The housekeeper replied, "No."
Qin Zhi 'ai didn't say anything and turned to leave.
It was already one o 'clock in the morning. Gu Yusheng probably wouldn't come back tonight.
Ever since he had instructed the housekeeper to watch her take birth control pills and leave the house, it had been a month since he last came back.
When he had left that day, he had asked the housekeeper to tell her not to bother him. She hadn't bothered him at all.
So in this one month, not only did they not see each other, they didn't even talk on the phone.
Qin Zhi 'ai stared at the European grandfather clock, which was pointing at one. She was in a daze for a long time before her eyes slowly fell on the TV screen. It was showing her favorite star's movie, but she wasn't in the mood to watch it. She turned off the TV and went back upstairs.
Maybe it was because she had thought of Gu Yusheng when she had looked at the time downstairs, but she couldn't fall asleep immediately. She closed her eyes and let her imagination run wild for a while. When she finally felt sleepy and barely fell asleep, the phone on the bedside table rang.
It was the Gu Mansion's landline. Qin Zhi 'ai picked it up and heard the voice of Nanny Zhang, the housekeeper who had worked there for more than 20 years. "Young Mistress, I'm so sorry to call you so late. Old Master Gu just called and said that he's returning to Beijing early this morning. He wants you and Young Master to come to the Gu Mansion for dinner tonight …"
Nanny Zhang was following Old Master Gu's instructions. She was probably the only person in the Gu Mansion who dared to go against Gu Yusheng's wishes and call her "Young Mistress."
"And Young Master, don't forget to tell him …"
Gu Yusheng had told her not to bother him … Qin Zhi 'ai subconsciously wanted to ask Nanny Zhang to call Gu Yusheng, but when the words were on the tip of her tongue, she remembered the warning he had given her on the day she had moved into his house.
He said that his grandfather was the only family he had left in this world. If she hadn't used some despicable method to coax him into staying with her, he wouldn't have even bothered to look at her, let alone letting her stay in his house!
He also said that it was best not to let his grandfather know that their relationship was not good. If his grandfather was upset because of this, he would never let her go!
She was living in Gu Yusheng's home, but she had asked Nanny Zhang to call him. This was obviously telling Nanny Zhang that her relationship with Gu Yusheng was terrible, and that Nanny Zhang had served Grandpa for so many years …
Qin Zhi 'ai struggled for a moment, but in the end, she swallowed her words and said, "Nanny Zhang, I understand. I'll tell Yusheng."
After hanging up, Qin Zhi 'ai leaned against the headboard and searched for Gu Yusheng's phone number on her cell phone. After hesitating for a while, she dialed it.
Hearing the dial tone, Qin Zhi 'ai was so nervous that she held her breath.
One ring, two rings, three rings … Before the fourth ring could be heard, the phone was mercilessly cut off by the other end.
Gu Yusheng refused to answer her calls …
Qin Zhi 'ai tightened the corners of her mouth and didn't continue to call Gu Yusheng. Instead, she wrote a text message and sent it to him.
After a long time, there was no notification on the screen that the text message had been delivered. Qin Zhi 'ai had no choice but to call Gu Yusheng again. This time, she didn't hear the sound of the phone being connected, but the busy tone of the line being engaged.
