"What, is your coffee made of gold? You only care about making coffee, and you don't even know how to maintain order!"
The shop assistant was about to reply when the boss finally came out.
"I'm so sorry, miss, it was our oversight that took up your time. I'd like to offer you a free cup of coffee, which I'll make myself!"
The boss was a greasy man with glasses, but in Zhou Chunmei's eyes, he was a polite boss.
"Okay! Then I won't hold it against you!"
"I'm so sorry, dear lady! Oh, would you like me to offer your bodyguard a cup of coffee as well?"
Feng Chao's face turned green. What kind of eyes did he have? How dare he call him a bodyguard?
However, Zhou Chunmei did not explain, but just covered her mouth and smiled, saying, "No need, he doesn't like coffee."
Lin Qingyu saw all of this, but she didn't go any further in. Instead, she pulled Li Juan and walked out.
"What's wrong? We didn't even say hello to Feng Chao."
Li Juan seemed confused and didn't seem willing to leave.
Lin Qingyu said irritably, "Why bother greeting him? You don't even know what kind of person he is. Oh well, never mind, I won't talk about him anymore."
People queuing outside craned their necks to look inside, unaware that they had been in line for so long while others had cut in line several times.
Lin Qingyu didn't care about any of that; she just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
"Come on, come on! I'll treat you to hot pot. I know a really good hot pot place. You can still handle spicy food, right?"
Lin Qingyu still remembers that when Li Juan was a child, she would cry whenever she ate spicy food. Back then, she really couldn't touch anything spicy.
Li Juan said shyly, "I still can't eat spicy food. Unlike you, I can't eat anything delicious!"
"Oh, it's okay. They also have pork bone broth, which isn't spicy at all and is delicious!"
And so, Lin Qingyu led Li Juan toward the museum, the shop being located nearby.
The two of them ate and drank their fill before going home, and it was almost dark.
Lin Qingyu heard Gu Jue crying loudly before she even entered the house, and she didn't know what was wrong.
In her haste, she ran home and tripped and fell at her doorstep.
His knees were scraped, and his palms were covered in cuts and scrapes.
She didn't care about herself and hurriedly took out her keys to open the door.
Upon entering the house, they saw Li Xiuhua holding the child, while Gu Jue had a bandage wrapped around his forehead.
What happened?
She didn't even bother to put the things in her hands properly, and they fell to the ground, scattering the apples she bought for Gu Jue all over the place.
Li Xiuhua also looked like she had been crying. She gently shook Gu Jue, but Gu Jue continued to cry.
"Qingyu, the child..."
Li Xiuhua was filled with self-blame and couldn't speak.
Lin Qingyu quickly took Gu Jue and held him in her arms. She looked at Gu Jue with heartache; the child was so small, and his eyes were red from crying.
After the nanny, Sister Juan, cleaned up the apples on the floor, Li Xiuhua calmed herself down and then recounted what had happened that morning.
It turned out that early in the morning, the group took Gu Jue to a small park nearby.
There were only a few swings and seesaws there. Since there were few people, Li Xiuhua would hold someone and gently sway on the swings.
Just then, a man and a woman walked over. She didn't pay much attention to them, assuming they were just people from the neighborhood who had come to play.
Unexpectedly, one of the men walked up to the swing and tried to snatch Gu Jue away.
Li Xiuhua was terrified and clung tightly to Gu Jue, refusing to let go. Lin Dajun also rushed over to protect them immediately.
In the end, Lin Dajun prevailed and beat the man to the ground before saving Gu Jue.
Unexpectedly, that woman took advantage of Li Xiuhua's inattention and snatched Gu Jue away.
When Lin Dajun caught up, he slammed Gu Jue to the ground.
Such a small child, Gu Jue is only seven months old, how could he withstand such a fall!
Li Xiuhua was so angry she almost fainted. After that, she contacted Gu Shi and took him to the hospital.
Fortunately, she was dressed warmly in many clothes and wore a hat. The doctor had her examined thoroughly and confirmed that there were no serious injuries.
His forehead was just scraped; it happened when the two groups were pulling at each other, and something grazed him.
The two people were also arrested and are probably still at the police station.
After finishing his business, Gu Shi rushed back to the brick factory.
Because we couldn't find Lin Qingyu, we couldn't contact her.
Lin Qingyu's heart ached terribly after hearing this! She had only gone out for a day, and Gu Jue was in this state; it was truly heartbreaking!
Fortunately, Gu Jue probably smelled the milk scent on his mother and finally stopped crying and slowly fell asleep.
The whole family was devastated and had no idea what was wrong with those two people.
"Qingyu! Why don't we take the child and go home? Why are there so many bad people here!"
Li Xiuhua looked at Gu Jue with tears in her eyes and a pang of heartache.
Lin Qingyu knew that the home Li Xiuhua mentioned was Lihua Village, and she also knew that since Li Xiuhua moved in with them, several things had indeed happened.
"Mother, but what about Gu Shi? We can't just abandon him. Besides, we can't just give up our house because there are bad people around!"
Li Xiuhua felt both heartache and self-blame; she truly felt that this place was too dangerous.
However, Lin Qingyu also raised a question: the houses here, Gu Shi's brick factory, Lin Qingyu's restaurant, and even Gu Xichao's school.
It seems they've already settled down here and taken root in New Stone City.
Lin Qingyu held Gu Jue tightly, not daring to put her down even when she fell asleep, for fear that the slightest movement would wake her up and make her feel the pain in her head again.
Gu Shi didn't get home until after 1 a.m. He hadn't planned to go home, but he was worried about Gu Jue.
Knowing that Lin Qingyu would be heartbroken if she went home, he still went home after finishing his work.
He tiptoed into the bedroom and saw Lin Qingyu sitting on the edge of the bed, still holding Gu Jue in her arms.
The moment Lin Qingyu looked up and saw Gu Shi, she couldn't stop her tears.
She had been holding back, but when she saw Gu Shi, she finally found her backer, and so she couldn't stop her tears.
Gu Shi felt sorry for her and went to hug her, wiping away her tears.
"Don't cry, Xiaoyuer, don't cry. It's all my fault. I failed to protect the child!"
Even though this has nothing to do with Gu Shi, he always takes it all on himself.
Lin Qingyu shook her head: "It has nothing to do with you, it's me, it's me today..."
"No, this matter is related to me. Qingyu, none of you should go out recently. There's a problem at the brick factory, and there might be danger in the future."
Lin Qingyu immediately understood what Gu Shi meant: those two people were arranged by someone.
