"Did Yuanyuan really say that?" Yu Rujin was worried that she might have misheard, given her age and hearing.
Uncle Xiang said, "Yes, Old Madam, Miss Gu has already packed her luggage. She will soon be bringing the little princess down."
"Good, good, good."
Yu Rujin said "good" several tis, unable to hide her excitent, her face full of joy.
She smiled broadly, saying to Fu beside her, "See, when you sincerely wish for sothing, heaven will grant it. Everything is moving in a positive direction. Yuanyuan’s willingness to take Suisui to Yanjing is the best beginning."
Seeing the Old Madam so happy, Fu couldn’t help but feel happy too.
Outside the gate.
When Gu Yuan walked out with Suisui, she saw Yu Rujin at the car door, pacing back and forth with a mix of joy and nervousness. She was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn’t even notice Gu Yuan approaching with Suisui.
"Would Yuanyuan suddenly change her mind?"
"Well, I should be prepared for that possibility. She’s busy with work, and business matters could co up at any ti."
"But Yuanyuan has already packed her luggage and had the butler convey her words to , so she must be going to Yanjing!"
Her self-questioning finally lessened so of the worry on Yu Rujin’s face.
"Grandma."
Gu Yuan’s voice ca, and Yu Rujin quickly looked up.
Their eyes t, Yu Rujin standing at the bottom of the steps, Gu Yuan at the top, holding little Suisui, who had her hair tied in beautiful braids and was clutching a transparent water bottle.
Little Suisui curiously asked Gu Yuan, "Mom, why is Grandma walking back and forth?"
Gu Yuan gently replied, "Because Grandma is waiting for us, to go to Yanjing together."
"Where’s Yanjing?"
"It’s where..." where daddy is.
At this mont, seeing Gu Yuan co out holding Suisui, the weight on Yu Rujin’s mind finally eased.
She happily called Gu Yuan to get in the car, temporarily forgetting her age and wanting to hold Suisui herself. Luckily, Fu reminded her, and Yu Rujin said, "Look at , I’m so happy I’m losing my head."
Gu Yuan smiled and, upon getting into the car, placed Suisui next to Yu Rujin.
They arrived in Yanjing a few hours later.
The first thing Yu Rujin did after getting off the plane was call Quan Jin, who had promised to personally pick her up.
The call went through, but it was answered by Tu Kuan.
Yu Rujin asked, "Why are you answering the phone? Where’s Quan Jin?"
Tu Kuan glanced at the man lying in bed, sleeping like a dead pig, hesitated, and then told Yu Rujin on the other end, "Old Madam, Quan Jin drank a bit last night and hasn’t woken up yet."
"Drank a bit? He drank last night and still hasn’t woken up by midday? How much is ’a bit’? Tell clearly."
"..."
Faced with the Old Madam’s questioning, Tu Kuan couldn’t lie and truthfully recounted everything from last night to her.
Before the Old Madam could get angry, Tu Kuan quickly said, "Old Madam, shall I wake Quan Jin up now?"
Yu Rujin was indeed angry, very angry, but she glanced back at Gu Yuan and decided to suppress her anger for the mont, thinking that forcing Quan Jin to co over might bring more trouble.
"Forget it, you watch over him, and once he wakes up, tell him to tidy himself up and co back to the old house," said Yu Rujin.
Tu Kuan agreed, "Okay, Old Madam."
After hanging up, Tu Kuan stood akimbo with the phone in hand, looking at Quan Jin snoring in bed like a dead pig. Last night, he was completely wasted.
Last night.
At iling No.1 Bar.
Under the indistinct lighting and music, a group of people were wildly dancing on the dance floor, the dazzling lights constantly changing colors. The handso bartender was the most pleasing decoration in the bar.
In the booth, people sat together in small groups.
Su Boqian kept toasting Quan Jin, and Quan Jin accepted each drink, the alcohol burning his consciousness, making it hard to tell people from dogs. Several tis, he even mistook Su Boqian for the border collie kept at the old house.
Who is Su Boqian? The little tyrant of the Su Family!
How could the little tyrant of the Su Family allow himself to be seen as a dog in soone else’s eyes? So he barked seriously at Quan Jin, "Woof woof-"
Quan Jin, with dim drunken eyes, reached out and patted Su Boqian’s head, "Are you a performing arts student? Bark a few more tis."
Su Boqian grinned fawningly, "As long as Young Master Quan is happy, I’ll bark as many tis as you want, woof woof woof."
Shen Fengnan laughed, "What a crisp sound."
Tu Kuan, already close to his limit, watching: "..."
A mix of wealthy second-generation and official kids sure know how to have fun.
