Gu Shi tried to explain several times, but Lin Qingyu didn't give him a chance at all.
He's either chatting and laughing with his employees, or he's having meals with them.
Normally, whenever he comes over, the two of them eat in a separate room in the backyard.
Now, Gu Shi, sitting on the bench, always feels like there are thorns in his buttocks, and he keeps wanting to stand up.
Every time Lin Qingyu stood up to pick up food or scoop rice, Gu Shi's heart would clench, and he wished he could immediately hold Lin Qingyu in his arms and explain things to her properly.
After finally finishing his meal, Gu Shi wanted to take Lin Qingyu to the backyard for a serious talk.
However, Lin Qingyu immediately said goodbye to the group and took Gu Xichao with her to go home.
"I'm leaving now. There are still kids at home. You guys should finish packing and then close up shop and go home!"
After explaining these words, Lin Qingyu called her uncle and nephew and got into Gu Shi's car to go home.
Gu Xichao felt bad. He had seen Gu Shi looking like he was ready to die, but Lin Qingyu didn't give him a chance at all!
He dragged his feet, and Gu Shi finally spoke just as the three of them stepped out the door.
"Xiao Bao, you're not riding a bicycle anymore, you should go back first. Your aunt and I have some things to do!"
"Yes, yes, I'll ride my bike. It's warmer that way!"
The weather hasn't warmed up yet, so how can riding a bicycle be warmer than riding in a car!
Lin Qingyu was about to shout those words when Gu Xichao suddenly ran away.
Gu Shi pulled her towards his Hongqi car. He was already in a low mood, and now he was even more unhappy.
"What? We're riding in a car, and you're letting Xiaobao ride a bicycle? If the villagers find out, they'll call me a heartless aunt!"
"What are you cursing about? Let's see who dares to do it!"
Lin Qingyu didn't say anything, but just kept staring at Gu Shi, which made even the thick-skinned Gu Shi blush.
However, the two of them got into the car, and there were only two people in the small space.
Gu Shi brought Lin Qingyu to sit in the back seat so that it would be easier to talk. Lin Qingyu thought that there would be a driver again this time.
When they came in, they found there were only two people.
She remained silent, though she knew what Gu Shi wanted to say, but she held back.
This was the first time Gu Shi had done something like this; he had done something behind Lin Qingyu's back.
"Qingyu! I was wrong!"
"What's wrong?"
“I shouldn’t have let someone protect you without your consent, I shouldn’t have let others watch over you, I shouldn’t have…”
"Stop, stop, stop! I know you mean well, but I don't think it's that exaggerated! Besides, if it weren't for Xiaobao, would the people you sent have been able to save me?"
Lin Qingyu was furious. Gu Shi didn't know when he had become like this, and kept dodging the question.
Gu Shi fell silent. He genuinely didn't know the details of what happened, so he didn't dare to say too much.
Lin Qingyu kept saying, "Although I don't object to you doing this, I don't think it's necessary. The chances of such a thing happening in broad daylight are already very slim!"
"Mmm!"
Gu Shi kept saying "Mmm-hmm!" "Yes, yes, yes!" "Okay, okay!"
But Lin Qingyu had figured out Gu Shi's tricks, and he was probably thinking, "I'll do it again next time!"
"I know what you're thinking, and I don't object, but at least find someone reliable, right?"
Finally, based on Lin Qingyu's vivid description, Gu Shi roughly guessed what had happened.
The incident happened suddenly, and Gu Xichao acted too quickly; the man was stopped before he could even arrive.
However, he didn't explain, and let Lin Qingyu talk to him for most of the day, finally nodding in agreement.
When they returned home, they all tacitly kept quiet about the incident, especially Li Xiuhua, whom they should keep in the dark the most.
With two more helpers at home, Li Xiuhua's life is much easier. She can finally talk to someone, and the heavy housework is done by others. It's so much easier for her now.
The whole family sat together chatting and laughing, and Lin Qingyu showed no trace of the panic she had shown during the day.
Although her legs were still trembling a little, she managed to hold on until it was time to go to bed that night.
Gu Jue has always slept in her crib, and now she can sleep through the night without having to get up to drink milk.
This made Lin Qingyu feel much more relaxed, and she was able to get a good night's sleep. Otherwise, she wouldn't have wanted to go to the small restaurant at all.
The two talked for a long time that night before Lin Qingyu finally drifted off to sleep.
The next day she felt refreshed and fully recovered.
I didn't feel uncomfortable at all while walking to the small restaurant; it was another fresh day.
However, she didn't expect that before she even reached the restaurant, she could see several people standing at the entrance, seemingly holding something in their hands.
It's quite large, rectangular in shape.
Upon entering, I was surprised to find it was Zhang Haiyang, the director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau, who had come again.
She quickly rubbed her red hands together, afraid that there might be a part where she would need to show her hands.
"Director Zhang, what a rare guest! Why did you come to our little restaurant so early this morning? I'll start making the Chinese medicinal cuisine right away, but you'll have to wait a while!"
Zhang Haiyang laughed heartily and said, "Boss lady! I came here on business, but I've also been craving your medicinal cuisine!"
"Please come in, Director Zhang. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Lin Qingyu took out her key and opened the door. It was still early, and it was quite cold outside.
Zhang Haiyang kept everyone in suspense for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's certainly good news that I'm here, but I heard there was a little accident here yesterday. I see you're still full of energy, landlady!"
"Sigh, that's business! You're bound to meet all sorts of different people!"
Lin Qingyu said helplessly, "The door is open, but it's still very cold inside."
"Director Zhang, please wait a moment. Let me light the stove first!"
Lin Qingyu was the first to arrive. It was still quite dark, and no one knew how long these people had been waiting there.
Soon, the stove in the lobby warmed up, and everyone sat around it to keep warm.
The employees also came to work, and soon there were many people.
Seeing that things were almost done, Zhang Haiyang called Lin Qingyu over.
"Mrs. Lin Qingyu, I, Zhang Haiyang, representing the Xinshi City Administration for Industry and Commerce, have specially made a plaque for you!"
As he spoke, he lifted the rectangular object that the person next to him was supporting, and the red cloth fell down, revealing the words on it.
First Dining – Jade Restaurant
The words "Jade Restaurant" were placed in the lower right corner. The characters were written in a vigorous and unrestrained style, and Lin Qingyu felt that Zhang Haiyang had written them himself.
"Madam, this was ordered a while ago, specially delivered to your restaurant!"
"Thank you so much, Director! It's such a pleasure to have come all this way! Let me treat you all to breakfast! I'm so sorry to have to wait for me so early!"
Lin Qingyu smiled happily; it was a genuine smile from the bottom of her heart!
