Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 290 2 Qing

Gu Youlian helped Lin Qingping to the bathroom, with Lin Qingping leaning all her weight on Gu Youlian as she hopped to the bathroom.

On the way, she looked downstairs, but there was no one there.

"Has Xiaotian left?" she asked tentatively.

Gu Youlian nodded, "They left. They left after breakfast. Chengzi left too."

Lin Qingping did not speak again.

She washed herself in the bathroom with one hand and realized that she could actually take care of herself all along, but Gu Juncheng had always called her a useless person, saying that she had to rely on him for everything, from eating and drinking to using the toilet...

And she actually believed it!

Finally, Gu Youlian helped her back to bed and made her lie down. She pointed to a whistle next to the pillow and said, "This was left by Chengzi. If you need anything while I'm busy downstairs, just blow the whistle and I'll come up right away."

Lin Qingping: ...

That's really something! Blowing a whistle!

Gu Juncheng left without saying goodbye this time, and then disappeared without a trace.

Lin Qingping recalled what he had said to her at the hospital: once she returned to the capital and recovered, if she didn't want to see him, she simply wouldn't.

Now, he has truly disappeared...

"That's good!" Lin Qingping thought to herself, "It'll save me from getting annoyed by seeing it!"

Another week has passed in the blink of an eye.

During the week, Gu Youlian and Sister Zhao took turns taking care of her. Zhiyuan would do his homework in her room every day after school and keep her company. Time passed quickly.

Wu Tianjiao somehow found out about her injury and came to see her, scolding her for staying so long: "You got injured and didn't even tell me! Don't you consider me a friend?"

Lin Qingping laughed and said, "I need to be able to notify you! Look at my arms and legs, how could I possibly walk there?"

"Alright, stop making excuses for me! If you say that, I'll think you're implying that I should find a way to install a phone for you!" Wu Tian said coquettishly.

Telephone?

Lin Qingping couldn't really remember when home telephones became widespread. In a time when most families didn't have telephones, even if they did, it wasn't very convenient—how many people could you call? Besides, she had enjoyed the convenience of mobile phones in her previous life, so she wasn't that attached to telephones. However, she did need Wu Tianjiao to do her a favor.

"By the way, Tianjiao, do you know any reliable lawyers?"

"What? You're going to sue? With whom? What happened?" Wu Tianjiao bombarded her with questions, practically wishing she could step in herself to stand up for Lin Qingping.

Lin Qingping hurriedly said, "No, I want to make a will, but I don't know how to make a will that will be legally effective now?"

"Make a will?" Wu Tianjiao stared at her, her eyes sharp and filled with worry.

Lin Qingping couldn't help but laugh. "I don't have a terminal illness! I just want to prepare for the future."

Her life can be described as a stolen one.

She didn't know what the future held, or when she would suddenly pass away.

After this ordeal, she realized one thing: life and death are predestined, and accidents can happen at any time. If she were to die, all her property would once again fall into the hands of her mother and brother.

I can't let this happen again in my life!

Although Wu Tianjiao didn't understand why she wanted to make a will at such a young age, she still found her a very capable lawyer.

The lawyer came to our house the next afternoon.

Lin Qingping made arrangements for her current assets: this house in the capital would be left to Zhiyuan, and her savings, no matter how much she had at the time of her death, would be distributed according to a percentage: 10% to Gu Juncheng, 45% to Zhiyuan, and 45% to her younger sister Lin Qingyun.

This was the result of her careful consideration.

The reason for leaving 10% to Gu Juncheng is to pay off debts.

She received his kindness in her past life and originally wanted to repay him by living a good life in this life, but she didn't expect it to turn out like this. So she decided to repay him directly with money. What she owed was money, and what she repaid was also money, which was quite appropriate. Moreover, 10% of her own property should be enough to pay off the principal and interest, right?

In this way, things will be clear between them, and perhaps there will be no entanglement in the next life...

After the lawyer left, she lay back on the bed, thinking about her past and present lives, feeling somewhat listless.

Unbeknownst to her, while she was talking to her lawyer, there were two people, one older and one younger, listening outside her door.

After the lawyer left, the house was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Downstairs at the dining table, dinner had already been prepared, but Zhiyuan and Gu Youlian sat on either side of the table, lost in thought and motionless.

After a while, Zhiyuan's tears started to fall. Gu Youlian saw this but couldn't persuade him to stop, so she also silently shed tears.

Gu Juncheng arrived at this time.

Upon entering, I saw two people sitting there motionless, shedding tears. The dishes on the table were untouched, and they didn't say a word. My heart skipped a beat. What terrible thing had happened?

"What's wrong?" he asked anxiously.

When Zhiyuan heard the noise and saw it was him, he immediately rushed into his arms, hugged his waist and cried.

Gu Juncheng became even more anxious. Zhiyuan rarely cried and was very opinionated. What could make him cry like this?

"My mom... my mom, she..." Zhiyuan cried so hard he couldn't finish his sentence.

"Lin Qingping?" His heart skipped a beat. "What happened to her?"

As he spoke, he took Zhiyuan's hand and started to walk upstairs.

Gu Youlian hurriedly followed, telling him as they walked about how a lawyer had come to help Lin Qingping make a will that afternoon.

"Dad Gu, is my mom... going to..." Zhiyuan choked up, his eyes swollen from crying.

Gu Juncheng's face was clouded with anger. He whispered to Zhiyuan, "Wait down here." His voice was firm.

Gu Youlian quickly pulled Zhiyuan back, and Gu Juncheng went into Lin Qingping's room alone and closed the door.

Lin Qingping was sleeping, but lately she's been sleeping a lot, so her sleep is very light. As soon as the door closed, she woke up. In her daze, she saw Gu Juncheng. She thought she was dreaming. She rubbed her eyes and sure enough, it was him. Moreover, he looked very unwell.

"Why are you here again?" she blurted out. Wasn't he supposed to have left? Wasn't he supposed to never appear in front of her again?

"Lin Qingping." His expression was grave as he sat down beside her bed. "Are you hiding something from me?"

"I..." She thought for a moment, and realized that he did indeed have a share in her will, though she hadn't told him.

Her expression confirmed to him: something was definitely wrong!

"Let me see it!" he whispered.

Show him the will? Impossible! If he knew she was leaving him an inheritance, wouldn't he be smug? But how would he know? It's impossible for him to know! Lawyers have professional ethics!

She shook her head, though she herself didn't know what it meant. Was it that she wouldn't show him the will? Or that she was denying that she had made a will?

"Okay, I'll find it myself." He didn't press her and started rummaging through drawers and cabinets himself.

Lin Qingping found him strange. His complexion was clearly bad, but he didn't seem angry like he used to. Instead, he looked very depressed and sad.

Seeing that he had turned the bedroom upside down, she had no choice but to say, "What are you looking for? It's not at home, you won't find it at home!" She had already handed it over to her lawyer.
