Lin Jinya realized that she had lost her composure. She immediately put on a fake smile and walked up to him. "Hecheng, who are they?"
"My friend's children." Gu Hecheng did not even raise his eyebrows as he said flatly.
"Oh." Lin Jinya put on a fake smile when she saw Gu Hecheng's gentle eyes. She immediately pretended to be gentle and affectionate. "Oh, you are so cute. When will your mother come to pick you up?"
Xiao Kong and Xiao Yuan both narrowed their eyes and stared at her with hostility. They did not speak.
Lin Jinya twitched her mouth awkwardly and pretended that nothing had happened. She stood up and took Gu Hecheng's arm. "Hecheng, look at how cute the children are. I want to give birth to one for you too!"
"So we have to get married soon and have a baby, okay?" Lin Jinya deliberately shook his arm as if she was trying to win his favor, but Gu Hecheng pulled his hand away impatiently.
"Why are you back so early?" Gu Hecheng frowned unhappily.
When Lin Jinya joined the company, she said that she would work hard, except for the period when Gu Hecheng gave her a vacation. But now she had become more and more casual.
She hardly did any work and went in and out of the company all day long as if she was the boss's wife. Gu Hecheng found it more and more unacceptable.
"From tomorrow on, you don't have to go to the company." Gu Hecheng finally looked up, but his eyes were cold without a trace of warmth.
"I don't want to affect the company's daily operation for other reasons. If you don't want to stay idle, find another job."
Gu Hecheng's firm words made Lin Jinya's heart tremble. She knew that he was really angry.
"Hecheng, I know. Don't be angry." Lin Jinya hurriedly reached out to hold his hand and said, "I know I was wrong. I promise I won't do it again. Please believe me."
"I'll say it one more time. There won't be a next time. Don't go there again." Gu Hecheng pulled his hand away. His gaze was firm.
Seeing that there was really no hope in this matter, Lin Jinya could only smile awkwardly and change the topic.
"Okay, I got it. Hecheng, where are you taking them?" Lin Jinya bent down and squeezed out a smile.
"I'm just taking a walk," Gu Hecheng said calmly.
"I see. Why don't you let them play with me?" Lin Jinya tried to hold Yuan's hand.
"Let's go to my room. There's something fun in my room." Lin Jinya pulled Yuan and was about to walk into the room.
Xiao Kong had been silently sizing her up. His gaze was so deep that he didn't look like a child.
Lin Jinya could sense the caution and vigilance in his eyes. Although she felt uncomfortable, she suppressed it in front of Gu Hecheng.
"Xiao Kong …" Yuan looked at Xiao Kong for help. Xiao Kong pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.
"He Cheng, look, they're willing to play with me. You can go and do your work. Just leave them to me."
Lin Jinya deliberately pushed Gu Hecheng and asked him to go about his business. She wanted to seize this opportunity to show him that she was kind and gentle and liked children.
Gu Hecheng's eyes fell on Xiao Kong's face. He found that he didn't like Lin Jinya very much, but he agreed. This made him very confused and curious.
As if he wanted to see what would happen next, Gu Hecheng smiled slightly and sat back on the sofa without saying anything.
Xiao Kong and Yuan followed Lin Jinya upstairs. Gu Hecheng looked up absent-mindedly from time to time. Mother Liu was also flustered when she was washing a cup.
"Clang!" The sound of a cup falling on the ground attracted Gu Hecheng's attention.
He turned around and saw Mother Liu picking up the tempered glass on the ground in a panic. She seemed to be at a loss.
"Mother Liu, what's wrong with you today? Why do you look so absent-minded?" Gu Hecheng got up slowly and walked behind Mother Liu.
"No, nothing." Mother Liu lowered her head and explained in a panic, "Maybe I didn't sleep well last night."
"Sir, I'm done. I'll go out to buy some ingredients. I'll be back soon." Mother Liu said and started to walk out.
"Mother Liu, wait." Gu Hecheng stopped Mother Liu. "Didn't someone just deliver some fresh ingredients this morning? Did you forget?"
"Oh." Mother Liu slapped her forehead and said in annoyance, "Sir, I'm so sorry. Maybe I'm old and my brain isn't working properly."
Gu Hecheng was sizing up Mother Liu when the door upstairs suddenly opened. Then he saw Xiao Kong and Yuan running down in a hurry.
"What's wrong?" Gu Hecheng asked nervously when he saw the aggrieved look on their faces.
"Auntie is so fierce." Yuan choked with sobs and tears welled up in his eyes.
"Xiao Kong, what's going on?" Gu Hecheng pulled Xiao Kong. Before he finished his words, Lin Jinya followed them out with a painful expression.
Xiao Kong pretended to be afraid and hid behind Gu Hecheng. He said pitifully, "I don't know. Auntie changed her clothes and came out. But as soon as she sat down, she asked us what we did. We didn't do anything."
"You!" Lin Jinya looked like she was in pain as she walked down the stairs. She pointed at Xiao Kong and Xiao Yuan, but she didn't say anything.
"What's going on?" Gu Hecheng stood in front of them and questioned Lin Jinya.
Lin Jinya looked like she was in a dilemma. She thought for a moment and said, "Forget it. Maybe I misunderstood."
Obviously, she wanted to cover up this topic, but Xiao Kong didn't give her a chance.
"Auntie, you're so strange. Why did you suspect us of putting needles on the chair? Where do we get needles from? " Xiao Kong blinked innocently and looked at Gu Hecheng. "Auntie, do you use needles and thread every day?"
Gu Hecheng was stunned by his random words. "What needles?"
Xiao Kong shook his head. "I don't know."
"What's going on? Where did the needles come from? "Gu Hecheng stood up and looked at Lin Jinya angrily.
Lin Jinya was stunned. He felt like he had to suffer in silence. "No, nothing. Maybe I misunderstood. It shouldn't be needles."
"Maybe it was just pricked by something." Lin Jinya frowned regretfully. "Hecheng, I'm sorry. I didn't do it on purpose. I …"
"Okay, that's enough." Gu Hecheng waved his hand impatiently. Then, Hu Shuli called.
"Okay, I'll see them out." He glanced at Lin Jinya with dissatisfaction, turned around and walked out holding their hands.
As soon as Gu Hecheng and Lin Jinya left, Lin Jinya hurried upstairs and searched under her bed anxiously.
She found it!
Lin Jinya took out the photo that was stuck under the bed and found that the bag of needles on the back of the photo was gone.
"These two brats!" Lin Jinya clenched the photo tightly and sat on the bed angrily. However, as soon as she sat down, she felt pain again.
"Damn it!" Lin Jinya couldn't help swearing. He squatted by the bed and saw that there were four small needles stuck in the bed. Now, only one-third of them were exposed.
Lin Jinya gritted his teeth, threw the photo on the ground, and carefully found the needles hidden in other places in the room.
In the photo that was thrown on the ground, a woman's face had been pricked beyond recognition by the needles, but the shape of her face could still be recognized. The woman in the photo was none other than Shen Qianqian.
Under the night light, Xiao Kong and Xiao Yuan were sitting in the back of the car with their seat belts fastened.
Hu Shuli was driving alone, ready to send Xiao Kong back first.
Xiao Yuan secretly looked at Xiao Kong and raised his eyebrows proudly. "Xiao Kong, you're really good. That woman is really not a good person."
Xiao Kong smiled and didn't say anything. Xiao Yuan's voice was still ringing in his ears. "Who's the woman in the photo?"
"Nothing, but I can tell that she's not a good person." Xiao Kong said and looked out of the window.
Xiao Yuan couldn't tell who the woman in the photo was, but Xiao Kong could tell at a glance.
When Lin Jinya went to the bathroom to change clothes, he lowered his head and saw a corner of the photo peeking out from under the bed.
Xiao Kong was curious, so he pulled it out. He didn't expect to see a photo that made him feel shocked.
The woman in the photo was none other than Shen Qianqian, and there was a small bag of needles attached to the back of the photo.
Xiao Kong was so angry that he took out all the needles before Lin Jinya came out of the room and stuck them in the chair and the bed. He then sat close to Xiao Yuan on the edge of the bed.
After that, the scene that Xiao Kong described to Gu Hecheng happened. As soon as Lin Jinya sat down, he got up in pain, tore off his hypocritical mask, and questioned them in a shrill voice.
Xiao Kong looked out of the window and his eyes gradually darkened. He felt more and more that he had to figure out what was going on.
Shen Qianqian didn't know that Xiao Kong and Xiao Yuan were missing. After work, she received a call from Hu Shuli, who asked her to wait and she would be responsible for sending Xiao Kong back.
"What's going on?" Shen Qianqian pulled Xiao Kong back and looked at Hu Shuli in confusion.
Hu Shuli patted Xiao Kong and Xiao Yuan. "Go and play for a while. Mom has something to say to Auntie."
After Xiao Kong walked away, he stood there and looked at Shen Qianqian's expression. He saw that her face changed from confusion to shock, and then there seemed to be a trace of fear in the end.
Xiao Kong didn't understand, but he knew that Hu Shuli must have told her what happened today.
"Don't worry too much." Hu Shuli comforted her. "I didn't say anything about you to Gu Hecheng. I told him that Xiao Kong is my relative, so he won't think of you."
