Housekeeper: "None."
Qin Zhi'ai didn't say a word and quietly turned around and left.
-
It's already 1 o'clock in the morning, I'm afraid Gu Yusheng won't be back tonight either.
It has been a month since he left home after instructing the housekeeper to watch her take birth control pills that day.
That day when he left, he asked the housekeeper to pass on a message to her, saying that whether there was something or not, don't bother him, and she really didn't bother him again.
So for this whole month, they haven't even seen each other's faces, let alone make a phone call.
Qin Zhi Ai stared at the European grandfather clock not far away, which pointed to one o'clock, and was stunned for a long time before slowly moving her line of sight back to the TV screen. Inside, her favorite star's movie was playing, but she had lost the mood to continue watching, so she simply turned off the TV and got up to go upstairs.
Perhaps it was just after looking at the time downstairs, thinking of Gu Yu Sheng's affairs, Qin Zhi Ai lay on the bed in the bedroom, unable to fall asleep immediately. She closed her eyes and thought wildly for a while, and finally felt sleepy. Just as she had barely fallen asleep, the landline phone on the bedside table rang.
The phone call was from the Gu family's old house, Qin Zhi'ai answered it. Inside came the voice of Zhang Mama, the nanny who had been working for the Gu family for over 20 years: "Madam, I'm really sorry to disturb you so late, but Mr. Gu just called and said he'll be taking an early flight back to Beijing today. He wants you and little master to come to the old house for dinner tonight..."
Zhang Ma listened to Mr. Gu's orders and was probably the only one in the Gu family who dared to disobey Gu Yusheng's meaning, calling her "Young Madam".
"And don't forget to tell Young Master over there..."
Gu Yu Sheng once said, don't bother him with things or nothing... Qin Zhi Ai subconsciously wanted to speak up and ask Zhang Ma to call Gu Yu Sheng, but as the words reached her lips, she remembered the warning he gave her on the day she moved into his house.
He said that his grandfather was the only relative he had in this world, and if it weren't for her using some despicable means to coax his grandfather into making him live with her, he wouldn't even bother to look at her, let alone let her move into his house!
He also said that it's best not to let Grandpa know about their bad relationship. If Grandpa gets worried because of this, he will definitely not let her off!
She lives in Gu Yu Sheng's house, but lets Zhang Ma call him. Isn't this clearly telling Zhang Ma that her relationship with Gu Yu Sheng is very bad? And Zhang Ma has served Grandpa for so many years...
Qin Zhi Ai struggled for a moment before swallowing her words, replacing them with: "Zhang Ma, I understand, I'll tell Yu Sheng."
Hanging up the phone, Qin Zhi'ai leaned against the headboard, holding her mobile phone to find Gu Yusheng's phone number, hesitated for a while before dialing out.
As the dial tone came from the phone receiver, Qin Zhi'ai's tense breathing stopped.
One ring, two rings, three rings... The fourth ring hadn't even sounded when the phone was ruthlessly cut off at the other end.
Gu Yu Sheng rejected her call...
Qin Zhi Ai pursed her lips and stopped calling Gu Yu Sheng, instead sending him a text message.
The screen still didn't show the "message delivered" reminder, so Qin Zhi'ai had to call Gu Yu Sheng again. This time, instead of the phone connecting, she heard a busy tone.
