Episode 441 Endocrinology

Gui Qing knew since her student days that marriage and love are not the same thing. She is not a non-marriageist, but she will not get married or divorced easily.

The experience learned from Yan Zhici and Gui Yan is that if two people have many disagreements before marriage, nothing will change after marriage. It is unrealistic to expect the other party to change for the sake of the marriage after marriage.

That's why she set a time limit. If Jiang Yuxu can make a breakthrough during this period, she will officially confirm the relationship with him. If not, it doesn't matter. Love has never been everything in her life.

Although she likes him now, she can't forget him either. She won't be sad about these things.

As for why she didn't tell Jiang Yuxu about these ideas, Gui Qing also had her own considerations - people always pretend to solve the current problems, and she didn't want this kind of effect of only treating the symptoms and not the root cause.

"Well, I'm not worried about you." Yan Zhici nodded, trusting Gui Qing very much. "Mom knows you can handle things."

——

Gui Qing had her fill at Jiang Yuxu's place, chatted with Yan Zhici and Xie Yuan downstairs for a while, and then returned to her room.

After a quick shower, Gui Qing lay down in the quilt.

Today is quite tiring. I played tennis for several hours in the morning and had a big fight with Jiang Yuxu in the afternoon. I can't make up for it if I don't sleep for ten hours tonight.

Gui Qing lay down and glanced at her phone out of habit, and found several unread messages on WeChat.

There are those with Jiang Yuxu and those with Tao Jiu.

The top one is from Jiang Yuxu, sent ten minutes ago, asking if she's back.

Gui Qing replied: [Ready to go to bed, good night.]

Jiang Yuxu replied immediately: [Have a good rest, are you going out tomorrow? ]

Gui Qing: [Don’t go out, go to sleep.]

Jiang Yuxu: [Well, good night.]

At this point, Gui Qing did not reply to him.

Afterwards, she opened Tao Jiu's dialog box. There were quite a few unread messages on Tao Jiu's side. The first one was sent twenty minutes ago, asking what happened after she and Jiang Yuxu left. Because she didn't reply, Tao Jiu asked again if they were fighting fiercely.

Gui Qing quoted this message and replied: [The fierce battle is over, I'm going home.]

Tao Jiu: [Damn, was the fight really intense?]

Tao Jiu: [Don't tell me you two have been fighting since this afternoon.]

Gui Qing: [That's an exaggeration. It's only about three hours.]

Tao Jiu: [Over three hours isn't that an exaggeration? Jiang Yuxu is already in his thirties, and men his age usually last three minutes.]

Gui Qing: [Then he is above average.]

Tao Jiu: [So, are you okay? ]

Gui Qing: [I'm so tired, I'm about to fall apart. I plan to lie down all day tomorrow.]

Tao Jiu: [Jiang Yuxu is faking his migraine, right? Who among the good guys can be so aggressive even with a migraine?]

Gui Qing: [I guess so.]

Tao Jiu: [Then why did you send him up there? Just pamper him.]

Gui Qing: [My period hasn't come yet this month, I need to regulate my endocrine system.]

Tao Jiu: [Puff.]

——

The next day, Gui Qing really lay at home for the whole day.

When I went downstairs to eat in the morning, my calves felt like they were filled with lead and my waist was so painful that I couldn't straighten up. After eating, I went to the bathroom and found that my period, which had been delayed for almost ten days, had come.

No wonder I'm so tired today.

Gui Qing changed her clothes, lay back on the bed with peace of mind, and fell asleep again after a while.

When I have my period, I feel lazy and sleepy, and I can never get enough sleep.

Gui Qing only had breakfast that day. He did nothing except sleeping and going to the bathroom, and he didn't even look at his cell phone.

I slept like this until the next day and had most of my energy restored.

When Gui Qing arrived at the law firm, Jiang Yuxu was not there. She heard from her colleagues that he had gone to court.

Gui Qing then remembered that Shen’s case was going to court today, and there seemed to be a live broadcast?

Gui Qing returned to his workstation, opened his phone and searched, and actually saw the live broadcast - the Shen case was very well-known, involving a large scope, and was quite typical, with high social attention, so the authorities had been announcing the progress of the investigation.

In order to make the case more transparent, an online live broadcast channel was opened during the trial.

The court opens at nine o'clock sharp, and people are arriving one after another.

Gui Qing had just turned on the live broadcast when she saw Jiang Yuxu. He was wearing a dark gray suit and holding a briefcase. He came with Shen Zheng, and the two were probably discussing the case.

Jiang Yuxu's expression was solemn and calm, and he spoke methodically to Shen Zheng beside him.

You know what, this look is quite charming.

Jiang Yuxu now takes on very few cases in court. This is the first time Gui Qing has seen him in court. It is no exaggeration to describe him as sparkling.

Everyone arrived one after another, and the trial officially began at nine o'clock.

The Shen family's affairs had been making a lot of headlines in the news a while ago, and Gui Qing had heard about it to some extent, but she was not interested in the struggles among these wealthy families.

Others watched the live broadcast of the trial to see what would happen to Chen Xun, but she watched it simply to see Jiang Yuxu.

It just so happens that I’m not too busy at work this morning, so I can take a break and fish.

Jiang Yuxu was the plaintiff's attorney, and it was his turn to speak shortly after the court session began.

Gui Qing leaned his phone against the stand, drank his coffee and admired the close-up shot of the camera.

Tsk tsk tsk.

Gui Qing was so engrossed in watching that her attention was focused on the phone screen that she didn't even hear the knock on the door.

Lin Di came to deliver system data to Gui Qing. She usually knocked on the door before coming in, and she did the same today.

As soon as Lin Di entered the office, he saw Gui Qing staring at the computer screen with great concentration.

She subconsciously slowed down her pace, stopped in front of the desk and put down the documents.

"Ah——" Gui Qing suddenly screamed as Lin Di put down the documents.

Bang.

The stand fell over and the phone fell with it.

Lindy was startled.

"You scared me to death." Gui Qing covered her chest and looked up at Lin Di, "Why didn't you knock before coming in?"

Lindy felt wronged: "I knocked on your door, maybe you're too busy at work..."

Just as he said this, Lindy suddenly caught sight of the cell phone on the desk.

At this moment, the screen was showing a close-up shot of Jiang Yuxu's speech.

Lin Di's expression suddenly changed, as if he had suddenly realized something - so Gui Qing was not concentrating on her work just now, but was too engrossed in watching the live broadcast of Jiang Yuxu's lawsuit?

Good job.

Gui Qing saw Lin Di staring at the phone, but she didn't feel embarrassed. She picked up the phone calmly and put it back on the stand.

Lin Di casually said, "Qing Gong, you should also watch Lawyer Jiang's lawsuit. It's on screen in the conference room. Lawyer Jiang looks so handsome when he's suing."

Gui Qing didn't respond. She picked up the document on the table and looked at it. "Has the new round of testing in the lab finished?"

Lin Di: "Yes, Mr. Lin said there are no problems. It will be online after a few more reviews. Next we have to prepare for the press conference and publicity."

Gui Qing: "Okay, you start contacting the media this week, and I'll talk to the PR department at headquarters to confirm the venue."

Lindy nodded.

The work talk was over, but she showed no sign of leaving. She coughed several times and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Gui Qing: "Any more questions?"

Lin Di: "Qing Gong, you seem to be getting along well with Jiang Lu recently?"
