The store manager was startled. “Mrs. Lin, this… women’s clothing is a little different from men’s clothing.”
”Really?” Gu Qianjing handed the coffee cup back to the maid, a little amused, “His wife is still beside him, are you so impatient?”
”Me?” The charming female store manager’s eyes turned red. “No, Mrs. Lin, why are you still slandering me? I’m just trying on clothes for Mr. Lin.” While speaking, she glanced at Lin Mingqi out of the corner of her eye.
Lin Mingqi naturally ignored the gaze, put down his clothes and walked upstairs.
Gu Qianjing rolled her eyes and said, “Go back and take your clothes with you. I’m not happy today and I don’t want them anymore.”
The female store manager closed her eyes and actually squeezed out two tears, “Madam, you are too bullying. We who work here also have dignity.” She looked very pitiful.
”Dignity is not something that can be said with words. You are the one who is shameless first, aren’t you? You touched my husband in front of me. Do you think I am blind?” Gu Qianjing’s voice became even louder with anger.
The housekeeper hurried over and politely “asked” the female manager to leave.
Lin Mingqi walked back to the study and closed the door, his mind full of Gu Qianjing’s words, “His wife is still next to him” and “Touching my husband”.
Wife, husband…
Putting these two names together feels so subtle.
He was free for a while, then he took out his cell phone and called his assistant.
”It’s me. Today, an employee from a luxury goods store came to our house to deliver some clothes. Well, she’s a bad person and made my wife unhappy. Please handle this matter and don’t keep her… Also, shut her up and don’t let her go out and talk nonsense. My wife is in the rising stage of her career now, so please be careful when handling things.”
After hanging up the phone, Lin Mingqi thought of what Gu Qianjing had just said about wife and husband, and smiled while holding the phone.
This person is a little silly in a cute way. Her emotions are written all over her face and she has no scheming at all. Just like what happened to He Chun before, if she had been more careful, she wouldn’t have been exposed and criticized by Deng Li.
Thinking of the recording, Lin Mingqi’s mood plummeted again.
This incident is like a thorn that has been stuck in the skin for a long time. It does not affect my daily life, but whenever I think about it, I always feel a little uncomfortable.
But he didn’t dare confront Gu Qianjing. He knew that after the truth was revealed, he would be the one who didn’t dare to face the truth.
For a long time, Lin Mingqi seemed to be living in a gray world, where he studied step by step and took over the family business naturally. Although he knew that this was a world with gold edges, it was still cold and boring. He was like a perpetual motion machine that only knew how to make money, make more money, but money could no longer bring him happiness and satisfaction.
Until he came back this time, he felt that his home had changed. Having tasted a little bit of happiness, he did not dare to act rashly. He was like a person who had strayed in. If he was not careful, Gu Qianjing would look at him with disdain and say the word “get out” lightly.
Gu Qianjing is a luminous body, and I am the one who relies on her light to be illuminated. This is how Lin Mingqi thinks about the relationship between himself and Gu Qianjing.
Just like the night when the “Golden Silk Coiled Dragon Winged Crown” was made, Lin Mingqi who was at the scene truly felt that Gu Qianjing herself was also flustered and confused. It was not at all as Lin Yongchang explained later. What happened that night was not premeditated, but unexpected.
But after Lin Yongchang called and told him about this, Lin Mingqi just felt a long sigh of relief. Just go with this explanation and find a way out. Even if Gu Qianjing is a female ghost, she must be kept. This female ghost cannot be allowed to go out and harm others again.
At lunch time, Xiaoshu and the tutor came out of the room.
Gu Qianjing stood up from the sofa and personally sent the tutor to the door. If parents want their children to respect teachers, they must first set an example themselves. Every time the tutor came, as long as Gu Qianjing was at home, she would personally greet and see him off.
When they reached the door, the tutor said to Gu Qianjing, “Mrs. Lin, Xiaoshu hasn’t been in a good mood these past two days.”
”Hmm?” Gu Qianjing didn’t understand what the tutor meant. She felt that Xiaoshu was quite happy every day.
”Well… he just can’t concentrate in class and doesn’t seem to be interested. I’ve talked to him about it, but he doesn’t want to talk. You can talk to him and see if he has any concerns.”
”Okay, thank you, teacher.” Gu Qianjing watched the tutor’s car drive away, feeling very strange. What could Xiaoshu be worried about?
During lunch, Gu Qianjing observed Xiaoshu and felt that his mood was quite normal. He was not picky about food and would even argue with his father at the dinner table.
After lunch, Xiao Shu came to Gu Qianjing with a writing tablet and said, “Mom, I’m going to prepare the game!”
Gu Qianjing laughed, “How are you going to be naughty? Tell me about it.”
Writing board, “I want to move!”
”Hmm? Where are you moving to?”
Xiao Shu pointed to the building block castle that took up half of the living room and said, “I’m going to live in my own castle in the future.”
”Ah?” Gu Qianjing pretended to be very sad, “Are you going to separate from Mom and Dad?”
Xiao Shu quickly shook his head and leaned over to touch his mother’s cheek.
The handwriting board said, “Mom can come to the city to see Xiaoshu, but you have to go through the door!”
”Okay then!” This time Gu Qianjing agreed generously. She reached out and tidied up the messy hair on Xiao Shu’s forehead. “Then mom will ask them to help you move.”
Under Xiao Shu’s command, the housekeeper and servants moved his small quilt, small bookshelf, and some of his favorite toys into the castle. There weren’t many things, so everything was arranged in a short time.
Gu Qianjing squatted at the door and knocked, “Xiao Shu, can mommy come in?”
The door of the castle opened quickly, and a little kid poked his head out from inside, nodding at Gu Qianjing with a smile.
Gu Qianjing took off her slippers, bent down and entered the castle.
After passing through the door, I can stand up straight. The space inside is much more spacious than I imagined, and its area is almost as large as the room Xiaoshu lives in now.
Xiao Shu sat cross-legged on the ground and began to read the picture book that the teacher had just given him.
Gu Qianjing sat down cross-legged beside him, “Xiao Shu, read the book later. Mommy will chat with you, okay?”
Xiao Shu nodded, closed the book, and put it neatly back on the bookshelf. His neat and tidy habits were exactly the same as Lin Mingqi’s.
After putting the book away, Xiao Shu put his hands on his knees and stared at his mother with big eyes.
”Xiao Shu, do you dislike going to class recently?”
Gu Qianjing asked softly,
”The teacher told me today that Xiaoshu has been a little distracted in class recently, but the teacher said it was just a little bit and it didn’t really affect anything. Xiaoshu is still a very good child, but I want to know why, okay?”
Xiao Shu lowered his head, and his fingers nervously scratched a cartoon pattern embroidered on his knee.
Gu Qianjing did not continue to ask, but waited patiently for Xiaoshu to make a decision. Maybe he would not speak today, so she could ask next time.
Xiao Shu was silent for a while, then mustered up the courage to pick up the writing board, “Mom, how can a child who can’t speak go to school? A real school!”
Gu Qianjing’s nose suddenly felt sore. She remembered that when she was in Ankang, other children didn’t want to go to school, only Xiaoshu was like a little fool, looking forward to going to school foolishly.
Early in the morning, a small figure, carrying a small schoolbag, was lying on the big iron gate of the B&B, looking out, hoping that Teacher Guo would come to pick him up soon.
There are many teachers and children in school. Everyone has to abide by classroom discipline, eat and take naps together. It is definitely different from studying by yourself at home.
Gu Qianjing held Xiao Shu’s face and asked him to look up at her. “So Xiao Shu wants to go to school? A real school?”
Xiao Shu nodded, but thinking of what the person before him said, a kid like him couldn’t possibly go to school because he couldn’t speak, and if he went he would be a disgrace to the Lin family, Xiao Shu’s thin shoulders seemed to have the air sucked out of them, and collapsed little by little.
Gu Qianjing’s smiling voice came from above her head, “Want to go to school? Then go!”
Hmm? Xiao Shu raised his big, gloomy eyes. Because he had been holding back tears, his thick eyelashes became damp and stuck together.
”Mom said, if Xiaoshu wants to go to school, then go to school and let mom think of a solution, okay?”
Xiao Shu still didn’t quite believe that things were that simple. He just nodded mechanically. I guess my mother was just comforting me.
Until Gu Qianjing started to ask, “Which school does Xiaoshu want to go to?”
He lowered his head and quickly wrote on the writing board, “Ziheng, Xixi, Xiaoju’s school!”
”Huh? Are the three of them from the same school?”
Xiao Shu nodded quickly, picked up the writing board and added, “Xiao Jun is also from the same school.” writing ‘Xiao Jun’ was just taught by his tutor today. He was not very proficient in writing, and the words he wrote were crooked.
But Gu Qianjing understood.
How come these kids are in the same school? Some of them are in primary school and some are in kindergarten. I’m afraid they are just making things up.
Gu Qianjing called Lu Yi in front of Xiao Shu. After the phone rang three or four times, the other party picked up.
”Qianqian?” The environment on Lu Yi’s side sounded a bit noisy, as if she was outside.
Gu Qianjing cut to the chase, “Lu Yi, do Xiao Ju, Xixi and Ziheng go to the same school?”
”Ah? Yes. These kids all go to Blue City International School. Why do you think of asking this?”
”I want Xiao Shu to apply to this school as well. Can you tell me how to apply?”
Lu Yi seemed to have found a quieter place. When she heard Xiao Shu was going to school, she sounded quite surprised.
”That’s great. Xiao Ju will be so happy to know that she can go to school with Xiaoshu. I’m shopping for some things for the new semester at the mall now. I’ll make a list for you when I get home in the evening. There are a lot of things that need to be prepared.”
There were two little sparks of excitement burning in Xiao Shu’s big dark eyes as he wrote quickly on the writing board.
”Am I really really going to school? Real school?”
After Gu Qianjing talked to Lu Yi for a few more words, she hung up the phone and reached out to rub Xiao Shu’s head. “Xiao Shu, I need to prepare some things before going to school, so you have to wait patiently.”
Xiao Shu stared with his big eyes and nodded vigorously.
The child now really feel that he can go to school.
Lin Mingqi dealt with several emails sent from overseas at home at noon. He had to go to the company to attend a high-level decision-making meeting in the afternoon. When he went downstairs, he heard rustling sounds coming from the castle in the living room.
He walked over, squatted down, and curiously leaned over the small window to look inside.
Gu Qianjing was talking when Xiao Shu fell to the ground and rolled around laughing. Then he suddenly noticed his father lying next to the window. The little boy stood up and rushed to the window.
Then the small blue checkered curtain was drawn with a “swish”.
