Gu Xiao thought for a few seconds before saying to Tian Xian, “Just give her my number.”

She wanted to see why exactly Mi Rui had bypassed Ning Shuang to seek her out for.

When Tian Xian heard that, although he did not have a good impression of Mi Rui, but since Gu Xiao had already spoken, he could only do as Gu Xiao said.

“Alright, President Gu. I understand.”

Gu Xiao nodded and hung up.

She held the phone in her hand and suddenly turned to look at Jiang Meng and Wei Shu, who were eavesdropping.

Jiang Meng and Wei Shu were still focused on listening to Gu Xiao. They did not expect her to suddenly turn around. When they met Gu Xiao’s calm gaze, the two of them felt a little embarrassed.

“I-l’m sorry, Xiaoxiao. We didn’t eavesdrop on purpose.” Wei Shu didn’t want to leave a bad impression in front of Gu Xiao, so she took the initiative to apologize to Gu Xiao.

Jiang Meng hurriedly nodded. “It’s our fault. We shouldn’t have eavesdropped. I’m sorry.”

Seeing that the two girls were apologizing sincerely added with the fact that this was also Jiang Meng and Wei Shu’s dormitory, she did not get angry.

“Curious?” Gu Xiao asked softly.

Jiang Meng and Wei Shu looked at each other. Seeing that Gu Xiao did not seem to be angry, they hurriedly nodded, and a glint appeared in their eyes.

Jiang Meng could not hold it in and directly spoke when she heard Gu Xiao’s question.

“Hasn’t there been a lot of news about Star Brilliance and Mi Rui on the Internet recently? That’s why we were a little curious when we heard Mi Rui’s name.”

“We’re just a little curious. If, if you can’t tell us, we won’t ask further. We won’t say anything after leaving the dormitory either!” Wei Shu said immediately.

Gu Xiao paused for a second. Just as she was about to say something, the phone in her hand rang.

She looked down at the phone screen. It was an unfamiliar number. However, considering Tian Xian’s call just now, she could guess who was calling.

Then, she looked up at Jiang Meng and Wei Shu. “Let me take this call.”

Jiang Meng and Wei Shu nodded and hurriedly turned around. They did not look at Gu Xiao anymore. They even took out their earphones and put them in their ears to avoid hearing Gu Xiao’s voice.

Gu Xiao did not continue to sit in her seat. She stood up with her phone and walked to the balcony before answering the call.

“Hello.”

After a few seconds of hesitation, Mi Rui’s slightly distorted voice came from the other end of the phone.

“Hello, President Gu. I’m Mi Rui.”

Gu Xiao hummed softly before taking the initiative to ask, “1 heard from Tian Xian that you want to have a chat with me? What do you want to talk about?”

There was a hint of playfulness in her tone, as if she had answered Mi Rui’s call only because she was bored and looking for something for herself to do.

However, through the phone, Mi Rui didn’t understand the meaning in Gu Xiao’s words.

Mi Rui didn’t answer immediately. Gu Xiao wasn’t in a hurry, so she waited with phone in hand.

She raised her head slightly. From the balcony, she could see the school building not far away and the large lake between the school building and the dormitory.

Today was a sunny day. The sun shone on the lake, and the sparkling water was very beautiful. Coupled with the trees planted beside the lake, a large area of shade fell. In this hot weather, just watching was already very pleasant.

Therefore, she didn’t mind expending some time with Mi Rui.

When Gu Xiao changed her standing position, Mi Rui’s voice came from the other end of the phone.

“President Gu, may I ask why you were willing to give me that chance in ‘The Consort’?”

Through the phone, Gu Xiao couldn’t tell what Mi Rui meant. She couldn’t see Mi Rui’s expression, and she didn’t know what Mi Rui was trying to express when she said this.

Gu Xiao retracted her gaze from the lake and looked at the succulents raised by Jiang Meng and Wei Shu.

It was a small plant, but Jiang Meng and Wei Shu cherished it very much. They usually took good care of this pot of succulents.

She stretched out her slender fingers and gently tapped on the succulent flesh. There was a delicate feeling on her fingertips. Looking at the succulent flesh, Gu Xiao’s lips curled into a smile.

“It’s just that you happen to be suitable for that role,” Gu Xiao said honestly..
