Chapter 207 Meeting
Chapter 207 Meeting
Gu Qingyu turned her gaze to the large and small shopping bags the two people were carrying, looked at the luxury brand logos on the packaging, and smiled meaningfully.
Judging from the total value of these things, it should be around four or five thousand. It seems that these two people have amassed a lot of wealth in recent times!
Gu Qingyu's gaze towards the shopping bag was not concealed, and Gu Wan saw this and just thought it was the envy of a young girl.
So, she said to Gu Qingyu in a gentle tone, "You are the Qingyu that my cousin mentioned. Come, come, it's our first meeting. Take this bottle of perfume and play with it."
As he spoke, Gu Wan took out an exquisite small bag from the shopping bag in his right hand and handed it to Gu Qingyu.
Gu Qingyu found Gu Wan's behavior funny. She raised her eyebrows and was about to say something when Chen Qingxue suddenly interrupted her.
Chen Qingxue, who had lived with Gu Qingyu for so many years, knew Gu Qingyu's temperament very well.
So, when Gu Wan suddenly handed the perfume to Gu Qingyu, Chen Qingxue's heart was lifted.
Especially after seeing Gu Qingyu's signature eyebrow-raising gesture, she knew that the other party definitely had nothing good to say, so Chen Qingxue decisively interrupted what the other party was about to say.
"Wanwan, you are so polite!"
"Qingyu is just a little kid, why does she need such expensive perfume? Put it away quickly!" As she said that, Chen Qingxue naturally took the perfume and put it back into Guo Wang's hand.
Gu Qingyu didn't say anything after hearing this, but just stood aside and watched Chen Qingxue talking to herself.
Gu Wan didn't know that Chen Qingxue was worried about Gu Qingyu's sudden outburst.
Gu Wan had heard from Chen Qingxue before that her stepdaughter was not only beautiful, but also had outstanding abilities.
Now that she had met her in person, she was indeed bright and beautiful, but her personality was a little cold. She and Chen Qingxue had been standing here for a long time, but Gu Qingyu had not taken the initiative to say hello.
However, Gu Wan thought that if she could successfully introduce such an outstanding girl to Lin Zhao, she would definitely be able to sell herself well in front of Lin Jueming and Old Master Lin.
Since there has been no good news from Chen Qingxue, and now that she has met Gu Qingyu himself, she might as well go and find out for herself.
Gu Wan did it as soon as she thought of it. She ignored Gu Qingyu's slightly cold expression, looked at her with a smile, and said in a kind tone, "Qingyu, how are you thinking about your Aunt Chen and the others introducing you to someone?"
"Lin Zhao is the eldest grandson of the Lin family and is very much loved by General Lin. He is young, but he has already achieved the rank of Lieutenant Colonel!"
Gu Qingyu looked at Gu Wan's attentive attitude and suddenly asked, "I know General Lin Wei's family! But which neighbor are you from?"
As soon as Gu Qingyu finished speaking, the smile on Gu Wan's face suddenly froze. Gu Qingyu's question was really too impolite!
Wasn't it because she had followed Lin Juemin for so many years without any status that she thought of introducing a good girl to the disabled Lin Zhao and selling her good things to the Lin family?
Now, when Gu Wan looked at Gu Qingyu again, she only felt that she was disgusting. She had slapped her in public. How could there be such a vicious girl!
Chen Qingxue, who was standing aside, calmed down when she heard Gu Qingyu's impolite question, and thought to herself: This is what Gu Qingyu would say!
However, seeing Gu Wan trembling with anger beside her, Chen Qingxue quickly stepped forward to help him up, and at the same time said to Gu Qingyu in a reproachful tone, "Qingyu, how can you talk like that? Apologize to Aunt Gu quickly!"
Gu Qingyu ignored Chen Qingxue's words. She turned around and continued to speak to Gu Wan, "You haven't even entered the Lin family yet, and you're already meddling in Young Master Lin's marriage. Aren't you overreaching?"
"Tell me, how would Lin Zhao feel if he knew that someone was so concerned about his marriage?" Gu Qingyu said with ill intention.
Seeing that Gu Qingyu was even more sarcastic towards him, Gu Wan couldn't stand it.
She pushed Chen Qingxue, who was supporting her, away and took two steps forward to stand in front of Gu Qingyu. She said sarcastically, "Why do you care whether I can enter the Lin family or not? You are so capable. Then go talk to Lin Zhao!"
"With your status, you'll probably be kicked out before you even meet Lin Zhao!"
Gu Qingyu looked at the other person's smug look and suddenly smiled, "Really? Since you say so, then I'll go give it a try!"
Gu Wan looked at Gu Qingyu with an expression of anticipation and said, "Humph! Go ahead, and if you get kicked out, you can't blame me!"
Just then, the bus that Gu Qingyu was waiting for arrived. She no longer cared what the two people behind her wanted to say, and directly bought a ticket and got on the bus.
However, after Gu Qingyu sat down by the window, when the bus started, she opened the window and said to Gu Wan and the others who were still standing outside, "Oh, I almost forgot to tell you!"
"Lin Zhao and I made an appointment to meet this morning. I will definitely explain everything that just happened to him in detail. You're welcome!"
As he said that, Gu Qingyu pulled up the car window, and then couldn't help laughing and fell on the seat.
Gu Wan tightly grasped Chen Qingxue's arm and asked anxiously, "Qingxue, I think there's something wrong with my ears. That damn girl... who did she say she had an appointment with?"
Chen Qingxue endured the pain on her arm from being grabbed by Gu Wan and said, "Lin Zhao!"
Hearing Chen Qingxue's affirmative answer, Gu Wan's face turned pale. How could he let Lin Zhao know about this?
Done!Done!
She's in big trouble this time!
No, she had to go back to Lin Juemin and ask for help, otherwise there would be no way to end this!
Thinking of this, Gu Wan no longer cared about Chen Qingxue beside him. He stopped a rickshaw on the side of the road and urged the driver to hurry up.
Chen Qingxue, who was left there, also had a very ugly expression on her face. She knew that every time she met that damn girl Gu Qingyu, nothing good would happen.
Looking at Gu Wan's flustered look, I knew that this matter would not end well.
Thinking of this, Chen Qingxue no longer cared about cursing Gu Qingyu in her heart. She had to hurry home to discuss with Gu An how to deal with the aftermath.
Gu Qingyu didn't know how panicked Gu Wan and Chen Qingxue were after she left. She was standing at the door of Lin Zhao's villa in Qianfu Lane, ready to knock!
Just as Gu Qingyu was about to raise her hand to knock on the door, the courtyard door was opened from the inside, and Lin Hai's familiar face appeared in front of Gu Qingyu.
Gu Qingyu looked at Lin Hai in a sarcastic tone and said, "Hey, isn't this Instructor Lin Hailin?"
Lin Hai frowned when he heard this. Looking at Gu Qingyu's slightly provocative smile, he endured it and said nothing more. He just said in a calm tone, "The boss has been waiting in the yard for a long time. Please follow me!"
As he said that, Lin Hai took a step back, raised his arm and made a gesture of invitation, as if waiting for Gu Qingyu to go first.
Seeing this, Gu Qingyu had no intention of continuing to make things difficult for Lin Hai. She held her head high and chest out, and walked into the yard with brisk steps.
After passing through two hanging flower gates and arriving at the inner courtyard, and walking around the winding corridor on the left, Gu Qingyu was led by Lin Hai to the garden of the quadrangle.
As soon as he entered the garden, Gu Qingyu was attracted by a figure lying under a red maple tree, leisurely reading a book.
As if startled by the footsteps of Gu Qingyu and the others, Lin Zhao sat up straight, put the book on the stone table next to him, turned around, and looked straight in the direction of Gu Qingyu.
This look was so deep and sharp that it penetrated deep into one's heart, making one feel an inexplicable chill.
Seeing this, Gu Qingyu did not avoid it. She looked at him directly with a frank look, and neither of them backed down.
Lin Hai didn't know what was going on between these two people. Why were they staring at each other endlessly?
Lin Hai, who couldn't bear to watch any longer, couldn't help but clear his cough a few times to remind them. Only then did Gu Qingyu and Lin Zhao look away.
"Student Gu, let me introduce you. This is my boss, Lin Zhao. I'm sure you should know him well!" Lin Hai introduced him to Gu Qingyu meaningfully.
Gu Qingyu didn't feel embarrassed at all when she heard this. She nodded calmly and said, "Well, for some reason, I did ask someone about it!"
"I'm sure you've all heard a lot about me. If there's anything you're not sure about, I'm right here to answer your questions!"
Neither of them seemed to have expected that Gu Qingyu would be so frank and unconventional. For a moment, it seemed that they were at a disadvantage in the conversation.
Lin Zhao looked at the calm Gu Qingyu in front of him, smiled, poured a cup of tea and handed it to her, then said, "Since Miss Gu said so, I do have some doubts and would like to ask Miss Gu for advice!"
Gu Qingyu took the teacup handed to her by Lin Zhao, looked at him sincerely, and said in an even more sincere tone, "If you have any questions, just ask. I will tell you everything I know!"
Lin Zhao looked at the other party sitting obediently on the stone bench, sipping tea in small sips, and felt that Gu Qingyu should study acting!
If he hadn't investigated the other party's information in advance, he would have really thought that she was just a girl with a simple personality.
If Gu Qingyu knew what Lin Zhao was thinking at this moment, he would probably jump up and spit at him!
If she hadn't been secretly investigating Lin Zhao's affairs and was discovered by someone just one step away, do you think Gu Qingyu would be willing to pretend to be well-behaved like this!
It's not that the situation is stronger than us, so we have to compromise!
Gu Qingyu sighed deeply, quickly came back to his senses, and gave a bright smile to Lin Zhao in front of him, fearing that the other party would notice that he had just been distracted!
Lin Zhao didn't notice that Gu Qingyu was distracted, but he was distracted by the other party's sudden sweet smile.
Lin Zhao cleared his throat and then continued to ask slowly, "Miss Gu, can you tell me why you went to so much trouble to find out about me and even specifically told me about Gu Wan and her son? What is your purpose?"
Seeing that Lin Zhao finally got to the point, Gu Qingyu immediately sat up straight, did not hide his thoughts, and explained in a serious manner.
"Gu Wan wanted to interfere in your marriage, and because she and my stepmother are distant cousins, they set their sights on me. That's why I secretly asked someone to find out about you!"
Gu Qingyu felt increasingly guilty as she spoke, and at the end, her voice was barely audible as she spoke, "After all, Gu Wan relies on your father, so I can't do anything to her. That's why I wanted to send this information to you!"
Lin Zhao looked at Gu Qingyu's guilty look and directly exposed Gu Qingyu's little thoughts in one sentence.
"That's a great idea of yours. It's a great way to kill someone with a borrowed knife!"
Lin Zhao's words were very rude, but Gu Qingyu didn't refute them. Instead, she smiled at Lin Zhao ingratiatingly and said, "It's not that you are incapable of doing it, so you have to seek help from outside!"
Then, Gu Qingyu talked about meeting Gu Wan on the way here. She said to Lin Zhao, "I guess Gu Wan must have returned home by now and gone to your father to inform him and seek help."
"Oh, aren't you afraid of alerting the enemy?"
Gu Qingyu complimented him, "Of course I'm not afraid. Isn't it true that you, Master Lin, are here to take charge?"
Lin Zhao looked at Gu Qingyu's extremely flattering appearance and snorted softly, "You are quite obedient!"
Having said that, Gu Qingyu revealed all her thoughts to Lin Zhao without reservation.
So, she took the opportunity to say, "I don't really care how you deal with Gu Wan and her son! But can you please take some time to deal with the matter of my two half-brothers who are using your Lin family's name to make money?"
Lin Zhao knew very well what Gu Qingyu's purpose was. He wanted to use him to teach Gu An and his wife a lesson.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll send these two people to jail?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyu spoke frankly, "What they did wasn't a big deal, but it's not a small one either. However, since this is linked to your father, they won't go to jail!"
"You can see clearly!"
Lin Zhao did not refute Gu Qingyu's words. It was indeed the case.
Everyone knew that Gu Wan was Lin Juemin's woman, so if she did something wrong, Lin Juemin would be the only one to take the blame. For the sake of the Lin family's reputation, even if Lin Zhao took action, he would choose to suppress the matter.
"I know about the matter. If nothing unexpected happens, there will be news in half a month. You just go back and wait for the final result!" As he said that, Lin Zhao picked up the teacup on the stone table and started to sip the tea.
Seeing the other party serve tea and send the guest away, Gu Qingyu did not stay any longer. She stood up and said goodbye to Lin Zhao very tactfully, "It's getting late, so I'll take my leave first!"
"Thank you again, Master Lin, for not taking it personally. I offended you by asking someone for information. Thank you for your willingness to teach the Gu family a lesson!"
As he said that, Gu Qingyu bowed deeply to Lin Zhao!
"The matter of the Gu brothers has a result. I'll let Lin Hai inform you!" After saying that, Lin Zhao waved his hand and let Gu Qingyu leave.
