Bai Lu also hurriedly stood up and called out.
Shen Qinghe stepped forward, took Gu Shiyan’s coat from his hand, and handed it to the servant. Then she supported his arm. “Your health hasn’t recovered yet. You should listen and avoid going out to work.”
Gu Shiyan : ????
Shen Qinghe pinched his arm directly and gave him a glare, signaling him to cooperate.
These two people definitely had some ulterior motives. He had to put on an act first and see what they were up to.
Gu Shiyan’s lips twitched in resignation as he reluctantly played along, pretending to be weak as Shen Qinghe helped him sit on the sofa.
Meanwhile, Grandma Gu took the opportunity to pick up a soft pillow from the sofa and placed it behind him for support.
Then she instructed the servant to bring a small woolen blanket to cover him.
With a concerned look, she asked, “Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? Should I call a doctor to check on you?”
Gu Shiyan : .
Were his mother and grandmother in cahoots, putting on a show together?
There was no need for it, really.
He replied helplessly, “I’m fine, no need.”
On the side, Shen Qinghe gave him a disdainful look, implying that he should cooperate. His acting skills were truly lacking, and he hadn’t inherited that trait from her.
Fortunately, it was the third son who entered the entertainment industry; otherwise, with Gu Shiyan’s acting skills, he would starve to death if he entered the entertainment industry.
Gu Mingzhe was a little confused. He secretly observed Gu Shiyan several times. Although his complexion couldn’t be described as rosy, when he entered just now, his footsteps were strong, and he appeared to be in good spirits. He didn’t seem seriously ill at all.
But Shen Qinghe and Grandma Gu looked extremely nervous.
So, what was the current situation with Gu Shiyan?
Had that thing been exposed or not?
Thinking of the task given to him before coming here.
Just as he was about to observe more carefully, he happened to meet Gu Shiyan’s cold and piercing gaze.
Although he didn’t have any extra expression on his face, that gaze made it seem as if he had been completely seen through.
He couldn’t help but shudder and forced himself to smile stiffly, “I see that Ah Yan is in good spirits. It’s beneficial to occasionally go out and work, treating it as a form of exercise, which will aid in recovery.”
Gu Shiyan looked at him with an indifferent expression and said, “Thank you, Third Uncle, for your concern.”
Gu Mingzhe waved his hand hurriedly, “No need to be polite. I can’t help with other matters as your Third Uncle, but it’s only natural for me to care about you.”
While the two of them were talking, a servant came over and said that the ancestral hall had been tidied up.
Bai Lu quickly stood up and said, “You can continue talking; I’ll go pay respects to our ancestors and be right back.”
Gu Shiyan lowered his eyes slightly, gently rubbing the wooden prayer beads in his fingertips, and didn’t stop her, seemingly indifferent to the matter.
Shen Qinghe also stood up with a smile and said, “I’ll accompany you.”
Bai Lu couldn’t refuse, so she went along with Shen Qinghe towards the exit.
They went around the small garden and entered the ancestral hall.
Bai Lu walked straight to the table, reached out to the other side, and picked up the incense, pretending to kneel on the cushion and offer three bows.
Taking advantage of this moment, she quickly looked up at the neatly arranged tablets on the table in front of her.
It seemed that there was no difference from what she had seen last time. There didn’t appear to be any signs of disturbance.
She focused on the one in the middle.
However, that tablet was originally small, and with Shen Qinghe standing beside her, she couldn’t lean forward to get a closer look. She couldn’t make out anything significant.
After hesitating for a moment, she stood up slowly, placed the lit incense in the incense burner, and quickly reached into her pocket..
