“Mrs. Gu, what’s wrong?” a tall woman standing next to Qin Zhi’ai reached out and asked her.

“My… my stomach hurts…” Qin Zhi’ai seemed to be feeling so much pain that her voice trembled, but no one noticed the hint of coldness that flashed in her downcast eyes.

If her arm had not been held tightly by Jiang Qianqian, she would have gone at that very moment.

In the eyes of the others, they were sisters that cared about each other, but Qin Zhi’ai knew very well that Jiang Qianqian was afraid of her escaping, which would put her scheme to an end, so she deliberately held her intimately.

However, just because Jiang Qianqian was holding Qin Zhi’ai’s arm, Qin Zhi’ai could increase the angle she bent down at to tilt Jiang Qianqian forward while she pretended the stomachache was worsening. Thus, Jiang Qianqian moved her sights to Gu Yusheng and stopped calling for him.

The surrounding people couldn’t see what had happened between Qin Zhi’ai and Jiang Qianqian. Everyone had just thought that Jiang Qianqian couldn’t stay on her feet when Qin Zhi’ai suddenly bent down, so they didn’t care that much and started showing their concern toward Qin Zhi’ai.

“Why did you suddenly get a stomachache?”

“Mrs. Gu, where do you feel pain?”

Although Jiang Qianqian was pretty sure of what had just happened, she had to put up with Qin Zhi’ai’s little trick. Even when she was angry that Qin Zhi’ai had ruined her scheme and she was the center of attention, she still pretended to be worried and asked anxiously, “Sister Kou, where do you feel uncomfortable? Why are you shaking so terribly? Do you have to see a doctor?”

“Right! Right! You see, we were so worried that we forgot. Call an ambulance, quickly!” What Jiang Qianqian said randomly reminded someone to call an ambulance, so someone took out her cell phone out to dial emergency services.

Qin Zhi’ai pretended to be feeling a lot of pain, and squeezed out several words to stop the person. “No… there’s no need…”

“You look so miserable, how can you not need to go to the hospital?”

“Even if you don’t want to go to the hospital, we have to call a doctor to see you.”

“I—I’m fine.” Qin Zhi’ai took a deep breath, as if she was suffering a sudden pain in her stomach, “It’s…” After a short pause, she came up with an excuse that even the doctor could do nothing about, “Menstrual pain.”

All of the women there were relieved and became less anxious after hearing what she said.

Qin Zhi’ai was afraid that Gu Yusheng and his grandfather would be attracted there by the growing group of people, so she immediately said, “I’m very sorry for your anxiety caused by my sudden pain.”

Saying that, Qin Zhi’ai seemed to smile painfully, and said goodbye to them. “I should rest upstairs. Have fun down here!”
