n“Grandpa.”
nIf one were to say that Gu Yulin was really a good-for-nothing, he would change his ways every day.
nHowever, why did Old Master Gu dote on him the most?
nFirstly, he was the youngest in the third generation of the Gu family. Secondly, this guy was really filial.
nWhether it was to Old Master Gu or to his parents, he was really filial.
nBut he just couldn’t change his character.
nSeeing Old Master Gu’s pale and tottering face, he didn’t even care about his fear and directly pounced on him.
nHe held Old Master Gu with both hands, afraid that he would fall.
nBeing held by his grandson, Old Master Gu regained his composure and steadied himself. He shook his head at Qin Yiyi and Shang Jingheng.
n
n
n“I’m getting old. My body really can’t take it anymore.”
nHis tone was full of exhaustion!
nGu Yulin couldn’t stand such words. He retorted without thinking, “Grandpa, you’re not getting old. If we walk on the streets, people will definitely say that you’re my brother.”
n“Brat, you have no manners.”
nOld Master Gu reached out and patted Gu Yulin’s head. His voice was a little tired.
n“Whenever you can save me some trouble, I’ll be able to live for a few more years.”
nGu Yulin was silent for a moment. “Grandpa, I’m not going to take the blame for this. Go look for my father, second uncle, and the others.”
nOld Master Gu ignored him. Instead, he looked at Qin Yiyi, who had washed her hands and returned.
n“Miss Qin, how are you?” He had heard that there could be some sort of backlash. He didn’t want to harm this little girl again because of this matter.
nQin Yiyi raised her eyebrows and smiled lightly.
n“Old Master, you’re worrying too much. I only found the thing that the other party used to set up the trap. I haven’t solved it yet.”
n“Ah, you haven’t solved it yet. Then will my luck be bad?”
nGu Yulin suddenly jumped up. “No, no, Grandpa, let’s hurry and leave this place first.”
nOld Master Gu ignored him, but his gaze fell on Qin Yiyi.
n“Miss Qin?”
n“Let’s talk somewhere else.”
nQin Yiyi and Shang Jingheng took the lead and walked out.
nThe few of them returned to the place where they had spoken just now, and there was a moment of silence.
nQin Yiyi didn’t make a sound either.
nSuch a huge matter had happened, so she had to give the old man some time to digest it.
nOn the other hand, Shang Jingheng looked over quietly.
n“Grandpa Gu, if you don’t want to…”
n“No need, I’ll do it myself.”
nThis was a family matter of the Gu family.
nHe couldn’t let the Shang family kid get involved anymore. He already had enough trouble.
nHe picked up the tea beside him and took a sip. The old man smiled lightly.
n“I’m not too old to be unable to move, and I’m not too old to be able to deal with a few small fries.”
nQin Yiyi thought about it and said that it was probably not some small fries that could set up a trap in such a secret place.
nIt must have been highly trusted or valued by Old Master Gu..
nHowever, she smiled when the words reached her mouth. “Old Master Gu’s pulse is a little unstable, and his qi and blood are unstable. I’ll prescribe medicine for Grandpa Gu for two days later.”
n“Then I’ll have to trouble you, Miss Qin.”
nAfter the scene just now, Old Master Gu naturally valued Qin Yiyi a little more.
nAt this moment, he unconsciously called her Miss Qin.
nQin Yiyi smiled. “Grandfather Gu, please call me Yiyi. Miss Qin sounds weird.”
n“Alright, then I’ll call you Yiyi in the future.”
nTurning around, he reminded Gu Yulin with a serious expression, “Yiyi will be your sister in the future. If she suffers any grievances outside, I’ll break your legs.”
nGu Yu Lin’s body trembled as he recalled the scene where his grandfather chased him for a few streets with a stick.
nHis scalp went numb!
nWithout thinking, he nodded. “Grandfather, don’t worry. This girl will be my biological sister from now on!”
nNo, she would be his ancestor!
nOld Master Gu shot him a warning glance and looked at Qin Yiyi with a light sigh.
n“If you can’t solve it, then don’t bother about it.”
nChildren and grandchildren will have their own blessings.
nJust take it as… the Gu family’s calamity.
n“Grandfather!”
nGu Yulin’s expression changed drastically. His eyes were anxious and anxious, but he was stopped by Old Master Gu with a wave of his hand.
n“Remember what grandfather said. Don’t do to others what you don’t want!”
nAlthough they were merchants, they would never be vague when it came to schemes and methods.
nBut the bottom line was that they must not cross it!
n“Grandfather Gu, don’t worry. This scheme is very simple. I can solve it, but…”
nShe paused for a moment, thinking about where to get another two pieces of good jade.
nBut Old Master Gu directly opened his mouth.
n“Just tell me what you need.”
nMoney and other things were all external things. It was not a problem for Old Master Gu to spend money to eliminate disasters.
n“I need a few pieces of good jade and a few copper coins. Forget it, I’ll think of a way to find them in the next two days.”
nIf it really didn’t work out, she would be an underground gentleman for once.
nOld Master Gu, on the other hand, ordered Gu Yu Lin without thinking, “Go and find the butler to open my storeroom and bring me that rectangular box.”
nGu Yulin’s eyes lit up when he heard this.
n“Grandpa, are you asking me to go to your private storeroom?”
nHe had long wanted to go to the old man’s private storeroom to look around, but it was a pity that his old man was very stingy.
nHe did not expect that today he would be blessed by this girl…
nGu Yulin and the butler quickly returned.
nIn their hands was indeed a rectangular box that was as long as an adult’s arm.
nWhen they opened it, there was a dazzling array of jades within. All of them were good items and were indeed worth quite a lot.
nUnfortunately, none of them were what Qin Yiyi wanted.
nShe shook her head and pushed them back, but Old Master Gu simply pushed them back.
n“Since it’s useless, then it means that they have no value. The jade in here is quite pleasing to the eye. Take them Yiyi and play with them.”
nThese words startled the butler who was standing at the side.
nThis box of jade…
nIn the middle, there were a few pieces that old master bought from thousands of miles away and kept as if they were treasures.
nNow, he said that he would give them away?
nHe was a little shocked. What had happened in the courtyard when he was not there just now?!
nQin Yiyi smiled and did not take them.
n“I don’t like these.”
nAlthough the jade that the old master had collected was good, in her eyes, it was just average.
nHowever, in the end, under the insistence of Old Master Gu, Qin Yiyi could only randomly choose a piece of jade to keep.
nWhen they were leaving, Old Master Gu remembered that Qin Yiyi liked tea, so he directly brought two catties for her.
nSeeing this, the corner of the old butler’s mouth twitched.
nOld Master Gu was giving away all his treasures.
nAfter Qin Yiyi and Shang Jingheng left, Old Master Gu glanced at Gu Yu Lin and suddenly ordered the butler, “Get someone to prepare the car. Lin Zi and I will go to the resort to stay for two days.”
nBefore leaving, the girl had said that it was better to stay away from the house for the time being.
n“Yes, yes. Grandfather, wait here. I will go and get the car.”
nGu Yulin, who had just sent the girl away and returned, just happened to hear this and nodded without thinking.
nHe even directly helped Old Master Gu out.
n“There’s no need for others to drive. I will drive. Grandfather, I will accompany you wherever you want to go.”
n“This time, I must have a good rest.”
nThe Gu family’s grandfather and grandson drove away from the old residence in an instant.
nQin Yiyi’s residence.
nShang Jingheng sat on the sofa and stared at her without blinking.
nQin Yiyi took two sips of tea and finally couldn’t hold it in.
n“Is there a flower on my face?”
nIf one were to say that there was a pretty face, it would be because of Shang Jingheng’s own face.
nHer face was also pretty, but she felt that it was not as good as his.
n“Are you really okay with the Gu family’s matters?”
nShang Jingheng still felt uneasy. He furrowed his brows and looked serious.
n“If you feel that it’s troublesome, then don’t bother.”
n“Grandpa Gu is not as useless as you think. He has a lot of connections.”
nQin Yiyi chuckled. “I know what to do.”
nShang Jingheng furrowed his brows and finally swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth,
n“Remember these words.”
nThe two of them came back after having lunch at the old residence.
nAt this moment, they were curled up on the sofa and basking in the sun. Qin Yiyi could not help but feel a little sleepy.
nHugging a doll’s small head, she looked extremely adorable.
n“Go to your room and sleep for a while. I’ll go back first. I’ll come over tomorrow to send you to school.”
n“No need.”
nQin Yi instantly sat up straight. Her big round eyes were full of energy.
n“You do your thing. I can do it myself. By the way, take Ding Yi back too. I really don’t need him to drive me back and forth.”
n“If you don’t need him here, then let him go and dig coal.”
nShang Jingheng said calmly, “He can’t even do a good job as a driver. I won’t keep him by my side either.”
nQin Yiyi, “…”
nWhat else could she say besides ‘let him stay’?
nShang Jingheng left Qin Yiyi’s residence and walked to the parking lot on the first floor.
nDing Yi was already walking over with a silly smile on his face.
n“Sir, where do you want to go? I’ll send you…”
nShang Jingheng didn’t say anything, but he sized him up with his deep eyes.
nDing Yi felt goosebumps all over as he looked at him. “Shang, Mr. Shang…”
n“Pick her up and send her off properly. If the driver can’t do his job well, then go and dig the coal by yourself.”
nDing Yi,”…” he had dug the coal countless times!
nQin Yiyi slept until the evening. She was woken up by the ringing of a phone.
nAfter looking at the caller ID, she immediately pressed the reject button.
nIt was already a little dark in the room. She sat up and turned on the light at the side.
nThe sunlight instantly illuminated the entire room.
nShe reached out and grabbed two handfuls of her hair. After washing her face, she came back and her phone rang again.
n
n
nShe sat on the sofa and stared blankly for a while.
nQin Yiyi looked at the phone that kept ringing and stopping. Finally, she picked it up.
nBefore she could speak, Mrs. Qin’s exasperated voice sounded from the other side,
n“Qin Yiyi, get your ass back home. Get your ass back here right now. Right now.”
nQin Yiyi’s voice was indifferent. “I’m already dead. I need to burn some paper.”
nShe hung up the phone with a thud and conveniently blacklisted Mrs. Qin’s number.
nOn the other side, Mrs. Qin’s phone had been busy all this time. She was so angry that she almost threw the phone in her hand out.
nThat wretched girl actually dared to hang up on her. She had no upbringing at all. Today, she had to let her know how to speak to her elders!
nOn the other side.
nQin Yiyi had already boarded the high-speed train to Shanghai..
