Qin Youbei was utterly bewildered.
Her face registered shock and terror; her heart and stomach seemed to have dropped to the floor. She swallowed hard, her lips moved as if she wanted to curse out loud, but she held back.
It was so embarrassing. What could she possibly say?
Perhaps it was best to say nothing at all, to save what little face she had left.
Qin Youbei was both angry and annoyed, her ears reddening, but she said nothing and hurried out.
Gu Xiao curved her lips into a smile and leaned back in the chair: "..."
In the computer were Grandma and Mom, both covering their faces with their hands, yet peeking through their fingers.
Grandma's mouth was turned up in a suppressed smile, pretending to be calm, she said, "It's good to see you both getting along so well. I'm happy about that. With just over a month left until the New Year, bring her home to celebrate with us."
