17 I Will Treat You Well 7 (1/2)

Qin Zhi'ai called up the mansion, and it was shortly picked up by Nanny Zhang. ”Good afternoon, this is the Gu Mansion.”

Qin Zhi'ai greeted Nanny Zhang first before she addressed her agenda, ”Is Grandpa home?”

”Old Master? Yes, he was resting. I'll get him.” As soon as Nanny Zhang finished her sentence, Qin Zhi'ai could hear a series of footsteps fading away into the background. The conversation came from afar, and she could vaguely hear Nanny Zhang telling Grandpa, ”It's a call from Young Mistress.”

After a short while, Old Master Gu picked up the phone,”Xiaokou.”

Qin Zhi'ai still could not get used to anyone addressing her as ”Miss Liang” or ”Xiaokou,” even though she had been acting as Liang Doukou for more than a month. Her response was always slow by half a beat whenever someone was looking for Liang Doukou.

It was no exception this time around. Qin Zhi'ai hastily reacted to Grandpa after a short pause. ”Grandpa,” she went straight to the point, ”Yusheng called me earlier on and said that you wanted us to attend a charity dinner tonight together.”

After a short halt, she continued, ”But I'm so sorry Grandpa. I'm leaving for the States tonight as I will be doing some shootings from tomorrow onwards, so I probably have to miss tonight's dinner.”

On the other side of the phone, Old Master Ku paused for very long before he uttered, ”Xiaokou, is Yusheng stopping you from coming?”

”No, no, Grandpa, it was really a coincidence,” she tried to say coquettishly, ”The filming was set in stone for quite some time. If you don't believe me, you can check the news. I couldn't lie to you if there weren't any shootings.”

Old Master Gu was amused by Qin Zhi'ai and let out a laugh. ”Of course, work comes first. I'm just worried that you're being bullied by that fellow, Gu Yusheng. In the end, it just means more unhappiness between the two of you.”

Qin Zhi'ai hung up the phone after their conversation. She went straight to her room upstairs to start packing her luggage.
