Nanny Zhang followed Qin Zhi 'ai into the living room. "Old Master couldn't sleep at night and wanted to come out for a walk, so I brought the bracelet to you."
"Grandpa is here too?" Qin Zhi 'ai frowned slightly. Before Nanny Zhang could answer, the housekeeper handed a steaming cup of calming tea to Old Master Gu, who was sitting on the sofa.
Qin Zhi 'ai hurriedly said, "Grandpa."
"Yes." Old Master Gu's voice was muffled because he had taken a sip of tea. After he swallowed the tea, he said, "Why are you back so late?"
Old Master Gu then realized that something was wrong. He frowned and glanced out the French windows. When he didn't see Gu Yusheng's car, he continued to ask, "Where's Yusheng? Didn't he come back with you? "
Following Old Master Gu's series of questions, his expression became visibly displeased. "Is he still the same as before, leaving you alone at home and not coming home all day long without a care?"
"No …" Qin Zhi 'ai replied almost without hesitation.
The reason Gu Yusheng had put on such a serious act at the Gu Mansion tonight was to make Grandpa think that they were living in harmony.
If Grandpa knew that they weren't as friendly as they seemed, he would definitely blame Gu Yusheng. In the end, she would be the one to suffer.
Moreover, last month, he had cruelly slept with her and fed her pills, which was already a great insult to her. How could she dare to let Grandpa know the truth about their relationship and humiliate herself again?
Qin Zhi 'ai's mind raced as she tried to come up with an excuse. She smiled calmly at Old Master Gu and said, "Yusheng just received a call at the last minute saying that there was a problem at the company, so he had to work overtime.
"Yusheng originally wanted to send me home, but I wanted to take a walk, so I asked him to drop me off at the entrance of the neighborhood and walked back by myself."
In the face of Old Master Gu's thoughtful gaze, Qin Zhi 'ai was not the least bit nervous. She spoke unhurriedly with a calm expression, making it impossible to tell that she was lying. "Whenever Yusheng has nothing to do, he goes home. If you don't believe me, you can ask the housekeeper."
As she spoke, Qin Zhi 'ai gave the housekeeper a look.
The butler immediately echoed, "Yes, sir. Mr. Gu always goes home when he's not busy."
"That's good …" Upon hearing the housekeeper's words, Old Master Gu's expression finally softened. As he spoke, he stood up and said, "I didn't come here for anything. I just wanted to wander around. It's getting late, so I should head back now."
Qin Zhi 'ai knew that Old Master Gu had been deceived by her, so she breathed a sigh of relief. "Grandpa, let me see you off."
…
Qin Zhi 'ai stood at the door and watched Old Master Gu's car drive out of the hospital before she went back upstairs.
The housekeeper made Qin Zhi 'ai a cup of warm milk before leaving the house to lock the gate. Unexpectedly, Old Master Gu's car was still parked outside.
Before the housekeeper could react, Old Master Gu's car window wound down and Nanny Zhang called out in a low voice, "Xiao Yang, Old Master is looking for you."
The butler hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully called into the carriage, "Sir."
