Qin Sijue came to a halt and turned to stare at the speaking Li Yuan, a slight frown creasing his brow, “Discharged?”
Li Yuan was equally astonished, “Wasn’t it you who picked her up?”
Qin Sijue lowered his eyelids and remained silent.
Half a second later, he turned around, went back to the elevator, and left the hospital.
After being discharged, Gu Qiangwei first went back to her company to inquire about the address and time for her meeting with President Huang that evening.
Then she took another half-day off and left the company.
It was clearly not okay not to have a mobile phone and wallet; now she had to find out what that man’s name was.
That’s right, go to the hospital to find Li Yuan!
With this thought, Gu Qiangwei made another trip to the hospital and found Li Yuan, from whom she learned that the man’s name was Qin Sijue.
“You’re looking for Sijue?”
She indeed needed to find Qin Sijue to retrieve her luggage!
Li Yuan looked at her and suddenly smiled, “Let me take you there!”
For the penniless Gu Qiangwei, this was an offer too good to refuse.
“You’re welcome. Sijue’s matters are my matters.”
What did he mean by Sijue’s matters? It was her matter, wasn’t it?
In forty minutes, the car arrived at Jueyuan, standing majestically on the mid-mountain slope.
The mansion, grand and imposing, still stood under the blue sky and beside the blue sea, a sight of breathtaking beauty.
In the luxurious living room, an elderly woman dressed in vintage clothing stood in the center and announced loudly, “Tonight, I will invite all the unmarried young ladies of Jingcheng to my grandson’s Jueyuan for a ball!”
Sitting on the sofa, Qin Sijue rubbed his forehead, a terrible headache coming on.
The old butler glanced at Qin Sijue, then at the elderly lady, and couldn’t help but interject, “Madam, the entire Jingcheng’s unmarried ladies might be too many for Jueyuan to accommodate.”
The elderly lady paused, “That’s true, then I will just invite the fine young ladies and maidens I know.”
“Aye!” The butler responded cheerfully, only to catch Qin Sijue’s sharp gaze and quickly wiped the smile off his face!
Qin Sijue stood up and looked at the elderly Madam Qin in the living room.
Upon locking eyes with her grandson, the elderly lady seemed to recall something in an instant, “Oh, I nearly forgot; you don’t like others coming to your Jueyuan. Would it be better if I hosted the ball at our mansion instead?”
“As you wish, I won’t be attending anyway.”
Qin Sijue clarified his stance and sat back down on the sofa!
The elderly lady immediately put on a stern face, “This ball is for you, and if you don’t attend, should I, an old lady, be left to dance and prance with those maidens?”
“If that’s the case, you can simply not host it.”
“How can we not host it?” The elderly lady immediately put on an aggrieved look, as if on the brink of tears, “Sijue, you have no idea; one of my old friends has already cuddled two great-grandchildren. You must at least let me cuddle one, or else… I will die with my eyes open!”
As she spoke, the elderly lady even pouted her lips, behaving like a petulantly angry child!
“Grandma, I’m only twenty-six!”
“What about twenty-six? The grandson of my old friend got married at twenty-four and had twins!”
Qin Sijue felt the headache intensifying.
“Anyway, it’s settled then! If you’re not at the ball by seven tomorrow evening, I’ll… I’ll die right before your eyes!”
“Are you threatening me?”
“Yes, I’m threatening you!”
With that, the elderly lady strutted out with her head held high and chest puffed out! The butler hurried forward to see her out.
Just reaching the entrance, a red Ferrari stopped in the yard.
The elderly lady paid it no mind and directly climbed into the extended Rolls-Royce, driving off into the distance.
