The Female Lead Keeps Breaking Her Own Persona - Chapter 8

The next day, after Qu Anruo arrived at the company, she realized that the usually sparsely populated office was strangely noisy. She walked into the crowd wanting to see what was going on, but the moment the group of people saw her, they immediately scattered as if they had seen a ghost.

Qu Anruo touched her face in confusion. There shouldn’t be anything on her face, right?

Secretary Zhang emerged from the elevator, saw Qu Anruo, and came over to her side.

“President Qu, that young master of the Su family sent flowers to the company.” From Secretary Zhang’s appearance, it was clear that the flowers had already been delivered, otherwise, there wouldn’t have been so many people just now.

Qu Anruo picked up the several bouquets on the front desk and tossed them to her bodyguards, telling them to dispose of them.

[Little Kiddo]: Sister, Sister, I helped you reject the flowers that person sent you. You won’t blame me, right?

666 looked at Qu Anruo with satisfaction. A teachable student indeed. It only taught her once, and Qu Anruo had already learned.

Gu Jingyun saw Qu Anruo’s message.

[Sister]: Thank you, Anruo, for helping me reject them.

Gu Jingyun smiled, put away her phone, and went to work.

Qu Anruo looked coldly at a car parked outside the company. She made a phone call, and after a few people appeared, the car vanished. After seeing Gu Jingyun, she immediately reverted to her usual demeanor.

“Sister!” Qu Anruo came to Gu Jingyun’s side and hugged her arm.

Good heavens, its host has a split personality. 666 looked at Qu Anruo, trembling.

“Thank you, Anruo, for what happened just now.” Qu Anruo had saved her from unnecessary trouble. Gu Jingyun gently stroked Qu Anruo’s pleasantly soft hair.

“You don’t need to thank me, Sister.” Qu Anruo smiled foolishly, completely delighted. 666 watched this scene, dumbfounded.

After Qu Anruo and Gu Jingyun entered the company, Qu Anruo silently kept her distance from Gu Jingyun. She had heard rumors circulating these past few days that Gu Jingyun was being kept by her, and she was afraid that if Gu Jingyun heard these words, she would ignore her.

Gu Jingyun sensed the change in Qu Anruo’s mood and asked worriedly, “What’s wrong, Anruo?”

“Nothing.” Qu Anruo shook her head and returned to her previous demeanor. Seeing this, Gu Jingyun didn’t say anything more.

The two returned to Qu Anruo’s office. Qu Anruo immediately flopped onto the sofa. “Sister, are you going to accept any acting roles recently?” she asked, stretching lazily.

Gu Jingyun gently brushed a stray strand of hair from Qu Anruo’s face: “Not for now.” She felt she hadn’t fully emerged from her last role yet. To avoid affecting the normal progression of the next character, it was better not to accept any roles for the time being.

“Alright.” After hearing the reply, Qu Anruo reached into the drawer and took out the cookies that Fang Yumeng had brought her.

Actually, she quite liked sweet things, but before transmigrating into the book, all her diet and daily life were managed by the family butler, making it very difficult to eat anything sweet.

While the two were leisurely eating cookies, Secretary Zhang informed Qu Hanwen about Su Haodang harassing the two of them.

Qu Hanwen looked at Secretary Zhang in front of him, stood up in anger, and slammed his hand on the desk, shouting, “That’s outrageous!” Secretary Zhang was very close to Qu Hanwen and could clearly feel the oppressive presence of an Alpha. But soon, this oppressive feeling disappeared.

“Take me to Ruoruo’s company later.” Qu Hanwen finished speaking, asked Secretary Zhang to leave, and put on his outdoor clothes.

He straightened his tie and went out, with Secretary Zhang respectfully following behind him.

The two went to Qu Anruo’s company. Along the way, neither the employees nor the artists dared to make a sound as Qu Hanwen walked past.

Qu Hanwen arrived at the office door, knocked, and said, “Ruoruo?”

When Qu Anruo heard Qu Hanwen’s voice, she thought she was hallucinating, but after Qu Hanwen called out again, Qu Anruo abruptly got up from the sofa, tidying her clothes that had become wrinkled from lying down.

Just as she was about to open the door, Gu Jingyun stopped her and combed her hair. Only after confirming that she looked presentable did she confidently open the door.

While waiting outside, Qu Hanwen knew that Qu Anruo must have just gotten up from the sofa and was tidying her clothes. Afraid that Qu Anruo might catch a cold lying on the sofa, he told Secretary Zhang to buy a few blankets and put them in the office closet.

As Qu Anruo opened the door, Qu Hanwen immediately saw Gu Jingyun. This Alpha was alone with his precious daughter again! Qu Hanwen ground his teeth in resentment.

He suddenly remembered that he had come to see Qu Anruo for a serious matter. He sat down on the sofa opposite Gu Jingyun, and Secretary Zhang stood behind him.

“Ruoruo, you will come with me to the Su family later.” Qu Hanwen said, then went downstairs and returned to his car.

Gu Jingyun smelled the scent of an Alpha’s pheromones. Feeling a little uncomfortable, she excused herself, saying she had something to do, and went home.

Qu Anruo was utterly bewildered. She sat in Qu Hanwen’s car downstairs. “Dad, why are we going to the Su family?” Thinking of going to Su Haodang’s house made Qu Anruo feel a little psychologically uncomfortable.

After all, in the original book, the original host was forced to death by the male lead.

Upon arriving at the Su family home, Qu Anruo followed behind Qu Hanwen. The Su family’s decorations, both inside and out, felt like those of a nouveau riche. It was a waste of the Su family’s ancestral efforts.

Su Haodang’s father was unaware of the trouble his son had caused outside. He came out to greet the two of them, saying, “Oh, Chairman Qu and the young lady, do you have any business with the Su family?”

After entering the Su family home, Qu Hanwen sat down on the sofa, crossing his legs, and said, “President Su, control your son.”

Although Su Father didn’t fully understand Qu Hanwen’s words, he was still very displeased that someone would speak so negatively about his proud eldest son.

Su Father’s eyebrows furrowed: “Chairman Qu, you shouldn’t speak carelessly.” He got up and told the butler, “Old Li, see our guests out.”

“Then don’t blame me, President Su.” Qu Hanwen finished speaking and left with Qu Anruo.

In the car, Qu Hanwen said solemnly to Qu Anruo, “Ruoruo, Dad has a task for you.”

Qu Anruo had been confused the whole way. She asked dumbly, “What?”

“Take down the Su family.” Qu Hanwen said, clenching his fist, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

Qu Anruo was startled by Qu Hanwen’s sudden words. As expected of Qu Hanwen. Under Qu Hanwen’s gaze, Qu Anruo had no choice but to nod and agree.

“Good! You truly are my daughter, Qu Anruo!” Qu Hanwen said proudly.

After dropping Qu Anruo off at the company, Qu Hanwen returned home. Qu Anruo breathed a sigh of relief. She planned to go find Gu Jingyun to have a meal and then take her shopping. She wasn’t that busy right now, and according to Qu Hanwen, she might get busy soon.

Her initial wish was to be a salt fish (slacker)… Qu Anruo slumped over her desk in frustration.

[Host, cheer up! Look on the bright side, after taking down the Su family and the male lead doesn’t cause any more trouble, you and Gu Jingyun will be…] 666 suddenly appeared, and Qu Anruo thought about what it said, feeling like it wasn’t a bad idea at all.

[666, it’s great to have you.]

Hearing Qu Anruo’s words, the normally unblushing 666 almost blushed. 666 smiled shyly.

Qu Anruo got up, grabbed her car keys, and went to find Gu Jingyun. She just didn’t know why, but she seemed to have forgotten something.

When the car arrived at the entrance of Gu Jingyun’s house, Qu Anruo slammed on the brakes. She had only gotten Gu Jingyun an assistant, and hadn’t arranged anything else!

Qu Anruo arrived at the entrance of Gu Jingyun’s house and carefully observed the surroundings. The security was poor; people could just walk into the complex. And it was an old complex, with all sorts of things not up to standard. Qu Anruo lowered her head in self-reproach, it was her oversight. Although Gu Jingyun wasn’t famous yet, she had acted in quite a few dramas. Gu Jingyun didn’t usually wear a mask to conceal herself. If certain people found out Gu Jingyun’s address and managed to sneak in, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Thinking of this, Qu Anruo felt a chill. It seemed she had to arrange this matter quickly.

“Anruo, why did you come?” Gu Jingyun was cooking. It was as if she suddenly sensed something, and she came out and opened the door.

“I came to mooch a meal.” Qu Anruo followed Gu Jingyun into the house with her bag.

Gu Jingyun took out some snacks from a cabinet in the corner and said to Qu Anruo, “Anruo, have some refreshments first to tide you over.” Seeing that Qu Anruo loved snacks so much, she had bought many handmade snacks without additives. The cabinet had been delivered by her friend, and it didn’t look cheap.

Qu Anruo tasted a bite and realized it was handmade; it shouldn’t be cheap.

“Dinner is ready, come and eat.” Fortunately, she had made extra. Gu Jingyun placed the dishes on the table.

Qu Anruo skillfully helped Gu Jingyun bring the rice out of the kitchen. The two sat together, eating harmoniously.

“Sister, do you have anything else planned for the afternoon?” Qu Anruo wanted to take Gu Jingyun to look at houses. She also needed to move out of the Qu family home, and if possible, she wanted to live with Gu Jingyun.

Gu Jingyun put the washed dishes into the cupboard, wiping her hands, and asked, “No, why?”

“Then, Sister, come with me to a place.” Qu Anruo took the arm of the dish washing Gu Jingyun and went downstairs.

She had to choose a house close to Gu Jinyi’s school. It didn’t have to be too big, just enough for three people.

The houses near the school were indeed quite expensive. She had no experience buying a house, but with Gu Jingyun accompanying her, it shouldn’t be a big problem.

Gu Jingyun hadn’t expected Qu Anruo to take her to buy a house. She was pulled by Qu Anruo to look at the floor plans. The first two Qu Anruo felt were too small, so the sales representative, realizing the lady who came today was not an ordinary person, immediately put on a standard smile and led the two to look at better ones.

They finally settled on a four bedroom, two living room unit.

[This is what you call ‘not big’?] 666 was stunned, watching Qu Anruo pay calmly.

[Yes, compared to the Qu family home, isn’t this not big?] After Qu Anruo finished speaking to 666, she turned and started chatting with Gu Jingyun.

Gu Jingyun knew the housing prices near Gu Jinyi’s school buying a small house was already very expensive, let alone one this big. Qu Anruo held Gu Jingyun’s arm and said affectionately, “Sister, let’s live here from now on, okay?”

“This…” Gu Jingyun didn’t really want to accept it. After all, she hadn’t brought any value to the company yet, and Qu Anruo was doing this. She couldn’t accept it with a clear conscience.

“All artists in the company get this. It’s just that Sister will be living with me from now on.” Qu Anruo also knew what Gu Jingyun was thinking, and she said very thoughtfully.
