Gu Yusheng had been so rough that Qin Zhi 'ai hadn't been able to get out of bed for several days.
Fortunately, Liang Doukou didn't have much to do, so Qin Zhi 'ai didn't have to go out. She could stay at home and rest. By the time she had completely recovered from that night's narrow escape, it was already a week later.
During that week, Gu Yusheng didn't go home every day as usual.
Gu Yusheng's landline number was only known to the people at the Gu Mansion and himself.
Since Qin Zhi 'ai had moved into the Gu Mansion, Gu Yusheng had never called home, as if the Gu Mansion didn't exist.
Therefore, the landline was no different from a decoration, except when the Gu Mansion called.
That afternoon, the housekeeper was making fruit tea in the kitchen when the phone rang. Qin Zhi 'ai, who happened to be watching TV on the sofa in the living room, thought it was a call from the Gu Mansion, so she picked it up without looking at the caller ID.
Before she raised the phone to her ear, a simple voice came through the phone. "Tell her to get ready. I'll pick her up at six o 'clock tonight."
It's Gu Yusheng's voice … Qin Zhi 'ai suddenly stopped raising the phone.
Did he think the person who answered the phone was the housekeeper? Did he mean her by "her"?
As Qin Zhi 'ai was hesitating whether she should answer him or take the phone to the kitchen and ask the housekeeper to answer him, Gu Yusheng seemed to have sensed something was wrong. He suddenly said in a much colder tone, "Why did you answer the phone?"
He didn't give her a chance to answer and immediately said, "Grandpa asked you to attend the charity party at the Peking Hotel tonight!"
When he said this, he deliberately emphasized the word "grandpa." Although he didn't say anything else except to inform her, Qin Zhi 'ai still understood the meaning of his words.
He thought she had asked her grandfather to take her to the charity gala...
As if her guess was confirmed, Gu Yusheng said in a low voice, "You're really well-timed. I just came back from a business trip, and grandpa called … Ha …"
As he said this, he chuckled. It was very low and short, but Qin Zhi 'ai could still feel his sarcasm through the phone.
Then, he quickly hung up the phone.
No wonder it had been so quiet this week. There hadn't been a single call from the Gu Mansion. It turned out that Gu Yusheng had gone on a business trip …
Now that he was back, Grandpa immediately seized the opportunity to drag her along with him.
Qin Zhi 'ai knew that grandpa was being kind, but … it was his kindness again and again that caused her to be in trouble.
The nightmare from a week ago still scared her. If she really met Gu Yusheng tonight, she didn't know what he would do to her.
The first two times, it happened too suddenly. She didn't even have the chance to avoid it. But this time, it was different … She couldn't go to the door knowing that she was going to be miserable tonight.
Qin Zhi 'ai calmly tilted her head and stared at the bright afternoon sun outside the window for a while. Suddenly, the words "business trip" that Gu Yusheng had just said to her flashed through her mind. Then, as if she had thought of something, she quickly picked up the landline and dialed a number.
