As Qin Yumei recalled Su Xiao's performance today, her smile became even more genuine and satisfied.
"Okay." With a goal and belief, she is slowly recovering. Before, she was also a cheerful and lively girl.
Seeing this, Old Master Qin's impression of Su Xiao improved even more.
The next morning, Old Master Qin dismissed everyone in the family and sat alone waiting for Gu Tingjiang.
At this time, Gu Tingjiang had also arrived at the guesthouse.
"Comrade Su, I've come to take you to see someone."
"Who? The Gu family?" Liu Cuihua had been feeling terrible these past few days. Su Peipei made her stay in the guesthouse every day, while she herself went out and had a great time, which had caused her a lot of trouble. Now, she really wanted to go out and have some fun.
"Let's go." Gu Tingjiang didn't answer her, but reached out to help Su Peipei carry a bag and got into the car.
As the car drove into the compound, Su Peipei's heart skipped a beat; the compound was not a place that just anyone could enter.
The Gu family was not in the compound either.
Upon arriving at the Qin family's residence, the group went to the living room.
"You've arrived, please have a seat." Old Master Qin was sitting on the sofa brewing tea when he saw them and invited them to sit down.
"Dad," Gu Tingjiang introduced them, "this is Comrade Su Peipei, and this is her adoptive mother, Comrade Liu Cuihua."
When Su Peipei saw Old Master Qin, she was completely stunned. He, he…
She recognizes it; she saw it on TV all the time after television became widespread.
"Hello, Mr. Qin." Subconsciously, she bowed deeply.
"Oh? You know me?" Old Master Qin raised an eyebrow, his smile not reaching his eyes.
"Huh?" Su Peipei woke up with a start, her eyes slightly open, her pupils unfocused, and she stammered, "No? No."
"Don't rush, sit down and have some tea." Old Master Qin pushed a cup of tea in front of her.
Looking at her face reflected in the teacup, Su Peipei finally calmed down a bit. She closed her eyes briefly, then opened them again, the panic and confusion from before gone.
"Mr. Qin, I have seen you in the newspaper. I was really rude just now. I apologize." Su Peipei quickly came up with another excuse.
"Is that so?" Old Master Qin smiled noncommittally. "That's truly my honor. Please sit down, don't be shy, make yourself at home."
Ever since Liu Cuihua entered the Qin family, her eyes have never stopped darting around, never stopping.
"Peipei, may I take a look at your jade pendant?" Old Master Qin looked at Su Peipei and got straight to the point.
Su Peipei was a little flustered, "Okay."
Her jade pendant was obviously fake; she had simply found a jade plaque and had it recarved. She wore that pendant her whole life and knew its patterns inside and out; she could draw the patterns with her eyes closed.
Old Master Qin took the jade pendant, and the moment he touched it, he knew it was fake. However, the pattern on the pendant was indeed correct.
That's strange.
"Comrade Liu, where did you find the child?" Old Master Qin examined the jade pendant, his sharp gaze fixed on Liu Cuihua.
Liu Cuihua was so frightened by his gaze that her mind went blank. "Yes, yes..."
"Mom," Su Peipei suddenly spoke, handing her the tea in front of her, "Have some tea to calm down, don't be nervous."
Liu Cuihua took the tea and drank a sip, finally calming down. When she answered Old Master Qin's question again, her words were clear and coherent.
"I heard the child crying in the hospital corridor. I went over out of curiosity and saw her. Oh my, the child was so pitiful. Her little face was turning blue from crying. I immediately picked her up and took her home."
