Chapter 711 Very Uneducated
After this period of hardship, Gu Qingxiang's temper had been smoothed out a lot. When he saw Gu Man again, Gu Qingxiang had completely lost that annoying arrogance and had become more humble and pleasing to the eye.
Because so many things have happened during this period, Gu Qingxiang is no longer as glorious as before. He has become much more haggard and tired, and is busy with company affairs every day.
But things at the company were still not improving, and he was beginning to feel overwhelmed.
Now, he couldn't ask Gu Man for money because he knew she wouldn't give it to him. And even if he had money, he couldn't afford to waste it without any business.
Gu Man didn't ask about Gu Qingxiang's recent situation, because she was too lazy to care about how he was doing.
When Gu Qingxiang saw Lin Lijuan, he frowned, but did not show any disgust.
"Lijuan..." Gu Qingxiang called out, but Lin Lijuan didn't respond at all because she didn't even know her own name.
"She doesn't recognize anyone now, and doesn't even know her own name. Let's go buy her clothes first, then go have dinner, and then take her to the hospital after dinner!" said Gu Man.
"Okay," Gu Qingxiang replied, and then was about to help Lin Lijuan, but Lin Lijuan was startled and hurriedly hid behind Gu Man.
Gu Qingxiang had no choice but to turn around and leave, and Gu Man and others followed him.
We got in the car and drove towards the mall.
Along the way, Gu Man and Gu Qingxiang did not communicate with each other. Gu Qingxiang asked what had happened to Lin Lijuan.
The group came to the mall and took Lin Lijuan to buy clothes.
Because Gu Qingxiang didn't have much money now, he went to an ordinary store.
If Gu Qingxiang was not there, Gu Man would pay Lin Lijuan, but if Gu Qingxiang was there, he would naturally pay himself.
But if they eat later, Gu Man naturally doesn't mind paying.
"Hey! Isn't this Madam Lin? Didn't you dislike this low-end store before? Why are you here to look at clothes in this low-end store now?"
Lin Lijuan had just changed her clothes and came out of the fitting room when a mocking female voice was heard.
However, Lin Lijuan did not react at all because she did not know that the other party was talking about her!
Gu Man and Qiao Ya looked at the woman, who was about forty years old, dressed in ordinary clothes, with a mean look on her face, very similar to Lin Lijuan before.
With that woman was another woman of about her age.
Not getting a response from Lin Lijuan, the woman was a little unhappy and continued, "Lin Lijuan, I really sympathize with you. Your daughter is in jail, your husband is cheating on you, and even your company is going bankrupt. From now on, I wonder if you still have the capital to be arrogant in front of me!"
This attitude is so unsatisfactory!
Yes, she and Lin Lijuan have known each other for many years. Because her family is ordinary and Lin Lijuan's family is rich, she often shows off in front of them and looks down on her, so she has long been resentful of her.
If it weren't for the fact that there were people in Lin Lijuan's family who sometimes needed her help, she would have fallen out with Lin Lijuan long ago.
It must be said that this woman was ungrateful. Although Lin Lijuan looked down on her and showed off in front of her, she had never done anything to her and had helped her a lot. However, now that Lin Lijuan was down and out, she turned around and humiliated her.
It is true that jealousy can really distort a person's mentality, even towards the benefactors who have helped him.
Hearing this, everyone came towards Lin Lijuan, with expressions that showed either contempt or sympathy.
When Gu Qingxiang, who was sitting on the sofa, heard this, his face suddenly felt hot and he was a little annoyed, but he couldn't get angry because he was indeed in the wrong for cheating.
Because Gu Qingxiang was buried in reading a magazine, the two women did not see him, nor did they recognize Gu Man and Qiao Ya. Otherwise, the woman would not have mocked him so unscrupulously.
However, Lin Lijuan still did not respond, but Gu Man could not stand it any longer and retorted: "Madam, please pay attention to your image. It is very uncultured to comment on others in public."
The woman's expression suddenly flashed with discomfort when she heard this, and she scolded unhappily: "What does it have to do with you? I'm not talking about you."
"What does it have to do with you what happens to others? What right do you have to talk about them here?" Gu Man said.
"You..." The woman was suddenly so angry that she didn't know how to refute for a moment. The other woman didn't want to cause trouble, so she immediately pulled the woman away.
After the two women left, Gu Man and others also paid the bill and left.
Gu Man took them to the restaurant, asked for a private room, and ordered food.
After ordering the dishes, Gu Qingxiang called Lin Dechang to ask about Lin Lijuan.
"What's the matter?" Lin Dechang asked in a bad tone, because the cheating scandal had strained the relationship between their two families.
"Wasn't Lijuan doing well in the Lin family before? Why didn't you tell me that she left? Now something happened, do you know?" Gu Qingxiang asked with some displeasure.
"What?" Lin Dechang was shocked when he heard this. He then remembered that he hadn't heard from Lin Lijuan for several days. Hearing Gu Qingxiang's words, Lin Dechang felt a little uneasy. He didn't know what happened to Lin Lijuan, so he hurriedly asked, "What happened to Lijuan?"
"She was mentally ill and was walking around the streets like a beggar. She was beaten for stealing steamed buns because she was hungry. If Gu Man hadn't encountered it, I would not have known about it until she died." Gu Qingxiang said angrily.
"What?" Lin Dechang was also shocked when he heard this, and immediately explained: "She left a few days ago and didn't even take her phone with her. I thought she went to see her friends!"
Since Lin Dechang said so, Gu Qingxiang could not pursue the matter further. After all, Lin Lijuan was an adult, not a child. No one was obligated to look after her, and no one expected such a thing to happen.
"Was she mentally normal when she left?" Gu Qingxiang asked.
"She was mentally normal when she left, otherwise how could I let her leave!" Lin Dechang said somewhat unhappily, feeling that Gu Qingxiang's words were doubting that he didn't care about Lin Lijuan's life or death.
He neglected Lin Lijuan, but he didn't let her go out even though he knew she was mentally ill! And Lin Lijuan wouldn't come that night, but he asked Lin Yuehao to find her! Although he was a little unhappy, he would not stand by and watch Lin Lijuan get into trouble: "She can't become mentally ill for no reason. Why don't we go to the police station to report the case and let the police check the surveillance to see what happened to Lijuan."
"Yeah," Gu Qingxiang responded and hung up.
