Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 315 Lin Qingping, you should also have someone like that.

Lin Jiagui looked up and saw that it was indeed his sister, standing against the light, with a cold and serious expression.

He looked around in a panic, and the places on his body where Director Cheng had just beaten him suddenly hurt even more. More than his sister, he was afraid of someone else—that was a real pain, even more painful than the beating from Director Cheng.

Sure enough, Gu Juncheng was standing there with a dark expression.

Lin Jiagui trembled with fright. He didn't care about his disheveled clothes and tried to run away. However, several policemen came towards him from another direction.

When he tried to run again, the police shouted "Stop!" and he could no longer escape.

Lin Jiagui was taken away again, along with several of his gamblers.

Factory Director Cheng and Jiang Liping have already taken Cheng Yuanyuan home. Lin Qingping told them to go back first. She planned to stop getting involved in the Cheng family's affairs here. She didn't know how the Cheng family would handle the child in Cheng Yuanyuan's belly, but she never wanted to see him again. No matter what the child would look like in this life, just thinking about him would remind her of his hideous face before she died in her previous life.

Factory Director Cheng also knew that Lin Qingping, as the eldest sister of the Lin family, had done so much, which was already exceptionally reasonable. It could be said that she had added another favor to his family's record of being a benefactor, and his family now owed Lin Qingping another debt of gratitude.

Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng walked back to the hotel. It was just the two of them. Zhong Xiaoxiao hadn't been involved in what happened today and was resting at the hotel.

"Thank you for today," Lin Qingping said.

The result of Lin Qingping's discussion with Cheng's parents was that they wanted Cheng Yuanyuan to see clearly what kind of person Lin Jiagui really was.

But in fact, Lin Qingping was not so clear about her younger brother's whereabouts.

All she knew was that her brother had never changed his gambling habit, and that he had other women outside the marriage, more than one. In fact, when he was young, he had a passionate affair with a woman in the county who had lost her husband.

But as for the specifics and which woman it was, she didn't pay attention to them in her past life because the matter didn't escalate.

That's why she asked Gu Juncheng to investigate and find some clues to see if there was any way to expose her brother's secrets. She even thought of "fishing" if all else failed.

But her brother was clearly more disappointing than she had imagined. Not only was he easily found by Gu Juncheng, but he also knew exactly where Gu Juncheng was going.

Factory Director Cheng then borrowed a car, and several people rode in it to follow her brother.

She watched her brother go in to gamble with her own eyes, and heard him boasting and bragging outside, and then waited in the car.

Cheng Yuanyuan was already heartbroken at that time, and could hardly stay in the car. But the important thing was yet to come, and that was the reality that shattered Cheng Yuanyuan's last illusion.

Factory Director Cheng and Lin Qingping planned to wait a whole day until her brother came out to find that woman. However, it didn't even take a day. Her brother came out, and the cruel truth was revealed to Cheng Yuanyuan.

Gu Juncheng found out all of this in a short time. Lin Qingping felt that no matter what, she had to be a reasonable person and thank him when she should.

Gu Juncheng glanced at her and said, "No need to be so polite."

"Of course I should. We're not related, and you've helped me so much, I should say thank you. Otherwise, I'll seem like I'm being inconsiderate." Lin Qingping herself felt that her words were rather sarcastic, but so what?

Gu Juncheng glanced at her again.

"Why are you looking at me?" Lin Qingping glanced at him.

“I just feel…” Gu Juncheng hesitated, “your thanks don’t seem very sincere!”

"It's alright!" The thanks were sincere, and the sarcastic tone was also genuine.

“Then I disagree with your statement.” Gu Juncheng’s tone also carried the implication that she was referring to.

"What do you disagree with?"

"You said we're not related," he said slowly. "Not related, I admit it now, not related... but we have a past."

"Ha!" Lin Qingping laughed, her laughter laced with sarcasm. "We have a reason? Didn't you deny it? Didn't you only recognize your Xiaxia? Xiaxia, where is Xiaxia?"

Lin Qingping mimicked the tone he used when calling Chen Xia in the hospital, and snorted coldly.

Gu Juncheng seemed to be speechless for a moment.

The summer wind, carrying the familiar yet unfamiliar scent of my hometown, surges in, a lush and damp smell of vegetation.

Lin Qingping sighed, "Gu Juncheng, even now, why do you still help me with everything? You do whatever I ask you to do?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Juncheng simply replied, "It's not important."

"Why isn't it important? Of course it's important!" Lin Qingping glanced at him and said, "I'll never contact you again."

"Lin Qingping." He suddenly called her name solemnly, "If you need anything in the future, you can come to me whenever you need me, just like now. If you can't find me, look for Wu Tianjiao. Tianping is with me."

As they walked along the road, Gu Juncheng walked on the outside of the road and Lin Qingping walked on the inside. However, when they were crossing an intersection, a bicycle suddenly came speeding towards them, hugging the curb. The young man riding the bicycle was also frightened, ringing his bicycle bell loudly and yelling "Wah wah" to get out of the way.

Lin Qingping jumped out and stepped on Gu Juncheng's foot. Gu Juncheng didn't say a word, but she lost her balance and fell onto Gu Juncheng's chest. Gu Juncheng's hands firmly supported her.

The young man on the bicycle rang his bell as he rode away, laughing heartily, "Goodbye, big brothers and sisters!"

Lin Qingping was speechless. These young people nowadays! Was it done on purpose?

Her back was still against Gu Juncheng's chest, and Gu Juncheng's hands were still supporting her. She could feel Gu Juncheng's chest rising and falling and his steady, powerful heartbeat.

Just as she was about to speak and break free, she heard his voice behind her, "Lin Qingping, didn't you ask me why I'm always willing to help you with things?"

Lin Qingping stopped moving. "Why?"

"Today, Director Cheng said he'll always be Cheng Yuanyuan's support. Even when he's seventy or eighty and needs a cane, he'll still fight those who bully her." He paused. "Lin Qingping, you don't have a father like that to protect you, and your brother is even less reliable..."

He remained silent for even longer.

Lin Qingping suddenly knew what he wanted to say, but with his personality, it was difficult for him to say it.

She waited quietly, only to hear him slowly say, "Lin Qingping, you had a very pitiful childhood..."

The words sounded familiar; he had said them before, but she was afraid he would deny it again. She was too lazy to press him further and continued to wait for him to speak.

"Lin Qingping, you should have someone like that too..."
