828 Back Then, I Adored You 8 (1/2)
Mother Qin had just been chatting without any underlying intentions, so she had not expected Old Master Gu to talk about himself like that. She immediately became embarrassed. ”Old Master, please don't say that. I know that you just wanted the best for the children. I'm not blaming you. You don't have to…”
Mother Qin initially wanted to say ”scold yourself,” but that didn't seem very nice, so she substituted those words and finished her sentence with ”...blame yourself.”
You think I want to blame myself? I have no choice!
Old Master Gu was furious but, no matter how angry he was, he suppressed his fiery temper. He smiled at Mother Qin and said, ”In-law Qin, I was wrong in the way I handled this situation, but I was just too fond of Xiao'ai, so that's how I ended up handling it.”
Mother Qin hurriedly indicated that it was alright, and then Old Master Gu continued chatting with her with a smile on his face. When their little peanut emerged from her bath, Mother Qin rose and followed the caretaker and Nanny Zhang to put her to sleep in the nursery. It was only then that Old Master Gu stood up and made his way upstairs with his cane. When he arrived at Gu Yusheng's door, he started banging on it and demanding, ”Gu Yusheng, come out here!”
…...
Gu Yusheng's spirits were peaking and his motion grew increasingly faster. As he was about to lose control, the sound of his grandfather's angry roar reached his ears. He abruptly stopped, as the ambience was forcefully and immediately shattered.
”Come out here, Gu Yusheng. You come the hell out here!” Old Master Gu roared again.
Gu Yusheng shut his eyes and took a few deep breaths. After kissing Qin Zhi'ai's lips apologetically, he got out of bed, put on some clothes, and left the room.
…...
It was already 11:00 p.m. when Lu Bancheng got home. When he exited the elevator, he bumped into a neighbor who was leaving her apartment. He had lived here for two years and was familiar with his neighbors, exchanging a few words whenever they ran into each other.
