"Miss, Mr. Gu's phone..." The butler said, holding Qin Zhi'ai's hand to his ear.

  Qin Zhi'ai hadn't even spoken yet, and the voice on the other end of the line was already cold and impatient. "No need to let her answer the phone, I'm calling you, not looking for her. I just want to ask you to help me ask her how much she spent on medical expenses yesterday. I had my secretary send it over so that I wouldn't owe her anything, and she can stop bothering me."

  The "feed" in Qin Zhi'ai's mouth was suddenly blocked at the throat, and she didn't know how to respond to what he said to Guan Jia.

  The person on the other end of the phone, Gu Yu Sheng, waited for a while, but didn't wait for anyone to respond. It seemed that he had realized who answered the phone, and his tone became even colder: "I just said something, you heard it all, tell the housekeeper about the amount, let her tell me."

  Then the phone was cut off mercilessly.

  Qin Zhi'ai held the receiver, dazed for a moment before putting it down.

  The housekeeper saw her put down the receiver and immediately smiled: "Miss, what did Mr. Gu say to you? This is the first time Mr. Gu has called to ask about you... it seems that Mr. Gu also cares about you..."

  "Let's eat." Qin Zhi'ai interrupted the butler's words with a light expression and walked towards the dining hall first.

  Actually, when she went downstairs and heard the butler report her situation to him, she was a little pleased. She and the butler thought he was concerned about her... Actually not... He just wanted to give her medical expenses and better define boundaries with her.

  Maybe it's because she had too many daydreams, Qin Zhi'ai often lost her train of thought while eating and would occasionally think about things in the past.

  What happened later was much simpler than in the dream.

  It had been four years since she last saw Gu Yu Sheng. She didn't know where he went or what he was doing.

  She occasionally comes to stroll around the old house of Gu's family, but has never been lucky enough to run into him.

  Four years later, she was able to see him because his parents had died. She heard the news from Xu Wen Nuan, who of course had learned it from Wu Heng. Gu Yu Sheng's father had killed his mother and then poisoned himself.

  At that time, she was already in college and went to Shanghai for an exchange meeting. She learned that he had returned to Beijing for a funeral and rushed back to Beijing overnight to see him.

  The Gu family was a big and influential household, with many people. She came from a poor background and was unremarkable, so she couldn't even enter the Gu house. She stood guard outside the Gu house for three days and three nights, only catching a glimpse of him from afar. It wasn't until two years later that they met again.

  She followed her graduate teacher and had the good fortune to attend a charity dinner party.

  He happened to be there that day, wearing a tailored black suit, paired with the simplest white shirt, with neat collar and tight cuffs, looking elegant and noble.

  He was surrounded by many high-ranking officials and dignitaries, just like his parents' funeral, she couldn't even get close.

  Until she went to the restroom and came out, seeing him talking to a man, she stood far away, greedily looking at him, wanting to make up for those lost six years. Later, she didn't know where she got the courage from, but she rushed towards him.

  She had a lot of questions to ask him, asking if he was doing well these years? Asking if he had a girlfriend? Asking... In the end, all her words boiled down to one sentence: Back then, our date, why didn't you show up?
