Gu Yu Sheng had tied his tie several times but still couldn't get it right. When he heard Guan's words, he suddenly remembered the conversation they had just had in the sunroom upstairs. His hand trembled and the knot that was almost tied came undone again.
The housekeeper stood behind Gu Yu Sheng, unable to see his expression. Seeing that he didn't speak, she asked again: "Or perhaps, Mr. Gu, you could wait a bit longer until the young lady finishes rehearsing her script and then have dinner together?"
The housekeeper's words had not yet fallen, when Gu Yusheng suddenly pulled off his tie and slammed it against the handrail of the stairs, shouting loudly: "What to eat? Who wants to have dinner with her?"
The housekeeper was so frightened that she immediately fell silent, and didn't even dare to breathe.
"From now on, don't let her appear at the dinner table when I'm eating! It's annoying to look at! And you, stop mentioning her in front of me all the time, it's also annoying to hear!" Gu Yu Sheng turned his head and glared fiercely at the butler, scaring him so much that he trembled all over. Then, with a gloomy expression on his handsome face, he strode rapidly towards the entrance, changed his shoes, didn't say a word, and stormed out of the door in a huff.
When he closed the door, his strength was particularly great, slamming the door with a deafening "bang", and even the glass in the window shook slightly, making a rattling sound.
……
Qin Zhi'ai in the sunny room upstairs clearly heard what Gu Yu Sheng said.
She gripped the script tightly in her hand, suddenly increasing her strength, and spent a sleepless night on the rattan chair. Her face turned even paler than before.
It wasn't until the sound of Gu Yu's car engine faded away that Qin Zhi'ai slowly blinked, came back to her senses, and then she suddenly realized that her hand holding the script was shaking violently, with blue veins bulging out.
She made a great effort to regain her usual composure and calmness, but as she gazed down at the script with her eyelids lowered, there was still a hint of tears in her eyes, which she couldn't hold back, slowly falling down.

After having breakfast, Qin Zhi Ai went back to the master bedroom and took a nap.
After lunch, she sat in front of the dresser, retouched her simple makeup from this morning, then changed into a white long dress and went downstairs.
Liáng Dòu Kòu attends a socialite gathering every now and then.
That gathering, according to Zhou Jing, was initially organized by Liang Doukou.
It's called a socialite gathering, but in reality it's just daughters of wealthy families getting together, seemingly to enjoy afternoon tea and leisurely time, but actually to show off their wealth and compare with each other.
Qin Zhi'ai was very unaccustomed to such gatherings, but she also couldn't let Liang Doukou accept tumor treatment without attending such gatherings at all. So Zhou Jing still let Qin Zhi'ai make an occasional appearance from time to time.
