Chapter 962 Loach

"Pfft, pfft, pfft... Take that back. We're about to leave, don't say such unlucky things. You must come back safely. When you come back, I'll prepare some fresh dishes for you to try."

"Since you like cooking so much, you can actually open a small restaurant. It will definitely be very popular. You can name it Mom's Restaurant, or Mom's Taste."

Mrs. Liu is very good at cooking and likes to study various kinds of food. She said that cooking for others gives her a sense of accomplishment, especially when others sincerely exclaim that the food is delicious after eating it, she feels particularly satisfied.

Mrs. Liu had thought about making food before, but she couldn't afford to open a restaurant, so she could only push a food cart. But before she had time to prepare, she saw the job application sent out by Li Jinxing, so she went for the interview. She had originally wanted to give it a try, but she didn't expect to be successful.

Li Jinxing chose her because he had carefully checked her resume and saw the image of his mother in her. In addition, Mrs. Liu was indeed good at cleaning, so he felt at ease leaving the house to her. He often thought, if only someone could lend a helping hand to his mother at that time.

Mrs. Liu: "I don't need to cook for others. I will be very satisfied if I cook for you alone. So you must come back healthy."

Mrs. Liu had really said these words many times, but no matter how many times, Gu Wanqiu did not respond. She only told her that she would not be in danger if she went out.

"You should stay home and take good care of yourself. I'll give you money every month. Don't do yard work, we have dedicated staff. I'll also hire a cleaner for the house..."

"What kind of cleaning service are you hiring?" Gu Wanqiu was interrupted before she could finish her words. "If you pay for a cleaning service, what should I do? I was given this job to do this job, but you've already paid someone else to do it. Are you trying to get rid of me?"

Gu Wanqiu was speechless for a moment: "I won't drive you away." She actually didn't know how to please others. In her heart, she wanted to make Mrs. Liu as comfortable as possible and live a better life, but Mrs. Liu was not happy.

She also didn't understand why Mrs. Liu was unhappy about not being able to rest and not work?

Mrs. Liu just wants to feel at peace with herself. She is paid according to the salary and does as much as she can. If she is asked to do nothing, she will definitely feel uneasy.

"I just want you to relax a little. Just help me take care of it at home."

"I will definitely help you keep an eye on it. Besides, I have it pretty easy now. You still pay me so much. I would feel uncomfortable if I did nothing."

Gu Wanqiu also listened and said: "When you are bored, bring your daughter to live with you. It will be good to have someone to accompany you and live a good life."

"Yeah, I understand."

As they were talking, a car arrived, its lights flashing in the distance. Then, they got closer and closer, piercing through the darkness and shining onto Gu Wanqiu's face. She took a deep breath and took the suitcase handle from Mrs. Liu's hand: "I'm leaving."

Mrs. Liu wanted to cry again. She really couldn't bear to leave Gu Wanqiu.

The atmosphere of parting is always filled with sadness. It is the first time that Gu Wanqiu has experienced family love from someone else, so it is normal for her to feel reluctant to let go.

But she had to leave. If she didn't, she would be arrested and imprisoned by Li Jinxing, and she would never see Mrs. Liu again. Mrs. Liu might even be implicated.

Gu Wanqiu took two steps, then suddenly turned around and ran towards Mrs. Liu. She hugged Mrs. Liu tightly and said, "Can you call me Qiuqiu?"

Mrs. Liu choked up and said, "Qiuqiu."

"Well, take care of yourself. I'm leaving." After saying this, Gu Wanqiu strode away with her suitcase, not even turning her head back. She couldn't help but think, if she had met Mrs. Liu earlier, if she had known what this "love" was, if she had understood the importance of family earlier, would everything have changed? She might have helped Li Jinxing save his mother, and she and Li Jinxing might not have been involved in anything, and her father Gu Chaodong might not have died. And Steward Wang might still be around... She and Gong Qing might have had a pretty good future.

Nowadays, if you make a wrong move, the outcome is set in stone, and there is no room for regret.

Mrs. Liu stood in the shadows and watched Gu Wanqiu pulling the suitcase towards the car step by step. The light from the headlights was shining under her feet, and her shadow was stretched very long.

Mrs. Liu did not move, watching Gu Wanqiu's figure gradually disappear from the light into the darkness. She got into the car and the driver drove away, farther and farther away, until she could no longer see him, and then she withdrew her gaze.

As soon as this person left, I felt that the house was too big, empty, and my heart was empty too.

She wasn't sleepy even though she hadn't rested for a night. There were still pancakes, biscuits and dried fruits that looked a bit bad left in the kitchen.

These were enough for her to eat for a day. She and Gu Wanqiu had only been sitting at the same table for a few days. Now she was not used to it when she left. She subconsciously took more bowls and chopsticks, and subconsciously heated a cup of milk and called "Miss Gu" after she brought it out.

After waiting for a long time without receiving a response, I realized that the person had already left.

Mrs. Liu sat on the sofa in a daze, eating the biscuits in her hand alone. It was still early, not even six o'clock, and after eating, she cleaned up and washed the dishes.

I am usually very nimble with my hands, but today, for some reason, I broke a cup and cut my hand when I squatted down to pick it up.

Mrs. Liu is not superstitious, but she still feels subconsciously uneasy when she sees a cup broken early in the morning.

For some reason, after Gu Wanqiu left, she felt very panicked and always felt that something big was going to happen.

Maybe it's just a psychological effect, or it's because of the unlucky words Gu Wanqiu said before leaving.

She was just traveling, not going to war, so how could she not come back? Besides, Gu Wanqiu had promised her that she would be fine.

And Gu Wanqiu also said that we would only be playing for two or three months, and we would come back at the latest in late autumn after the hottest days passed, so there would be no accidents.

But accidents often happen suddenly and cannot be guaranteed.

Later, Mrs. Liu realized that this farewell was really the last one.

…

The news that Gu Wanqiu left at five o'clock did not reach Li Jinxing's ears until nine o'clock. Li Jinxing was subconsciously confused and could hardly restrain himself from arranging people to find Gu Wanqiu and bring her back.

Gu Wanqiu could always easily affect his emotions. She had already escaped once, and this was the second time!

Now is an emergency moment. If he really arranges people to chase Gu Wanqiu, it will definitely alert the enemy, which will be very disadvantageous to him.

Therefore, he could only let Gu Wanqiu leave for the time being.

According to the investigators, Gu Wanqiu was just traveling.

Travel? Oh, with so much time, yet he chose this very moment. Gu Wanqiu was very clever, like a loach in muddy water. If you didn't catch her firmly, she would slip away.
