Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Gu Qingming received a call from Mo Ronghua and his wife expressing their concerns.
“Mingming, I heard that you’re not feeling well?” Madam Mo asked carefully.
“No, Madam. I’m in good health.” Gu Qingming smiled and said, “Madam, you’re thousands of miles away. How do you know that I’m not feeling well?” “Hehe…” Madam Mo smiled guiltily and said, “Didn’t I ask your grandmother? I heard from your grandmother that you’ve been locking yourself in the room to sleep and are not going recently. Everyone is a little worried. Mingming, if you’re really feeling unwell, don’t drag it out. The longer you drag it out, the more serious your illness will be. Even if you’re still young, you have to take care of your body. Especially since you still have to take care of a child who’s a few months old. You have to know that taking care of a child is the most energy-consuming.”
Madam Mo spoke very carefully and her tone sounded concerned and a little fawning.
Gu Qingming felt a little upset.
From the moment she received the call from Mo Ronghua and his wife asking about her health, she already knew that the two people who were monitoring her were sent by the Mo Family.
However, she did not know if it was Mo Ronghua or Mo Junyan who sent them.
Gu Qingming immediately decided to get to the bottom of it.
She said, “Madam, it’s not that I’m not feeling well. I deliberately hid in the room to let people think that there’s something wrong with my body.” Madam Mo was shocked. “Ha, Mingming, why did you do this?”
Madam Mo really did not understand why Gu Qingming would suddenly do this.
However, as soon as she finished asking, she immediately thought of something and asked, “Child, did you realize that someone was watching you?”
Gu Qingming nodded without hiding anything and said, “That’s right. 1 found that someone has been monitoring me. But at the same time, I also found that the person monitoring me doesn’t seem to have any ill intentions. Even so, 1 don’t want anyone to follow me and monitor me 24 hours a day. This makes me very uncomfortable. That’s why I came up with this plan. 1 didn’t expect…” She didn’t say it out loud, but it was self-evident!
Madam Mo’s expression froze for a moment before she burst out laughing. “Pfft! Haha, this young brat thought that he had done it flawlessly. He didn’t expect you to find out so quickly.”
Gu Qingming was speechless.
“Haha… I can’t take it anymore. Let me laugh for a while.” Madam Mo couldn’t stop laughing. Beside her, Mo Ronghua saw that his Madam was so happy that he took the phone and continued to say to Gu Qingming, “Mingming, don’t blame Junyan for doing this. He actually sent someone to protect you out of good intentions and concern.”
Gu Qingming frowned and was slightly puzzled.
Mo Ronghua, who was opposite her, might have sensed Gu Qingming’s doubts. He continued to explain, “It’s like this. Some time ago, Junyan discovered that a faction from South City was investigating you and targeting the organic crop technology that you were deploying. Junyan dealt with the people investigating you, but for safety reasons, he still sent people to protect you.”
Hearing Mo Ronghua’s explanation, Gu Qingming immediately fell silent with mixed feelings.
While Gu Qingming was silent, Chairman Mo, who had always been calm, actually became a little nervous at this moment.
Mo Ronghua explained anxiously, “Mingming, Junyan might have done something inappropriate by sending someone to protect you in the dark, but this child really did it out of concern and protection. He didn’t have any other intentions, nor did he deliberately spy on you. Don’t misunderstand him.”
After a moment of silence, Gu Qingming asked, “Why didn’t he explain himself?”
Mo Ronghua and his wife were dumbfounded..
