"What happened then?" the old lady asked anxiously. Although Gu Qiangwei was now safely in front of her, the moment she heard about the near miss of being pushed down the stairs, her heart still uncontrollably skipped a beat!
"Then I..." She pursed her lips and glanced at the old lady and Li Yuan, hesitating to continue.
"In a fit of anger, I pushed her down..."
She thought that after hearing about this action of hers, both the old lady and Li Yuan would look at her with astonishment.
But Li Yuan commented, "Well done!"
Then, he even gave a thumbs up, affirming Gu Qiangwei’s actions!
Gu Qiangwei was stunned for a moment, then a shallow smile spread across her face.
The old lady also felt very pleased after hearing the whole story.
Some people, especially someone as intractable as Nangong Feifei, needed to be dealt with just like that—to taste what it was like to be suppressed!
Upon arriving at the Commander Residence, Li Yuan prescribed some medicine for Gu Qiangwei’s bruises and injuries, which would ensure a full recovery in no more than three days after application.
At noon, Gu Qiangwei still took a photo and sent it to Qin Sijue.
After waiting awhile, there was still no response from the other side.
Sitting on the sofa, her face inevitably began to look a bit gloomy.
Noticing this, the old lady came over and sat by her, "Granddaughter-in-law, what’s the matter?"
Seeing her downcast, she thought perhaps Gu Qiangwei was uncomfortable staying at the Commander Residence.
Hearing the old lady’s voice, Gu Qiangwei looked up and smiled at her, "It’s nothing."
"But if grandma sees you’re unhappy, is it because you’re not used to staying here?" Zhuang Yanyan asked with a kind and affable expression, gazing at her.
Hearing this, Gu Qiangwei hurriedly waved her hands, "No, not at all!"
"Then why are you unhappy?" She looked at Gu Qiangwei as if she were looking at a little girl.
Gu Qiangwei paused for a few seconds, then lowered and raised her gaze again towards the old lady, "Grandma, Qin Sijue... he’s alright, isn’t he?"
Hearing her suddenly mentioning her grandson, the old lady also lowered her eyes and pondered for a few seconds, "He’s just dealing with some matters, what could happen?"
"But... I’ve sent him many messages, and he hasn’t replied."
"He might be busy. It’s just because of this that you’re feeling down?" the old lady said with a smile, not overly worried about her grandson.
Perhaps it was because Qin Sijue spent most of his time abroad and only occasionally made phone calls to his grandparents. Not having contact for a day or two was common, so the old lady just assumed he was busy and that was why he hadn’t called Gu Qiangwei.
Glancing at the old lady, Gu Qiangwei lowered her eyelids, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
She had thought he would call her last night, but he did not.
Moreover, she had sent him messages in the morning and at noon, still with no replies.
Thinking it over, she dialed Qin Sijue’s number, but was met with the sound of the phone being switched off...
At the sound of that emotionless, mechanical female voice, Gu Qiangwei’s heart involuntarily shivered.
Qin Sijue, no matter how busy, would never switch off his phone.
Was it because the battery was dead?
After pondering, she called Luo Chen.
Luo Chen’s phone rang, but after a long while, nobody picked up.
Looking at the call disconnect by itself, Gu Qiangwei’s heart grew even more anxious.
Seeing her making two calls in succession with no one answering, the old lady sitting by her side couldn’t help but ask.
Gu Qiangwei looked up at the old lady, her expression growing anxious, and nodded.
At that moment, Qin Guozhong also came downstairs.
