When Gu Yusheng answered the phone, his fingertip accidentally touched the speakerphone key, and the secretaryâs respectful voice blared out of the phone. âMaster Gu, when will you be back home? Everyone is still waiting for you at the meeting.â
Waiting for him at the meeting⦠Qin Zhiâai turned to Gu Yusheng and took a look at him.
Gu Yusheng answered âohâ and remembered that when he had received the phone call from Liang Doukou, he had been so anxious that he had forgotten to dismiss everyone.
As he turned the phone off of speakerphone, he said into the microphone, âI have something else to deal with here. You can inform them that the meeting is finished.â
Without the amplified sound, Qin Zhiâai couldnât hear what the secretary said. After a while, Gu Yusheng said, âIs it this evening? Refuse it, um⦠about which day? Iâm not sure. Iâll check it later⦠Okayâ¦â
After Gu Yusheng hung up, Qin Zhiâai peeked at him several times. Finally, she still couldnât help asking, âJust now, before you came here, were you in a meeting?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Gu Yusheng was a little surprised at the fact that she knew. Frowning slightly for a minute, he thought that maybe she had guessed it from the secretaryâs words. Then he nodded, looked at the traffic in front of him, and said, âYes.â
It turned out that he had been in a meeting when he had suddenly received her phone call. Without explaining anything to the companyâs staff, he had rushed over.
She had examined her call record and found Zhou Jing had called Gu Yusheng about twenty minutes before Lin Yiâs disturbance had been settled, so it had taken Gu Yusheng no more than twelve or thirteen minutes to arrive at the place where she was being photographed.
He must have been very worried on the road.
However⦠He doesnât know that his worry, his anger after he arrived, and his unconditional support were in return responded to with a trick for personal gain.
Qin Zhiâai, who had originally been uncomfortable, became even more upset. She even grew annoyed.
If I had seen through Zhou Jingâs trick earlier, he wouldnât have been taken advantage of by herâ¦
Holding her bag in her hand forcefully, Qin Zhiâai sat quietly in the passenger seat with her eyes lowered for a long time before she calmed down.
She thought that what happened that day was just the beginning. Later, Zhou Jing would definitely try her best to attain greater benefits and glory for Liang Doukou using him.
He was the man whom she had loved for so many years. Even if Zhou Jing had threatened her, she still couldnât pretend to know nothing and let him be deceived and used.
Moreover, Gu Yusheng, who had disregarded Liang Doukou in the past, had now changed his attitude because for her sakeâ¦
Thinking about this, Qin Zhiâai felt more regretful and guilty. She wanted to talk to him, so she raised her eyes and looked at Gu Yushengâs profile through the rearview mirror. Pondering for a moment, she chose the most appropriate wording, saying, âActually, there are always some scuffles in the entertainment industry. You donât have to take it so seriouslyâ¦â
However, todayâs situation seemed to have been a bit dangerous. Lin Yi attacked meâ¦
Pausing for several seconds, Qin Zhiâai continued, âThe chances of an accident like what happened today are actually very low. Lin Yi was probably in a bad mood, so her emotions were out of controlââ
âLin Yi?â Qin Zhiâai had said many words, but Gu Yusheng had only caught two words, Lin Yi. âIs she the same Lin Yi who took away your role and wanted to take your place?â
After being interrupted by him, Qin Zhiâai turned her head and glanced at him, puzzled. âHow do you know about that?â
