"Grandpa, don't worry. Jingcheng may be busy with something important so it's not convenient for him to answer the phone. We'll try calling later." Su Muqing said as he stroked the old man's back to comfort him.

"Busy? What can a girl named Jiang do to keep him busy? When he is with that girl from the Jiang family, how can he have the time to think about anything else?" Old Master Gu spoke in an aggressive tone, and it was obvious that he was quite angry.

Su Muqing didn't say anything because she didn't know what to say.

There was silence in the study for a while, and Mr. Gu looked up at Su Muqing and sighed.

"Hey, Qingqing. You must be hungry too. Go downstairs and eat first."

"Yes, Grandpa, I'm really hungry. Let's go downstairs to eat." Su Muqing said to Grandpa Gu with a smile.

"Qingqing, you go first. Grandpa will go later." Old Master Gu was still angry.

Su Muqing stepped forward, took the old man's hand and said with a smile: "No, Grandpa, it's so boring for me to eat alone. Besides, don't be angry. Didn't you say you prepared a lot of delicious food? It's good that Jingcheng is not here. No one will snatch it from me, and all the delicious food will be mine."

Seeing that the old man still didn't move Su Muqing, he used a little strength in his hands to pull him.

"Okay, let's go, Grandpa, I'm so hungry. Let's go."

Mr. Gu had no choice but to let her strength push him up.

"Okay, let's ignore him and go eat first."

Afterwards, Mr. Gu followed Su Muqing and went downstairs to eat, chatting and laughing.

At the dinner table, Su Muqing kept looking for topics to make Mr. Gu happy, but he didn't mention Gu Jingcheng again. Although not everyone was present at the family dinner, under Su Muqing's influence, there were laughter and joy at the dinner table. It was still very warm.

After dinner, Su Muqing chatted with Mr. Gu for a while. Soon it was getting late and Su Muqing was about to go back. Mr. Gu reluctantly sent her to the door.

"Qingqing, you must come back to see me often and talk to this old man." Old Master Gu said to Su Muqing with great reluctance.

He really liked this granddaughter-in-law too much. Although the Gu family was a noble family, it had few members. The only son had died along with his daughter-in-law in an accident, leaving behind only a little grandson.

Although they were the only relatives, since his son had passed away, Gu Shi was completely under his control, so he rarely had time to spend with his little grandson.

Because of his parents, the little grandson was not very active. He didn't know how to get close to him. So over the years, Gu Jingcheng treated him with more respect. There was rarely any affection between the grandparents and grandchildren.

As for this granddaughter-in-law, although she is the daughter of a wealthy family, she is cheerful and generous, kind-hearted, sincere and gentle to others, making people want to get close to her. She is simply perfect in every aspect.

"Don't worry, Grandpa, the food here is so delicious. I will definitely come here often, but I'm afraid that Grandpa will think I eat too much and go bankrupt."

"How could that be? You should eat more. Look how thin you are."

"I haven't lost weight at all, Grandpa. When I went home a few days ago, my mom said that if I didn't lose weight, I would become as fat as a pig."

"Nonsense, how can my Qingqing be fat? Don't listen to your mother and don't think about losing weight. You look good like this. You won't look any better if you lose any more weight."

"Okay, I will definitely tell my mother this. Grandpa, it's getting late, I'm leaving first. You should go back soon, I'll come to see you when I have time."

Then, Mr. Gu escorted Su Muqing to the car. When the car started, Su Muqing rolled down the window and waved goodbye to the old man. He didn't put his hand down until he could no longer see him.

Old Master Gu watched the car disappear. Then he spoke to the housekeeper beside him: "It would have been great if Xiao Cheng had known Qing first. I wonder why I let him play with the girl from the Jiang family."

"Master, everything is over. The young master has married the young mistress. Don't embarrass yourself anymore."

"Oh. If only we had figured out the Jiang family's affairs earlier. Besides, let's not talk about that girl's family. Just talk about what she did to my grandson. She made his character like that since he was a child, and when he grew up, he..."

Mr. Gu thought about it and decided not to say anything. Then he sighed and continued, "Oh, forget it. I won't say it anymore. Go send a message to that bastard. Ask him to call me back by tomorrow morning at the latest, or I will hold a press conference and sever ties with him."

"Yes, sir." The butler nodded in agreement.

After Su Muqing returned to her and Gu Jingcheng's home, she asked someone to turn on the lights in the living room. Then she went back to her room. After washing up, she did not go to bed, but sat on the recliner by the French window, turned on a small warm lamp, and stayed awake all night with a book in her hand.

Until dawn, she didn't hear the sound of the engine or his return.
