Chapter 21 Unexpected Discovery
In the afternoon of the next day, Gu Qingyin arrived at the coffee shop on time.
Chen Ling is also a busy person. This time she came to Yuncheng to accept a commission. She didn't have time to eat, but she still had time to drink a cup of coffee.
There was a traffic jam on the road, so Gu Qingyin arrived a little late. When she walked in, she saw Liu Ergou and Chen Ling, sitting in the corner.
"Sorry, I'm late." Gu Qingyin sat down and greeted with an embarrassed smile, "Senior Sister Chen, long time no see."
Chen Ling's eyes were complicated, "Long time no see, but you... haven't changed at all."
Gu Qingyin immediately started exchanging business blows, "Senior Sister Chen has not changed much." She gave a thumbs up, "You are good at keeping your appearance!"
Chen Ling's fingers holding the coffee cup turned slightly white, and she immediately thought of the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. Was Gu Qingyin mocking her?
At this moment, Liu Ergou, who had no eyesight, suddenly said, "I thought Senior Sister Chen had an ageless appearance before, but compared with Qingyin, she still looks older. If I remember correctly, Senior Sister Chen is younger than Qingyin." A few months.”
Chen Ling's expression was a bit ugly. She was indeed a few months younger than Gu Qingyin. In the past, every time Gu Qingyin called her senior sister, she couldn't help but feel happy, but now, she doesn't want to hear this title at all!
Gu Qingyin smiled and said, "Yes, I was unhappy before because I wanted to call her senior sister, but with my seniority, I have to call her even if I am unhappy."
Liu Ergou suddenly burst into gloating laughter.
Chen Ling could only laugh along, but she felt angry and the curve of her lips became very stiff.
Gu Qingyin noticed it and casually asked with concern: "Senior Sister Chen, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"Maybe I've been too busy recently." Chen Ling touched her face and asked casually: "Where has Junior Sister Qingyin been in the past few years? Why have you never been out and about?"
The mission I took on was directly connected to the top management of the Mystic Arts Association, and the people below didn't know the news at all. After all these years, I don’t know if this mission is still classified.
Gu Qingyin hesitated and did not speak, but Liu Ergou said mysteriously: "Qingyin got married and had children!"
Chen Ling was shocked for a second, "Qingyin?!"
Gu Qingyin nodded helplessly, okay, let's keep the mission a secret for now.
Chen Ling didn't understand. Could getting married and having children delay aging? After chatting, she was absent-minded all the time. All she could think about was how Gu Qingyin did it.
It wasn't until she left the cafe and turned around that she had an idea.
Could it be possible that Gu Qingyin practiced some evil magic?
The more Chen Ling thought about it, the more it seemed possible. She also remembered that Gu Qingyin said that her husband died ten years ago. What happens next? Did Gu Qingyin refine and absorb her husband's soul and use it to nourish her beauty?
Now that she knows about such a vicious sorcery, she will never pretend to be deaf and dumb, even if the person who uses the sorcery is her old friend.
——
On the other side, Gu Qingyin was also complaining to Liu Ergou, "It's so embarrassing, my mother, we don't know each other very well, and there is a gap of twenty years between us, so we have nothing to talk about!"
Especially when Chen Ling refused to even respond perfunctorily later, she probably regretted coming out to meet today just like her.
Liu Ergou stroked his beard and pondered, are you embarrassed? Why doesn't he feel it?
With a slight cough, Liu Ergou changed the subject, "Where are you going? Shall I see you off?"
Gu Qingyin shook her head, "This is close to my son's company. I'm going to visit the class." She wanted to make a surprise inspection to see if Huo Xingye had eaten on time.
Liu Ergou nodded, "I will fly back to Longhu Mountain in the evening."
"Why are you in such a hurry to go back?"
"Oh, I've been out for a long time, I have to go back and take care of my apprentice."
Gu Qingyin was startled for a moment, "You have reached the age of taking care of a disciple." Liu Ergou smiled bitterly, "Before I got married, I felt the pain of raising a child in advance. It is too difficult to teach a disciple. You must have had a similar experience, right? ”
Gu Qingyin touched her nose guiltily. She was married and had a child, but she didn't have the chance to experience the pain of raising a child. I'm sorry that I really can't empathize with it.
Fortunately, Liu Ergou just sighed casually and had no intention of continuing the discussion.
Gu Qingyin breathed a sigh of relief, watched Liu Ergou leave, then turned and walked in the direction of Huo's.
It was still early, so she walked around and looked at the small shops on both sides of the street. When she saw something she wanted to eat, she went to buy one. When she got downstairs from Huo's, her hands were already full with bags.
Gu Qingyin sighed. There was definitely too much to eat, but there were so many delicious things. Each one exuded a tempting fragrance to seduce her. She really couldn't control it!
As soon as Gu Qingyin walked in, the scent of various snacks wafted out.
The two young ladies at the front desk looked up at her.
Gu Qingyin paused, raised her hand slightly, and asked tentatively: "I accidentally bought too much. Do you want some?"
Five minutes later, Gu Qingyin went upstairs feeling relaxed, but the company's gossip group exploded. Everyone who saw the message got up silently and went downstairs. The snacks were not unusual, but the people who brought them were strange.
Being able to eat something brought by Mr. Huo's family, wouldn't rounding it off be the same as being treated to a meal by Mr. Huo? ! This opportunity is rare, you must rush!
As soon as Gu Qingyin came out of the elevator, she met a secretary. Just as the secretary was about to say hello with a smile, Gu Qingyin made a "shh" gesture and asked in a low voice: "Is Huo Xingye in the office?"
The secretary nodded with a smile and reminded: "Assistant Xue is here too."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Gu Qingyin responded with an "OK" gesture. She would definitely not disturb her son's normal work, so she went to wait at the door and waited for them to finish talking before going in.
Coincidentally, the office door was not closed tightly, and Gu Qingyin heard Xue Ning's voice as soon as she approached.
"...Ms. Wen's health is not serious, she just needs a long period of recovery. When she is discharged from the hospital, do she still need to be sent back to your apartment?"
A question popped up in Gu Qingyin's head, who is Miss Wen? Why send him to Huo Xingye's apartment? Instantly, she thought of her friend who was recuperating at Huo Xingye's house.
"No, you don't need to report to me about her affairs in the future." Huo Xingye said in a calm voice, "It's not sweet to force yourself."
Xue Ning seemed to laugh, "It's good if you can figure it out." After a pause, he probably couldn't hold it back, and then said: "Although Mistress has been back for a short time, you have changed a lot and are more humane than before. ”
"Are you very free?" Huo Xingye's voice was cold.
"Ahem, the master of the house has no other instructions, so I went out first."
Gu Qingyin was still thinking about Miss Wen and didn't pay much attention to what was going on in the office. As a result, she looked up and met Xue Ning's eyes.
"Mother?" Xue Ning was a little surprised, her eyes flashed slightly and asked: "When did you come? Have you been waiting for a long time?"
Gu Qingyin's expression was as usual, "I just came here, and the secretary said that you were chatting about something. I wanted to wait for a while, but I didn't expect you to finish talking so quickly."
Xue Ning nodded and smiled, "It's not a big deal, please come in."
When Gu Qingyin entered, Xue Ning closed the door of the office and strode away - whether the mistress heard it or not, it had nothing to do with him.
