It took several minutes for Lu Shenglin to knock on her daughter's door, and her face was unusually grim: "Qianqian, why didn't you open the door for mother?"
This being her first encounter with such a situation, Gu Qianqian's heart was thumping like a rabbit's.
But remembering Lu Zhanbei's instructions, she tried to remain calm in order not to arouse her mother's suspicions: "I didn't refuse to open the door for you! I was just a bit slow..."
"So slow, what were you doing inside?"
Knowing her mother would ask this, she quickly prepared an answer: "I accidentally dropped some food on my skirt during dinner, I was in the bathroom washing it, so I was a bit late coming out!"
Lu Shenglin gave her a skeptical look, so Gu Qianqian pulled at her skirt: "Look, my skirt is still wet..."
Hearing this, Lu Shenglin unconsciously glanced at her skirt, but her instincts told her that her daughter's reaction was strange, so she still didn't quite believe this story.
