Stretching lazily, Gu Qingyou looked at the "homework" that she had just completed and revealed a satisfied smile.
Mrs Jiang came to the study room and just happened to see Gu Qingyou walking in with a smile on her face, "Finished?"
When Gu Qingyou saw Mrs Jiang, she immediately got up from her chair and called out respectfully, "Mom."
Mrs Jiang walked in front of the desk and said lovingly, "You've been busy the whole afternoon, yet you don't know how to take a rest?? "Drink this bowl of soup."
The butler placed the bowl of soup on the desk.
Gu Qingyou was very obedient and picked up the soup. As the temperature was just right, she spooned it into her mouth one mouthful at a time.
When Mrs Jiang saw that Gu Qingyou had wiped away the dark and relaxed expression from her face a few days ago, she could not help but feel gratified in her heart. Drink more, Mom cooks it herself."
"Yes."
Gu Qingyou drank not a drop left, when the butler took the bowl, she laughed: "Young Mistress, please drink some more, Mistress has cooked for a few hours already."
"Alright." Gu Qingyou replied in a good mood.
The butler quickly turned around and went downstairs to get it.
Mrs Jiang picked up the "homework" that Gu Qingyou had just finished and asked, "Is this the part for the written test?"
Gu Qingyou nodded her head, "The Center Group gave us a few cases, and let us express our views on these cases. This is the draft, the main text I will send to the examiners of the Center Group through my mailbox later. If I pass it, I can go for an interview tomorrow afternoon."
"It's that troublesome?" The Mrs Jiang raised her eyebrows. Even entering the Jiang family would not be so troublesome! "
"Who said that?" Gu Qingyou walked out from behind the desk and intimately wrapped her arms around Mrs Jiang. Getting into the Jiang family is much more troublesome than this... One had to know that the Jiang family advocated a principle?? 'I don't want to be an elite, as long as it's one of the elites'. Therefore, if I were to apply for the position in the Jiang family, I might not even be able to step through the doorstep."
Mrs Jiang could not help but laugh, "After your father retired, I did not ask about the matters of the company. I did not expect Jun Er to be so strict and strict??."
"It's really harsh." Gu Qingyou said lazily, "For anyone who enters the Jiang??s Group, regardless of whether you have experience or not, you must graduate from one of the top institutions, whether you have or not. So, for a person like me who hasn't even graduated from university, how can I enter the Jiang family?"
The Mrs Jiang gave Gu Qingyou a deep glance, "Mom thinks that if you had a normal childhood, you would have definitely graduated from a famous institution as well."
Seeing the sadness in Mrs Jiang's eyes, Gu Qingyou immediately guessed what Mrs Jiang was thinking at the moment. She hurriedly comforted him, "Mother, please don't think about the past anymore, because my mother has already been relieved of her worries??"
"Really?" Mrs Jiang's eyes widened in disbelief.
Gu Qingyou nodded seriously, "I forgot to tell you, when I went to see mother that day, she personally told me that she would no longer choose to force me with Qingsheng. She only hopes that I could visit her more in the future??"
Mrs Jiang's eyes lit up like stars.
Gu Qingyou gently embraced Mrs Jiang and leaned on her shoulder. I think I haven't been to see her in the past few days, and she thought I wasn't going to keep up with her, so she figured out?? Of course, with how deeply my mother hates Jiang Family, I ca ot rule out the hatred in her heart, but at least she won't be born lightly now."
Mrs Jiang lightly called out, then nodded.
Only then did Gu Qingyou slowly let go of Mrs Jiang, and she could not help but feel guilty and remorseful. She quickly changed the topic, "Oh right, where is Mu Mu?"
Mrs Jiang suddenly remembered and said, "Mu Mu is still playing in the hall. Just then, when Jun Er called you and Mu Mu answered your phone, she was prepared to tell you that she was afraid that he would disturb you and let him continue playing in the hall."
"Oh."
Gu Qingyou seemed to be indifferent towards Jiang Jun's call, she went back to her desk and continued to check if there were any mistakes in the content of the written test.
Mrs Jiang looked at Gu Qingyou. Although she was pleased that Gu Qingyou was no longer depressed, she knew that the injury Jiang Jun had brought to him had not yet healed.
At the moment, he did not even know if Gu Qingyou would still have any feelings for him in the future.
"Quiet??"
"Hmm?" Hearing Mrs Jiang's call, Gu Qingyou raised her peaceful and gentle face.
In truth, Mrs Jiang still hoped that Gu Qingyou could give him another chance, but the words that came out of her mouth were not enough for Mrs Jiang to have the courage to say it.
"Nothing." The Mrs Jiang finally shook his head, "You better work hard and enrich yourself!"
Gu Qingyou smiled, "Mn."
At night.
Gu Qingyou sat on the headboard, quietly watching the screen.
The screen of the phone was fixed on the record of Jiang Jun calling. Gu Qingyou's eyes were filled with concentration, and she gradually lost focus.
Had she forgotten her grief so easily?
No...
For a person like her, because she was too meticulous in her thoughts, it was extremely difficult for her to forget one thing or one person??
To be honest, when she heard from Mrs Jiang that he had called her, her heart trembled for a second.
He was the only person in her life she had ever loved. How could she give up on that person in an instant?
However??
From today onwards, she would no longer love him.
Even if it was very, very difficult to let go of this person, she would still try to do it??
From today onwards, she would only live a life of mutual respect with him. However, there would no longer be any feelings between them??
Actually, she had thought that if he hadn't brought Su Mo back with her, she would have waited for him the entire time. But now, she realized that her heart was tired, tired??
On her way, she was exhausted.
She only hoped that their children would grow up healthy and that their parents would be fine on both sides.
Thinking about it, Gu Qingyou picked up her phone and dialed Jiang Jun's number.
Jiang Jun was probably in her car or in her room, the surroundings were completely silent.
"Did you call me during the day?" Gu Qingyou asked Jiang Jun politely, as if she was a completely different person.
Jiang Jun was clearly too used to Gu Qingyou's courtesy, as she gently replied, "It's fine, I just wanted to ask what you're doing."
"Oh??" Gu Qingyou smiled and replied, "I went to Zhongzheng Law Firm to apply, and spent the entire afternoon completing the written examination for the candidate, so I didn't receive your call."
"It doesn't matter."
"Is there anything else?"
"Nope."
"Mm, then goodbye."
"Alright."
Gu Qingyou ended the call.
However, even she didn't expect that at the moment she ended the call, her eyes would suddenly be clouded with water vapor.
In fact, it was not only Jiang Jun who was unaccustomed to such formalities, even she herself was unaccustomed to it??
But what?
They were not in love with each other to maintain the marriage, as they should have been.
Gu Qingyou took a deep breath to suppress the pain in her chest. She removed the pink diamond wedding ring from her ring finger and quietly locked it inside a box in the drawer of the bedside table.
Gu Qingyou successfully passed the written test, and went to the Zhongzheng Law Firm early in the morning.
She did not expect that the number of people who had passed the written examination would still be no less than one hundred, and they had all reached the Bar earlier than her.
In her boredom, Gu Qingyou took the morning newspaper and magazines that were placed beside the Bar and started to casually look through them.
Seeing her calmness, the candidates around her couldn't help but give her a few more glances.
Gu Qingyou thought that the person beside him recognized her, and then took out the small mirror from his bag and peeked at himself.
She relaxed a little when she saw her face in the mirror under her heavy makeup, a face that even she was unfamiliar with.
Although the Director Jiang couple did not mind that she had come out to work, she did not want to cause any trouble.
She hoped that if she ever worked here in the future, no one here would recognize her.
After waiting for an entire morning, Gu Qingyou was finally called by her name by the staff member at the center of attention. She quickly got up, but who would have thought that someone in front of her accidentally bumped into her, causing her resume to fall to the ground.
"I'm in a hurry. I'm really sorry."
The person who bumped into her immediately apologized and bent down to help her pick up the scattered resume.
Gu Qingyou said in a friendly ma er, "It's alright, I'll pick it up myself."
"Gu Qingyou?"
Inadvertently, he caught a glimpse of the name on her resume, and the man who'd bumped into him slipped out and looked at her.
Gu Qingyou stiffened for a moment, but her reaction speed was extremely fast, she immediately thought out the words she had thought of beforehand, "Don't look at me with such a gaze, I am definitely not the Gu Qingyou you think of, if not why would I come here to apply??"
The man smiled and stood up.
Gu Qingyou also stood up and looked at the man unintentionally. Only now did she realize that the man in front of him was tall, straight, and elegant and handsome.
Other than Jiang Jun, Gu Qingyou had never seen anyone with such a noble and high-class aura, this was the second time.
The man passed the resume he had picked up to Gu Qingyou. It didn't hurt you just now, right? "
Gu Qingyou shook her head, "I'm fine."
"You worked at Mo Qinghua's law firm before?" the man asked again.
Gu Qingyou noticed that this man was about the same age as her, but he exuded a calm and extraordinary aura. She guessed that this man was at least a senior lawyer, so she modestly said, "At that time, Boss Mo needed a lawyer who could speak Chinese. I accepted the offer, but I've only been a lawyer for two years with very little experience??
"The man smiled again, giving off a refreshing feeling." It's my honor to know you. My name is Chi Yifeng."
Gu Qingyou was slightly embarrassed, "My name is Gu Qingyou, and I am also honored to know you. I hope that we can work together in the future."
The man raised his hand and checked the time."Sorry, I was in a hurry, so??"
The man was a very elegant person. Just now, he had accidentally bumped into someone. Clearly, it was an urgent matter, but there was an urgent matter, yet he was able to maintain his demeanor and pick up the resume for her.
"Sorry for delaying you, please." Saying that, Gu Qingyou moved her body away.
