he endured it and continued softly, "I'm sorry, senior, for taking so long to come see you. I... also have my own reasons. Don't be angry with me, okay? I will come often when I have more time."
It’s up to you…”
Her tone was soft and slightly flattering, as if she was really afraid that he would be angry.
The weather was gloomy, just like Su An's mood at the moment.
She sighed and was about to say something more when she suddenly heard a cell phone ringing from the steps not far away!
Su An turned around suddenly, a flash of caution flashing through her eyes.
Then I saw a corner, and it seemed that the owner of the ringtone hadn't come up yet.
The next second——
"Hey, what's going on?"
A woman's voice sounded.
After just saying four simple words, Su An's eyes widened instantly!
This voice...
This voice is... Lu Ziying!
Su An's heart skipped a beat, and her body stiffened instantly.
The first thought that came to mind was - run!
She must not be seen by Lu Ziying!
However, it is too late to leave now.
She didn't want to bump into Lu Ziying.
There are other stairs to go down, on the other side...
Before Su An had time to think, she heard Lu Ziying say something to the person on the other end of the phone, hung up the phone, and hurriedly turned around and walked towards the stairs on the other side.
Almost as soon as he took two steps——
"Um?"
Lu Ziying's confused voice reached her ears.
Then there was the sound of fast footsteps.
She strode to Lu Ziting's tombstone and stared blankly for a few seconds, seemingly confused as to who had placed a bouquet of flowers here.
Su An's feet became faster and faster.
Lu Ziying's eyes were already quickly scanning the surroundings.
Then at a glance, I saw the figure hurriedly leaving in front of me!
That figure actually looked familiar!
The face of a woman suddenly flashed in his mind.
Lu Ziying's eyes became sharp almost instantly, and she ran over without thinking!
"Wait a minute!"
She opened her mouth and called Su An in front of her.
Su An's palms felt cold, but she pretended not to hear and continued walking forward without looking back!
what to do……
Could it be that Lu Ziying also recognized her?
But fortunately, she went out after dressing up today.
Don’t be afraid even if she stops you!
But we must not stop at this time!
Su An thought and continued walking down the stairs.
The next second——
"Su An! Stop pretending to be deaf and dumb here!"
Lu Ziying's voice was already close behind her.
She seemed to be getting angry, and she even sped up again, taking two steps ahead to get in front of Su An.
He also yelled sternly, "How did you promise me in the first place! You promised that you would not come back again, you..."
Before Lu Ziying could finish her words, she froze on the spot.
Looking at the unfamiliar face in front of her, a flash of surprise quickly flashed through her eyes.
This person...isn't Su An?
Did she admit her mistake?
Lu Ziying reacted belatedly, and a look of embarrassment quickly flashed across her face.
Su An looked at the person in front of him, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
After not seeing each other for almost a year, Lu Ziying has changed a lot.
Although her appearance still looks childish, her temperament is no longer that of the little girl who was inexperienced in the world, but she is somewhat calm.
It's like it suddenly grew a lot.
Is it because she lost her doting brother?
Su An felt a little sad, but she didn't dare to stay any longer.
Seeing Lu Ziying looking at her a little embarrassed, he simply said preemptively, "Miss, were you calling me just now?"
"I……"
Lu Ziying was speechless and didn't know what to say. The sharp look on her face was mostly gone, but she was still a little suspicious.
After two seconds of silence, she changed the subject and said, "Sorry, I recognized the wrong person. Did you see who put a bouquet of flowers in front of the tombstone over there?"
"flower?"
Su Shan looked in the direction of her finger with a puzzled expression.
After a pause of two seconds, he gently shook his head.
"Sorry, I came here to visit my family, so I wasn't in a good mood and didn't notice anyone around me."
Her explanation was reasonable and did not reveal any flaws.
Lu Ziying's expression became more and more suspicious.
This staircase is not far from her brother's tombstone. How could she not notice it?
Or is this woman lying on purpose?
and……
Her back is exactly the same as Su An!
And the indifferent tone and attitude when she spoke now couldn't help but remind her of Su An, the murderer who killed her brother!
However, they look completely different.
Could it be that she just had plastic surgery and came back?
A bold idea flashed through Lu Ziying's mind, and she didn't want to leave the person in front of her like this.
"you……"
She opened her mouth, hesitated for a moment, and then continued to ask, "Miss, you look familiar to me. I wonder which relative at home you are here to see? Most of the people who can sleep here are high-status people.
, maybe I know him too, and I can just pay my respects."
Su An didn't expect her to say that, and a flash of panic flashed through her eyes.
She didn't dare to delay any longer, so she hurriedly found an excuse and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I still have some things to do and I don't have time to stay here anymore. I'm sorry."
After saying that, Su An gave Lu Ziying a final smile, then bypassed her and continued walking down the steps.
Lu Ziying did not catch up again, but just stared at her back silently, the coldness in her eyes gathering and dissipating.
This woman... really looks like Su An.
Although it was the first time they met, she felt extremely familiar to others, and it was annoying to her!
Thinking about it, she suddenly took out her mobile phone and quickly dialed a number.
After a few seconds, the call was connected.
Lu Ziying asked directly in a deep voice, "It's me. Is there any news from e country recently?"
A few seconds later——
Lu Ziying hung up the phone with a sullen face and looked hesitantly in the direction Su An had just left.
It’s been a year.
Still no news about Su An.
Maybe it's really her illusion?
…
on Monday.
Finally the day came to officially report.
Su An tidied up early in the morning and went to Gu's report with full energy.
As soon as he got out of the elevator, he saw Tang Ze walking over from a short distance away.
"Assistant Tang."
Su An smiled and said hello.
Tang Ze also smiled slightly, walked directly towards Su An, and said politely, "Assistant Xia, you came so on time, and I just wanted to call you. Since you are here, I will take you to see him first.
Come to your office."
"good."
Su An nodded and followed him.
The two of them walked together towards the corridor where the interview was held that day. When they turned a corner, Su An saw Gu Jingchen's office at the end.
The door to the office is closed, and it seems he hasn't come yet.
Tang Ze also happened to speak at this time, "Mr. Gu hasn't come yet. The work during the probation period won't be too complicated. I'll handle most of the important things. You can get used to it first."
As he spoke, he pushed open the door to the office on one side.
"This is the office I had someone set up for you over the weekend. It's right next door to me. The landline in the office is connected to all departments of the Gu family. If Mr. Gu has anything urgent, he will usually contact our mobile phone directly."
"Okay, I remember."
Su An looked calm and patient, listening to Tang Ze's words quietly.
After a few more instructions, he looked at the time and finally said, "Mr. Gu has a meeting in the morning. I will rush to other places soon. Assistant Xia can relax first in the morning and get familiar with the tea room on this floor.
There is also a staff restaurant downstairs, as well as a dedicated rest area and fitness area. As for work, you can wait until Mr. Gu comes in the afternoon to arrange it."
"good."
Su An agreed.
From the time I was notified of admission until now, I finally have some real feelings.
Things progressed much more smoothly than she imagined.
Can……
Gu Jingchen has never used two assistants at the same time in so many years. After all, she is still in the probation period and does not count as a permanent member...
Su An thought, seeing Tang Ze about to leave, she hurriedly shouted, "Assistant Tang, wait a minute!"
"Hmm? Any more questions?"
As expected, Tangze stopped.
Su An's eyes flickered for a moment, and then she finally pretended to be curious and asked, "Actually... I checked some information about Mr. Gu before I came here. It seems that there is only Assistant Tang beside him, right? I don't know.
Can I successfully pass my probation period..."
She lowered her eyes slightly and frowned, looking very worried about her "future".
When Tang Ze saw this, he actually comforted him, "Don't worry, Assistant Xia. I have been the only one around Mr. Gu for so many years. The reason why he suddenly wants to hire another assistant is actually because..."
He suddenly paused for a moment, and the smile on his face that always showed a formulaic smile suddenly became gentle.
Then he continued, "Actually, it's because my wife was pregnant recently. In order to reduce my pressure and spend more time with her, Mr. Gu wanted to find another assistant to help me share the work.
So Assistant Xia doesn’t have to worry. Although Mr. Gu may seem a bit strict, as long as he has excellent work ability, he will definitely be able to pass the probation period safely. Maybe there will be more trouble for you in the future, and you may have more problems than me.
Work harder..."
"Assistant Tang is already married?"
Su An was really surprised this time.
Tang Ze has been single for so many years with Gu Jingchen, and she knows this.
But I didn't expect that less than a year after leaving, he had already started a family and was even about to welcome his own child...
"That's really congratulations to you."
Su An sincerely sent her blessings.
"Thanks."
Tang Ze smiled and didn't say anything more. He just gave Su An a few more words before leaving.
After hearing him walk away, Su An closed the office door and breathed a sigh of relief.
I thought I would run into Gu Jingchen directly when I came today.
But she didn't expect that she would still have a whole morning to relax.
She was very familiar with the internal structure of the Gu family, and there was nothing special she wanted to visit.
Thinking about it, Su An sat back behind her desk, and couldn't help but think of the little guy she had only met once.
She has been back for a while, I wonder...how is he doing?
Will that unknown man really continue to treat him?
Su An pursed her lips, thought for a moment, then took out her phone and sent a message to Leng Yun.
[I have successfully joined the Gu family, can you let me see the video of my child? Or the photo is fine. 】
It only took a few seconds for the message to be sent, and the other party responded quickly.
But it wasn't the answer Su An wanted.
【Do what you should do, and you will be able to see him again.】
Leng Yun's answer was as concise as ever. Although it was only a short line, Su An seemed to have seen his cold eyes through the screen.
She put the phone aside and did not reply any further.
But my mind was filled with the first sentence in his message just now.
Do what you have to do.
yes.
The only thing she should do now is to gain Gu Jingchen's trust and then find a way to climb into his bed...
Afternoon——
Su An went to the staff cafeteria alone to have lunch.
Back in the office, Tang Ze's office and Gu Jingchen's office next door were still quiet.
It seems that the two of them have not returned yet.
Guessing that she might not see Gu Jingchen on the first day of work, Su An felt slightly relaxed and a little regretful.
For her now, every second is very precious.
She can't afford to delay.
But this kind of thing is the most urgent thing.
How should she get close to Gu Jingchen, how should she gain Gu Jingchen's trust? If she wanted to do something and was discovered by him, would she get a second chance?
If she loses her job because of this, how will she find a way to get close to him again?
These are all problems that she doesn't know how to solve.
But the steps have already been taken.
Su An sat quietly in her seat, staring at a point in the air, lost in thought.
Just then——
She suddenly heard footsteps approaching from far away, walking in this direction!
Su An suddenly came back to her senses and hurriedly sat down in her seat.
The next second——
The office door was suddenly pushed open.
She stood up hurriedly and looked at the door, with a perfect smile on her face, and her heart suddenly lifted.
