After get off work in the evening, Shen Li went back and packed his things. When he went downstairs, Chen Lingdong was already waiting at the intersection.

Perhaps Gu Jingcheng had specifically instructed that the car was not parked directly at the alley entrance, but at an intersection not far away.

"Miss Shen, let me do it."

Chen Lingdong took the box from Shen Li and put it in the car.

"Thank you, Assistant Chen."

"You're welcome. Mr. Gu still has work to do, so let me pick you up first. He will go directly to the old house in a while."

Chen Lingdong briefly explained to Shen Li and then drove to the Gu family's old house.

It would take some time to get to the old house, so Shen Li prepared to learn more about Gu Jingcheng from Chen Lingdong.

As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle. The more she knows, the less she will be left in the dark.

"Assistant Chen, have you been with Mr. Gu for a long time?"

"It's been a long time. I've been following him since I joined the company."

"What kind of person is your General Manager Gu?"

Hearing Shen Li's sudden inquiry, Chen Lingdong glanced at Shen Li in the rearview mirror.

Shen Li was afraid that he would misunderstand, so she immediately explained: "Don't get me wrong, I just want to know more. After all, we are going to live together under the same roof. If I don't know everything, it would be bad if I say something wrong and get caught."

"It's okay if you feel embarrassed and can't tell me. I just thought that you know all about what happened between Mr. Gu and me. He should trust you very much, so I thought of asking you."

Even if Shen Li didn't explain, Chen Lingdong wouldn't misunderstand anything. All matters concerning Shen Li were investigated by him, and he knew no less than Gu Jingcheng.

"I can't say much about the rest, but you can rest assured, Miss Shen. Although he looks cold and difficult to deal with, he is actually very easy to get along with."

Are they easy to get along with? Shen Li disagrees.

Chen Lingdong saw Shen Li's reaction in the rearview mirror and guessed that she didn't believe it, so he smiled and continued.

"The CEO of a listed company who is resolute and efficient likes sweets. Can't you tell?"

"Sweets? Is that what I was thinking? Strawberry shortcake?"

Chen Lingdong smiled and said nothing, which was considered as his agreement.

This information was a little hard for Shen Li to accept for a while. She found it hard to associate the gloomy-faced Gu Jingcheng with strawberry cake.

Thinking of this huge contrast, Shen Li couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

"By the way, Mr. Gu usually has a light taste. He used to be too busy with work and often didn't have time to eat, so his stomach is not very good. He especially doesn't like sour food. You have to remember this."

"Okay, then besides these, is there anything else?"

"others···"

"For example, taboos and such. Yesterday we ran into Mr. Gu's stepmother, and it seemed like they didn't have a good relationship."

This is what Shen Li really cares about. Compared to what he likes to eat or doesn't like to eat, the members and relationships of the Gu family are the most important to Shen Li.

This time, Chen Lingdong was not as straightforward as when he mentioned Gu Jingcheng's taste. He had his own considerations.

Gu Jingcheng did not specifically instruct Shen Li to know these things. His boss's family background was not something he could casually tell outsiders about behind his back.

But one has to worry. If Shen Li doesn't know anything and someone becomes suspicious, he might lay a trap for Gu Jingcheng.

A bunch of people in the company are eyeing Gu Jingcheng covetously, hoping to find fault with him, and Shan Daiyun is no pushover either.

After some thought, Chen Lingdong decided that he should explain some basic precautions to Shen Li in advance.

"As you can see, Mr. Gu and Mr. Shan don't have a good relationship. To be more precise, when Mr. Gu was still alive, the relationship between father and son was also very tense. I can't tell you the specific reasons."

"But there is one thing you must be clear about. You and Mr. Gu must be on the same front from beginning to end. Ms. Shan is very good at winning people's hearts, so you must be careful of her."

"Mr. Gu has a half-brother, and their relationship is neither good nor bad. You should have a chance to meet him soon."

After Shen Li listened to Chen Lingdong's simple words, she felt her head buzzing. It seemed that she had underestimated the complexity of this relationship before. She would have to be careful in the future.

Fortunately, we don’t have to live together every day, which is something to be thankful for.

But when he arrived at the Gu family's old house, Shen Li could no longer laugh.

Gu Jingcheng hasn't come back yet, but Gu Zhengrong was discharged from the hospital in the afternoon. Shan Daiyun also appeared in the Gu family's old house.

There were several cars parked in front of the villa, and servants were moving things inside. It looked like they were moving.

Shan Daiyun stood at the door of the villa and directed: "Be gentle, take these things upstairs first."

Shen Li and Chen Lingdong looked at each other, their eyes almost popped out.

Chen Lingdong's expression didn't look much better either. Apparently, he didn't know that Shan Daiyun was going to move back to the Gu family's old house, so he turned aside and called Gu Jingcheng to report the situation.

Shan Daiyun on this side also saw Shen Li standing in the yard and walked over with a smile.

"You came here, and that's all you brought?"

As she said this, she looked at the box at Shen Li's feet and called for the servant to help her carry it.

"Someone come and take Miss Shen's luggage in."

Shan Daiyun addressed her as "Miss Shen", clearly acting like a master and deliberately trying to intimidate her.

Shen Li moved the box closer to himself and said, "It's not a problem. I can do it myself. I thought that since I was going home, not moving, I would definitely have everything. So I didn't bring so many things."

Shan Daiyun's face looked extremely ugly. Shen Li's few words made her lose face.

The servant who was about to help Shen Li carry the box stood there at a loss, looking at Shan Daiyun.

One must always maintain his dignity. Shan Daiyun smiled and said, "Ms. Shen is really sharp-tongued."

When Shan Daiyun turned to the servant again, his expression was no longer as good as before: "There are still so many things, don't you have to work?"

The servant nodded quickly and trotted off to move things.

The reason why Shen Li dared to so blatantly not give face to Shan Daiyun was that he got the exact answer from Chen Lingdong.

Gu Jingcheng and Shan Daiyun had a very bad relationship, almost like they were incompatible with each other. Gu Jingcheng had never given Shan Daiyun a good look.

Shen Li also remembered Chen Lingdong's instructions clearly in her mind. She must always stand on the same side as Gu Jingcheng, and she should have the same attitude as Gu Jingcheng.

What she wanted to cling to was Gu Jingcheng's thigh. After all, she didn't have the capital to slam the table and say goodbye to Gu Jingcheng. Shen Li was very clear-headed about this.

Perhaps the servant of the old house told Uncle Jin that Shen Li had arrived, so Uncle Jin hurried out to greet him.

"Madam, I'm Uncle Jin, the housekeeper of the Gu family. I met him yesterday. Give me the things. The room has been cleaned up early in the morning. I'll take you to see it. Just tell me if you need anything."

Shen Li remembered that when he came yesterday, Uncle Jin was the one who always followed Gu Zhengrong, so he gave the box to him with confidence.

"Excuse me, Uncle Jin. I'll go say hello to Grandpa first."

"There's no rush. The old man is resting now. Tell him to call him at dinner time."

"Oh, that's good."

Shen Li entered the old house under the personal welcome of Uncle Jin. In the old house, he represented Gu Zhengrong's position.

The servants were working, but they all looked over here, guessing where Shen Li came from.

Uncle Jin took Shen Li to the room and said, "This is the room where Ah Cheng lived before. It has been cleaned up. You can take a rest first. Someone will call you for dinner."

"Thank you, Uncle Jin. Please go ahead and do your work. Don't worry about me."

After Uncle Jin left, Shen Li looked at the unfamiliar room in front of him, at a loss as to what to do.

She took a quick look around and could tell at a glance that it was a man's room because of the unified, capable and calm style.

The only thing that looks out of place in the corner is a dressing table, which is like an intruder, breaking the original harmony and appears particularly abrupt.

Shen Li put the box against the wall and paced back and forth in the room anxiously, muttering to himself.

"It's over, it's over. There's only one bed. Now things have gotten out of hand. What should I do? I'm not going to live in the same room with a strange man, am I?"
