Back Then, I Adored You

Gu Yusheng tried a couple of times to put his tie on, but failed to do so. When he heard what the housekeeper said, he suddenly remembered what she had said in the sunroom. His hand shook, which messed up the tie that had almost been done properly.

The housekeeper stood behind Gu Yusheng so he couldn’t see his face. Hearing no response from Gu Yusheng, the housekeeper asked, “Mr. Gu, do you want to wait for a second? Once Miss finishes memorizing her lines, she’ll be able to eat with you.”

Before the housekeeper had finished speaking, Gu Yusheng suddenly pulled his tie off and threw it hard at the stairs. He roared in anger, “No one needs to eat. Who said I would eat with her?”

The housekeeper was so scared that he immediately shut his mouth, not even attempting to breathe.

“Do not let her appear at the table whenever I eat. She is annoying. Do not talk about her in front of me, either. Anything related to her is annoying.” Gu Yusheng turned around and gave the housekeeper a dirty look, scaring the housekeeper and making him shudder a bit. Gu Yusheng stomped to the foyer with a gloomy face. He changed his shoes, opened the door furiously, and walked out of the door without saying anything.

He closed the door so hard that it made a loud banging sound that shook the window with a rattling sound.

…

Qin Zhi’ai, still in the sunroom, had heard everything Gu Yusheng had said.

Her hand grasped her script harder. She didn’t look well, since she hadn’t slept well on the wicker chair last night. Her face became even paler.

Qin Zhi’ai was in a daze for a long time until the car engine sound had completely disappeared. She blinked and recovered from the daze. She realized the veins on her hand had popped out because she had grasped the script so hard. She was shaking badly.

It took a lot out of her to act calmly, as usual. Looking at the script, the corners of her eyes welled with tears. She couldn’t help letting the tears fall.

Qin Zhi’ai went back to her bedroom to catch some sleep after breakfast.

After lunch, she sat in front of the vanity and applied some touch-ups on the simple make-up she had done in the morning. She changed into a long, white dress and walked downstairs.

Liang Doukou attended celebrity parties every once a while.

According to Zhou Jing, the very first celebrity party had been held by Liang Doukou.

They were called celebrity parties, but they were merely gatherings of rich girls. They looked like they were enjoying some free time with tea, but they really just flaunted their wealth to see who was richer.

Qin Zhi’ai didn’t feel like she fit in, but she had to attend few while Liang Doukou received medical treatment for her tumor. Zhou Jing asked Qin Zhi’ai to appear at these parties once a while.
