"Brother..." Gu Ci stood at the foot of the steps and waved to him.
Jiang Junlin quickly walked down the steps. Gu Ci rushed over and hugged him. Her eyes were slightly red. Jiang Junlin gently touched her head and said, "Xiao Ci, I'm tired."
"As long as you're fine!"
Qin Wan was jealous and snorted, "I want to hug you too."
Jiang Junlin poked her forehead with his finger and pushed her away. Qin Wan was angry and jumped up to hit him, but he still had no courage. Qin Wan smiled grandly and said, "Master, you have been imprisoned again and again. You have lost weight.
Is it almost twenty pounds gone?"
Jiang Junlin, "..."
Gu Ci looked at Jiang Junlin's thin face and said, "Grandpa and grandma must be very distressed when they see you."
"Let's go home!" Jiang Junlin glanced at Dr. North, "You have worked hard too."
"It's what I should do!" Dr. North was a little nervous. She always wanted to get Jiang Junlin's affirmation and forgive her for her betrayal.
Gu Ci called Gu Ziyu, "Ziyu, when will you get off work? My mother and uncle are both outside. Let's go home together."
Gu Ziyu looked at the big bosses in the conference room and said that the meeting was over and we would discuss it next time, but they had a good understanding and came back again. Gu Ziyu said, "Mom, I might be a little late from get off work, don't wait for me. Just bring me something delicious to eat."
"Okay!" Gu Ci chuckled and said, "Then you should eat less for dinner and save your stomach for a midnight snack together."
"good!"
North drove, Qin Wan sat in the passenger seat, Gu Ci and Jiang Junlin were behind. Qin Wan had notified Zhang Qiang to bring the guards to stand by at Jiang's house. Gu Ci said, "Uncle Chen said he would do it in three days, but he didn't expect it to be done in one day.
It’s very efficient.”
"How did you persuade Mr. Zhang to come over?" Jiang Junlin asked.
"I threatened him." Gu Ci said, "If he doesn't abandon Lin Qing, I will clear him from the suspicion of this matter. Mr. Zhang values the family honor more than his life, so he will definitely abandon Lin Qing.
"
"You don't have to go to him, he will figure it out." Jiang Junlin said softly, "The Zhang family has nothing to do with this matter, but he probably knows who is involved. If you don't go to him, he will be there in a few days."
You will wake up."
"I can't wait any longer." Gu Ci just wanted Jiang Junlin to come out quickly.
Qin Wan asked, "Will he take revenge?"
"No!" Jiang Junlin said, "He felt that his authority was being challenged. When he was angry, he would say some angry words, but when he came back to his senses, he would be grateful to Xiao Ci and he quickly distanced himself from the matter.
No matter what kind of trial Lin Qing gets, it has nothing to do with the Zhang family."
"That's good!"
"Brother, will they send someone to decentralize power?" Gu Ci asked the most critical point.
"It's inevitable." Jiang Junlin said, "The Jidao is in charge of such a large amount of funds, and everyone is tempted. It's not that they are greedy for money, but that this money can do a lot for them."
Money makes the world go round, as the saying goes.
Used in people's livelihood and science and technology, it can be regarded as a great political achievement.
"Damn it, will Master resign?" Qin Wan said, "If you want to resign, I won't do it either."
"It's not that bad." Jiang Junlin was a little tired, "Let's not talk about official matters for now. I'm a little tired."
"Okay, let's not talk about it then. Let's go home and take a good bath and have a meal first."
After Jiang Junlin returned to Jiang's house, North and Qin Wan left together. Grandpa Jiang and Jiang Minghua both knew what he had gone through and did not ask any more questions. He was just fine. Lin Chunli and Grandma Jiang felt sorry for him because he had lost a lot of weight during the business trip and were ready.
Lots of food and family reunion.
Jiang Minghua wanted to ask about the Ji Dao, but Jiang Junlin kept him away. The less his family knew about the matter, the better. After it was confirmed that it was Lin Qing, Jiang Minghua felt very complicated.
After Jiang Junlin went upstairs to freshen up, grandma also caressed Gu Ci's face distressedly, "Brother has lost a lot of weight, why have you lost a lot of weight too? You look like you are not in good spirits. Have you been worried about anything recently?"
"Grandma, I'm fine. I just can't get used to it when I go out to play."
She explained this way, but the old man still felt distressed and told her to eat well and sleep well. Gu Ci felt warm in her heart when she heard this. Gu Ci has a relatively lonely temperament and has been used to being withdrawn since she was a child. Since she met the Jiang family, except for Jiang Junlin, in fact,
After New Year's Eve, it gradually became clear that they were a family.
"Grandma, have you slept well recently? Are you feeling any heart discomfort?"
"It's good, but there was no news from Junlin some time ago. I was worried and always felt flustered. Everything will be fine when he comes back." Grandma Jiang held her hand affectionately. The more she looked at her, the more distressed she became. She always felt that Gu Ci was troubled.
"Xiao Ci, if there is anything you can't handle, you must tell us. As long as we are here, no one will bully you."
"Okay, I remember."
Jiang Junlin still had injuries on his back. Wan Changtian sent someone to take care of them when he was in prison. During this period, he mostly rested and the scabs were almost formed. After he washed himself, he changed his clothes and went downstairs. Jiang Minghua didn't mention it.
Regarding Lin Qing, the family had a reunion dinner and enjoyed themselves happily.
Jiang Junlin looked at the Buddha jumping over the wall on the dining table and shook his head.
When he was imprisoned by Ji Xun, he often ate Buddha Jumping Over the Wall. Ji Xun's skill... almost turned Buddha Jumping Over the Wall into his most hated dish.
Gu Ci also served food to grandma and grandpa and picked some interesting things to make them happy.
"Xiao Ci is a little more cheerful." Lin Chunli and Jiang Minghua whispered, very pleased that Gu Ci and Zi Yu often come back for dinner. Zi Yu is a pistachio, lively and cute.
Gu Ci, however, was very silent, answering whatever was asked, and rarely took the initiative to care about others.
They knew that Gu Ci was relatively withdrawn and did not like to communicate with them. They had always been cautious. On New Year's Eve, Gu Ci did not come to dinner. Grandpa and grandma were actually very sad. They felt that Gu Ci did not want to get close to them because it was Gu Zi.
After Yu explained again and again, they finally plucked up the courage to come to Lantian Villa to spend New Year's Eve together.
They were afraid that Gu Ci would be unhappy and that Gu Ci would hate them.
"Grandma, let me serve the soup for you."
"well……"
Gu Ci stood up and helped her fill a bowl of soup. She was startled and her face changed drastically. She looked at her wrist and asked, "Where's my bracelet?"
"What's wrong?" Jiang Junlin asked.
"My bracelet fell off!" Gu Ci turned pale and hurriedly looked for it, "You guys eat first, I'll look for it!"
"Xiao Ci doesn't look right." Grandpa watched Gu Ci looking for a bracelet worriedly, "I lost one of my bracelets, and I'm so devastated, so I just bought another one."
"Dad, I have been wearing that small porcelain bracelet. Although it is not expensive, it is handmade." Lin Chunli observed carefully, "There is a small tag with Lu Zhiyuan's head on it, which may have been given by him."
Grandma and Lin Chunli got up to help her find it.
Jiang Junlin thought he would find it soon, but he didn't expect that Gu Ci searched around and couldn't find it. His expression became more and more uncomfortable, anxious and frightened, and the corners of his eyes were slightly red.
