While talking to Lu's parents, Lin Qingping looked for the source of the gaze out of the corner of her eye.

Sure enough, she found it!

Gu Juncheng.

Gu Juncheng and Wu Tianping were sitting in a corner of the restaurant eating.

Lin Qingping sighed inwardly, pretended not to see it, and walked out with his head held high.

Lu's parents did not leave immediately, saying that they had something else to say. Lu Chuang, who was originally going to go out with her to see her off, was stopped by Lu's parents.

"Your father's friend in the capital has a driver who is here specially to pick him up and ensure that Comrade Lin is brought home safely," said Lu's mother.

When Lin Qingping heard this, perhaps because she was sensitive, she understood the second meaning of Lu's mother's words, but no matter whether it was true or not, she would not let Lu Chuang send her off.

So Lu Chuang had to give up, and Lin Qingping left alone.

After Lin Qingping left, Lu Chuang expressed his dissatisfaction in front of his parents, "Dad! Mom!"

Mother Lu still looked gentle and well-educated, but the determination in her eyes was unquestionable. "She is a good girl, but she is not allowed to be divorced!"

"Mom!" Lu Chuang's face flushed: You always say she is good, why can't she do that?

"Lu Chuang, you have been doing whatever you want, and your father and I have indulged you. As long as you don't commit a crime, the worst that can happen is that you will come back with a bloody head and we will support you. But marriage is not a trivial matter. It is related to the Lu family's reputation and future generations. We will grit our teeth and accept someone who is older than you, but it is absolutely impossible for someone who is divorced to enter our house. What's more, she got a divorce from a military marriage. Who knows what she did?" Lu's mother's eyes also became serious.

Gu Juncheng, who was in the corner, clenched his fists and was about to stand up, but was held down by Wu Tianping.

"What are you doing?" Wu Tianping stared at him and lowered his voice, "Don't mess around!"

Gu Juncheng really wanted to "make trouble". He stared at Wu Tianping and asked, "Listen to what they are saying?"

Wu Tianping pressed his hand even tighter and snorted, "Why do they say that? Who is the culprit? Who caused people to say that about her? You made the mistake, but you want to shut up the world?"

Wu Tianping never holds back when criticizing his friends.

Gu Juncheng, who was originally filled with anger, suddenly stopped.

Wu Tianping snorted again and looked at him with dissatisfaction.

The three members of the Lu family were still talking, mainly because Lu Chuang was angry. "You said you would look at the person, as long as he is a good person, but now you regret it?"

"I didn't say anything about her. You only said that she is talented. In the future, as long as she has any ideas, our Lu family is willing to support her. But it is impossible for her to become the daughter-in-law of the Lu family!" Mother Lu said firmly.

Lu Chuang wanted to argue, but his father frowned and said, "Okay, in public, you don't know the difference between the important and the unimportant. I have really indulged you in the past few years!"

After saying this, Father Lu strode away.

Lu's mother followed. Lu Chuang was angry and didn't notice anything. He just followed his parents out.

And behind a screen in the store, Lin Qingping hid.

She just forgot something and came back to get it, but she didn't expect to hear such a conversation. It can be seen that her previous feeling was not wrong. Mother Lu was indeed a person with hidden meanings in her words.

However, the three people in the Lu family were very confused. When did she show any interest in the identity of the daughter-in-law of the Lu family? Why were the three of them discussing whether she was worthy of being the daughter-in-law of the Lu family?

She just found it funny and quickly went back to get her hat. Knowing where Gu Juncheng was sitting, he might even have witnessed the whole thing, but she still pretended not to see it and quickly left to go home.

She went to this dinner with the Lu family with the possibility of business cooperation. Lu Chuang really told her that he was embarking on the path of modeling, and his family was interested in making clothes and wanted to invite her to have a chat.

It seemed that this cooperation was impossible. As for the harm, she didn't feel any at all.

She returned home, took a shower, and sat down to do her work, feeling refreshed. She had so much to do, so how could she have the time to be angry?

After cleaning the house, Sister Zhao went to Gu Youlian's place to cook sweet soup for the next day. Now, Zhong Xiaoxiao also lives with her child at Gu Youlian's place. Only Zhiyuan and she, who were doing their homework, were left at home. It was quiet with only one lamp and two people.

However, the sound of a door opening broke the silence.

Someone came in.

Lin Qingping knew who it was without looking back.

Familiar footsteps, familiar smell, even familiar breathing.

Besides, who else can open this closed door?

I only heard Zhiyuan look up and call out "Dad Gu" with surprise in his voice, "You're back?"

"Yeah." Gu Juncheng responded and his eyes fell on Lin Qingping.

Instead of the fashionable dress she wore in the hotel, she had changed into her white "old man's shirt". She was writing something with her back to him. Her hair was tied up high in a bun on top of her head. Some of the hair fell down, making her hair look loose and disheveled, with a different kind of laziness and casualness.

"I've finished writing and am going to bed!" Zhiyuan said loudly, quickly put away all the books, and quickly disappeared from the living room.

Lin Qingping also closed the notebook, went upstairs without saying a word.

Gu Juncheng looked at her back and felt that she seemed to be thinner than when she was on the island. The old man's shirt seemed looser on her. She wore a pair of shorts that almost reached her knees, which were also loose. Her calves were so thin that they looked like bamboo poles in his eyes.

Something in my heart suddenly tightened.

He followed her upstairs.

Lin Qingping heard him coming up the stairs and closing the door as soon as he entered the room. He stretched out his hand to hold the door open.

Lin Qingping had no intention of competing with him in strength, so he let go and sat back in his chair.

"Lin Qingping." He called her name after he came in, his voice low and slightly hoarse.

"If you have something to say, just say it." She opened the notebook and continued writing. I have to write a paper! I kind of miss the computer age. Writing tens of thousands of words by hand is really unfamiliar.

Some of her thesis materials were spread out in front of her - they were materials he had collected for her from her research in Jincheng.

Gu Juncheng looked at the familiar handwriting on the document, took a step forward, and walked behind her, "Lin Qingping, are you busy now?"

"Yes." Short, even a little stiff.

"Can you spare ten minutes to talk?" He spoke in a serious tone, as if a leader was talking to a subordinate.

"Go ahead." Lin Qingping continued to search for information in the files.

"Lin Qingping," he said, "Come with me to the island."

Lin Qingping's hand holding the pen paused.

"Lin Qingping, can you turn around and talk to me?" He stood behind her and whispered.

Lin Qingping put down his pen and turned around, "Okay."

Look at him.

Gu Juncheng sat down opposite her, pursed his lips, and continued, "Lin Qingping, I won't take up too much of your time. Just ten minutes, let's analyze the pros and cons of going to the island."

Lin Qingping was dumbfounded. You are here to have a meeting with me at this late hour? Analyzing the pros and cons?
