âBesides, I remember that before Xiaokou left, she told you that all you needed to do was maintain a good relationship with Old Master Gu and never mess with Gu Yusheng.â
Hearing that, Qin Zhiâai finally understood what she was trying to say.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Zhou Jing had seen Gu Yusheng in the hospital today, so she was worried that something had happened between Qin Zhiâai and him, which might impede Liang Doukou acting as Mrs. Gu.
âYou misunderstood. Today is Old Master Guâs birthday, and when Gu Yusheng and I were on our way to celebrate with him, we got in a car accident. I saved him.â Qin Zhiâai only told her what she cared about the most.
Zhou Jing nodded after a while and turned her head to smile at Qin Zhiâai, saying, âOkay, I just want to remind you of the promise you made to us. For your loans to be paid every month, you still need to get that money from Xiaokou.â
Qin Zhiâai was well aware of the warning in her seemingly gentle words.
If she wanted to get money from Liang Doukou, she had to keep away from Gu Yusheng.
She curved her fingertips and nodded calmly. âI know.â
After a short pause, Qin Zhiâai continued, âIf thereâs nothing else, Iâll just be off.â
âOkay, bye.â
âBye.â Qin Zhiâai closed the door and walked into the yard of the villa before Zhou Jing had driven away.

Completely exhausted by the ups and downs of the night, with wounds all over her, Qin Zhiâai stepped into the bedroom. Because she wasnât allowed to take a shower, she directly got into bed after taking the pills prescribed by the hospital and immediately fell asleep.
The pain increased in the night, so she couldnât sleep well and woke up several times. After midnight, she finally fell asleep again and had a dream about the past days.
â¦
How did the saying go?
The more you expect, the more you will be disappointed.
Itâs true! Qin Zhiâai thought.
The day that Gu Yusheng and Qin Zhiâai were supposed to see a movie together was on the weekend, the hottest day yet that summer.
The prearranged time was three oâclock in the afternoon, but Qin Zhiâai set off at one oâclock, the hottest time on the hottest day since summer had come.
When she arrived at the cinema by bus, it was only a quarter to two, leaving an hour and fifteen minutes before Gu Yusheng would come.
She wasnât allowed to enter the cinema without a ticket, but she wasnât sure which movie Gu Yusheng wanted to watch, so she waited in the shade.
It was very hot outside, and she sweat a lot, but she didnât feel uncomfortable at all. On the contrary, as time got closer to three oâclock, she became even more excited and nervous. When it was only ten minutes to three, she blushed, thinking that she would see Gu Yusheng soon.
