Gu Yu's life was quite tumultuous, and Qin Zhi had been bedridden for several days in a row.
Fortunately, Liang Doukong had no schedule recently, Qin Yilove didn't have to go out, and she could stay at home to rest. It wasn't until a week later that she fully recovered from the shock of that night.
This week, Gu Yu Sheng was still the same as before, and he didn't go home every day.
Only Gu Yu's family and the people from his old house knew about the landline at home, apart from himself.
Since Qin Zhi Ai moved into this house, Gu Yu Sheng has been treating it as if the house didn't exist and never called home once.
So this machine, except when receiving calls from the old house, is no different from a decoration.
This afternoon, when the phone rang, the housekeeper was brewing fruit tea in the kitchen. Qin Zhi'ai, who happened to be sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV, thought it was a call from the old mansion and didn't check the caller ID, so she picked up the phone casually.
The phone hadn't even reached his ear when a concise voice came through: "Get her ready, I'll pick her up at 6 tonight."
It's Gu Yu Sheng's voice... Qin Zhi Ai suddenly stopped her action of raising the microphone.
Is he taking the person who answered the phone as a butler? The "she" in his mouth refers to her, right?
Just as Qin Zhi Ai was hesitating whether to respond with an "oh" herself or take the receiver to the kitchen to find the housekeeper to respond with an "oh", Gu Yu Sheng, on the other end of the phone, seemed to have sensed something amiss and suddenly spoke up again, his tone noticeably colder: "Why did you answer the phone?"
He didn't even give her a chance to respond, and then he continued: "Grandfather's orders, the charity dinner at Beijing Restaurant tonight, you must attend!"
When he said this sentence, he deliberately emphasized the two words "grandfather", although he had nothing extra to say except for notification, but Qin Zhi Ai still understood the meaning behind his words.
He thought this charity gala was where she had gone to find her grandfather and have him take her there...
It was as if fulfilling her guess, Gu Yu Sheng spoke in a calm tone again: "Your timing is really good, I just returned from a business trip, and Grandpa's call came... Heh..."
As he spoke, he chuckled softly and briefly, but despite the phone call, Qin Zhi'ai still felt his sarcasm.
The phone was then quickly hung up by him.
No wonder it's been quiet this week, no calls from the old house, turns out Gu Yu Sheng is on a business trip...
As soon as he came back, Grandpa immediately seized the opportunity and pulled her and him together.
Qin Zhi'ai knew that Grandpa was kind-hearted, but... it was precisely because of Grandpa's repeated kindness that she had been harmed!
A week ago, that nightmare still made her heart palpitate, if she really met Gu Yu Sheng tonight, she had no idea what kind of tricks he would use to torment her.
The first two times, it happened too suddenly, she didn't even have a chance to dodge. This time is different... She can't know clearly that she will be miserable tonight and still go to accept that kind of miserable situation.
Qin Zhi Ai's face was calm and serene as she tilted her head, staring at the bright sunlight outside the window for a moment. Suddenly, the two words "business trip" that Gu Yu Sheng had just mentioned flashed through her mind, and then she quickly picked up the phone and dialed a number.
