When she woke up the next day, Chu Xiao told Gu Ziyu of her decision, and she planned to stay in Los Angeles to accompany her father until his health improved. Although Chu Xiao has a stubborn personality, he is an extremely emotional person, although he broke up with his father last night, he still can't bear to see his father living alone in a nursing home, without relatives to take care of.

Gu Ziyu still needs to inspect Guangqi's business in Los Angeles during the day, and he will rush to the hospital at night.

Chu Xiao no longer talked to Chu Yanpu about Zhuo Li, this name is like a fuse for the father and daughter, but whenever it is mentioned, it will explode.

Gu Ziyu's trip to Los Angeles ended after a week, and he should return to his hometown to attend the annual meeting, as well as the cocktail parties held by various companies the year before. Chu Xiao didn't want Gu Ziyu to delay his itinerary for his own sake, so he persuaded him to leave Los Angeles and go back to Shanghai.

"When the work is over, I'll come back to accompany you."

“…… It's going to be the New Year soon, so don't run back and forth, it's quite a toss. ”

"I'll arrange it, and if anything happens, you can contact me at any time."

Chu Xiao nodded, hugged and kissed Gu Ziyu, and watched Gu Ziyu's figure gradually disappear into the crowd, Chu Xiao realized that he had become so dependent on him.

During this time in Los Angeles, Chu Xiao's living arrangement was very simple, he came to the hospital every day to accompany his father, and prepared for the graduate school entrance examination, and Gu Ziyu would chat remotely in his spare time, and the two seemed to have begun to get used to a foreign relationship.

Chu Yanpu's condition has always been very stable, taking medicine on time every day, regular check-ups, the father and daughter talk about news hotspots and film and television dramas on weekdays, as long as they don't talk about sensitive things on both sides, they get along happily.

"How's your application going?"

"I've submitted my application, and I'm ready for the exam."

Chu Xiao held a pen in her hand, and while answering, she recorded it in her notebook, as if she had returned to the time when she was studying in the past, and Chu Yanpu would accompany her to review her homework whenever she had time.

Gu Ziyu is always planning when to come to Los Angeles again, but the company is always busy, and the New Year is approaching, and he still has to review the house to accompany his elders.

Gu Ziyu returned to the old mansion alone on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the Gu family asked Chu Xiao tactfully. Gu Ziyu told his family the truth about Chu Yanpu's illness, and also mentioned that he was going to propose to Chu Xiao.

Gu Shixian and Yu Manyu expressed their support and told Gu Ziyu to prepare for the marriage proposal ceremony. Maggie Yu also talked to Gu Ziyu about how Gu Shixian proposed to her back then. Gu Shixian is a romantic person in his bones, on the night that Yu Manyu won the actress award, he came to pick her up, and set up a marriage proposal ceremony next to the award ceremony venue, proposing to Yu Manyu.

The breath of the Spring Festival permeated all corners of Shanghai, Gu Ziyu talked to Chu Xiao remotely, and saw Chu Xiao sitting in the garden of the sanatorium, with review materials on the table.

"Don't forget to study in the New Year?"

"Learning to relieve anxiety."

Gu Ziyu stayed in his bedroom, sitting at the desk and talking to Chu Xiao, the two were separated by a long distance, but in front of the screen, it seemed to be sitting side by side.

Gu Ziyu asked about Chu Yanpu's physical condition, and also asked Chu Xiao to pay more attention to rest.

Ten times during the Spring Festival, two people can't be together, and they still feel empty in their hearts.

—Dividing Line—

The days flow slowly forward like a valley stream.

Regarding the final investigation results of Guangqi, Chu Xiao was naturally innocent, and the two producers, including Sun Xili, and the three financers were fired. Among them, Sun Xili's crime was the most serious, he was involved in a large amount of money, and was finally sentenced to five years in prison.

Gu Ziyu did not let Zhang Haojian continue to stay in Guangqi, and after agreeing with Zhou Jialuo, he retained Zhang Haojian's shares in Guangqi, but he no longer had real power in his hands and no longer participated in any project decisions of Guangqi.

Zhuo Li's behavior constituted a punishment for circulating criticism, but she targeted Chu Xiao secretly, Gu Ziyu naturally would not let her go, and the expulsion of Zhuo Li was also within the agreed terms between Gu Ziyu and Zhou Jialuo.

As for Chen Siyi, she doesn't occupy an important position, and her behavior such as spreading rumors is enough to expel her.

After completing the acquisition and negotiation, Gu Ziyu specially sent Zhou Qicheng to announce the news within Guangqi, and he said that if he wanted to return Chu Xiao's innocence, he would definitely do it.

Chu Xiao on the other side of the ocean only learned about this through Ganyu, in Ganyu's description, Gu Ziyu is a domineering president like a hero, Chu Xiao was amused by Ganyu's funny words.

Gu Ziyu is a man of action, he didn't take the initiative to mention this matter to Chu Xiao, and dealt with everything silently.

Chu Xiao took it all to heart, thinking about how to thank her, but it seemed that Gu Ziyu's life was going smoothly, and she didn't need to do anything at all.

The more intimate Gu Ziyu was, the more Chu Xiao felt indebted. But the matter of taking the graduate school entrance examination is already on the line, and Chu Xiao must face it seriously.

A week before the exam, Chu Xiao was a little nervous. Chu Yanpu saw that Chu Xiao was not in a good state, so he said: "You have already reviewed carefully, so as long as you play normally in the exam, don't put too much burden on yourself." ”

Chu Yanpu knows her daughter's temper, she wants to be as good as possible in everything, so she always puts too much psychological burden on herself.

"It's just that I haven't had an exam for too long, so I'm nervous and excited." Chu Xiao didn't want to admit his recent uneasy mood in front of his father, just like the previous college entrance examination, if he played normally, like the usual mock test, the score should be higher.

On the day of the exam, Chu Xiao was angry very early, and arrived at the examination room in advance, in a strange country, there was a crowd of people, Chu Xiao didn't know anyone, but at this time, she felt that her mood was open and she gradually calmed down.

The exam went more smoothly than Chu Xiao imagined. Including the later interview, the mentor was a Chinese-American, because he knew that Chu Xiao was in charge of the production of works in the past, and they had a very pleasant chat.

After the exam, Chu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and stayed more focused on accompanying his father.

With Chu Xiao by Chu Yanpu's side to talk, Chu Yanpu's complexion is getting better day by day.

After Su Wei came to Los Angeles, he came to the hospital many times to see Chu Xiao. Su Wei's cooking level is far above Chu Xiao, she knows some major cuisines, and when she comes to visit Chu Yanpu several times, she will bring delicious meals. Chu Xiao followed Su Wei and learned a few simple home-cooked dishes.

Gu Ziyu's work is still busy, so Wen plans to go public in three years, and the company is expanding rapidly through acquisitions, so it is particularly troublesome to adjust the internal structure.

Gu Ziyu saw Chu Xiao again, but he took the opportunity of a business trip to the United States to meet each other.

After a long absence, Chu Xiao also deliberately made tomato scrambled eggs, corn green beans, fried seasonal vegetables and lazy pork ribs, a few simple home-cooked dishes, Gu Ziyu was overjoyed to eat.
