I originally thought that this recording session would end with this brilliant fireworks display, but unexpectedly, when I was leaving, the photography assistant reminded Gu Qianjing,
”Teacher Gu, because the other two groups of mothers did not complete their tasks today, they have to record an extra day tomorrow, so you have to shoot for another day as well.”
”Hmm?” Gu Qianjing turned around, her cold and beautiful face tinged with doubt.
”What are you recording? We have already completed the mission.”
The assistant also felt that Huang Wei was going too far, and was afraid that Gu Qianjing would be unhappy and go on strike, so he hurriedly apologized,
”Teacher Gu, there is no mission tomorrow. You can arrange your own things as you like. Except that we will be there to film, your life will be no different from usual.”
Gu Qianjing frowned slightly and refused subconsciously.
”How can that be the same? If someone is filming at home, it will always disturb me. What does it have to do with us if another family fails to complete the task?”
”Teacher Gu, if I don’t arrange this well, Director Huang will scold me again.” The photography assistant simply played the emotional card pitifully, “You know that Director Huang has a bad temper. Teacher Gu, can you help me?”
The photography assistant was a young girl who had just graduated. It was hard work to follow the shoot and she became quite tanned after a day of shooting.
Gu Qianjing didn’t want to make things difficult for her.
On second thought, tomorrow I will just film my daily life at home. Li Yunhua is still trapped in the secret room, and there will probably be no one watching my live broadcast room.
”All right.”
Gu Qianjing nodded in agreement, stepped on the accelerator, and the black supercar sped away.
Xiao Shu fell asleep in the car. When the car stopped at the door of the villa, the housekeeper saw from the Internet that the live broadcast had ended and had been waiting at the door for a long time.
The housekeeper carried Xiaoshu back to the room.
Gu Qianjing followed the housekeeper into the room, put on lambskin slippers at the door, and said, “Housekeeper Hu, Xiaoshu has taken a shower in the hotel, let him go to sleep directly, there is no need to wake him up.”
After returning to her room, Gu Qianjing fell headfirst onto the bed. She was overwhelmed by a huge feeling of tiredness and almost fell asleep.
It was almost one o’clock in the morning in Sheung Shui, but Lin Mingqi’s overseas project department had just arrived at 8 o’clock in the evening.
The Lin family’s project here is a real estate project to build an art center. Because the specifications and grade of the project are world-class, the Lin Group also attaches great importance to this cooperation. Lin Mingqi personally monitored the project for nearly two months.
We have just finalized the design drawings with the client today. The design team is about to return to China, and the engineering department will come over to coordinate the next matters.
There was a dinner for the design team in the evening. Lin Mingqi originally did not plan to return home now. He wanted to wait until the engineering department got the task started before leaving to avoid any mistakes in the project.
But before the dinner started, Lin Mingqi received a recording on his mobile phone from an unknown number.
The recording was sent by a woman named “He Chun”, who claimed to be Xiao Shu’s nutritionist. She also recounted in the recording the various bad ways that Gu Qianjing had tortured Xiao Shu, such as not allowing Xiao Shu to finish his meals, or only feeding him plain porridge, or beating and scolding him and making him kneel down at will. He Chun even said that Xiao Shu’s aphasia was related to Gu Qianjing.
Lin Mingqi knew that Xiaoshu had a nutritionist. When he was in China, he would go to the villa to visit Xiaoshu every week. At that time, he felt that Gu Qianjing was very close to the nutritionist.
Lin Mingqi felt that the recording was not groundless, but he also didn’t quite believe that Gu Qianjing, as the child’s biological mother, could do such a cruel thing.
He stood in the sky garden outside the restaurant for a long time until his assistant found him and reminded him that the dinner was about to begin.
Lin Mingqi turned around, his dark eyes full of doubts. He said in a cold voice, “You stay to connect with the engineering department, and I will return to China with the design department.”
”Okay.” The assistant responded respectfully and reminded again, “Boss Lin, everyone is waiting for you to start the meal.”
”Yes.” Lin Mingqi walked into the restaurant and turned his head to his assistant and said, “Download the recording of the variety show that my wife participated in to the computer. I will watch it on the plane.”
”good!”
Lin Mingqi’s assistant rarely questions his arrangements, and it seems reasonable that he wants to know how his wife and children are doing on the show.
When she woke up early in the morning, Gu Qianjing felt extremely tired. She had dreamed all night last night.
She dreamed that she was a female warrior at the end of the world . It seemed like she was also in a book. She was still a supporting female character, but this time it was a positive character.
The situation at that time was that zombies were besieging the city. In order to cover the heroine’s escape from the captured city, Gu Qianjing tied all the weapons to her body and fought a desperate battle with the zombies.
Maybe it was influenced by playing “Death Shooter” during the day, Gu Qianjing in the dream attacked the zombies one by one with steady, accurate and ruthless shooting.
When she woke up in the morning, Gu Qianjing felt sore all over and had a dizzy head, as if she had really been fighting zombies all night.
After she washed up, she thought about the program she had to record today, so she changed into simple sportswear and tied her slightly curly long hair into a cute bun on top of her head.
Walking down the stairs, the filming team had arrived and Xiao Shu was communicating with the photographer.
He wrote on the writing board, “Mom is resting, please be quiet and don’t disturb!”
Just after finishing writing this line, he looked up and found Gu Qianjing standing on the stairs, curling the corners of her lips and looking at the writing board in her hand.
Xiao Shu’s ears turned red and he quickly wiped off the words.
After thinking for a while, he wrote on the writing board again, “Grandma sent someone to bring morning tea, I’ve already eaten it.”
”Yes.” Gu Qianjing nodded, “Then you can build the blocks first, and mom will eat by herself.”
The camera follows Gu Qianjing as she walks towards the villa’s dining room.
The layout of the restaurant was photographed last time, with European-style solid wood hand-carved tables and chairs, floor-length velvet curtains, and intricate and gorgeous crystal chandeliers. Netizens said they were tired of expressing envy.
Seeing the dazzling array of morning teas on the table, all kinds of envious voices still rose one after another.
[Ahhhh… I’m jealous again. It turns out that the breakfasts of wealthy ladies are so exquisite.]
[It’s not about breakfast. The key point is that this was sent by Xiaoshu’s grandmother. Isn’t this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship too enviable?]
[You are all looking at breakfast, am I the only one who noticed the blue and white porcelain bowls and plates for morning tea? This is the work of porcelain master Huang Zong, and it is now out of print. Previously, this set of porcelain was auctioned off by Meng Shuxian for a high price of tens of millions. I didn’t expect it to be actually used. I thought this kind of porcelain was generally at the collection level.]
[What should I do? I feel even more jealous after hearing what the above person said.]
Gu Qianjing has always had a good appetite, but maybe it was because of the dream she had last night, but when she saw the tiger skin chicken feet, braised small dishes and other meat dishes on the table, she always felt that they had a strong fishy smell and her stomach felt uncomfortable.
Fortunately, there were some light porridge and side dishes on the table. Gu Qianjing ate some millet porridge and pickled vegetables, and asked the housekeeper to take away the rest.
Walking out of the restaurant, Gu Qianjing’s face was reflected on the mirrored wall in the corridor.
The woman in the mirror was still so beautiful that people could not take their eyes away, but her complexion was obviously not good. Her face was frighteningly pale and there was a thin layer of bruises under her eyes.
Gu Qianjing simply went back to the bathroom and found a new gold mask from a luxury brand to apply on herself. It was said that it contained real gold, so the price was naturally comparable to that of gold.
Returning to the living room, Gu Qianjing, who felt top-heavy, wrapped herself in a blanket and curled up on the sofa. The cartoon that Xiaoshu was watching was playing on TV, but Gu Qianjing could not hear a single line of the dialogue.
Her head is buzzing.
The housekeeper saw the almost untouched food on the table and walked over to the sofa to ask, “Is the madam sick? Do you want to call a doctor?”
Xiao Shu was originally sitting on the ground playing with building blocks. After hearing what the housekeeper said, he quickly turned over and stood up, running to Gu Qianjing with his short legs.
He was worried about his mother and pressed her shoulders with his soft hands a few times, wondering if this would make her feel more comfortable.
After pressing for a while, Xiao Shu ran to the building blocks and took back the writing board. He lowered his head and wrote quickly, “Please ask the doctor to take a look!”
”Yes.” Gu Qianjing reached out from under the blanket and touched Xiao Shu’s head. “Got it. Let’s ask the doctor to take a look.”
After hearing this, the housekeeper immediately went downstairs to make an appointment with a private doctor.
Xiao Shu put his soft little hands on his mother’s forehead, then on his own forehead, and felt that it seemed a little warm.
He quickly ran back to his room, took out a cartoon children’s cooling patch from the medicine box, went back to the living room, peeled off the gold mask, and put the cooling patch on his mother’s head.
In fact, Gu Qianjing didn’t feel that she had a fever, but she felt that Xiaoshu would feel more at ease if she put on the fever-reducing patch, so she let Xiaoshu do it on his own.
The news of Gu Qianjing’s illness quickly spread on the Internet, and netizens who were originally watching their escape room in Li Yunhua’s live broadcast room also came here.
[Why did Gu Qianjing suddenly fall ill? I’m still watching Li Yunhua and the others escape from the secret room. It’s so boring. I have to go through the plot again today that I went through yesterday.]
[I don’t know why my sister got sick. I feel so bad. ]
[The one who felt the most distressed was Xiao Shu, whose eyes were red. 】
The dizziness in her head became stronger and stronger. Gu Qianjing closed her eyes and sat on the sofa like a zen, waiting for the doctor to arrive.
During this hour or so, she thought about all the possibilities for the sudden abnormality in her body. Either she was sick, or it could be retribution because she had traveled through the book and changed the original plot.
If she was forced to leave this world, what would happen to Xiao Shu? Would he return to the hands of his vicious mother and continue to be abused?
While Gu Qianjing was daydreaming, the Lin family’s personal doctor, Wang Li, also rushed to the villa.
After conducting a series of routine examinations on Gu Qianjing, Dr. Wang was also puzzled. “Madam, there doesn’t seem to be any disease here. She doesn’t have a fever, and she doesn’t have anemia.”
Wang Li glanced at the camera with some concern, and asked in a low voice, “Is your period coming, Madam?”
Gu Qianjing quickly shook her head, “No.”
Since routine examinations could not find any disease, it was probably a serious illness. Wang Li felt depressed, but did not dare to show it on his face.
Afraid of causing Gu Qianjing to panic, Wang Li chose his words carefully, “Madam, you may need to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination to find out the cause of the disease so that we can prescribe the right medicine.”
When Butler Hu heard what the doctor said, he almost cried. It was such a big deal, he had to call General Manager Lin right away.
When the servants in the house knew that they were going to the hospital, they became busy. Some were packing toiletries, and some were packing clothes.
Gu Qianjing wanted to go to the hospital for a check-up and didn’t necessarily need to be hospitalized, but the dizziness was getting stronger and stronger, and she didn’t have the energy to persuade them.
Wang Li went to the hospital to prepare first, and the driver would take Gu Qianjing directly to the hospital later.
Everyone else in the family was busy and chattering. The housekeeper couldn’t get through to Mr. Lin, so he called Mr. Lin’s assistant in the garden. Xiao Shu nervously followed the housekeeper in and out, looking up at the housekeeper, as if silently asking, “Did you get through?”
Under Xiao Shu’s scorching gaze, the already anxious housekeeper felt even more pressured.
Everyone was busy and didn’t even hear the doorbell.
Gu Qianjing shouted a few times with a hoarse voice, but no one responded, so she simply stood up and went to open the door.
After sitting on the sofa for a long time and suddenly standing up, the dizziness became even more severe.
She closed her eyes, waited until she felt less dizzy, and then walked softly towards the door.
