But the blood relationship cannot be changed by Qiu Lingxue no matter what!
Although she has deliberately escaped over the years, she still cannot draw a clear line between herself and the Qiu family.
Especially, Qiu Lingxue is now at the age of marriage...
If she doesn't have a boyfriend, or breaks up with Gu Yichen, they will immediately look for the next family who can help the Qiu family.
Regardless of age, appearance, whether she likes him or not, as long as he is suitable, he will definitely force her to continue dating and get married.
Qiu Lingxue's head started to hurt when she thought of this, and her brows knitted together.
'Ding dong... ding dong...'
At this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang outside.
Qiu Lingxue was stunned for a moment, with a surprised light in her eyes. After gathering her emotions, she walked out.
However, what she didn't expect was that as soon as she opened the door, she saw Mrs. Gu's kind face.
The astonishment in Qiu Lingxue's eyes became even stronger, "Auntie, why are you here?"
Because Qiu Lingxue was dissatisfied with her family's patriarchal attitude, she moved out to live alone in these years.
And now, Mrs. Gu has actually come. How did she know this place?
Mrs. Gu's eyes were full of love, "I see you like eating these little meatballs. You made some more overnight last night. I originally wanted you to take them with you when you left this morning, but I have no memory.
, I actually forgot all about it this morning, so I asked someone to check your address and delivered it to you personally."
When she said this, she paused and a cautious look appeared in her eyes.
"Ling Xue, you won't be angry if I came here rashly, right?"
Although she said she was here to deliver something, Mrs. Gu felt that she was still a little too presumptuous.
Qiu Lingxue didn't expect that Mrs. Gu would come in person just to give her something to eat...
Her eyes trembled slightly, and warm currents passed through her heart one after another. It was an indescribable feeling.
It's ridiculous to say that Mrs. Gu is actually kinder to her than her biological mother!!!
Qiu Lingxue dares to guarantee that her mother must not know what she likes to eat!
"How could it be?" Her expression softened, she raised the corners of her lips slightly, and replied: "Aunt Gu, you can come, I can't even be happy."
When Mrs. Gu heard this, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She was really afraid of disturbing Qiu Lingxue...
Qiu Lingxue invited her into the apartment and poured her a glass of water.
"Aunt Gu, from now on, you can just let the servants do small things like delivering things. Why come here in person?"
Qiu Lingxue didn't want her to work too hard.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Mrs. Gu shook her head and said with a smile: "I don't worry about them sending me away, and I also want to see more of you."
She loves this little girl from the bottom of her heart.
Qiu Lingxue's back paused slightly, and her clear eyes sank slightly.
If Mrs. Gu knew the truth, would she still treat herself like this?
Mrs. Gu turned her eyes, looked at the indoor environment, and found Qiu Lingxue's small apartment.
Although it is not big, it is well-equipped and the layout is very warm, giving people a sense of comfort.
Immediately, Mrs. Qiu's eyes stayed on the suitcase packed and placed at the door, and asked with concern: "Ling Xue, is the business trip confirmed?"
Qiu Lingxue hummed slightly and replied: "It has been decided and we will set off the day after tomorrow."
Mrs. Gu nodded, "Okay, then you and Yichen must pay attention to safety after arriving abroad. We will keep in touch at all times."
Hearing this, Qiu Lingxue couldn't help but show a hint of astonishment on her face.
Didn't Gu Yichen say that he would find a solution on his mother's side?
Why does Mrs. Gu still want Gu Yichen to go there now?
What is going on?!
Mrs. Gu looked at the future daughter-in-law in front of her. She really liked her more and more, and the corners of her lips were raised.
She seemed to suddenly remember something, and said from behind: "By the way, Ling Xue, don't worry, my aunt will always be on your side."
Qiu Lingxue felt confused when she heard this. She was completely baffled and did not understand the meaning of her words at all.
"What?"
Mrs. Gu explained to her what happened this morning.
It turned out that after Gu Yichen delivered Qiu Lingxue this morning, he went back to Gu's house.
He told Mrs. Gu that he had a very important contract to sign in the next two days that he had been fighting for for a long time.
The other client only recognized him, and it was useless for Gu's father to do it for him, so Gu Yichen had to stay in the imperial capital and could no longer accompany Qiu Lingxue on business trips.
However……
After Mrs. Gu listened, she was indifferent and refused directly.
What contract could be more important than his future wife?!
This time Qiu Lingxue went on a business trip, and Gu Yichen had to accompany her.
Mrs. Gu said with a serious face: "Ling Xue, as long as Auntie is here, that brat Gu Yichen will never try to steal a little bit of laziness from you!!!"
She knew Qiu Lingxue's situation in the Qiu family, so she was particularly partial to her and wanted her to feel happy in the Gu family.
Qiu Lingxue: "..."
Her mood at the moment was both touched and helpless.
Qiu Lingxue was touched that Mrs. Gu favored her so much.
But unfortunately she and Gu Yichen were just a fake couple. She really didn't want to go with him on this business trip!!!
Mrs. Gu continued: "Ling Xue, on this business trip, treat that brat Yichen as your accompanying bodyguard. If you have anything to do, just ask him. If there is anything you like, let him pay. If he
If he dares to disobey you, call your aunt and I will treat him!"
Qiu Lingxue saw Mrs. Gu thinking about her so much. The words of rejection came to her lips, but she couldn't say them out, and her head grew bigger.
She really couldn't bear to let down Mrs. Gu's kindness.
Forget it, if it doesn’t work out, I’ll discuss it with Xixi tonight and add one more person...
Besides, Gu Yichen himself was quite capable, and he was Qin Yihan's good brother.
What if he can help when Ruirui is rescued?
Thinking of this, Qiu Lingxue became less resistant and agreed with a smile.
Mrs. Gu was in a better mood and continued chatting with her in the apartment.
…
At the other end, the Qin family villa.
Qiao Xixi sat in front of the computer in the bedroom, tapping on it quickly with her fingers, and worked together with Brother Lu to investigate Henry and William's information, which appeared in front of the computer screen.
These two people are not the Duke's children, but have a relationship similar to that of cousins.
Henry's father is a famous duke in the royal family, and his mother is the sister of the former queen. He has an extremely dazzling background and is highly favored. It is no exaggeration to say that he grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth and in the palm of his hand...
