Chapter 71
The housekeeper was confused, but before she asked what the number meant, Qin Zhi’ai added, “You call him and tell him.”
Then she turned around and walked upstairs before the housekeeper could respond.

Because Qin Zhi’ai was hurt, she couldn’t attend any promotional activities and only rested at home.
In the past two days, Qin Zhi’ai hadn’t slept well at night. Three or four days after the accident, the less severe bruises began to heal, and the pain gradually disappeared.
Seven days later, Qin Zhi’ai went to the hospital for an examination, confirming that the wound on her calf had healed very quickly. After the stitches were taken out, a twisted, ugly scar was left on her calf.
Seven days ago, on Old Master Gu’s birthday, she hadn’t been able to celebrate with him because of Jiang Qianqian.
When Liang Doukou had left Beijing, she had told her to ingratiate herself with Old Master Gu, so Qin Zhi’ai drove directly to the Gu Mansion from the hospital.
Qin Zhi’ai didn’t tell Old Master Gu that she was coming. When she arrived there, it was just twelve o’clock in the afternoon, but they had finished lunch already.
Old Master Gu was very happy to see her, so he let her sit down and chat with him and asked the housekeeper to prepare her favorite dishes.
Her favorite dishes were actually Liang Doukou’s favorite dishes.
Then he realized that Qin Zhi’ai had gone there alone, so he asked, “Why did you suddenly come here today? Does Yusheng know that you’re here?”
“He went to the company, and he doesn’t know that I’m here.” After saying that, Qin Zhi’ai found that she was an expert at lying.
She hadn’t seen Gu Yusheng for several days; how could she know his agenda?
During the days she disguised herself as Liang Doukou, she improved both her acting skills and her lying skills.
Qin Zhi’ai mocked herself in her heart, then lowered her eyes to make her expression more calm and natural. “I just felt bored at home this morning, thinking that I had to leave early on your birthday because I felt sick, so I decided to come over and see you.”
“You’re still more considerate than Yusheng.” Hearing what Qin Zhi’ai had said, Old Master Gu grinned ear to ear, then seemed to remember something and shouted toward the kitchen, “Nanny Zhang, prepare some dishes that Yusheng likes.”
With Nanny Zhang’s confirmation, Old Master Gu turned his head and looked at Qin Zhi’ai, saying, “Having your lunch alone will be very boring, but Nanny Zhang will pack it for you. You can take it to the company and eat it with Yusheng.”
Take lunch to Gu Yusheng?
The most annoying thing to Gu Yusheng was that she had shown up in front of him, but grandfather was asking her to take lunch to Gu Yusheng’s company and eat with him, which only meant trouble for her.
