Chapter 55: To Shanghai

“Grandpa.”

If one were to say that Gu Yulin was really a good-for-nothing, he would change his ways every day.

However, why did Old Master Gu dote on him the most?

Firstly, he was the youngest in the third generation of the Gu family. Secondly, this guy was really filial.

Whether it was to Old Master Gu or to his parents, he was really filial.

But he just couldn’t change his character.

Seeing Old Master Gu’s pale and tottering face, he didn’t even care about his fear and directly pounced on him.

He held Old Master Gu with both hands, afraid that he would fall.

Being held by his grandson, Old Master Gu regained his composure and steadied himself. He shook his head at Qin Yiyi and Shang Jingheng.

“I’m getting old. My body really can’t take it anymore.”

His tone was full of exhaustion!

Gu Yulin couldn’t stand such words. He retorted without thinking, “Grandpa, you’re not getting old. If we walk on the streets, people will definitely say that you’re my brother.”

“Brat, you have no manners.”

Old Master Gu reached out and patted Gu Yulin’s head. His voice was a little tired.

“Whenever you can save me some trouble, I’ll be able to live for a few more years.”

Gu Yulin was silent for a moment. “Grandpa, I’m not going to take the blame for this. Go look for my father, second uncle, and the others.”

Old Master Gu ignored him. Instead, he looked at Qin Yiyi, who had washed her hands and returned.

“Miss Qin, how are you?” He had heard that there could be some sort of backlash. He didn’t want to harm this little girl again because of this matter.

Qin Yiyi raised her eyebrows and smiled lightly.

“Old Master, you’re worrying too much. I only found the thing that the other party used to set up the trap. I haven’t solved it yet.”

“Ah, you haven’t solved it yet. Then will my luck be bad?”

Gu Yulin suddenly jumped up. “No, no, Grandpa, let’s hurry and leave this place first.”

Old Master Gu ignored him, but his gaze fell on Qin Yiyi.

“Miss Qin?”

“Let’s talk somewhere else.”

Qin Yiyi and Shang Jingheng took the lead and walked out.

The few of them returned to the place where they had spoken just now, and there was a moment of silence.

Qin Yiyi didn’t make a sound either.

Such a huge matter had happened, so she had to give the old man some time to digest it.

On the other hand, Shang Jingheng looked over quietly.

“Grandpa Gu, if you don’t want to…”

“No need, I’ll do it myself.”

This was a family matter of the Gu family.

He couldn’t let the Shang family kid get involved anymore. He already had enough trouble.

He picked up the tea beside him and took a sip. The old man smiled lightly.

“I’m not too old to be unable to move, and I’m not too old to be able to deal with a few small fries.”

Qin Yiyi thought about it and said that it was probably not some small fries that could set up a trap in such a secret place.

It must have been highly trusted or valued by Old Master Gu..

However, she smiled when the words reached her mouth. “Old Master Gu’s pulse is a little unstable, and his qi and blood are unstable. I’ll prescribe medicine for Grandpa Gu for two days later.”

“Then I’ll have to trouble you, Miss Qin.”

After the scene just now, Old Master Gu naturally valued Qin Yiyi a little more.

At this moment, he unconsciously called her Miss Qin.

Qin Yiyi smiled. “Grandfather Gu, please call me Yiyi. Miss Qin sounds weird.”

“Alright, then I’ll call you Yiyi in the future.”

Turning around, he reminded Gu Yulin with a serious expression, “Yiyi will be your sister in the future. If she suffers any grievances outside, I’ll break your legs.”

Gu Yu Lin’s body trembled as he recalled the scene where his grandfather chased him for a few streets with a stick.

His scalp went numb!

Without thinking, he nodded. “Grandfather, don’t worry. This girl will be my biological sister from now on!”

No, she would be his ancestor!

Old Master Gu shot him a warning glance and looked at Qin Yiyi with a light sigh.

“If you can’t solve it, then don’t bother about it.”

Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings.

Just take it as… the Gu family’s calamity.

“Grandfather!”

Gu Yulin’s expression changed drastically. His eyes were anxious and anxious, but he was stopped by Old Master Gu with a wave of his hand.

“Remember what grandfather said. Don’t do to others what you don’t want!”

Although they were merchants, they would never be vague when it came to schemes and methods.

But the bottom line was that they must not cross it!

“Grandfather Gu, don’t worry. This scheme is very simple. I can solve it, but…”

She paused for a moment, thinking about where to get another two pieces of good jade.

But Old Master Gu directly opened his mouth.

“Just tell me what you need.”

Money and other things were all external things. It was not a problem for Old Master Gu to spend money to eliminate disasters.

“I need a few pieces of good jade and a few copper coins. Forget it, I’ll think of a way to find them in the next two days.”

If it really didn’t work out, she would be an underground gentleman for once.

Old Master Gu, on the other hand, ordered Gu Yu Lin without thinking, “Go and find the butler to open my storeroom and bring me that rectangular box.”

Gu Yulin’s eyes lit up when he heard this.

“Grandpa, are you asking me to go to your private storeroom?”

He had long wanted to go to the old man’s private storeroom to look around, but it was a pity that his old man was very stingy.

He did not expect that today he would be blessed by this girl…

Gu Yulin and the butler quickly returned.

In their hands was indeed a rectangular box that was as long as an adult’s arm.

When they opened it, there was a dazzling array of jades within. All of them were good items and were indeed worth quite a lot.

Unfortunately, none of them were what Qin Yiyi wanted.

She shook her head and pushed them back, but Old Master Gu simply pushed them back.

“Since it’s useless, then it means that they have no value. The jade in here is quite pleasing to the eye. Take them Yiyi and play with them.”

These words startled the butler who was standing at the side.

This box of jade…

In the middle, there were a few pieces that old master bought from thousands of miles away and kept as if they were treasures.

Now, he said that he would give them away?

He was a little shocked. What had happened in the courtyard when he was not there just now?!

Qin Yiyi smiled and did not take them.

“I don’t like these.”

Although the jade that the old master had collected was good, in her eyes, it was just average.

However, in the end, under the insistence of Old Master Gu, Qin Yiyi could only randomly choose a piece of jade to keep.

When they were leaving, Old Master Gu remembered that Qin Yiyi liked tea, so he directly brought two catties for her.

Seeing this, the corner of the old butler’s mouth twitched.

Old Master Gu was giving away all his treasures.

After Qin Yiyi and Shang Jingheng left, Old Master Gu glanced at Gu Yu Lin and suddenly ordered the butler, “Get someone to prepare the car. Lin Zi and I will go to the resort to stay for two days.”

Before leaving, the girl had said that it was better to stay away from the house for the time being.

“Yes, yes. Grandfather, wait here. I will go and get the car.”

Gu Yulin, who had just sent the girl away and returned, just happened to hear this and nodded without thinking.

He even directly helped Old Master Gu out.

“There’s no need for others to drive. I will drive. Grandfather, I will accompany you wherever you want to go.”

“This time, I must have a good rest.”

The Gu family’s grandfather and grandson drove away from the old residence in an instant.

Qin Yiyi’s residence.

Shang Jingheng sat on the sofa and stared at her without blinking.

Qin Yiyi took two sips of tea and finally couldn’t hold it in.

“Is there a flower on my face?”

If one were to say that there was a pretty face, it would be because of Shang Jingheng’s own face.

Her face was also pretty, but she felt that it was not as good as his.

“Are you really okay with the Gu family’s matters?”

Shang Jingheng still felt uneasy. He furrowed his brows and looked serious.

“If you feel that it’s troublesome, then don’t bother.”

“Grandpa Gu is not as useless as you think. He has a lot of connections.”

Qin Yiyi chuckled. “I know what to do.”

Shang Jingheng furrowed his brows and finally swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth,

“Remember these words.”

The two of them came back after having lunch at the old residence.

At this moment, they were curled up on the sofa and basking in the sun. Qin Yiyi could not help but feel a little sleepy.

Hugging a doll’s small head, she looked extremely adorable.

“Go to your room and sleep for a while. I’ll go back first. I’ll come over tomorrow to send you to school.”

“No need.”

Qin Yi instantly sat up straight. Her big round eyes were full of energy.

“You do your thing. I can do it myself. By the way, take Ding Yi back too. I really don’t need him to drive me back and forth.”

“If you don’t need him here, then let him go and dig coal.”

Shang Jingheng said calmly, “He can’t even do a good job as a driver. I won’t keep him by my side either.”

Qin Yiyi, “…”

What else could she say besides ‘let him stay’?

Shang Jingheng left Qin Yiyi’s residence and walked to the parking lot on the first floor.

Ding Yi was already walking over with a silly smile on his face.

“Sir, where do you want to go? I’ll send you…”

Shang Jingheng didn’t say anything, but he sized him up with his deep eyes.

Ding Yi felt goosebumps all over as he looked at him. “Shang, Mr. Shang…”

“Pick her up and send her off properly. If the driver can’t do his job well, then go and dig the coal by yourself.”

Ding Yi,”…” he had dug the coal countless times!

Qin Yiyi slept until the evening. She was woken up by the ringing of a phone.

After looking at the caller ID, she immediately pressed the reject button.

It was already a little dark in the room. She sat up and turned on the light at the side.

The sunlight instantly illuminated the entire room.

She reached out and grabbed two handfuls of her hair. After washing her face, she came back and her phone rang again.

She sat on the sofa and stared blankly for a while.

Qin Yiyi looked at the phone that kept ringing and stopping. Finally, she picked it up.

Before she could speak, Mrs. Qin’s exasperated voice sounded from the other side,

“Qin Yiyi, get your ass back home. Get your ass back here right now. Right now.”

Qin Yiyi’s voice was indifferent. “I’m already dead. I need to burn some paper.”

She hung up the phone with a thud and conveniently blacklisted Mrs. Qin’s number.

On the other side, Mrs. Qin’s phone had been busy all this time. She was so angry that she almost threw the phone in her hand out.

That wretched girl actually dared to hang up on her. She had no upbringing at all. Today, she had to let her know how to speak to her elders!

On the other side.

Qin Yiyi had already boarded the high-speed train to Shanghai.
