Chapter 138: Woman, Be Ready for The Consequences If This Doesn’t Taste Good (3)

“The boss, Mr. Huo… is still inside the study?”

Now Gu Shishi was truly curious.

The boss was still awake and fantasizing about all sorts of things on his own and thought about how great she was?

She would never have guessed that he was that kind of a boss!

Siyi nodded but did not elaborate.

But Gu Shishi quickly felt the vibration from her cellphone.

[My Lifeline Boss: If your cooking is bad and I can’t eat what you’ve cooked, you better be ready for the consequences.]

Gu Shishi: “……”

How could the boss sound so righteous after reading her secret manual behind her back?

Over at the Li’s.

It was the middle of the night, but all the lights were on inside their house.

Third Young Mistress Li just came home from partying with her girlfriends and noticed that something wasn’t right at home.

“Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle. Why are you all here?”

Li Yiru has a little pang of guilt all of a sudden.

Normally, everybody was already asleep when she came home at this hour. Nobody really knew what time she got home.

But it was almost 1 AM today, and they were all sitting inside the living room.

“Xiao Ru, what’s the matter? Why are you home so late? Didn’t I text you to come early today?” Li Chengzheng did not look happy at all.

“It’s fine, Second Brother, as long as Xiao Ru is now back.” Li Chengxing, next to him, chimed in immediately. Yet the way he was looking at Li Yiru was not kind like it usually was.

Li Yiru bit her lip and said, “I was with an important friend today….”

“Friend? What friend? What kind of awful friends have you been hanging out with? Are your friends more important than your family?” Li Chengzheng slammed hard onto the table.

Li Yiru pouted and said, “Dad, you didn’t mention that there was anything wrong in your message.”

Li Chengzheng’s old face twitched a little. He wanted to unleash on her but was stopped by Grandpa Li.

“Xiao Ru, tell grandpa. Have you caused any troubles outside lately?” There were a lot of folds on his face, but his eyes were bright.

“No, I did. Why do you ask, grandpa?” said Li Yiru as she shook her head.

Grandpa Li did not answer but asked again, “Then, did you have any conflicts with anyone?”

There was a second of hesitation that crossed Li Yiru’s little face.

She hung out with her friends day in and day out. Going to work was just an experience for her; her boss needed to be respectful around her.

Who’d she has conflicts with, except….

Her conflict with Gu Shishi a few days ago, at the birthday banquet of the Chen’s.

But that wasn’t even a conflict. That was just the group of them banding together to teach that evil, peasant girl a lesson!

“No, grandpa.” Li Yiru blinked and answered her grandfather.

Everybody here right now was elite in the business world. Her slight hesitation did not escape them.

Li Chengzheng was so angry that his hands were shaking. “And you still won’t tell the truth?” He slammed his cellphone hard on top of the table.

“Xiao Ru, your grandpa and uncle are all here. Why don’t you tell us the truth?” Mother Li eagerly tried to hint at her. She pointed at a bottle of red wine under the table and asked, “Anything happened in the last couple of days that might have something to do with this bottle of wine?”

Li Yiru, who was still startled by her father’s loud voice, was just about to deny.

But when she looked over at where her mother was pointing, she shuddered.

Wine…

She spilled wine on Gu Shishi!

“Mom, what happened? Where did this wine come from?”

Li Yiru’s heart sank.
