After more than ten minutes, Qin Zhi 'ai still hadn't received her message, so she called Gu Yusheng again, but the line was still busy.
Qin Zhi 'ai seemed to understand something, so she changed the landline next to her and called Gu Yusheng.
The call went through without much effort.
It turned out that it was just as she had guessed. When she called him for the first time and was rejected, he had put her on the blacklist.
Qin Zhi 'ai's eyes dimmed a little. When she was about to hang up the phone and ask the housekeeper to contact Gu Yusheng during the day, the phone was suddenly connected. Gu Yusheng seemed to have guessed that it was her, so he said impatiently, "Are you done? Didn't I tell you not to bother me for no reason? "
"Grandpa called …" Qin Zhi 'ai was afraid that Gu Yusheng would hang up the next second, so she hurriedly said, "… Grandpa said he arrived in Beijing early this morning and asked us to go to his place for dinner."
Gu Yusheng didn't say anything on the other end of the phone.
Qin Zhi 'ai waited for a while, but Gu Yusheng didn't respond, so she continued to say, "Should I wait for you there like last time?"
Last time was the first day she had moved into his house. Grandpa had asked him to take her home for dinner, but he hadn't wanted to pick her up in his car, so he had asked her to go there alone and wait for him in a small alley next to the neighborhood where grandpa lived.
She thought that this time, he still didn't want to pick her up.
Qin Zhi 'ai suppressed the disappointment in her heart and tried to make her tone sound normal. She asked again, "Then what time should I wait for you tomorrow?"
Gu Yusheng still didn't answer her question.
"In the afternoon …" This time, Qin Zhi 'ai had only said four words when Gu Yusheng's voice suddenly came through the phone. His tone was cold. "Every time you use grandpa as an excuse to pester me, don't you think it's disgusting?"
Qin Zhi 'ai suddenly tightened her grip on the phone. She felt like her neck was being squeezed, and the words "six o' clock?" were stuck in her throat. It was unbearable.
The silence on both sides of the phone was terrifying.
Two seconds later, Gu Yusheng hung up the phone.
Qin Zhi 'ai froze for a long time before she came back to her senses. She slowly put the phone back on the desk, lay down on the bed, and covered herself with the quilt. She closed her eyes and looked like she was about to fall asleep. However, there was a glint of tears in the corner of her eyes. Her hands, which were holding onto the bedding, were trembling violently.
On the phone in the early morning, Qin Zhi 'ai and Gu Yusheng hadn't agreed on a time to go to the Gu Mansion. Before hanging up, Gu Yusheng's words had been so harsh. Qin Zhi' ai wouldn't embarrass herself by calling him again.
Qin Zhi 'ai didn't know what time Gu Yusheng would go to the Gu Mansion, but she knew he would get off work at 5: 30.
Therefore, before 5: 30 pm, Qin Zhi 'ai was waiting in a small alley near the entrance of the Gu's old mansion.
It wasn't until half past six that a shrill car horn came from the street not far away. Qin Zhi 'ai turned her head and saw Gu Yusheng's car parked on the side of the road.
When she walked to the front of the car, Qin Zhi 'ai realized that Gu Yusheng was the driver, not his chauffeur.
