Xiang Qiuci was already very nervous. When Leng Jiuchen’s voice suddenly rang in her ears, she instantly moved a little more to the side and said softly, “Thank you.”
Seeing that Xiang Qiuci was still keeping her head low without looking at him, Leng Jiuchen narrowed his eyes and stopped talking.
Everyone watching them sighed, especially Huo Sikai. He shook his head so hard that even Ji Yang felt dizzy looking at it.
e to think of it, how could Leng Jiuchen treat a girl so badly just because of his status?
If Ji Yang was not an anti-prostitution officer right now, she would have given him a beating already.
On the other side, Shi Mo and Shi Ran’s expressions were in sync. They looked at Leng Jiuchen and Xiang Qiuci inexplicably and lifted their lips into a smile but did not say a word.
Mu Siyin’s eyebrows were knitted together. Only when she saw Leng Jiuchen behaving himself did she let it go with a soft snort.
If she had known that Leng Jiuchen was so unscrupulous, she would have let Qiuci sit in her cousin’s car. At least her cousin would not mess around with Qiuci.
As the saying ‘speak of the devil’, Lu Jingchen called just as Mu Siyin thought about him.
She was taken aback for a while before she blinked. ‘Did we lose him?’
At the thought of that, she immediately picked up the phone. “What’s the matter, Cuz?”
“Grandpa just called and wants me to return to the old mansion, Yinyin. I won’t be joining you guys tonight.”
Mu Siyin asked, “Why does Grandpa want you back now?”
“I’m not so sure either. I’ll find out when I get back.”
Mu Siyin felt helpless. “Alright, then. Drive safe.”
“Okay, I’ll treat you guys and Qiuci to a meal tomorrow when everyone is free.”
“Okay, sure.”
Seeing that Mu Siyin had hung up the phone, Huo Sikai said curiously, “You really seem to have a good relationship with your cousin, Little Siyin.”
Everything would be fine if Huo Sikai did not say a word. However, those words made everyone look over, except for Xiang Qiuci, whose head was slightly lowered.
After all, Huo Sikai had always said that her cousin, Lu Jingchen, had ill intentions towards Mu Siyin.
Upon hearing that, Mu Siyin smiled and replied, “Yeah, he has been the best to me since I was a child.”
Huo Sikai acknowledged it as he glanced at Shi Beiyu.
Shi Beiyu’s face darkened. He really wanted to kick Huo Sikai out of the car.
Only Huo Sikai’s mind would be filled with nonsense!
He was always in a world of his own.’
Speaking of Mu Siyin’s grandfather, Shi Beiyu could not help but look at Mu Siyin and asked, “How is your grandpa lately?”
When Mu Siyin heard that, she shook her head softly. “He hasn’t been in good health lately.”
Mu Siyin felt that she should also visit her grandpa.
However, she was afraid that her grandpa would ask if she got along well with the Gu and Mu family. What would happen if she angered him again?
Shi Beiyu paused for a while before he said, “Let’s pay him a visit someday.”
Mu Siyin’s grandpa was a patriarch in the capital. However, he did not like to go out nor associate with others in recent years. As such, he eventually faded out of public sight.
Upon hearing that, Mu Siyin knitted her eyebrows together and replied, “Maybe not so soon. We’ll see once I ask my cousin about my grandpa’s health condition.”
Shi Beiyu nodded. “That’s fine.”
Xiang Qiuci was shocked to have heard the conversation between them.
She did not have the time to think about it when she got in the car earlier, but now that she had calmed down, all her confusion came one after another.
‘Isn’t Mu Siyin in a relationship with Gu Yifan?’
‘How could she be with Shi Beiyu… or rather, the famous Young Master Shi in the capital?’
