Chapter 865 It’s better to stop thinking about it

Mrs. Gong asked the servants to clean up and the chef to cook early in the morning. After a busy morning, she finally had time to sit on the sofa and drink some hot tea.

When Mrs. Gong learned that Li Jinxing was coming, she felt uneasy. Recently, there were some problems in the Gong family's project, which required a large amount of funds to solve. Li Jinxing suddenly contacted her and asked her to trick someone to come to him on Gu Wanqiu's birthday, and he would help her solve the Gong family's predicament.

She felt guilty and uneasy towards Gu Wanqiu, but she still did it in the end. She even comforted herself that just letting Gu Wanqiu go for one night would save the Gong family from losing hundreds of millions, so this deal was not a loss.

Moreover, Gu Wanqiu and Li Jinxing have known each other for a long time. Li Jinxing was Gu Wanqiu's servant back then. The two grew up together, so Li Jinxing should not do anything to Gu Wanqiu.

With such a lucky mentality, Mrs. Gong did it. Only she and her husband knew about it, and her son was kept in the dark.

Gu Wanqiu always called her Aunt Zhou. Last year, Gu Wanqiu came here with them. She was in poor health and was often hospitalized. Gong Qing had always been with her. Mrs. Gong was also very good to her. When she was hospitalized, she often asked the chef to make soup, and she personally delivered it to the hospital.

Mrs. Gong liked Gu Wanqiu. Before the Gu family got into trouble, she even thought about letting Gong Qing marry Gu Wanqiu.

Now... the Gu family is gone. To put it bluntly, Gu Wanqiu is just a down-and-out lady. She has money, but without power, she can't help the Gong family, just like this time.

Yesterday, Gong Qing was happy to celebrate Gu Wanqiu's 19th birthday. The hotel had been decorated and he had personally selected the dishes, all of which were Gu Wanqiu's favorites.

However, he didn't expect that his mother handed him a glass of milk in the morning. He drank it and fell asleep until night. When he thought about celebrating Gu Wanqiu's birthday, it was already too late.

He was not stupid. After waking up with a groggy head, he immediately realized that there was something added to the glass of milk his mother handed him in the morning.

Why drug him?

Gong Qing didn't understand. They had clearly prepared to celebrate Gu Wanqiu's birthday, so why didn't they let him go?

Gong Qing couldn't guess what his mother was thinking. After thinking about it carefully, he found that Madam Gong had been in an abnormal mood these days. He spent all his extra thoughts on Gu Wanqiu every day, but ignored his mother. Now, the more he thought about it, the more he realized the seriousness of the matter.

It is very likely that something happened to Gu Wanqiu.

No matter how Gong Qing questioned her and asked her to tell him Gu Wanqiu's whereabouts, Madam Gong said nothing and just repeated one sentence.

"You and Gu Wanqiu are not destined to be together. Just forget about her. She won't be with you."

Gong Qing didn't believe what his mother said. What did "no fate" mean? Since God made him meet Gu Wanqiu, they were destined to be together. Moreover, he could feel that Gu Wanqiu liked him. How could they not be together if they loved each other?

It took him so long to let Gu Wanqiu slowly approach him and open her heart to him. Now that the most crucial step was about to come, why did his mother push Gu Wanqiu away with force?

Madam Gong couldn't stop Gong Qing from going to look for Gu Wanqiu, so Gong Qing searched outside all night, from dusk to dawn. He couldn't contact Gu Wanqiu and could only drive aimlessly looking for her. He went to all the places Gu Wanqiu could go, but there was still no trace of her.

He called the police, but the police from Country M were very slow to respond and their execution was particularly poor. At 11 o'clock in the morning, Gong Qing came back from outside, and his eyes were already bloodshot.

Seeing Gong Qing like this, Madam Gong felt distressed. If she had seen Gong Qing care so much about Gu Wanqiu a week ago, she would have softened her heart and agreed to let them be together.

But now... no, she had a hunch that if Gong Qing got too close to Gu Wanqiu, he would get into trouble, because Gu Wanqiu was the one Li Jinxing liked.

The current Li Jinxing is very different from the one he was a year ago. He is no longer the servant of the Gu family. He has a lot of money in China and power and authority to match it. The Gong family cannot afford to offend such a person, and now the Gong family has to rely on Li Jinxing to overcome this difficulty.

She hoped that Gong Qing would sacrifice the young for the greater good, hoped that he could understand her good intentions, and hoped that he would become more sensible around Gu Wanqiu.

But Gong Qing knelt down in front of her and begged her.

Faced with this, her son whom she had loved for twenty years and had never beaten or scolded, seeing him kneeling in front of her for a woman, Mrs. Gong felt distressed and anxious, but she really could not ignore him.

When she knew that Li Jinxing was going to bring Gu Wanqiu here today, Madam Gong was afraid that Gong Qing would be hurt and originally wanted to send him away. But seeing Gong Qing's reluctant look, Madam Gong hardened her heart and decided to let him take a good look at Gu Wanqiu and Li Jinxing together so that he would give up his thoughts about Gu Wanqiu.

"I've already contacted Wanqiu, and she'll be here soon. You stay home and wait for her with me and your dad."

Hearing her say that she had contacted Gu Wanqiu, Gong Qing stood up and immediately called Gu Wanqiu, but the phone was still turned off.

"You can't contact her. The only thing you can do now is to wait for her quietly at home. Believe in mom, she will show up, today."

There was no way, Gong Qing could only believe her. After a simple lunch, he followed his parents to the living room to wait for Gu Wanqiu.

Suddenly, the sound of a car engine was heard outside. Gong Qing's first reaction when a car came at this time was that Gu Wanqiu was coming. He stood up and found that Mrs. Gong was even faster than him.

"Gong Qing, remember, no matter what you see later, you must remain calm and quiet."

Gong Qing looked anxious: "Could something have happened to Wanqiu?"

Gong Qing had lost his composure before he even saw the person, which made Mrs. Gong not know what to do. Fortunately, her husband was by her side.

Mr. Gong held Gong Qing's shoulders and said, "Listen to your mother carefully. You should be sensible at this age. Don't let your feelings get in the way. Our family is facing a difficult situation this time. I don't ask you to solve it. It would be great if you could just watch quietly from the side."

Gong Qing's face paused, then he nodded. In fact, compared with his peers, he was mature enough. He was only about twenty years old, and his family did not have high expectations of him. But now he met Li Jinxing, who was also twenty years old. It was inevitable that they would be compared. The difference was too big.

Mr. Gong did not object to Gong Qing pursuing Gu Wanqiu, but the other party was Li Jinxing. Not to mention that he could not beat her, even if it was him, he would not be able to beat her. It would be better to give up this unrealistic idea as soon as possible.

Seeing that Gong Qing had calmed down, the couple set off, taking him out to meet someone. When they arrived at the door, they saw a luxury car parked outside. The driver had just gotten out of the car, stood in the back seat, and reached out to open the door...
