Just as everyone's hearts beat rapidly and they felt uneasy…
Old Master said, "It's indeed inappropriate to hit someone here. The children still have a gathering later. It'll affect their mood and appetite."
Old Madam was delighted and exchanged looks with Gu Yuanyuan.
Did the old master give in?
He wasn't hitting her anymore?!
"Thank you for not hitting me, Grandpa. I—"
Gu Yuanyuan hadn't finished thanking him.
In the very next second.
The old master suddenly said in a low voice, "Drag her to the ancestral hall. Use the family law first, and then make her kneel for three days and three nights!"
His tone left no room for discussion!
Gu Yuanyuan's ears buzzed!
Her legs and stomach couldn't help but tremble!
Under her immense fear, she thought that she had heard wrongly.
Looking at Old Madam, Old Madam's face was also filled with disbelief. "Old man, do you know what you're saying?"
"I've said it very clearly. Those who can't hear might be deaf and need to see a doctor. Butler Zhao, send her to the ancestral hall to receive punishment first before inviting a doctor over."
"You!"
Old Madam felt that she was going to die from anger today.
Gu Qiqi irritated her.
The old man infuriated her too.
In contrast to the old lady, Gu Qiqi nearly laughed out loud.
She didn't expect her usually stern grandfather to have such a humorous side.
He actually said that he would invite a doctor to treat deafness to mock her grandma who was unable to tell right from wrong.
She was really addicted to it.
In her previous life, she didn't have many opportunities to come into close contact with her grandfather. Now that they met again, she increasingly liked this grandfather who looked serious on the surface but had a child-like nature in his heart.
She suddenly remembered that when her grandfather called her that day and asked her to come back for the birthday banquet. He seemed to have been a little mischievous too.
Yes, yes. In order to make her agree to bring Gong Jue home, he deliberately nagged about the poor signal. Without waiting for her to reject him, he pretended that the signal had broken and hung up the call.
It turned out that this wasn't the first time that her grandfather was being funny.
Gu Qiqi thought with a smile.
She suddenly realized something important.
Gong Jue… Why wasn't he here yet?
There wasn't much time left before the banquet started.
Although this was a family banquet and wasn't that strict and formal, it was ultimately impolite to be late.
If Grandpa waited for him to come and he didn't appear after a long time, would Grandpa have a bad impression?
For some reason, she actually had some anticipation in her heart for her grandfather to accept Gong Jue and like him.
Seriously, he wasn't even her grandfather's grandson-in-law. Why was she so nervous?
Gu Qiqi shook off that ridiculous thought and tried her best to drag herself back to the scene.
But there was still a voice in her heart that muttered disobediently,
Why was that stupid man missing? There wasn't even a text message in the morning, let alone a phone call.
Where was he fooling around?
==
At this moment.
At the Gong Residence.
On the sofa in the living room.
Gong Jue was lying flat.
His thick and long eyelashes were like fans as they cast a small shadow on his face.
His long breathing was heavy and steady.
Obviously, he'd fallen asleep.
Bai Mori sat on the soft chair in front of the sofa and leaned over to stare at him.
After taking the medicine, he had been asleep for the entire morning.
According to the medicine's effect, he would sleep for an entire day.
It was impossible for him to go to that country girl's banquet in the afternoon.
With a smile on her lips, Bai Mori scanned Gong Jue greedily from top to bottom.
Such opportunities were rare.
Gong Jue never came into contact with women. He was even stingy with giving them a look.
But at this moment, she could see him as much as she wanted.
She even wanted to reach out and touch this man's perfect figure…
After all, she had been fantasizing about him in her heart for the past few years, but she had never really touched him!
