Chapter 538 The Torturer



"Okay." Qiu Ling'er replied sweetly and walked towards Gu Xiaoran.

Gu Xiaoran curled up on the edge of the bed. When she saw Qiu Ling'er, she ignored her and just kept sobbing. Her tear-streaked face was full of grievance.

Seeing him like this, Qiu Ling'er thought of her own mother whom she had never met, and her nose tingled with sadness.

"Xiao Ran, I know you miss your sister. If you behave well, your sister will come back soon. If you don't behave, your sister will come back very late."

"You're lying." Gu Xiaoran turned his head to the side. Did they really think he was a three-year-old? He was already four years old and not so easy to fool.

"Really, I'm not lying to you." When Gu Xiaoran first arrived, he spent the most time with Qiu Ling'er, but he relied more on his older sister.

This made Qiu Ling'er feel frustrated.

"I won't go back. Let's go find Mother together, okay?"

Gu Xiaoran looked up at Qiu Ling'er, his slightly hoarse voice filled with pleading.

"Well... I don't know where my sister is, so I can't agree to that." Qiu Ling'er also wanted to go out with her sister, but her sister was very busy, and she needed to study.

Just when Qiu Ling'er was at her wit's end trying to persuade Gu Xiaoran, Zhou Zifang and Qiu Xu returned home from school.

Cao also estimated the time and rushed back.

Qiu Yan entrusted her younger sister to her, so she had to do her best.

The three discovered that the crybaby Gu Xiaoran and Li Zheng had arrived in Baiyang, and that Gu Xiaoran was throwing a tantrum because she couldn't find Qiu Yan. They took turns trying to comfort her.

However, none of them worked.

In the end, Qiu Xu went to find Gao Chong and asked him to bring the football over.

That night, in Lingnan Village, Qiu Xu and his two companions, forcing themselves to stay awake under the bright night sky, squinted as they played a game of Cuju (ancient Chinese football) with a little boy...

Gu Xiaoran was very interested, while the three teenagers were extremely sleepy.

Gu Xiaoran, this mischievous child, managed to make Gao Chong, who had always loved Cuju (ancient Chinese football), feel disgusted with him.

Kids can really cause trouble.

Today, Qiu Yan, whom Gu Xiaoran was thinking about, was busy all day.

Because she spent the entire day at Xingyue Tower, diligently working on business matters.

The general process, looking at Bai Yang.

Because Qiu Yan already had experience, this matter was easy for her to handle.

At Zhou Shao's behest, Manager Liao assisted him from the sidelines.

On the first day, Qiu Yan instructed the servant Zhou Shao had arranged for her to spread the news extensively.

Regarding the delivery fee, she and Zhou Shao had discussed it in advance, and most people were able to accept it.

Food containers and such are minor issues that can be easily resolved.

During this time, it is inevitable that some people will not listen to her, and they will feel that Qiu Yan is too young to take on such a great responsibility.

Qiu Yan didn't argue with them. These people weren't her people, so it was understandable that they didn't trust her. She just needed to prove herself with her abilities.

When someone asked, Qiu Yan patiently explained.

In just five days, Qiu Yan made everyone in Shangjin City aware of Xingyuelou's food delivery system.

Bai Lu lay in bed for five days. When she woke up, she was sore all over and refused to lie down again.

Even though she was weak all over and her steps were unsteady, she refused to allow herself to be as frail and weak as a living dead.

Upon hearing the commotion next door, Ling Qi's first action was to observe Bai Lu for a moment.

He said softly, "You're awake."

Bai Lu's gaze was calm as still water, but her palms were trembling.

Perhaps it was because his injuries had not yet healed, or perhaps it was because he was enduring it.
