For the next few days, Gu Jue avoided Lin Qingyu.

The feeling of having your lips burned like sausages was something Gu Jue only needed to experience once.

What's more, she had diarrhea after that day, and it lasted for several days.

Feeling completely weak, Lin Qingyu realized the seriousness of the problem and was so distressed that she couldn't sleep.

She stayed with Gu Jue day and night, waking up at the slightest disturbance.

And so, she only approached Lin Qingyu after Gu Jue had fully recovered.

Then, on that day, Gu Jue and Lin Qingyu both slept well.

Gu Shi has been busy these past few days. He had wasted a lot of time recently, and the bidding in Shanyuan City was also unsuccessful.

So Gu Shi was supposed to be busy those few days, but luckily he had a trustworthy brother.

As it was almost time to leave work, Gu Shi finished his tasks and prepared to go home on time to spend some time with Gu Jue.

I'll also bring something for Lin Qingyu.

Alright! Gu Shi mainly brought things for Lin Qingyu. These past few days, he disappeared as soon as he got off work, returning early to the staff dormitory at the back to be with Lin Qingyu and her daughter.

Gu Shi was getting ready to leave work as usual when Xiao Zhang rushed in in a hurry.

"Boss, don't leave yet! Take a look at today's headlines!"

He was holding a newspaper, and no one knew what he had been doing that morning.

"Will you show me today's newspaper this afternoon?"

Gu Shi was clearly getting impatient, and Xiao Zhang was sweating profusely. Of course, he knew that the boss left work on time every day.

He rushed over before he got off work today, so it would be strange if Gu Shi gave him a friendly look!

"No, boss, I looked at it this morning, but I didn't notice it at the time. I only realized it when I heard the workers talking in the factory!"

Xiao Zhang pointed to the headline of the newspaper and read it to Gu Shi word by word.

"The largest casino in Xinshi City was raided and shut down yesterday!"

Gu Shi snatched it away: "I can read, you don't need to read it!"

Xiao Zhang had made a fool of himself; he only wanted Gu Shi to read the newspaper, and how Gu Shi read it was up to him.

The headline content was quite simple, just about the casino that was raided yesterday.

Normally, if someone runs a casino, the owner must have a good relationship with the authorities, so the casino is not easily shut down.

At most, it would be a closure for rectification; this time, it seems more like the casino owner has offended someone.

However, such a simple headline shouldn't have made Xiao Zhang so flustered.

Gu Shi looked up at Xiao Zhang and gestured with his chin toward the newspaper, the meaning of which was quite clear.

Zhang Deyi quickly explained, "Boss, you don't know who's behind this casino, do you?"

Gu Shi remained silent, simply staring at him. Zhang Deyi, unfazed, stepped down from the platform.

"Speaking of which, you should know this boss. He's someone from Pear Blossom Village, or maybe Lotus Village?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Shi had an idea. He remained calm until Zhang Deyi finished telling him the inside story.

It turns out that those workers from today, somehow got the news and were secretly gossiping about it.

"It's said that the casino owner slept with... well, his wife!"

"No way! With that much money, what can't the casino owner find?"

"But why would the authorities suddenly crack down on this? My husband has won money there several times, several hundred yuan in total!"

Zhang Deyi relayed all such words to Gu Shi without missing a single one.

Moreover, he learned it quite well, but Gu Shi didn't care about that; he only asked one question.

"Which leader ordered the seizure?"

Zhang Deyi was at a loss: "Huh?"

He never expected that Gu Shi would only care about this! There's so much gossip going on here; he's not interested in anything else?

Gu Shi didn't expect him to know, so he simply got up, grabbed the things on the table, and was about to leave.

"Hey! Boss, don't be in such a hurry! I didn't say I didn't know!"

Gu Shi didn't even stop walking, and Zhang Deyi quickly caught up with him and said.

"I really know the boss! I heard he's a big shot with a lot of power, that's why nobody dares to stop him!"

Zhang Deyi kept talking and waving his hands as he chased after Gu Shi.

Even after Gu Shidu had walked out of the office building, he still hadn't revealed the leader's information.

"Boss, you're really leaving like that? I really know the inside story!"

This time, Gu Shi didn't even bother to look at him, and turned to walk towards the dormitory.

Lin Qingyu has been staying at home these past few days, not going out at all. She spends her days either reading or researching food, and occasionally sends some over to Gu Shi.

There was nothing wrong at the restaurant; apart from close family members, practically no one knew about Lin Qingyu.

She sat on the sofa as usual that day, holding a book in her hands and reading.

So engrossed in watching that Lin Qingyu didn't even notice Gu Shi walk in.

Gu Shi raised his hand, intending to greet her, but he had never noticed the book that Guo Lin Qingyu was reading.

He simply stood behind Lin Qingyu and glanced at her twice.

Unfortunately, the words on the book were too small for Gu Shi to see clearly. Just as he was about to bend down and get closer, Lin Qingyu noticed him.

"Hey! What are you doing standing here? You scared me to death!"

Lin Qingyu clasped her hands together, directly covering the book and preventing Gu Shi from peeping.

When Gu Shi saw how nervous Lin Qingyu was, he immediately felt that there was something wrong with the book.

"I called you several times when I got back, but you were too engrossed in your book, so it's not my fault!"

He waved his hands, looking innocent, which seemed completely out of place with his appearance.

Lin Qingyu coughed awkwardly twice: "Ahem! It's nothing, I was just telling a story, and it was so good that I got a little engrossed!"

As she spoke, she kept squeezing the book into the crack of the sofa, as if afraid that Gu Shi would ask more questions.

Lin Qingyu's heart was racing. The two remained silent for a while before noticing what Gu Shi was holding.

"Wow! Isn't this a stir-fry candy? I haven't seen this in ages!"

Gu Shi couldn't help but laugh as he watched her clumsy attempt to distract herself.

"Alright, alright, go ahead and eat! Where's Xiao Bei? Let her try some too, otherwise she'll only remember that you gave her spicy food!"

Lin Qingyu took a candy from Gu Shi, took a bite, and then laughed gleefully.

"Hahaha! Xiao Bei has almost forgotten about this. Xiao Bao is going to get scolded these next few days. He's always calling me a bad brother! That medicine is so bitter!"

Gu Shi hadn't noticed that Gu Jue was always quite well-behaved when drinking Chinese medicine.

It can be drunk down in a few gulps using a bamboo straw.

However, Lin Weidong would often be there to watch over her at this time, and as soon as she finished her medicine, he would immediately stuff a piece of White Rabbit candy into her mouth.

After Lin Qingyu finished speaking to Gu Shi, she sighed again.

"Sigh! I wonder if Xiao Bei will be spoiled! I've seen many kids in big cities who are spoiled by their families!"
