How painful it must be for a child to hear such words.
“Actually, Xiao Tiao used to be quite well-behaved. If she had stayed with good people, her future would have been bright. But if she had stayed with bad parents, she might never have a future.” Lan Yuchu heard that many of her comrades’ children had not fared well after being adopted by families.
The daughter was sold early on, and the son had to do hard labor for the family to earn work points. The adoption was just for a little money.
Lin Qiyue had read many novels like this. Many people were driven by self-interest and wouldn't have much sincerity towards children who weren't their own, unless they genuinely wanted and liked children.
"By the way, Professor Lu read the article Brother Li sent and thought it was very good. He agreed to let Brother Li be his assistant. We'll call Brother Li this afternoon. You can also talk to Qiu Ning while you're at it." Lan Yuchu thought to herself that she had run into Lu Lishu when she went grocery shopping today. He was staying at the guesthouse recently and was cooking for himself.
He looks much healthier these days, and he's more energetic than before.
"Really?" Lin Qiyue was thrilled when she heard that.
"Mm," Lan Yuchu nodded.
Lan Yuchu added, "The professor replied to Brother Li yesterday, saying that he would formally invite him to visit after Brother Li returned to Pingcheng and Pingda University. However, it may still take some time."
"I know that when Professor Lu returns to the university, he will definitely need to make some changes and adapt." At that time, the university had very few students and very few teachers.
He will probably need to put in a lot of effort to get back.
However, someone as talented as Brother Li should be able to make a name for himself.
“Brother Li took your advice a while ago and wrote a few articles, which made him a lot of money. He called to thank you before, but I forgot to tell you.”
He finished dealing with Shen Qingmiao's matter.
“Brother Li is actually very talented, but after his legs became weak, he became self-conscious and depressed! He must be working so hard because he doesn’t want Qiu Ning to feel wronged, which is good.” Lin Qiyue knew that Li Shuan, who seemed quiet and reserved, was once the pride of his family and a high school graduate.
"He must be very talented," she thought to herself, encouraging Li Shuan to continue his studies. She suggested that the college entrance examination might be reinstated in the future, and during that time, he could submit more articles or literary manuscripts. This would be a way to ensure that his knowledge was not buried, and if he had good writing skills, he could even earn money from his writing.
"Yes, that's what I said on the phone too." When Lan Yuchu first met Li Shuan, he was a very gentle and learned man. At that time, he was already a respected clerk in the village, but then that happened and he never recovered.
When Lin Qiyue heard Lan Yuchu mention Professor Lu, she remembered the investigation she had been asked to conduct before.
"Honey, how's the investigation going with Uncle Lu's child?" Lin Qiyue asked, staring at Lan Yuchu.
"There's some progress, but I'm still waiting." He's waiting for a phone call; once that call confirms it, everything will be clear.
The person on the phone said that the investigation would take some time, and given Lu Lishu's problematic background and the obstruction he had been caused by some malicious individuals, he needed to be even more careful.
"Oh, okay." Seeing that Lan Yuchu didn't seem very interested in this topic and her expression wasn't very expressive, Lin Qiyue didn't ask any further questions.
Then, after finishing the meal, clean up the mess.
Lan Yuchu then took Lin Qiyue to the communications room to make a phone call.
The call connected via a community phone. The old man on the other end said that Gu Qiuning and Li Shuan had gone out to buy groceries and would be back in a few minutes, and then asked him to call back.
The two waited for almost ten minutes, and it looked like they were about to leave.
The phone rang at that moment.
"Hey~"
Lan Yuchu answered the phone first.
“Yu Chu, it’s me, Li Shuan.” Upon hearing Lan Yu Chu’s voice, Li Shuan’s tone was filled with joy as he looked at his happy wife beside him.
Gu Qiuning wanted to talk to Lin Qiyue, but he wasn't sure if Lin Qiyue was with Lan Yuchu: "Yuchu, Qiuning wants to talk to Qiyue. Is Qiyue with you?"
Lan Yuchu glanced at Lin Qiyue, then said to Li Shuan on the phone, "Okay, I'll let her answer the phone."
He held the phone to Lin Qiyue's ear and explained, "Qiu Ning wants to talk to you."
"Sister July." A moment later, after a rustling sound, Gu Qiuning's voice was filled with excitement.
Lin Qiyue was delighted to hear her voice and, feeling touched by her joy, quickly replied, "Qiu Ning, congratulations!"
"Sister July, thank you." Gu Qiuning looked at Li Shuan with genuine shyness.
Li Shuan stared at Gu Qiuning's shy expression and smiled as well.
"Qiu Ning, I heard you married Brother Li Shuan. How is it going?" The two came from different backgrounds, and their love couldn't last. I wonder how Qiu Ning is doing after marrying him.
Hearing such concern, Qiu Ning first looked at her husband, Li Shuan, then smiled slightly and said to Lin Qiyue on the phone, "We are doing well, and Brother Li is very good to me too."
Every day when she came home, Li Shuan would prepare meals for her and take meticulous care of her, never scolding her for doing anything wrong.
"Sister July, we didn't have a big wedding banquet. We just had a simple meal at the two families' house and invited our colleagues from the surrounding area to have a meal at our house in the city. Also, Sister July, didn't you send me two bottles of the beauty cream you made? I used it and thought it was good, so I gave it to Li Xia. Her skin became a shade lighter. Everyone wants to know where to buy this beauty cream. Many friends also want to buy it."
Gu Qiuning's skin has become rosy and tender ever since she applied that beauty cream.
