Chapter 362 The Ring in the Grass (3)
Mrs? call her? Didn't Gu Yusheng always ask her to call her Miss?
Before Qin Zhiai recovered from the housekeeper's "Ma'am", the housekeeper walked up to her, raised his hand and touched her head, then said with a smile, "The fever has completely subsided, ma'am, Do you still feel uncomfortable?"
Qin Zhi'ai shook her head. She had a lot of questions she wanted to ask, but she didn't know where to start. The housekeeper didn't wait for her to speak for the third time, and said something serious: "Madam, you have a friend who is waiting for you downstairs. Hurry up and change your clothes and go downstairs, I will entertain her first."
friend?
The first thing that flashed in Qin Zhi'ai's mind was "Zhou Jing". She told her that day that she and Liang Doukou would change back on the 12th. Today is already the 11th. She must have come here to discuss with herself what to do. Change it back.
Qin Zhi'ai said softly "Mmm" to the housekeeper, got out of bed, and went to the bathroom.
While brushing her teeth, Qin Zhi'ai glanced at her splattered face through the mirror in front of the washbasin, especially around her eyes, where there was a pitch-black mass that spread all the way to her cheeks, terrified and embarrassed.
After taking a shower, Qin Zhi'ai sat in front of the dressing table, put on her makeup quickly with her fingertips, got up and went to the dressing room to choose a long dress, put it on, stood in front of the mirror and looked around twice, made sure she was all right, turned around and prepared to go downstairs At that time, her gaze inadvertently stopped in the mirror.
After today and tonight, she will no longer have to live with the appearance and voice of others... Her Cinderella-like story is finally coming to an end.
When she reached the railing of the stairs, Qin Zhi'ai took a habitual glance downstairs. Jiang Xianxian was sitting on the large European-style sofa, holding out her hand with a smile on her face, and took the scented tea from the housekeeper.
It was her, not Zhou Jing?
Qin Zhi'ai frowned, but she still didn't understand why Jiang Qiantian suddenly came over. Jiang Xianxian, who was sitting on the first floor, had already spotted her, raised her head towards her, and said sweetly, "Sister Kou, you're awake?"
Qin Zhi'ai smiled back, without saying a word, leaning on the handrail, she went downstairs slowly, and sat down on the sofa opposite Jiang Xianxian.
It was autumn in the imperial capital, and the heater hadn't come on yet, so it was a bit cold. The housekeeper saw that Qin Zhi'ai was wearing thin clothes, and was afraid that she would have a fever again, so he took a thick cloak and put it on her body, and asked aloud, "Ma'am, are you hungry?" Not hungry? Shall I bring you something to eat first?"
"No need." Qin Zhi'ai shook her head, "Pour me a glass of boiled water."
Soon, the housekeeper put a cup of warm lemonade in front of Qin Zhi'ai.
After she left, Qin Zhi'ai looked at Jiang Xianxian, and asked calmly, "Why are you here suddenly? What's the matter?"
"It's nothing, but my elder brother went to France a few days ago and brought you a gift when he came back. Yesterday we went to grandpa's house. Grandpa always loves you. It's not like you don't know. He talked about you for a long time during dinner. I said you haven’t been home for more than half a month. It happened that I wanted to come to the bank next door to do something today, so I told my grandpa that I would stop by to see you. But when grandpa heard that I was coming, he let me I brought you so many things, all of which you like to eat."
As Jiang Xianxian said, she pointed to the coffee table, and Qin Zhi'ai saw that there were various gift boxes, large and small, on it.
