“What happened? Why are you bleeding so much?” The housekeeper couldn’t take care of Qin Zhi’ai at this moment. She walked past the front of the car, ran to the passenger side and asked, “How did you get hurt after going out for such a short time? This wound is deep. It’s going to get infected easily. Mr. Gu, did you call your doctor?” the housekeeper nagged.

She didn’t realize that she needed to call the doctor until she finished her last question. She immediately took out her cell phone from her pocket. “I’m going to call Dr. Luo and ask him to come as soon as possible.”

As the housekeeper called the doctor, she moved away the car door. “Mr. Gu, can you get out of the car first? I’ll get some medicine for you to stop bleeding.”

Gu Yusheng glanced at Qin Zhi’ai, who the housekeeper didn’t have time to take care of at that moment. He frowned hard, turned around, and snapped at the housekeeper, “What are you doing with me? What’s the worst that could happen to me? Just take care of her.”

The housekeeper was spooked by Gu Yusheng’s scolding and stepped back a bit. She immediately shut her mouth, not daring to say a word.

Gu Yusheng got out of the car with a gloomy look. He slammed the door shut and walked to the house in long strides. As he walked by the housekeeper, he gave her a dirty look. After he passed the housekeeper, he stopped, turned around, and talked to her with a nasty tone. “What are you standing there for? Take her to her room and make sure she gets some food. Go back to her room now. Watch her. Don’t let her run out and cause trouble for me again.”

After hearing what Gu Yusheng had said, the housekeeper immediately ran to the passenger side of the car.

Seeing the housekeeper finally take action, he turned around to walk back to the house.

…

Gu Yusheng wasn’t on the first floor by the time Qin Zhi’ai and the housekeeper made it inside the house.

Both Qin Zhi’ai and the housekeeper were worried about Gu Yusheng, but neither of them dared to go upstairs to check on him, since he had thrown a temper and wasn’t in a good mood when he got home.

Gu Yusheng had ordered the housekeeper to have Qin Zhi’ai eat something first, so she took Qin Zhi’ai to the dining room after they were inside the house.

Qin Zhi’ai had stayed in Gu Yusheng’s house for a while and learned that the housekeeper would get scolded if she didn’t do as he asked. Even though she wasn’t hungry, she still took a seat at the dinner table. She looked obedient with a spoon in her hand and ate almost half bowl of porridge.

Qin Zhi’ai put the spoon down but didn’t leave the dining room immediately. Instead, she sat there for a while and asked the housekeeper, “Didn’t you say you would call Dr. Luo?”

The housekeeper looked hesitant, “Yes, but Mr. Gu…”

Qin Zhi’ai knew what the housekeeper worried about. Without Gu Yusheng’s permission, she might be scolded if she called Dr. Luo on her own. Qin Zhi’ai slightly pressed her lips together. She looked like she had made a decision. She said in a low voice, “Can you call Dr. Luo now? If he asks about it, you can tell him that I asked you to do so.”

“Miss, you know Mr. Gu’s temper.” The housekeeper was not fully convinced yet.

“Don’t worry. You can call the doctor now.” Qin Zhi’ai gave the housekeeper a smile to ensure her.

The housekeeper hesitated for a full minute before she made a phone call from the landline.

Qin Zhi’ai didn’t stand up from the chair to go upstairs until the housekeeper had hung up the phone.

The guest room was across the hallway from the master bedroom. Before Qin Zhi’ai walked to the master bedroom, she noticed the guest room’s door was open.

She couldn’t help peeking at the guest room as she walked to the master bedroom and readied herself to push the door open.
