"Miss, it's Mr. Gu on the phone …" the housekeeper said as she raised Qin Zhi 'ai's hand to her ear.
Before Qin Zhi 'ai could answer the phone, Gu Yusheng's cold and impatient voice came through the phone. "Don't let her answer the phone. I'm not calling to talk to her. I just want you to ask her how much she spent yesterday. I'll ask my secretary to send it to her, so that she won't take the opportunity to pester me if I owe her anything."
Qin Zhi 'ai's "hello" was suddenly stuck in her throat. She didn't know how to respond to what he had said to the housekeeper.
On the other end of the phone, Gu Yusheng waited for a while, but didn't get a response. He seemed to realize who had answered the phone, and his tone became colder and colder. "You heard what I just said, right? Tell the housekeeper the amount and let her tell me."
Then the phone was hung up without mercy.
Qin Zhi 'ai held the phone for a while, then put it down.
Seeing her put the phone down, the housekeeper immediately said with a smile, "Miss, what did Mr. Gu say to you? This is the first time Mr. Gu has called to ask how you are. It seems that Mr. Gu doesn't care about you … "
"Let's eat." Qin Zhi 'ai interrupted the housekeeper with a cold face and walked to the dining room first.
In fact, when she went downstairs and heard the housekeeper report her situation to him, she was a little happy. Like the housekeeper, she thought that he was concerned about her … Actually, it wasn't … He just wanted to pay for her medical expenses so that he could better draw a line between them.
Maybe because she had too many dreams about the past, Qin Zhi 'ai was often absent-minded during the meal, thinking about what had happened later from time to time.
What had happened later was much simpler than in her dreams.
After that, she hadn't seen Gu Yusheng for four years. She didn't know where he had gone or what he was doing.
She occasionally walked around the Gu Mansion, but she had never been lucky enough to run into him.
Four years later, she could only see him because his parents had passed away. She had heard the news from Xu Wennuan. Of course, Xu Wennuan had learned from Wu Hao that Gu Yusheng's father had killed his mother and then committed suicide by taking poison.
At that time, she was already in university and had gone to Shanghai to attend an exchange. When she found out that he had returned to Beijing to attend the funeral, she rushed back to Beijing overnight to see him.
The Gu Family was a big business with too many people. She was born poor and inconspicuous, so there was no way she could enter the Gu Family. She waited outside the Gu Family's door for three days and three nights, but she only managed to catch a glimpse of him from afar. The next time they met was two years later.
She followed her graduate teacher and was fortunate enough to attend a charity party.
He happened to be there that day. He was wearing a slim black suit paired with a simple white shirt. His collar was neat, and his cuffs were tightly fastened. He looked elegant and noble.
He was surrounded by many high-ranking officials and dignitaries. Just like at her parents' funeral, she couldn't get close to him.
When she came out of the bathroom, she saw him talking to a man. She stood in the distance and looked at him greedily. She wanted to see the six years that she had missed. She didn't know where she got the courage from, but she walked towards him.
She had so many things to ask him. She wanted to ask him how he had been all these years. Asking him if he had a girlfriend? She asked him … In the end, all the words she wanted to say were condensed into a single question. Back then, why didn't you show up for our date?
