Chapter 40

Gu Qingyou suddenly opened her eyes. Before she could even see what happened to Qu Liyuan, a man wearing a blue suit and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses walked in front of her.

Seeing that Gu Qingyou was safe and sound, An Yaru immediately ran to her side.

The man spoke respectfully. "I'm sorry, ma'am, but I just surprised you."

Thanks to her good memories, Gu Qingyou quickly recalled this person.

He seemed to be one of Ye Shuo's subordinates. At that time, when Jiang Jun had sent Ye Shuo to negotiate with her, she was by her side. At that time, she had a deep impression of his gold-rimmed glasses.

Gu Qingyou paused and asked softly, "You … Why are we here? "

"Assistant Ye said to explain it to you personally."

After saying that, the man dialed Ye Shuo's number.

Gu Qingyou was still unclear about the situation.

When the call connected, the man gave the phone to Gu Qingyou and retreated to the side.

Gu Qingyou hesitated for a moment, then placed the phone by her ear, "Hello?"

On the other end of the phone, Ye Shuo asked with concern, "Madam, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, why did you send people …"

"After Boss Jiang received your call, he immediately sent me to investigate your troubles … Originally, even those underworld people could be dealt with, but Boss Jiang was worried that Lady Qu would be troubled by this matter again in the future. She could only personally witness Lady Qu's true appearance, thus at the very last moment, I ordered Cui Hao to make his move. "

Gu Qingyou was slightly startled, "... You mean, the Boss Jiang knows my mother? "

Ye Shuo answered, "The last time Madam went to see Ms. Qu, Boss Jiang already knew about it."

"Last time …"

Gu Qingyou muttered. Suddenly, her heart sank and her slender fingers tightened on her phone.

Ever since Ye Shuo told her about the matter of there being a reporter waiting at the Jiang's Mansion entrance, she had always been confused — — That day when she went to see his mother, it seemed like there were no reporters following his, because no news about it had spread.

It had to be known that if the news of her meeting with her mother was caught by the reporters, it would definitely be a piece of news that would cause a huge uproar …

But from the looks of it, it was not that there were no reporters that day, but Jiang Jun had handled the matter, which was why the news did not leak out.

In other words, Jiang Jun already knew that she had a mother who had once made a mistake, sucked in poison, and loved to gamble?

Ye Shuo continued, "In a while, Cui Hao will send Ms. Qu to the police station in the name of gambling in the underground casino. In the short term, Ms. Qu will not be able to leave the prison."

Gu Qingyou lowered her eyes, "Then … That one million just now was given directly to the underworld? "

"Boss Jiang has said that if a million yuan can be exchanged for Madam to clearly see Ms. Qu's true appearance, it would be worth it." Ye Shuo answered truthfully.

At this moment, the softest string in the depths of Gu Qingyou's heart was plucked once. After a long time, she opened her mouth, "Boss Jiang, he … What is he doing now? "

"Boss Jiang is currently participating in the first bid to develop the 7-star hotel project in N Sea. The second bid will be in half a month."

"Oh, okay."

"Madam …" Do you have any other instructions? "

Realizing that Ye Shuo was asking her if he had any objections to his mother's treatment, Gu Qingyou looked at Qu Liyuan who was knocked out on the ground with a stick by Cui Hao's subordinate. After a long time, he gazed at that relaxed and haggard face of hers.

Ye Shuo said, "Then please pass the phone to Cui Hao Madam."

On the way home in An Yaru's car, Gu Qingyou quietly leaned back on the car seat and did not say a single word.

An Yaru saw through the rearview mirror that Gu Qingyou's face did not have much color left, and couldn't help but comfort her. Aunt Qu actually took your life for money, which means she never loved you as her daughter. From start to finish, she treated you as a tool to pay her debt … Such a crazy mother is not worth your suffering for her! "

Gu Qingyou's scattered gaze fell outside the window. The wind was blowing strongly, causing her eyes to turn dry, but she did not blink once. I know, I just need a little time to accept that... "Because I've always longed for a little bit of motherly love from her, if only just a little bit." She spoke softly, seemingly without sadness.

An Yaru's eyes that were looking at the road in front of him suddenly reddened, and she said in a hoarse voice, "Qingyou, God treats everyone fairly. It has given you pain and hardship now, and in the future, it will definitely give you happiness and happiness … God will not forget you. "

A teardrop flowed down from the corner of Gu Qingyou's left eye, slowly flowing down her flawless and fair face.

She rarely shed tears, even at the most difficult moment. However, at this moment, she wasn't able to control herself. She could only allow one drop to fall.

The wind, with its faint sand, hurt her tearstained cheeks, and her eyes were as hopeless as a desert.

"However, quiet … So it turns out that Boss Jiang isn't someone who cares about a trifling one million yuan. Thus, he actually didn't tell you that the one million yuan he gave you last time was an advance, right? " An Yaru suddenly changed the topic, in order to make Gu Qingyou's heart feel better, and of course it was also to satisfy her own curiosity.

Gu Qingyou swallowed the dryness in her throat and calmly replied, "Yes, last time I didn't want you to think too much about my relationship with him, so I didn't tell you the truth."

"It seems like Boss Jiang isn't as cold as what the rumors say. He seems to be pretty good to you …" An Yaru tested out his curiosity.

"He is very deep. It is very difficult for me to understand him. However, it is true that he treats me very well. Sometimes, when I offend him, he doesn't even bother with me." Gu Qingyou slowly spat out.

Hearing that, An Yaru's eyes lit up. Looking at Gu Qingyou who was in the rearview mirror, she giggled, "I'll take care of your little willfulness, I'll give you money and help you solve your problem … It seems like he really pampered you! "

"You have too much imagination. He and I only respect each other." Gu Qingyou replied indifferently.

"Alright, I won't blabber anymore. I know that's unlikely. After all, even if you were to ascend to the throne, it would still be disgraceful. Even more so, you wouldn't do such a thing. However, have you thought about …" An Yaru paused, "You have to handle this relationship carefully."

Gu Qingyou did not understand what An Yaru meant, and turned to look at her good friend.

An Yaru coughed, "I usually joke around with you, but I have to remind you. Since you know it's impossible between you and Boss Jiang, you have to guard your own heart well … Furthermore, you will be sleeping in the same bed with him every day, and he will treat you well. If this goes on, I am afraid that your feelings for him will unknowingly grow, and to be honest, if you fall in love with him, he is destined to never be with you. You will be in great pain in the future … "

Gu Qingyou, who had never thought of this question before, froze for a moment.
