"No, and everything was done willingly by me." Xia Yinian shook her head.

Even she didn’t realize how much she could help the cosmetic group.

However, since Gu Beicheng asked her to stay, she would give it her all.

Her man said it was for their future home.

Xia Yinian didn’t know when Gu Beicheng learned to speak sweetly, but she really fell for it.

No matter his purpose for saying that, she would work hard.

Work hard first, and then think about regrets later. If she hesitated now, she would definitely regret it in the future.

Moreover, aside from Gu Beicheng’s words, she had learned a lot and made great progress herself.

Come to think of it, whether Gu Beicheng deceived her or not, she had still gained a lot.

"I heard Mr. Ling will hold a press conference in a couple of days to annul your engagement. Do you know about this?" Feng Yan’s voice continued.

"Yes." Xia Yinian nodded again, "Brother Ling Qian already told me."

"The engagement between him and me was just a contract; it’s ending early, that’s all."

The annulment of the engagement was a relief for her.

However, Xia Yinian didn’t know what this meant for Gu Lingqian, and she didn’t understand why Brother Ling Qian chose this moment to do it.

Xia Yinian suddenly became quiet, and Feng Yan felt it wasn’t appropriate to ask more.

After a while, she put Old Master’s legs back under the blanket and breathed a sigh of relief as she stood up.

"Ah Yen, I know there have been issues on the Gu Family’s side, but no one has told me. Do you think you could tell me?" Xia Yinian looked at Feng Yan.

"If Uncle still wants me to stay, I’ll listen, but I need to figure this out."

Uncle was most worried about Grandma’s treatment. The conditions for their studio’s cooperation were agreed upon, then suddenly she was sent to Yaoshan.

The more she thought about it, the less simple it seemed.

"I don’t know Gu Beicheng’s plan, I’m just here to keep you safe." Feng Yan glanced at her, "Go back and rest."

Xia Yinian knew he wouldn’t say anything, just like Gu Beicheng and Brother Ling Qian.

In the end, she nodded and left Old Master’s room.

She didn’t believe Grandma wouldn’t call her at all. Was something actually wrong with Grandma?

Even though Xia Yinian tried not to think about it, she couldn’t help but overthink.

Back in her room, she leaned back on the sofa and let out a light sigh.

To keep her mind from wandering, she kept herself busy every day, but unfortunately, when night fell, she would still let her mind run wild.

Especially when she thought of Grandma’s kind smile, Xia Yinian was increasingly convinced of one fact.

More than half a month had passed, and she hadn’t heard a word from Grandma.

She took out her phone, checked the time, nine-thirty, Grandma should be about to go to sleep, right?

Feeling anxious and uneasy, Xia Yinian dialed the number for Old Madam Gu for the second time since she arrived in Yaoshan.

The phone rang for about thirty seconds before it was answered.

Xia Yinian bit her lip and said, "Hello?"

"Who is this?" A slightly indifferent voice of the Old Madam came through.

The voice was still familiar to Xia Yinian, but the tone seemed different.

Xia Yinian breathed a sigh of relief, at least she could still answer the phone, right?

When she was about to reveal her identity, another female voice came from the other end.

"Old Madam, why aren’t you asleep yet? Go to sleep, don’t play with your phone."
