Chapter 224 - 210: I Will Definitely Make You Regret It
After more than a decade of not touching alcohol, Gu Qili had long forgotten its taste, barely remembering the sweet flavor from her childhood sip that turned spicy later, and then... the memory blurred.
First-timers tasting red wine may find it a bit unsettling initially, the heavy body swirling around the mouth, with a texture that’s somewhat coarse and forceful, as heavy as stout, yet upon careful appreciation, that tangy note hits just right, like a volcanic eruption, ferocious at the onset and then bursting with dazzling colors.
Thinking of the descriptions she had learned about red wine, Gu Qili could roughly guess what kind of wine it was, quite consistent with what the label said.
Gu Qili didn’t dare to drink more, wiping her mouth before returning to her room.
She had just turned on her computer to work on her thesis when she received a text. After she blocked Hu Jiaojiao on WeChat, Hu Jiaojiao must have sent countless messages unsuccessfully, only to realize she was blocked, and resorted to texting instead.
"Gu Qili, how is the task I assigned you coming along? This is your final warning. If I don’t receive the interview notice by tomorrow, I will send those photos and videos to your friends, colleagues, and Mu Shuoqian. Take care of it."
Facing her threat, Gu Qili replied without hesitation: "Hu Jiaojiao, if you dare to do this, I’ll make sure you regret it."
"Well then, let’s see if I dare."
Irritated, Gu Qili blocked her phone number as well. She had never encountered such a vexing person before, as annoying as a fly.
With the computer on her lap, she didn’t open it, her mind repeatedly thinking about the screenshots of the videos that Hu Jiaojiao had once sent.
Finally, she opened the door and walked out, just as Mu Shuoqian also came out of his room. Seeing her, he seemed startled. "Why haven’t you gone to bed yet?"
"I’m writing my thesis." Gu Qili’s newly resolved determination faltered at the sight of him. She was still angry with him and really didn’t want to discuss these matters at this time.
