Novel Bin Chapter 40
Chapter 40: The Old Times of Him and Her (10)
Knowing that, Gu Yusheng got away with only holding his gift for Old Master Gu in his hand as soon as he had parked the car, and walked toward the yard without waiting for Qin Zhi’ai.
When Qin Zhi’ai walked into the villa with her gift, Gu Yusheng had already started talking to Old Master Gu.
Although there was a certain distance between them and her, and the crowd was noisy, Qin Zhi’ai still could hear their conversation clearly.
“Where’s Xiaokou?”
“She just met a friend in the yard.”
Qin Zhi’ai stopped her steps toward Old Master Gu, and glanced around to find a friend of Liang Doukou’s to talk yo.
She didn’t greet or give her gift to Old Master Gu until Gu Yusheng had walked away from him.
They hadn’t seen each other for a long time, so Old Master Gu was very happy and had much to talk about with her. Until another friend came to greet him, Qin Zhi’ai didn’t have a chance to walk away.
For the first time since Qin Zhi’ai had began disguising herself as Liang Doukou, she was very prudent for fear of any flaws or contradictions that could be seen through.
Fortunately, she had a good memory, and she was smart enough that she knew who was close with and who didn’t get along well with Liang Doukou. Besides, she was trained to imitate the way Liang Doukou moved and spoke when she was chosen to be her substitute, so she could deal with such occasions easily. She knew who to hug warmly and who to sneer at.
After making small talk with the wife of Liang Doukou’s elder cousin, she saw Liang Doukou’s mother chatting with several of the wealthy wives.
As her “daughter,” she walked towards her subconsciously. However, when she moved, she saw Liang Doukou’s cousin, Jiang Qianqian.
Qin Zhi’ai had already learned from Zhou Jing that Liang Doukou hated Jiang Qianqian the most, although they shared the same blood.
Zhou Jing didn’t tell her why they hated each other so much, but from what she had told her, Qin Zhi’ai inferred that Liang Doukou was the one who had started the fight with Jiang Qianqian, which had ended with Liang Doukou losing. With the same story being repeated again and again, it seemed to become a habit of Liang Doukou’s to look for trouble with Jiang Qianqian, though she knew she couldn’t win. Therefore, to make herself seem more like Liang Doukou, Qin Zhi’ai pretended to quarrel with Jiang Qianqian each time they met.
Honestly speaking, Qin Zhi’ai really couldn’t get used to asking for trouble, so as soon as she saw Jiang Qianqian, she turned around and left, pretending that she hadn’t seen her.
However, someone stopped her when she had only taken several steps.
