Gu Qingyou did not deliberately avoid Jiang Jun, but Jiang Jun obviously knew that she would not be willing to interact with him tonight. Thus, Jiang Jun sat on the sofa in her room, looking at the documents that she had yet to see during the daytime, and did not go to bed even late at night.
Gu Qingyou closed her eyes and laid on her side on the bed, allowing her tears to fall soundlessly.
That night, Gu Qingyou did not know whether or not Jiang Jun had returned to sleep on the bed. When she woke up, Jiang Jun was already dressed.
Seeing Gu Qingyou's movement from the mirror, Jiang Jun turned her head to look at Gu Qingyou, "Are you sure you won't come with me to London?"
With her back facing Jiang Jun, Gu Qingyou said in a calm voice, "I wish to accompany Mu Mu for the past two days."
Jiang Jun looked at Gu Qingyou's thin figure. Even with her back facing him, her body was still slightly curled up, as if she had no sense of security.
The deep gaze stopped on Gu Qingyou's body for a long while, then Jiang Jun shifted his gaze away.
Gu Qingyou looked at the wedding photo between her and Jiang Jun on the bedside table for a long time, and her eyes gradually grew dull.
Before Jiang Jun left, she sat on the side of the bed.
Gu Qingyou still did not look back as the clear and cold smell of his bath permeated her nose.
Jiang Jun stared at Gu Qingyou. Half of her back was wrapped in silk cloth and she was wearing silk pajamas, making her look even thi er and thi er. He lightly said, "I will apologize to you once again for the past."
A deep pain swept through her heart, Gu Qingyou blankly closed her eyes.
"Jiang Jun waited for a long time, but before she could hear a response from Gu Qingyou, he leaned over and kissed her on the shoulder. I'll be back in London as soon as I'm done." he said, looking deeply at her as he slowly left her shoulder.
"I know." Although Gu Qingyou answered him, her shoulders were stiff.
Jiang Jun could naturally see the reaction in her body. He looked at her for a moment, then left the bed, picked up the suit jacket that was placed on the sofa, and walked out of the room.
When Gu Qingyou clearly heard the sound of the door closing, she slowly turned around and looked at the ceiling.
When Gu Qingyou came down from the second floor, Mu Mu was in the dining hall eating breakfast. Gu Qingyou was about to go to the sofa to wait for the child, but Mrs Jiang had already walked over from the dining hall to stand in front of her.
"Why don't you go in for breakfast?" The Mrs Jiang asked with concern.
Gu Qingyou shook her head, "I don't really want to eat in the morning."
Mrs Jiang sighed lightly, "It's fine if you are angry with Jun Er, but don't ruin your body... Eat more breakfast! "
Gu Qingyou could not bear for the old lady to trouble herself anymore. After a few seconds, she nodded.
Mrs Jiang heaved a sigh of relief and pulled Gu Qingyou into the dining hall.
After personally watching Mu Mu enter the kindergarten, Gu Qingyou then returned to the car, and her phone suddenly rang.
Seeing that the phone's screen displayed the words "empty number", Gu Qingyou instantly thought of the person who had called him.
Calmly, she pressed the answer button.
"Elder Brother Sheng."
It was indeed Sheng Jingchuan on the other side, he was rather pleased that Gu Qingyou knew it was him. With a deep and steady voice, he said gently, "I used this' empty account number 'to call you. Jiang Jun's people were unable to track him down. Have you made up your mind? "
Gu Qingyou leaned back in her chair and looked out of the window.
"I'm sorry, Elder Brother Sheng, I still want to stay in C City." she said slowly.
Sheng Jingchuan stared blankly at the phone for a long time.
Gu Qingyou took a deep breath, "I can't just leave like I did three years ago. There are too many things in C City that I can't let go of."
Sheng Jingchuan said hoarsely, "If you are not at ease with Mu Mu, we can definitely plan for you to bring Mu Mu with you and leave this place together??"
"Not only Mu Mu, there are also a lot of other people that I can't let go of?? And, I'm tired, I want to live a peaceful life." Gu Qingyou heaved a sigh of relief.
"But if you continue to stay by Jiang Jun's side, you will only feel more and more pain??"
"I won't." Gu Qingyou stared indifferently at the scenery outside the window, her expression still as calm as ever. If she did not love her, how could she suffer? As long as a person does not persevere, they will naturally be happy."
"Quiet??"
"Elder Brother Sheng." "Gu Qingyou took over Sheng Jingchuan's words. Please let me live a quiet and peaceful life from now on... I'm really tired."
The words that Sheng Jingchuan wanted to say were instantly stuck in his throat.
After a long period of silence, Sheng Jingchuan spoke up in a low voice, "If this is your choice, then I can only respect you??"
Gu Qingyou smiled slightly, "No matter what, I have to thank you for your concern all this time."
Sheng Jingchuan did not reply for a long time, and in the end, the call silently ended.
Only then did Gu Qingyou slowly put down the phone from her ear, and continued to stare outside the window.
"Why are there so many?"
As Gu Qingyou unintentionally caught sight of a long queue outside a tall building on the other side of the street, she asked Uncle Ying.
The Uncle Ying who was focused on driving swept his gaze over it, and said with a smile, "Young Madam, that is' righteous' Bar?? There are so many legal practitioners coming to apply for the position because of the recruitment of lawyers today."
"'Center' Bar?" Gu Qingyou asked curiously, "Is this Bar really that strong? So many lawyers have come to apply."
Uncle Ying replied, "Young madam, you might not know this after staying in London for a few years. Oh, it should be said that it is China's strongest Bar. They don't take foreign cases, they only take Chinese ones, the commissions are very high for the rich and very low for the poor, and as long as they take a case, they have never lost. They advocate justice and never take cases of conscience for money."
"Oh?" "Gu Qingyou, who hadn't smiled for the past few days, finally revealed a natural smile. I never thought that City C already has such a powerful Bar after I left for a few years, and this Bar is filled with a sense of justice."
The Uncle Ying nodded, "That's why all the lawyers from all over the world are gathered here, hoping to become one of them?? It's just like how even the white collar workers in C City would wish to enter the Jiang??s Group."
Gu Qingyou looked at the dragons in front of him, suddenly, a thought flashed across her mind, and she quickly said: "Uncle Ying, turn around and go to the other side and put me down!"
Uncle Ying immediately slowed down the throttle and asked, "Young Mistress, what are you going to do over there?"
Gu Qingyou answered with a trace of joy, "Yes."
London.
The moment she got off the plane, Jiang Jun had the urge to call Gu Qingyou, but because it was still late at night in C City, Jiang Jun did not make a call.
At that moment, even Jiang Jun herself did not understand that before she even entered the celebration di er, she actually wanted to talk to Gu Qingyou once.
Standing in the hotel's VIP lounge, Jiang Jun dialed Gu Qingyou's cell number.
It was daytime now, so Gu Qingyou would call him occasionally, unless she did not want to.
"Hey??"
When the familiar voice of a child entered his ear, Jiang Jun's deep eyes instantly began to show boundless love, and his father's affectionate voice rang out, "Mu Mu."
"It's father's??" Mu Mu was overjoyed, "Daddy, are you going to call Mommy?"
"Are you good?" Jiang Jun asked.
"Yes, I listened to Mommy and Grandma and Grandpa, but there were quite a few children who caught a bad cold in the kindergarten today. The teacher let all the children take a day off, so I didn't go to school." Mu Mu reported truthfully that his sensible voice made people fall in love with him.
Jiang Jun started to laugh lightly, "With a little kid here, I can slack off for another day??"
Mu Mu muttered softly, "Daddy, I like to go to school, it's just that I know all the teachings of a teacher, so I don't want to go to school??"
"To go to school, not only do you have to learn how to communicate with others, but you also have to learn how to communicate with others. This way, you will have many friends in the future." Jiang Jun said patiently.
"Daddy, I know." Mu Mu replied obediently.
Jiang Jun nodded with gratitude, "Oh yes, where's Mommy?"
"Mommy is writing her 'homework'..."
Jiang Jun frowned, "Job?"
"That's right, Mommy said that she had to concentrate on completing the assignment due to some kind of Bar. That's why she didn't keep the phone by her side??"
Bar?
Could it be that she went to some Bar sect to apply?
When Jiang Jun was telling the truth in her heart, Mu Mu asked again, "Daddy, do you want me to give the phone number to Mommy?"
Jiang Jun regained her senses and said gently, "Since Mommy is focusing on her 'homework', then don't disturb her."
"Oh."
Jiang Jun ended the call after her son kissed him on the phone.
When going to the banquet site, Jiang Jun asked Ye Shuo who was behind him, "What has Madam been busy with these past two days?"
Gu Qingyou had always been the one making arrangements for people to protect Gu Qingyou, and those bodyguards would all reveal Gu Qingyou's whereabouts to Ye Shuo.
Ye Shuo did not hear the bodyguard's report that Gu Qingyou had made some unusual movements, so when Jiang Jun asked him this question, all the cells in her body immediately tightened up and she replied hesitantly, "Madam, you haven't gone out for the past two days?? "Oh, it's just that after my wife sent my young master to the kindergarten yesterday, she went to apply for 'Zhongzheng' Bar. But she only went there for a short while and returned before noon??"
"'Center' Bar?" Jiang Jun frowned, he was unfamiliar with industries that did not engage in business.
"Yes."
Thinking about how Gu Qingyou had mentioned long ago that she would like to continue practicing as a lawyer in the future, Jiang Jun's tightened eyebrows slowly relaxed as she asked, "Has the recruitment been successful?"
Ye Shuo answered, "About this?? Perhaps not yet. Lady Bi had waited a long time to be hired, and it was said that a strict examination was needed to get into 'Zhongzheng'. The outside world has said that only the Jiang??s Group s of 'Center' and 'Center' may not be able to enter C City."
Jiang Jun nodded and did not say anymore.
Ye Shuo was unable to figure out what Jiang Jun was thinking, she looked at Jiang Jun's expressionless face and asked softly: "Boss Jiang, if Madam wishes to go and work at Zhongzheng, can I try to greet the person in charge of Zhongzheng?"
Jiang Jun said calmly, "There's no need. With her personality, she would prefer to rely on her own ability to enter."
"Yes."
