Chapter 368 Loss of Power in Old Age
Gao Yan said it was pieced together from various sources, and she knew her daughter had done something foolish. Not hearing Gu Qing forgive her, she turned to look at Gu Qing with a loving smile.
"Qingqing! Your younger sister is young and impulsive, and easily fooled. Please don't take it to heart."
Don't worry, I'll give her a good talking to when we get back. After all, she's Xiaoyu's younger sister, and we'll be seeing each other again in the future. This isn't the place to talk. I'll make her apologize to you when we get back."
"There's no need for an apology. After all, as you said, they're not strangers. But my sister is getting on in years, so Mother should still guide her more."
Gu Qing looked somewhat helpless.
"Also, I'd like to trouble you. Please tell Chairman Tang that I'm heading back now. These clothes aren't appropriate here."
Gu Qing glanced down at the fabric on one of her arms, which had turned a deep red from the liquid.
"The banquet will be a while later. I have prepared spare dresses and a stylist here. Why don't you go to the lounge to change first?"
After all, the president really admires you and might want to see you soon.
They still had things to discuss, so they didn't want Gu Qing to leave so soon. "I've already spoken with President Ya'er, and the banquet won't last much longer."
So I didn't stay any longer.
Gu Qing was about to leave when she was stopped again. "Look at you, what's the rush? Xiao Yu and I haven't seen each other for a long time. Stay a little longer so that we can catch up."
After she said that, Gu Qing really couldn't refuse in front of so many people, but Lou Xiaoyu's feelings towards this mother were somewhat complicated.
She had some illusions before, but now she feels more annoyed, so when Gao Yan mentions the mother-son relationship, her rebuttal comes out without hesitation.
“You love me so much, but when I got married, you didn’t give me much dowry. You also tried to use me to do favors in exchange for benefits time and time again.”
Gu Qing grabbed his hand as he spoke his first sentence, so he had to grit his teeth and lower his voice to say the second half.
Gao Yan was naturally unhappy to hear this, but despite her cold gaze, she still had to put on a smile, since there were quite a few people watching them.
Gu Qing smiled and smoothed things over, "Mother, don't take it to heart. He just wants your love too much, so he always throws little tantrums. But I'll talk to him when I get home."
If you have time, you are welcome to visit my home often. If the mother and son keep in touch frequently, their relationship will naturally deepen.
But it's really late now, and the kids are still at home. They won't go to sleep until they see me. So, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you this time, Mom.
After Gu Qing finished speaking, Youzi nodded to him, affirming his words, and then left with his men.
When she ran into someone she knew on the street, she simply waved the smart device in her hand slightly, indicating that she would contact them later, and left without even stopping.
Once they were in the car, Qi Bai quickly asked, "Is Qingqing hurt?"
Gu Qing took off his wide-sleeved outer garment. "No, I'm still physically strong. But I suspect it was Gao Yan who leaked the information."
Yan Anli carefully folded her clothes and said, "Hmm, this is very likely."
"What is she doing? How can she be so careless? I remember when I was little, every time I saw her, she was fighting for the rights of purifiers. Now, there are four articles in the Purifier Rights Law that she once proposed."
Although she didn't care much about me back then, I didn't dislike her.
I also particularly enjoy watching the clusters of flames burning in the eyes; a feeling of admiration unconsciously arises in my heart.
Lou Xiaoyu knew that Gu Qing and the others' analysis was highly likely, so she felt very upset. He was Gao Yan's son, born when Gao Yan was 231 years old.
Even in rare cases of viviparous birth, the babies were still loved and cared for, but after the age of six, they were taken back to their families for education.
Gu Qing looked at the scenery rushing past outside and said softly, "It's probably the passage of time that's so tough! A Purifier's abilities deteriorate very quickly. Gao Yan, you guys are only 2S-level, but you've been stuck at that level for many years!"
"Yes, if she can't advance to the next level in another twenty or thirty years, her abilities will begin to decline. So she might feel even more pressured, leading her to want to grasp everything she can."
Just like those old emperors in ancient times, they were afraid of losing power in their later years.
"How come it's been so many years and I haven't even been able to advance to a minor level?" Gu Qing didn't understand. Once Gao reached the intermediate level of 2S, this situation would continue for another twenty or thirty years.
If one is lucky enough to reach level 3s, not only will the degeneration period be delayed until a few years before the end of life, but lifespan will also be significantly increased.
