After Gu Qingyou learned that Jiang Jun had arrived in London today, she intentionally asked Boss Mo for sick leave. At the same time, she also asked Aunt Shu and the brat's kindergarten manager to request for leave, and decided to not step foot into the city in the next two days.
In the quiet afternoon, under the tree's shade, Gu Qingyou was leisurely reading a law school book, while the little brat was playing with Klass.
Klass's father had taught the kid how to take off and bring down the Remote Control Aircraft a few days ago, and the kid had played extremely well these two days. Compared to Klass, Klass had played even better.
Gu Qingyou would occasionally raise her eyes to look at the little brat, and all she saw were the little brat and Klass's naive smiles.
Gu Qingyou felt that her life was more than enough??
with such a lovely child, a steady job, a family of three generations... She was very satisfied with her current comfortable life.
The phone suddenly rang. Gu Qingyou retracted his gaze and calmly picked it up.
Looking at the number that was displayed on the phone's screen, Gu Qingyou was slightly startled, and then, he answered the call."Hey??"
"Quiet."
After not hearing Mrs Jiang's voice for roughly half a year, Gu Qingyou realized that her voice was still as intimate as ever."Mom."
"I've already worked very hard not to call you, but I really want to talk to Mu Mu, can you let me talk to him on the phone?"
"Of course you can, I will call Mu Mu over right now."
"Alright."
Gu Qingyou immediately put down his phone, and said to the brat who was having fun, "Mu Mu, come over, Grandma wants to talk to you on the phone."
The brat was initially unhappy about answering the phone, but when he heard that it was from his grandmother, he immediately dropped the Remote Control Aircraft and ran over.
Gu Qingyou wiped the sweat off her forehead and handed the phone over to the brat.
The little kid obediently called out, "Grandma."
"Hey, Mu Mu..." Mrs Jiang was extremely pampered, "Did you miss Grandmother? Grandmother really misses you??"
"There's someone who misses Grandma."
"Wow, Mu Mu is so obedient?? Mu Mu, what do you want to eat? Tell Grandma and I will buy it for you."
"Grandma, I don't need anything to eat or play. Mummy has everything for me??" Grandma, are you feeling better? "
"Grandmother is in great health. Little darling, don't worry about Grandmother, do you understand?"
"Yes, Grandmother, you should eat more carrots and less chocolate??" Mommy said it would be good for you."
"Grandmother understands. Be good and go play??" Give the phone to Mommy."
"Alright."
After Gu Qingyou received the phone, she smiled and said, "He's been playing with the Remote Control Aircraft for the past two days, so her thoughts are all there. So you can tell that he wants to go play with it, right?"
Usually, when Mrs Jiang called the brat, they could chat for at least an hour or two. But today, they only chatted for a few minutes.
Mrs Jiang said in a gratified tone."Hearing him call me grandma and even knowing how to care about my body, how can I be unsatisfied? I only need to hear his happy laughter??"
Gu Qingyou lightly bit her lips.
How could she not hear the longing for the brat in Mrs Jiang's words? However?? She didn't dare to point it out because she was afraid that if she did, the Mrs Jiang would raise the thought of wanting to see this brat.
It was not that she didn't want Mrs Jiang to see her child, but Jiang Jun was simply too sharp. Three years ago, she could hide it from him;
"Qingyou, do you know about Jiang Jun's situation in London?" Mrs Jiang suddenly asked.
Gu Qingyou wiped her nose, alleviating the soreness a little, and said with a normal voice, "Mn."
"Then you??" The Mrs Jiang wanted to say something but hesitated.
Gu Qingyou could tell that the question Mrs Jiang just asked was not a casual question. She took a deep breath, letting her breath calm down completely, and asked with a serious tone, "Mom, is there anything you want to tell me?"
"If you're working these next two days, then don't go downtown??"
"I??"
Gu Qingyou wanted to say that she had already applied for a leave of absence, but before Gu Qingyou could reply, Mrs Jiang had already spat out the worry in her heart, "Mother, I don't want you to meet Jiang Jun. This way, Mother will feel even more ashamed of her Jiang Family."
"What makes Mom think that?" Gu Qingyou smiled gently on her sad face. I've never felt that anyone in the Jiang Family has let me down, not to mention that I've always been very grateful to your mother for helping me three years ago?? I know you wouldn't have wanted to do this if you hadn't really cared for me."
Mrs Jiang let out a soft sigh, "I only heard about it because I have never asked about the relationship between Jun Er and his?? I heard that Su Mo was the one who pulled the strings for the deal this time, so Jiang Jun was going to London with Su Mo this time?? "
In fact, when Mrs Jiang wanted to say something, she had already guessed it.
However, her heart didn't feel anything. It was true.
It was not that he had given up on that person after so long, rather, she had been very clear during these past few years that he was with Su Mo.
Since the two of them were together, it was only natural for them to have intimate relationships with each other. What was there for her to feel uncomfortable about? Besides, this was the result she wanted to see, as long as he was well.
Gu Qingyou did not explain too much to Mrs Jiang. She felt that the more she explained, the more the elder would worry about her, so she followed along with Mrs Jiang's words and replied, "Mom, I asked for a leave of absence today. I'm staying at home."
"That's good." The Mrs Jiang heaved a sigh of relief, "During this period of time, I often remember when you were at home. At that time, the house was bustling with noise and excitement every day, but now the house is cold and quiet, not like a home at all??"
Gu Qingyou's clear eyes flickered slightly as she looked at Mu Mu. She said calmly, "Mom will definitely find a chance to let you meet with Mu Mu, but I won't do it yet, but I will definitely do it."
This time, when Jiang Jun was in London, she suddenly thought of a possibility that she could bring Mu Mu back to China while he was on a business trip??
Yes, this was a good opportunity, as long as her itinerary was confidential.
"Really?" Mrs Jiang was overjoyed, "Will you really bring Mu Mu to see me?"
Due to the fact that Mrs Jiang's health was not very good, if she were to go abroad, Jiang Jun would definitely send people to follow him. Therefore, Mrs Jiang had never dared to come to London to see her grandson??
"Of course??" Gu Qingyou said in a solemn voice, "I promise you, I will be sure to make it quick."
Gu Qingyou stayed at home for two days in a row. As expected, everything was calm and peaceful, and she was worried that Jiang Jun had not returned home yet. Gu Qingyou stayed at home for another two days, and after she reckoned that it was impossible for Jiang Jun to still be in London, Gu Qingyou finally went to bed and went to work as usual.
As she had not been to work for a few days, and many cases were being dragged, Gu Qingyou had been busy during these two days in the court.
It wasn't until six o'clock tonight that the case was over, and by the time it was over she felt exhausted, but fortunately she had won.
In Beth's case, she'd managed to secure custody of the child for her.
Therefore, even though she was tired, Gu Qingyou felt a sense of accomplishment in her heart when she thought of how a child could be with a gentle mother and not an alcoholic father.
She wasn't really a lawyer now, only a person with a legal qualification, but she had a long way to go, because it felt so good to have justice.
However, justice had to be done at a price, just like what she was doing right now. If she stood up in a lawsuit, her legs would be broken, but it was hard to get a taxi at this time of the meal. She waited for a long time, but no car stopped.
Gu Qingyou was indeed tired, so she squatted on the side of the road.
However, she did not notice that a car's light was flying towards her, and when she felt the light, a black business car had already stopped in front of Gu Qingyou.
At first, Gu Qingyou only thought that it was a passer-by who wanted to get off from the carriage, but when she saw the person who was getting off the driver's seat, she was startled.
Yes...
The one who got off the carriage was Ye Shuo, and the dark window in the backseat revealed the silhouette of the person inside. It was the silhouette that Gu Qingyou was familiar with.
Gu Qingyou only straightened up after a long time had passed. His face was slightly pale, but she still didn't dare to believe it.
Ye Shuo said respectfully, "Madam, I happened to pass by this place and recognized you at a glance?? Boss Jiang is in the carriage, please get in."
"Madam!"
This phrase was so old that Gu Qingyou had almost forgotten it.
"Uh, I'm in a hurry to get some information from the court right now, I'm afraid... It's time for the next one." Gu Qingyou calmed down and said with a smile.
"Get information from the court?" Ye Shuo looked behind Gu Qingyou, and slowly said, "Isn't the court behind Madame?"
Gu Qingyou, "..."
Damn it, in her desperation, she'd forgotten she'd just come out of court.
"Not this court. I'm going to another court." Gu Qingyou admired her current reaction speed.
Ye Shuo looked at the cars on both sides and said, "It's very hard to get a taxi at a time like this, let's just treat it as sending you off."
The heavens were her savior. Just at that moment, when she did not know how to reject Ye Shuo, a taxi appeared in front of him, causing him to immediately wave goodbye. Then, the taxi stopped.
Without further ado, Gu Qingyou said apologetically to Ye Shuo, "Tell your boss, if there's a chance, let's chat again next time. I'm in a hurry to get the information from the court right now??"
However, no one had expected that at this time, the window on the back seat of the MPV slowly rolled down as a deep gaze swept over.
When Gu Qingyou started to walk towards the taxi, he said with a calm and steady voice, "Get in?? "After so many years of not seeing each other, there's no reason for us to say goodbye in such a hurry if we meet again."
When the familiar voice entered Gu Qingyou's ears, and when the light rays and the gaze that belonged to him met eyes, Gu Qingyou's brain instantly went blank.
