Chapter 835: Chapter 840: Then tell her about our relationship6
Compared to the last time when they simply announced the list on the school’s official website, this was far more ceremonious.
Those who had made it through the preliminaries last time, such as Zhuang Chun and Qu Annai, were downright irritated.
Gu Qingxin made a point to return home at noon to have lunch with Lin Yin, knowing that Beiming Han would undoubtedly not allow her to go home in the evening.
Seeing her mother alone, Gu Qingxin felt discomfort in her heart as she always felt like she owed her mother far too much.
“The Gu Family called today and said that the wedding date for Tang Rongling and Gu Yunci is set for half a month from now. They want us to attend.”
“Not interested!” Gu Qingxin served her mother a piece of braised pork rib, putting it in her bowl.
“Then let’s not go. We have nothing to do with them anymore.”
Lin Yin also served her daughter a portion, seeing that her daughter showed no reaction to the news of Tang Rongling getting married, she felt relieved.
The knock on the door echoed through the room. Startled, Gu Qingxin almost dropped her chopsticks onto the table. Lin Yin glanced at her daughter and said, “Let me see who it is.”
“Mom, I’ll go.” Gu Qingxin stood up quickly, thinking to herself how Beiming Han really just couldn’t let her be, even when she merely went home for lunch, he still followed her.
When Gu Qingxin reached the door and looked out, upon seeing the unacquainted man outside, she turned to Lin Yin, “Mom, I don’t know him. It’s a stranger.”
Lin Yin frowned, “You go eat.”
Lin Yin stood up, walked towards the door, and Gu Qingxin went back to the dining room to eat.
The man outside smiled immediately upon seeing Lin Yin, and said, “It’s the New Year today, I brought some food for you.”
“Thank you for your kindness, but there’s no need for all this.” Lin Yin looked at him helplessly.
“If it weren’t for you that day, I could have died. Bringing you these presents is the least I could do.” The man chuckled.
Lin Yin remained silent.
“Mom, who is this?” Gu Qingxin came over again, her eyes darting between the two of them.
“This is your daughter, isn’t it? She’s stunning. My name is Xiao. I had a heart attack on the street a fortnight ago. It was your mother who saved me.”
“Mr. Xiao, the help I provided was a simple act of kindness, there’s really no need for your gratitude. Please, feel free to leave.” Lin Yin planned on closing the door.
“You keep this stuff for yourself then. I’ll be going, goodbye.” Xiao Yuanshan quickly put his things into the room, smiled at Lin Yin, waved at Gu Qingxin, and then departed swiftly.
“Sigh, your stuff…” Lin Yin called out with a hint of helplessness.
Gu Qingxin walked over, looked at the things on the ground, which were all high-grade stuff and included a ginseng.
Lin Yin shut the door with a frown, not even bothering to glance at these things, then she returned to the dining room.
After taking another look at the things on the ground, Gu Qingxin also returned to the dining room, asking, “Mom, what was that all about?”
Lin Yin explained to her the events from half a month ago when she saved Xiao Yuanshan on her way back from the flower shop.
Gu Qingxin perceived that this Xiao Yuanshan was well-dressed and seemed quite gentlemanly, appearing to be a decent man.
The most important thing was, he seemed to be a good match for her mother in terms of demeanor.
“Mom, you’re only forty, still young. You are divorced from dad now, haven’t you thought about finding someone else?” Gu Qingxin could tell that this Mr. Xiao was enamored with her mother.
“Never thought about it. I am quite content with my life right now.” Lin Yin replied indifferently, evidently not giving it much thought.
