The Old Madam didn't expect Gu Qiqi to be so domineering.
She actually rejected her outright!
Furthermore, she turned around and left without any hesitation.
She looked up and looked at Gu Qiqi's back view. She walked on a platform that made her closer to the light. The edge of her white coat revealed a trace of golden sunlight.
She was arrogant and distant.
For the first time, she felt that her granddaughter's presence was so strong that she couldn't control her at all.
D*mn it…
Why was she as hateful as that short-lived mother of hers!
Back then, she forced that woman to give birth to a few more sons for Qiushan. That d*mned woman refused to give birth anymore.
That kind of stubborn "I'm just unwilling" look really made people tremble with anger just thinking about it!
"Grandma, can't we do anything to her?"
"Hmph! Who said that? I want to see if she's afraid when the entire Gu family is exerting pressure! She didn't jump out from a crack in a rock. She dares to take the risk of offending everyone?"
"The entire Gu family… Grandma, but we don't have much time left."
"Call your grandfather! I'll talk to him!"
"Okay."

Gu Qiqi was extremely disgusted by the shameless old woman and young girl outside the door.
She had seen thick-skinned people before, but she had never seen someone as thick-skinned as a city wall.
She returned to the laboratory and immediately washed her hands.
Gu Xuexue was so infuriated. She looked as if she couldn't wait to enter the laboratory to find a man and wanted to spit on her several times.
As soon as Gu Qiqi was done washing up, Old Master Gu's call came in.
"Qiqi, are you busy? Have you gotten used to your internship?"
"I'm fine. Grandpa, is there something wrong?"
"Oh, it's like this. Grandpa wants to invite you home…"
Old Master Gu was halfway through his words when Gu Qiqi's heart turned cold.
Her originally relaxed tone immediately became stiff. "Grandpa, it can't be that you want me to participate in the Shen family's lousy matters like Grandma? You want me to give up my internship and 'modestly' give it to Gu Xuexue?"
In the Gu family, other than Xiaobei, only her grandfather still had kinship with her.
If even her grandfather was on their side, that would be too disappointing!
However…
The other end of the call was stunned for a second.
Old Master Gu was puzzled. "What happened to the Shen family?"
Then, she sounded very unhappy. "When did I ask you to give up your internship? Was it your grandmother's idea? That's outrageous! Qiqi, don't worry. I'll criticize her! Just focus on your internship. No one can disturb you!"
Hearing her grandfather's series of concerns, Gu Qiqi's heart finally relaxed again.
Fortunately, her grandfather hadn't changed.
She didn't collude with them.
Her grandfather doted on her and supported her!
"Grandpa, you'll know when you check the news. By the way, Grandpa, why did you ask me to return home just now?"
"Oh… it's Grandpa's 80th birthday banquet next week. Don't you plan to come home and have a meal with me?" As the old man spoke, he thought that the Shen family had finally been virtuous for once and knew to remind him to call his granddaughter back for a meal.
"Ah…"
Gu Qiqi patted her small head in frustration.
It was all her fault for forgetting such an important matter.
"Grandpa, I'll definitely come!"
"Remember to bring Mr. Gong along!"
Gu Qiqi was speechless.
Could it be that Grandpa was talking about Gong Jue?!
Why did she feel that the words "Gong Jue" and "Mr. Gong" were the same person?
Were they really the same person?
"Grandpa, actually, he and I don't…"
She initially wanted to say that she wasn't familiar with him, but the old master had already smartly hung up the call!
"Qiqi, the signal isn't good. Grandpa's hanging up. You and Mr. Gong have to come… Oh my, the signal isn't good enough to hear you…"
Gu Qiqi was speechless.
"Mr. Gong, Mr. Gong, should I bring you home?" Gu Qiqi muttered in amusement and left the washroom.
She had just left when the innermost cubicle door opened.
The woman was wearing elegant white high heels as she stared intently at Gu Qiqi's back. "So, the woman who waited on Gong Jue to take a shower that night was you…"
"Sister Moli, Professor Zhou is looking for you!"
"Yes, she's here."
Bai Moli restrained the sharpness in her eyes and smiled gently.
