Gu Xiao hugged the bowl of braised sliced pork belly with preserved mustard and cried in front of Chu An and Chu Zi.
She wasn’t wailing, nor was her face covered in tears. Crystal clear tears flowed out of the corners of her eyes, quickly streaked across her cheeks, and then fell to the ground.
When she met Chu An and Chu Zi’s slightly surprised gazes, she didn’t realize that she was crying and only looked at the two of them in confusion.
Chu An hurriedly walked to Gu Xiao’s side and hugged her.
“Xiaoxiao, don’t cry. I’m by your side. I’ll always be by your side.”
Even Chu Zi, who had always been steady and calm, stood at the side at a loss. Seeing Gu Xiao, he wanted to comfort her, but didn’t know what to say, he could only keep signalling at Chu An with his eyes.

She had Chu An by her side now, and her usual relationship with Ji Chen was not too bad. The Chu family was also very concerned about her.
She was indeed doing well now.
Chu An met Gu Xiao’s red eyes and nodded without saying anything.
“Yes, I know.”
After saying that, he did not focus too much attention to Gu Xiao. Instead, he looked at Chu Zi, who was still at a loss.
“I remember that Brother likes Mom’s pickled radishes the most, right? How about you eat at my place for lunch today?”
Upon hearing Chu An’s words, Chu Zi glanced at Gu Xiao and met Chu An’s gaze. After understanding what he wanted to express, he nodded and agreed. “Okay, then I’ll stay here with you today. I can’t let you take all the things Mom made.”
Gu Xiao did not forget the purpose of inviting Chu Zi over this time. She also perked up.
She reluctantly handed the bowl of braised sliced pork belly with preserved mustard to Chu An. When she looked at Chu Zi again, her face had already returned to its usual calmness, as if that moment of vulnerability was just an illusion.
“Brother, come in and let’s have a chat?”
It was only after Chu An nagged at Gu Xiao for a long time that Gu Xiao changed the way she addressed him, and now called him “brother”.
Chu Zi didn’t refute Gu Xiao’s call of “Brother”. He was even a little happy that Chu An was gathering the things at the side so he could stand at the sidelines with Gu Xiao to watch the show.
He did not expect this kid to have such a moment!
Chu Zi thought smugly in his heart and even deliberately glanced at Chu An. He puffed out his chest and followed Gu Xiao to the sofa in the living room.
After the two of them sat on the sofa, Gu Xiao told him about the company she and Chu An had discussed. Chu An, who had already packed away the things, sat down beside Gu Xiao and added details from time to time.
After hearing Gu Xiao and Chu An’s words, Chu Zi nodded in agreement.
“This is indeed a good idea.” When talking about serious matters, Chu Zi’s expression was abnormally serious. He no longer looked smug.

Gu Xiao glanced at Chu An, who had just finished packing, and asked in unison, “What’s missing?”
“Although Xiaoxiao has a certain level of fame, it’s still not enough when compared to real celebrities in the entertainment industry. If you want to make a name for yourself in the entertainment industry as soon as possible, you still have to rely on a popular celebrity. Now, you can find a celebrity who’s willing to join your company and one that is already famous at that.”
In a place like the entertainment industry, fame and popularity were the most important.
At the very beginning, they should make a name for themselves and attract the attention of netizens and viewers and only then could they proceed to the next step.
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiao and Chu An understood what they lacked previously.
After that, Chu Zi didn’t hide anything and told Gu Xiao and Chu An some other things to pay attention to.
The two of them straightened their backs and looked at Chu Zi, who was speaking frankly and confidently. Their expressions were serious as they remembered everything the other party said.
After the three of them finished discussing the company’s matters, it was lunchtime.
Gu Xiao looked at the time, then stood up and said to Chu Zi, “Since Older Brother is eating at home, you can try my cooking.”
With that, she walked towards the kitchen.
Chu An originally wanted to follow, but the other party raised her hand to stop him, so he could only stay behind to accompany Chu Zi..
