As Qiu Hu stepped into his home, he was met with the gazes of three people: A Qian, A Yi, and Qiu Lan, who had already woken up. However, Qiu Lan's gaze was apologetic, while the other two looked at him with confusion.
Ayi couldn't hold back in front of Qiu Hu, "You two have made up?"
Qiu Hu nodded.
"How foolish! How utterly foolish! Where is my career-driven mistress?" In A-Yi's mind, Qiu Hu was incredibly career-oriented. At the same time, she felt that Ning Yizhan, besides being handsome, was just a scoundrel, full of wicked schemes. Others might not know, but having been by Qiu Hu's side for so many years, how could she not see other people's feelings for her? They were all lusting after Qiu Hu. Now, seeing Qiu Hu like this, she was filled with disappointment and frustration. Thinking of this, she clutched her head, which ached terribly.
"In your eyes, am I such a muddle-headed person? Why are you looking like this? I haven't neglected my career."
"..." Ayi didn't say it out loud, "You've been out of contact, but you haven't been delayed."
Seeing that they were all silent, Qiu Lan timidly spoke up, "I'm sorry, sister, I've caused you trouble again."
"Just be more careful next time. We're not around to help you, so be more mindful." Qiu Hu couldn't really scold her. No matter how much she scolded her, she couldn't beat Qiu Bing. She just couldn't beat her. She was already happy that she hadn't been easily fooled by Qiu Bing.
"Okay," Qiu Lan agreed, her voice choked with emotion. Actually, she didn't know what had happened. It was only after she woke up back at the villa that A Yi told her the whole story.
She only remembered that she had just finished filming her last scene that morning, an action scene. After it ended, she was exhausted. Her assistant saw her like this and handed her some water. After drinking it, she went back to the dressing room to change her clothes. Before she could even change, she fainted. When she woke up, she had already been taken back to the villa by A-Yi and the others. She was wearing someone else's clothes, a skin-colored lace slip dress. She was sure that none of the girls in the villa had such underwear. She hurriedly got up and went downstairs to ask A-Yi, and that's when she learned the truth.
It turned out that she had been captured by Qiu Bing again, who was trying to use her to exchange for benefits. The other party was of extremely poor character, and she didn't treat herself like a human being at all. She even let that man come to see her at night. It was obvious what his intentions were. If Qiu Hu and the others hadn't come to rescue her in time, she would have been ruined.
How much must Qiu Bing hate her to do such things to her time and time again? She smiled bitterly.
"Alright, go back and rest!" Qiu Hu's voice pulled her back from her sadness.
After they all went upstairs, Qiu Hu went upstairs into the study and began to organize the "good things" she would need for tomorrow. She stared at the pile of documents for a while, and then went back to her bedroom to rest.
The next morning, she called her grandfather at the old house to tell him that she was going back later, along with Qiu Bing. On the phone, she heard Old Master Qiu sigh, "Sigh, come back. We'll talk about it when you get back."
In recent years, the old man has rarely been involved in affairs. Back then, Qiu Hu was still young, so he delegated a lot of power to Qiu Bing. As long as something didn't reach his ears, he basically didn't interfere.
At the dinner table, Qiu Hu took the initiative to mention, "I'm going back to the old house today."
Ayi was unaware of everything Qiu Bing had done. If he went back to the old house to have dinner with the old man, he usually wouldn't ask, "Why are you going back to the old house?"
"Regarding Qiu Bing. Qian, bring Jiang Wenshan to the old house later. I'll call you in, then you can come in."
Ah Qian nodded in response.
Hearing Qiu Bing's name now only evoked resentment in Qiu Lan. "Are you going to tell Grandpa about Qiu Bing?"
"It's not just about Qiu Bing, there are other things related to her. What, are you going to plead for her?" Qiu Hu knew it was impossible, but he still said it to ease the atmosphere.
"How could that be!" She was completely disappointed in Qiu Bing, her mother, and blurted out the answer reflexively.
After breakfast, Qiu Hu changed into a long black dress, grabbed a stack of documents, put on black high heels, and went out. She exuded confidence, opened the car door, got in, and drove off with a flourish.
Those who witnessed the whole thing exclaimed, "No wonder she's a young lady!"
Forty minutes later, they arrived at the Qiu family's old residence. Qiu Hu got out of the car carrying the stack of documents. The servants who passed by all greeted Qiu Hu respectfully as "Young Miss".
When Qiu Hu entered the house, he didn't see Old Master Qiu, so he asked a servant, "Where is Grandpa?"
"In the study."
Qiu Hu went upstairs to the study and found the old man playing chess by himself. The only sound was the movement of the chess pieces. It was so quiet that Qiu Hu couldn't bear to disturb the peace.
The old man spoke first, "You're back?"
"Yes, Grandpa."
"It's good to be back. Sit down and play the next game with Grandpa."
Actually, Qiu Hu wasn't very good at chess, but she still sat down and played chess with the old man. In the end, the old man gave her a big win, and Qiu Hu won.
“Ah Hu, do whatever you want. Don’t worry about Grandpa. Grandpa has seen all kinds of storms over the years.”
Qiu Hu understood what he meant and agreed, "Okay," but he didn't know if he would say the same thing when he found out the truth.
"Come on, let's go downstairs with Grandpa."
Qiu Hu helped the old man downstairs. The old man was actually quite agile, but he still carried a cane. He wanted to tell himself that people should learn to accept getting old.
After the grandfather and grandson went downstairs, Qiu Bing hadn't arrived yet. The old man pulled Qiu Hu aside to chat about everyday things. As they chatted, their voices and laughter grew louder and louder. When Qiu Bing finally arrived, all she was greeted by was that laughter, which she found truly unpleasant and scoffed at.
She entered the room, the laughter still echoing. She softly chuckled, breaking the cheerful atmosphere in the living room, "Dad, I'm home!"
