âWhat happened? Why are you bleeding so much?â The housekeeper couldnât take care of Qin Zhiâai at this moment. She walked past the front of the car, ran to the passenger side and asked, âHow did you get hurt after going out for such a short time? This wound is deep. Itâs going to get infected easily. Mr. Gu, did you call your doctor?â the housekeeper nagged.
She didnât realize that she needed to call the doctor until she finished her last question. She immediately took out her cell phone from her pocket. âIâm going to call Dr. Luo and ask him to come as soon as possible.â
As the housekeeper called the doctor, she moved away the car door. âMr. Gu, can you get out of the car first? Iâll get some medicine for you to stop bleeding.â
Gu Yusheng glanced at Qin Zhiâai, who the housekeeper didnât have time to take care of at that moment. He frowned hard, turned around, and snapped at the housekeeper, âWhat are you doing with me? Whatâs the worst that could happen to me? Just take care of her.â
The housekeeper was spooked by Gu Yushengâs 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. âWhat 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. Donât let her run out and cause trouble for me again.â
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 wasnât on the first floor by the time Qin Zhiâai and the housekeeper made it inside the house.
Both Qin Zhiâai 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 wasnât in a good mood when he got home.
Gu Yusheng had ordered the housekeeper to have Qin Zhiâai eat something first, so she took Qin Zhiâai to the dining room after they were inside the house.
Qin Zhiâai had stayed in Gu Yushengâs house for a while and learned that the housekeeper would get scolded if she didnât do as he asked. Even though she wasnât 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 Zhiâai put the spoon down but didnât leave the dining room immediately. Instead, she sat there for a while and asked the housekeeper, âDidnât you say you would call Dr. Luo?â
The housekeeper looked hesitant, âYes, but Mr. Guâ¦â
Qin Zhiâai knew what the housekeeper worried about. Without Gu Yushengâs permission, she might be scolded if she called Dr. Luo on her own. Qin Zhiâai slightly pressed her lips together. She looked like she had made a decision. She said in a low voice, âCan you call Dr. Luo now? If he asks about it, you can tell him that I asked you to do so.â
âMiss, you know Mr. Guâs temper.â The housekeeper was not fully convinced yet.
âDonât worry. You can call the doctor now.â Qin Zhiâai 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 Zhiâai didnât 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 Zhiâai walked to the master bedroom, she noticed the guest roomâs door was open.
She couldnât help peeking at the guest room as she walked to the master bedroom and readied herself to push the door open.
