"Sir, I'll go out first." Mother Liu could not wait to turn around and leave.
Gu Hecheng wanted to continue asking, but when he saw Lin Jinya's puzzled look, he finally restrained himself and let her leave.
After Mother Liu left, Lin Jinya saw that Gu Hecheng was about to leave too, so she quickly grabbed his arm and said, "Hecheng, what's wrong? You don't look very happy. Tell me what's wrong."
"It's nothing." Gu Hecheng sighed slightly and silently pulled Lin Jinya's hand away from his arm.
"I have something to do, so I'll go out first." Gu Hecheng finished speaking and was about to leave. He did not want to look at Lin Jinya at all.
"Hecheng! Hecheng! " Lin Jinya stomped her feet in anger. Looking at Gu Hecheng's back, she tried her best to resist the urge to throw her bag out.
Gu Hecheng drove away from the Gu family. Lin Jinya threw her bag angrily on the sofa and sat down.
Because Gu Hecheng did not allow her to go to the company again, she thought of Director Wang's birthday party and wanted to find a chance to try her luck in the entertainment industry.
She had just met Director Wang, but she did not expect to be politely rejected.
At the thought of this, Lin Jinya became even angrier.
She had come back to ask Gu Hecheng to help her get in through the back door and establish a good relationship with Director Wang. However, she did not expect that Gu Hecheng would leave without saying much.
Could it be that he was so unwelcome right now?
The more Lin Jinya thought about it, the angrier she became. She kicked the coffee table hard.
When she saw the fruit plate and desserts on the coffee table, she thought of Mother Liu.
"Mother Liu! Mother Liu! " Lin Jinya shouted angrily. After Mother Liu came in, she scolded her with dissatisfaction. "Didn't you see that I just came back from outside? Do you only care about Hecheng and don't care about me at all?"
Mother Liu frowned in dissatisfaction. She didn't know what was wrong with her.
"Miss Lin …"
"What Miss Lin!" Lin Jinya interrupted her sternly and looked at her arrogantly. "Are you looking down on me? You have to know that I'm going to be engaged to He Cheng soon. I'm going to be the future mistress of this house. Aren't you afraid that I'll chase you out …"
"Miss Lin, I don't care what you want to do. I thought you called me because you had something to tell me, but it seems that's not the case. I'll go out first. I'm here to be the housekeeper and cook, not to stand up for others!"
Mother Liu held her head high, completely ignoring Lin Jinya's threat.
"Mother Liu! What do you mean by this? "
Lin Jinya was so angry that she stood up from the sofa and shouted at Mother Liu. "Mother Liu, who gave you the guts to behave like this in front of me?"
"Let me tell you, from today on, you have to call me Madam. Otherwise, I will drive you out of this family sooner or later."
Lin Jinya pointed at Mother Liu aggressively, as if she was taking advantage of her position to bully others.
"No need. Since you don't like me so much, I won't stay in this family anymore." Mother Liu glared at Lin Jinya and said, "Don't worry about me. I will tell Sir myself!"
After Mother Liu finished speaking, she left the living room without any hesitation.
"Come back!" Lin Jinya shouted angrily behind her. "Are you not going to cook lunch now? Just wait and see. I will definitely ask Hecheng to drive you out."
Lin Jinya's stomping her feet made her look very much like a shrew in the marketplace.
However, Mother Liu did not care about Lin Jinya's behavior at all. She left the living room without looking back.
…
Shen Qianqian stood anxiously downstairs, waiting for Hu Shuli's arrival.
She had just received a call saying that Xiao Kong had been picked up from Gu Hecheng's house and was on his way to her.
Although He Yijia had asked her to sit at home and wait with her, Shen Qianqian could not sit still and insisted on waiting downstairs.
The black car stopped in front of Shen Qianqian. The door opened and Xiao Kong got out of the car with a guilty look on his face.
Xiao Kong stood in front of the car and looked at Shen Qianqian's pale face. He did not dare to speak and only looked at her with a pair of timid eyes.
"Xiao Kong, come over here." Shen Qianqian called out to Xiao Kong in a slightly hoarse voice. When Xiao Kong walked over slowly, she bent down and hugged him gently.
Shen Qianqian did not speak for a long time. Xiao Kong sniffed and said, "Mom, I am sorry. I will not run away from home willfully again and make you worry."
"Okay, Mom knows." Shen Qianqian sighed slightly. She was not as angry as before. She stroked his hair and kissed him on the top of his head. Then she got up.
"Qianqian, come here. I have something to tell you." Hu Shuli, who had been standing aside, thought for a while and called her over. She told her Gu Hecheng's words.
"Although he knows everything now and Xiao Kong did not say anything, I feel that he seems to be suspicious about this matter." Hu Shuli turned to look at Xiao Kong. "After all, the two of them are somewhat similar. Gu Hecheng has seen this child several times. It is inevitable that he will think more about it."
"I don't know how much he will believe what I tell him. Anyway, you should be more careful in the future."
"Okay."
Hu Shuli thought for a while and said, "Qianqian, I feel that it is not safe for you to work at my place."
"Huh?" Shen Qianqian raised her head and looked at her in confusion.
Hu Shuli was also reluctant to part with her and said, "Qianqian, don't forget what kind of person Gu Hecheng is. Since he has doubts about this matter, do you think he will just sit and wait?"
"What kind of person is Gu Hecheng? Only he doesn't want to find out. If you don't hide it well, you won't be able to escape his eyes." Hu Shuli patted Shen Qianqian's arm gently and said reluctantly, "I definitely don't want you to leave. But for your sake, I still think that you should listen to your cousin."
"You have his support. Once you enter that industry, he will definitely do a good job of keeping all your secrets. Moreover, Dongling Group and Gu's Group are evenly matched. Gu Hecheng definitely won't be able to do anything to him."
Hu Shuli looked at Shen Qianqian's frown and nodded. "I know you have concerns, but I still think this is the best way. This way, you will have a lot of mobility at work, and it will be difficult for him to find you."
"Okay." Shen Qianqian pondered for a long time. She was indeed moved. "President Hu, thank you."
"If you don't work at my company in the future, just call me sister." Hu Shuli smiled and said, "We are friends."
"Okay." Shen Qianqian nodded gratefully. Then she calmed down and walked towards Xiao Kong.
Xiao Kong stood beside He Yijia obediently. He looked at Shen Qianqian's back until she walked towards him, her eyes full of worry.
Looking at her haggard appearance, Xiao Kong felt a little distressed. He secretly looked up at He Yijia and said, "Uncle Ho, is Mom very sad today?"
He Yijia looked down at Xiao Kong. He thought for a while and squatted down. "Yes, Xiao Kong, you can't do that again, okay?"
"Okay. Uncle Ho, I know I was wrong. I won't do it again." Xiao Kong looked at He Yijia sincerely. "And Uncle, I'm sorry that I was against you in the past."
"It's okay." Hearing this, He Yijia smiled with relief. Although this matter left everyone hanging on a breath, the result seemed to be good.
"Uncle doesn't care. Okay, let's go to your mom." He Yijia and Xiao Kong walked to Shen Qianqian. He pushed Xiao Kong forward gently and looked at her worriedly. "Qianqian, have a good rest."
"Okay." Shen Qianqian held Xiao Kong in her arms and said gratefully to He Yijia, "Yijia, thank you."
He Yijia looked at Shen Qianqian tenderly. He patted her shoulder and left with Hu Shuli.
After Xiao Kong and Shen Qianqian went upstairs, Shen Qianqian did not say much to Xiao Kong. Instead, she went to find something to do.
"Mom …" Seeing that Shen Qianqian did not scold him this time, Xiao Kong felt even more uneasy.
Xiao Kong looked at Shen Qianqian's busy back and knew that she was probably really hurt by his actions. So he walked to Shen Qianqian and grabbed her hand that was wiping the table. "Mom, Xiao Kong knows that he is wrong. You can hit and scold me."
Shen Qianqian glanced at him faintly. She had mixed feelings and did not know what to say for a moment.
"Forget it, Xiao Kong. Since you are back, it's okay. Mom won't scold you this time." Shen Qianqian pulled out her hand silently and smiled at Xiao Kong. But the smile looked a little weak.
"Xiao Kong …" Shen Qianqian saw Xiao Kong silently lowering his head. She could not bear to see Xiao Kong sit down on the sofa and asked, "Do you have something to say?"
"Yes." Xiao Kong suddenly raised his head. His eyes were a little happy and a little confused. "Mom, don't worry. I didn't say anything to that uncle. But I have a question that I have always wanted to ask. Can I really ask?"
Xiao Kong blinked his starry eyes at her. Shen Qianqian was helpless. She sighed slightly and said, "Xiao Kong, you can ask."
Although Shen Qianqian knew that she would not answer truthfully, at least she had to give Xiao Kong a chance to ask. She could not just block him like before.
"Mom, do you really not know that uncle?" Xiao Kong asked tentatively. His sharp eyes stared at her face closely.
Shen Qianqian pursed her lips and shook her head. "No."
"Is he really not my father?"
Before Xiao Kong finished his words, Shen Qianqian looked at him with her eyes wide open because of surprise.
Shen Qianqian did not expect that even though she tried her best to deny that they knew each other, he still thought about it.
