Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 516 Everything is so good

From that night on, Lin Qingping couldn't help but smile every time she saw Wu Tianjiao.

Whenever she smiled, Gu Juncheng would stare at her from the side, and only she knew what his eyes meant.

Wu Tianjiao was baffled by her laughter. "Tell me, is there a flower blooming on my face, or something growing there? What's so funny?"

Lin Qingping put her arm around her shoulder and laughed, "I've been with you every day lately, and our old comrade Gu has some complaints."

Wu Tianjiao laughed too, "Don't be so clingy! Master Gu, if you're going to be so stingy, I might really just kidnap your bottle!"

“That’s a great idea! Now that you can take care of the baby yourself, Tianjiao and I will go on a round-the-world trip for six months before coming back.” Lin Qingping winked.

Then, visibly, Master Gu's face fell.

Wu Tianjiao also burst into laughter, "Alright, alright, let's just give you back to him. I'm scared of the look in his eyes, I don't want him chasing me to the ends of the earth!"

Lin Qingping felt rather vain, actually feeling a little satisfied with Gu Juncheng's reaction. This small satisfaction filled the void of disappointment that had suddenly risen that night.

So, she really is making a fuss over nothing.

Time flies when you're in the capital.

Regardless of the store, the situation regarding new product launches and development is very encouraging.

The dessert shop's milk tea became an instant hit, taking over several streets. Lin Qingping secretly told Wu Tianjiao and Gu Youlian to remember to invite some people to line up on the official launch day...

Okay, this is the model that online celebrity stores have been using since then, but... the results are still pretty good.

However, her arrangement turned out to be unnecessary, because there was no need to hire anyone; the queue formed a long line on its own.

After the restructuring, everything at the cake factory went smoothly. She went to teach the new products every few days, and this time she finally paid off all the new product debts she had incurred during the time she was pregnant.

Mei Li came back, and Lin Qingping finally persuaded her to leave the garment factory after much persuasion.

Moreover, Mei Li herself felt the pressure and planned to switch to a high-end approach, even asking Lin Qingping if it was okay.

Lin Qingping really didn't dare to make any definitive statements about the clothing, since she wasn't an economics major. All she could say to Mei Li was: "Go with your own ideas, we're not afraid of losing anyway!"

After thinking about it, Meili felt relieved. Indeed, at worst, she could start over. It wasn't like the family was going hungry just because they had lost money.

“If you lose money, come back and support me!” Mei Li said, pointing at her.

"Okay!" Lin Qingping agreed without hesitation.

Another topic of discussion was the aquaculture industry with Expert Shen. Both of them were very confident. In addition, Lin Qingping met with several assistants introduced to her by Expert Shen. They had agreed to go south with Lin Qingping after the summer vacation to inspect potential locations.

Everything was so good, except for one disappointing thing—my mother-in-law, Liu Fen, always wanted to see my baby.

Lin Qingping planned to hold a 100-day celebration for her daughter, Zhangzhu, in the capital with relatives and friends. It was a joyous occasion, and she didn't want any arguments to break out at the celebration if her mother-in-law insisted on coming in.

Unexpectedly, Gu Youlian solved the problem.

Gu Youlian bought two tickets and sent her mother directly back to her hometown.

Lin Qingping was puzzled, so after Liu Fen left, she went to Gu Youlian's house to inquire about what had happened.

Gu Youlian was still angry when she brought it up, "My mother is really getting more and more confused as she gets older, I'm so angry I could die."

It turned out that after that concert hall incident, Du Gen appeared in front of Gu Youlian several more times, and once, he even went directly into Gu Youlian's home.

"Can you imagine the gloom I felt when I came back from the shop and saw him sitting in the living room?" Gu Youlian said angrily. "No wonder he always manages to catch me off guard. It turns out my mother tipped him off. My mother even wants me to get back together with him!"

"This..." Lin Qingping was puzzled. "What was your mother thinking?"

"They think I have no man, no son, and no one to inherit all this money! Isn't Xiaomai human? I'm so angry!" The saddest thing in Gu Youlian's life wasn't Du Gen's betrayal, but her most cherished Xiaomai. Because she was a girl, she had suffered so much. Now, there were people who said that Xiaomai was a daughter. Even if the person who said that was her mother, she would not forgive her!

Lin Qingping had been leaving early and returning late lately, and rarely visited Gu Youlian, so she really didn't know so much had happened. "What exactly does Du Gen mean by this?"

"To put it bluntly, they're not doing well!" Gu Youlian said. "They used to work for you and were doing really well, so they thought they were capable. In the two years since they left the factory, they've been dealing in clothing. The clothes in the south are trendy, so they came here to sell them, but they haven't made much of a name for themselves. Their 'cousin' wanted to live a good life, so she built a three-story house in the village. I heard that she has everything she needs. It's not just in the village, but it's one of the best in the county. In such a short time, all the money has been gone. Without money, the couple argues every day, and the woman has left the child and gone out to work again."

"Does that mean...you're divorced?" Lin Qingping wondered. Du Gen had been pestering Gu Youlian, so she must be single now, right?

"I heard that's true," Gu Youlian said. "'My cousin' met someone better outside, so she divorced him. She left the child with him, and his mother is taking care of her back in our hometown."

Gu Youlian smiled bitterly as she said this, "Last time you asked me, I didn't know anything. How come I know so much now? Can you guess?"

Do I even need to guess? It must have been Liu Fen who said it.

"That's right, it was my mother. She asked me everything clearly and then came to tell me that it's always best to be the original spouse. What man doesn't make mistakes? As long as he knows how to turn back, it's fine. What's this about being my own man and being considerate?" Gu Youlian spat several times. "Considerate, my foot! The last time he came to my house, I wiped the whole house down with disinfectant from the hospital. Considerate! Let me tell you about the bottle. My mother actually said that he's my original husband, and if we have another child, he'll be Xiaomai's younger brother. That would be perfect. Even if I don't want to have another child, Dugen already has a son. He's still young and doesn't recognize anyone yet. She wants me to raise him from a young age so he'll only recognize me in the future. Tell me, why should I keep him here if I don't send him back? If I stay here, he might sell my daughter and me one day!"

Lin Qingping couldn't really comment, after all, she was Gu Youlian's biological mother.

She patted Gu Youlian and said, "Big sister, you are clear-headed and wiser than anyone else now. As long as you have a firm goal, you have nothing to fear."

She hoped Gu Youlian wouldn't turn back, and of course, she believed that Gu Youlian would never turn back, no matter how much Du Gen repented.

With Liu Fen gone, Lin Qingping can now enjoy her 100-day celebration without any worries.

As her daughter turns 100 days old, it also means that summer vacation is coming to an end. After the 100-day celebration, she will return to the island.
