Shen Zhichu loved him wholeheartedly for sixteen years, yet she was asked to leave empty-handed, just to make room for the "white moonlight" in his heart.
Li Jingshen thought he would...
Chapter 988 Gong Qing is also looking for her
Li Jinxing seemed to have been freed from his inner worries. With Mrs. Liu's care and companionship, he no longer hid in the darkness. He drew back the curtains and opened the windows to let in some fresh air. With the fresh air, the smell of alcohol in the room was diluted and dispersed, and the whole room seemed to have been "reborn."
Mrs. Liu cooked him a bowl of sobering soup. After drinking it, he lay down on the sofa and took a nap. He slept until the evening. When he woke up, Mrs. Liu had already prepared dinner. Considering that he drank too much, she made him stomach-warming porridge with milk, some vegetables and lean meat.
Li Jinxing had no appetite, so he drank one bowl and put it down.
"Mrs. Liu, you don't have to stay here anymore. Just leave if you want." He already knew that no matter how long he kept Mrs. Liu here, he would not be able to lure Gu Wanqiu out.
"I don't want to leave yet. I want to wait with you for news of Miss Gu's return. Only when I'm sure she's safe can I rest assured."
She didn't want to leave now, and Li Jinxing wouldn't drive her away. After spending a few days together, he knew that Mrs. Liu was kind-hearted, and he gradually understood why Gu Wanqiu trusted her so much and bought her a huge insurance policy when she left.
Mrs. Liu already knew the passwords to the inside and outside of the house, but Li Jinxing still gave her a key: "You can leave the event at any time in the future. When you want to leave one day, just return the key to me."
"I will definitely keep this key."
Mrs. Liu stared at Li Jinxing's left hand. She didn't know how Li Jinxing's hand was injured, but she was glad that the injury was on his left hand. If it was on his right hand, it would be inconvenient for him to eat.
"Mr. Li, is your left hand injury okay? How did it happen? Do you want to go to the hospital and get a tetanus shot?"
"No, it's all right now."
The more Mrs. Liu looked at him, the more she felt that he didn't look alright. She asked tentatively, "How about I give you a simple treatment?"
Li Jinxing refused. This was a minor injury for him and did not require bandaging. It was no longer bleeding. As long as he paid attention to waterproofing and applied medicine regularly, it would heal quickly. However, the injury was on his hand and it was impossible to avoid contact with water.
Mrs. Liu didn't ask too much, so Li Jinxing stood up and said, "I'm going back to the study to work. I'll tell you once I have any news about Gu Wanqiu."
"good."
Li Jinxing went upstairs. He was still a little weak. The alcohol in his body had not completely dissipated. He was staggering when he walked, and his knees were extremely weak when he climbed the stairs. If he hadn't held the railing with his hands, he would definitely fall down the stairs.
After finally getting upstairs, he was already covered in sweat and his face was sickly red. He went into the study, but in his current state he couldn't work at all.
He called Zhou Yi and asked him if there was any new news about Gu Wanqiu today.
The answer is no.
He also knew that finding someone would take more than a day or two, not to mention that Gu Wanqiu had been shipwrecked and disappeared at sea. It would be like looking for a needle in a haystack to get any news about her.
"Okay, I understand..."
"Boss Li, there's something I don't know whether I should tell you."
"Is it important?"
"Not important."
Since he didn't know whether he should say it or not and it was not an important matter, Li Jinxing wanted him to shut up and hang up the phone.
But now, as soon as he calmed down, he couldn't help thinking of Gu Wanqiu, and thinking of that dream, the way she floated on the sea.
Li Jinxing needed to do something else to distract himself temporarily.
"Tell me, what's the matter."
"Boss Li, besides us looking for Miss Gu, there is another group of people looking for her as well."
"who?"
"Gong Qing of the Gong family."
Li Jinxing fell silent for a moment. When he suddenly heard this name that had not appeared for a long time, he was stunned and did not react immediately.
The last time we met was last year. Time flies.
I didn’t expect that Gong Qing would appear again. I don’t know what the current situation of the Gong family is.
Zhou Yi asked: "Should we care?"
"Don't worry about it. More people looking will just be more helpers. Continue to arrange for people to search and add more manpower."
"yes."
After hanging up the phone, Li Jinxing turned on the computer and started looking for Gong Qing's information.
Gong Qing was once the person Gu Wanqiu liked. When they were abroad, Gu Wanqiu and Gong Qing almost got together.
Gong Qing was the person Gu Wanqiu liked when she was young but could not get him, so Gu Wanqiu treated him as a substitute and became Gong Qing's stand-in.
If Gong Qing hadn't suddenly appeared and seen the red mole at the corner of his eye, he would have been kept in the dark his entire life.
When he maliciously targeted the Gong family, he could no longer tell whether he was more jealous of Gong Qing or hated Gu Wanqiu more.
After Gu Wanqiu reluctantly returned to China with Gong Qingxin for his sake, he never asked about the affairs of the Gong family again. After a year, he had no idea what had become of the Gong family abroad.
After investigating, a lot of information was found. Looking at the densely packed words, Li Jinxing felt a headache. This was the aftereffect of drinking too much.
Li Jinxing drank a glass of cold water, forced himself to stay alert, and finished reading it bit by bit.
The Gong family has changed a lot. No...it should be Gong Qing who has changed a lot.
