Gu Qingxin visited the wolf den to see the general. After several days of recuperation, the general’s health had improved significantly and he was able to move around freely. He eagerly stood up to greet her when he saw her come in.
Gu Qingxin crouched down, smiling as she spoke, “1 have to go out today, first 1’11 go to the hospital to see my mother, then I’ll go back home to get some books. You have to behave and wait for me to come back, understand?”
Gu Qingxin hugged it and then left the wolf den.
When Gu Qingxin arrived at the hospital, Lin Yin had just finished eating breakfast. Seeing her come in, a gentle smile appeared on her face, “Qingxin, you’re here.”
“Mother, what did you eat this morning?” Gu Qingxin came to the bedside and sat down.
Lin Yin wanted to take her daughter’s hand but noticed the area that had been burnt. Her eyebrows furrowed in concern, “What happened to your hand?”
“I spilled water while carrying it and accidentally burned myself, but it’s okay now.” Gu Qingxin raised her hand to show. Although it still looked unpleasant, it was actually fine now.
“How could you be so careless? Will it leave a scar?” Lin Yin closely examined her hand.
“I have been applying ointment, it won’t scar.”
“You must keep applying it, your hands are so pretty. It would be a shame if they were scarred.”
“I understand.” Gu Qingxin smiled.
“Did you discuss the Bai family matter with your father? What did he say?”
“I haven’t talked about it yet. Dad has been quite busy lately.” Gu Qingxin responded with some guilt. She knew that her father wouldn’t be dependable in dealing with the Bai family’s matter.
“Should I call him then? We can’t just ignore it.” Lin Yin believed in repaying kindness with kindness. The Bai family had always been considerate towards them, and now that they were in such a big mess, she could not just stand by.
“Mother, 1 will make the call, definitely. You focus on your recuperation, don’t worry about these things.”
Lin Yin’s speech was still quite slow. It seemed it would take quite a while for her to return to normal.
Gu Qingxin didn’t want the issue about Gu Huai’an to be exposed. She didn’t know how her mother would react to such a shock.
After accompanying Lin Yin for a while, Gu Qingxin left the hospital to fetch the books from home. When she came out of the building, she saw Tang Rongling. He was leaning against his car, smoking a cigarette.
Gu Qingxin was truly surprised. Since she and her mother moved here three years ago, both Tang Rongling and the Gu family hadn’t visited once.
Her forehead involuntarily crinkled. Tang Rongling never used to smoke…
However, no matter how he had changed, it had nothing to do with her anymore. Gu Qingxin hoisted her book bag and prepared to leave.
“Gu Qingxin.” Tang Rongling straightened up and strode towards her.
Gu Qingxin took several steps back cautiously. Tang Rongling frowned at her guarded demeanor.
Her cold and distant manner, as if she was treating a stranger, made him feel uncomfortably out of place.
“Let’s talk!” Tang Rongling reached out to take her book bag.
“No need, we have nothing to talk about. Brother-in-law!” Gu Qingxin emphasized the words ‘brother-in-law’, reminding him of their current relationship.
“The Bai family is in trouble, do you know that?” Tang Rongling’s words finally managed to change Gu Qingxin’s expression.
“Get in the car. Let’s go somewhere to discuss this.” Tang Rongling took her book bag, grabbed her arm, and led her towards his car.
While Gu Qingxin was still hesitating, Tang Rongling had already opened the back door of the car, placed her bag inside, and then opened the passenger door for her while looking at her.
Gu Qingxin glanced at the open front passenger seat, then she opened the back door herself and got in..
