Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 258 Remember to submit the report early

Gu Juncheng came out of the kitchen.

Chen Xia's eyes lit up when she saw him, and she exclaimed, "Brother Chengzi, you're really here!"

Gu Juncheng looked at her. "Is something the matter?"

"No...it's just that you didn't come to see me today...no, to see President Zheng. President Zheng is...is missing you."

What do you mean, "Seeing Mr. Zheng?" What do you mean, "Mr. Zheng is thinking of you?" That shy, hesitant expression is practically saying: Why don't you come to see me? I miss you!

Lin Qingping watched them act without saying a word.

But Gu Juncheng still wanted to look at her one more time.

What's so interesting about it?

Since we're getting a divorce anyway!

Chen Xia was still looking at Gu Juncheng with shy and timid eyes, calling him softly, "Brother Chengzi?"

Gu Juncheng's gaze followed her shout.

"Brother Cheng, President Zheng said he'd like to invite you over for lunch. Are you going?" The question was directed at President Zheng, but Chen Xia was looking at him with anticipation in her eyes.

Lin Qingping couldn't help but sneer. Unbeknownst to them, all the people in the shop had become part of their play?

Gu Youlian couldn't stand this scene. She didn't know that Lin Qingping was going to divorce her brother, so she immediately lost her temper. "What do you mean? Old Zheng invited him to dinner? This is strange. This is the first time I've ever seen Old Zheng send someone to invite him to dinner. Are you going to have dinner with him, or is Old Zheng paying?"

Chen Xia's eyes reddened again after Gu Youlian yelled at her, "Sister..."

"Don't call me sister! I'm not your sister!" Gu Youlian glared angrily at Gu Juncheng. "What's wrong with you? What do you take this bottle for? I'll tell you today, you dare to step out of this shop and see what happens!"

Gu Jun looked at his sister with difficulty, "Sister..."

"What 'sister'?!" Gu Youlian slammed her hand on the table and shouted angrily, "You better speak properly today! Make a good choice! Are you going to eat with this shameless person, or are you staying at the restaurant!"

Seeing Gu Juncheng's conflicted expression, she decided to take drastic measures, "If you go with her today, you don't need to call me 'sister' anymore!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xia's eyes became even more brimming with tears. "Brother Chengzi, let's forget about it then. I...I'm going back."

"Stop acting like that!" Gu Youlian felt her eyes hurt. "You weren't like this when you were yelling and arguing with your brother and sister-in-law in the village!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xia felt even more aggrieved. Looking at Gu Juncheng, her eyes were brimming with tears. "Brother Cheng, you know, who would want to fall out with their brother and sister-in-law if they received even a little bit of affection? Brother Cheng, if it's inconvenient for you to go to dinner, then forget it, I'll go back..."

As she spoke, her eyes reddened.

"Wait a minute," Gu Juncheng called to her.

"Gu Juncheng!" Gu Youlian was furious.

Gu Juncheng ignored his sister and looked at Chen Xia, saying, "I'll go."

Gu Youlian took two steps back, almost fainting from anger, pointing at him, "You...you're not my brother, you're not..."

Even though she said that, Gu Juncheng still walked out with Chen Xia.

Gu Youlian was so angry she didn't know what to do. She turned to look at Lin Qingping, "The bottle! Look..."

Lin Qingping felt numb, perhaps because the pain was too intense and had numbed her. She strode forward and shouted, "Stop!"

Gu Juncheng stopped in his tracks, but did not turn around.

Chen Xia, however, turned to look at Lin Qingping timidly, her eyes brimming with tears, and asked, "Lin Qingping, why don't you come with us?"

us……

Ah, so this is us!

Lin Qingping ignored her and said to Gu Juncheng's back, "Go tell Lao Zheng to change the delivery person from now on, or we shouldn't cooperate anymore."

Chen Xia's eyes immediately reddened. "Lin Qingping, don't be like this. It's not easy for President Zheng to run a store in the capital. He and Brother Cheng are old comrades-in-arms. How can you do this just because you don't like me..."

Lin Qingping, unable to bear it any longer, said, "Chen Xia, you know I don't like you. I don't even want to talk about the things you've done, so just shut up and don't make me yell at you!"

"Lin Qingping, why are you like this?" Gu Juncheng turned around and immediately took over the conversation. "Business cooperation is business cooperation, and personal relationships are personal relationships. Can't you even tell the difference?"

Lin Qingping laughed. So, she's already helping Chen Xia? "Why would I do that? Why would I do that? Some people are just being shameless. I just don't like watching shameless people. What's the problem?"

Chen Xia burst into tears. "Lin Qingping, who are you calling a jerk?"

"Whoever agrees, that's who it is," Lin Qingping said.

"Lin Qingping!" Gu Juncheng frowned. "I'm the one who did wrong. If you have a problem, take it out on me. Why make things difficult for Chen Xia?"

Lin Qingping thought she would no longer feel pain, but when she heard those words, a huge wave of pain still overwhelmed her.

She wouldn't let herself shed tears at this moment, she just smiled, "What a responsible and good man! Then remember to tell Lao Zheng when you get back, so that next time some blind fool delivers goods to the store, my store's brooms won't be blind either!"

Gu Juncheng's face was gloomy. "I understand."

"Gu Juncheng," Lin Qingping suddenly became curious, "Someone once told me that Chen Xia was pregnant with your child. Is that true or false?"

She wasn't afraid to ask Chen Xia this question in front of him anymore. Since Chen Xia himself had no shame, why should she have any shame?

Chen Xia's expression changed drastically.

Gu Juncheng frowned slightly. "There's no need to bring up the past."

"Wait!" Lin Qingping persisted. "I want to know, did you actually come back in '78? You'd better think carefully before you answer!"

"Yes," Gu Juncheng answered decisively.

Lin Qingping took a step back. "Really."

Gu Juncheng lowered his head and said to Chen Xia, "Go ahead and wait for me."

Chen Xia left hesitantly.

After Chen Xia had walked away, Gu Juncheng told her again, confirming, "I came back, before Chen Xia married someone else."

Ah……

Hahaha……

A voice inside Lin Qingping was laughing wildly.

Thinking back to how I desperately tried to save face for Gu Juncheng in Gujia Village, I was truly a clown!

Now, standing on this street outside the shop, watching the figure gradually blur before her eyes, she looks more like a clown.

Fortunately, the conversation took place outside the store and no customers heard it; otherwise, she would have been utterly humiliated.

In 78, Chen Xia said she became pregnant in 78...

Gu Youlian appeared behind her and overheard the conversation. She hurriedly hugged Lin Qingping, saying, "Pingzi, don't think such things! I've never heard of this! It can't be true!"

No, no one would publicize such a thing in a big way.

Lin Qingping gritted her teeth and forced a smile, "It's alright, Gu Juncheng, you can get lost now, and remember to submit your report as soon as possible."

After saying that, she plunged into the shop.

She couldn't cry, but she couldn't bear it anymore...

"Lin Qingping!" she heard Gu Juncheng calling from behind.
