She hesitated, then turned around to also take her purse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Grandma was really coming, it meant she really had to leave soon; it made sense to take her purse with her as she went downstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exiting her room, she reached the staircase just as she came face to face with a cold face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing at Nangong Feifei, who was also heading downstairs, Gu Qiangwei averted her gaze and began stepping down the stairs with a rather cold expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching her slender back, Nangong Feifei clenched the hand by her side, growing more irritated by the moment.
