Chapter 291: Chapter 292: Happy Birthday
After a while, she still cautiously snuck glances at her beloved grandson, “Then… for grandma’s sake, would you accompany grandma to the birthday banquet hall?”
The Qin family’s elder lady appeared to say this on the surface, but in reality, she hoped that the grandson and grandmother could get along harmoniously.
However, Qin Sijue saw through her thoughts.
His response was just as succinct, “No go!”
The elder lady felt helpless, and even Feng Jinglei at the side was somewhat at a loss.
If he were to stay here the whole time, and she and grandma went out, then Weiwei still wouldn’t be able to leave this place.
Thinking this, Feng Jinglei couldn’t help but add, “Jue, today is grandma’s eightieth birthday. No matter what, you should go to the banquet hall for the sake of grandma’s birthday.”
Qin Sijue lifted his eyes, gave a glance at Feng Jinglei, then turned towards the elder lady.
The elder lady hurriedly nodded, as if in agreement with her daughter-in-law’s words.
Two seconds later, all Qin Sijue said solemnly was, “Grandma.”
“Hmm?” The elder lady looked at her grandson fondly.
After speaking, Qin Sijue leisurely sat there, casually picked up a magazine to read, and completely ignored the other two who were still stunned.
Afterward, the elder lady let out a long sigh and played the sympathy card as she walked, “Sigh… both of my sons and daughters-in-law passed away prematurely. Now on my eightieth birthday, even my grandson is unwilling to stay by my side…”
As she said this, she discreetly glanced back at Qin Sijue on the sofa.
All she saw was him remaining completely indifferent, leisurely continuing to read the magazine in his hand.
Alright, the sympathy card was of no use either!
Ultimately, she could only lead the daughter-in-law with her as they walked toward the direction of the banquet hall.
Upon leaving, Feng Jinglei still anxiously looked back in the direction of the second floor.
Within the Qin Mansion, including the servants, everyone was rather busy. After they left, only the two of them would be remaining in the whole house.
Feng Jinglei couldn’t help but think, what if Jue discovered Weiwei’s existence? Could he really chop her up in a fit of anger?
With that thought, Feng Jinglei couldn’t help but swallow nervously!
After the two of them left, Qin Sijue just sat on the sofa, boredly flipping through the magazine.
If it wasn’t for his grandmother’s eightieth birthday, he truly had no intention of coming over.
Such a banquet was extremely dull for him.
Upstairs, Gu Qiangwei just stood there quietly, somewhat lost in thought as she watched him below.
Indistinctly, Qin Sijue still felt a pair of eyes staring at him from upstairs!
He paused in his magazine flipping and then suddenly looked up towards the second floor.
Noticing his movement, Gu Qiangwei quickly crouched down, burying her whole self behind the railing, and thus managed to stay unseen by him.
She inwardly exclaimed.
Yet, before her thoughts could settle, the sudden sound of crisp footsteps came from the stairs…
She looked up in shock, turning her head towards the stairwell, the footsteps drawing ever nearer, and her heart thumped wildly, as if it was about to leap out of her chest.
Wearing glossy, handcrafted, genuine leather shoes, Qin Sijue ascended the stairs, one step at a time.
He always felt there was someone upstairs, and it wasn’t just his imagination.
Reaching the second floor, the silent corridor was empty. He frowned slightly and walked towards the passage leading to the balcony.
By then, Gu Qiangwei had already quickly hidden in the master bedroom, leaning against the door, gasping for breath.
Why did he come upstairs? Could it be that he had discovered her?
