After the conversation, the father and son reached an agreement.
In order to protect the safety of his family, all future communications between Lin Jingbei and Gu Yun must go through Song Chen first.
After the call, Song Chen called Li Xianglian and her husband, who were also far away in their hometown, and told them that the three of them would be returning tomorrow.
Li Xianglian was so happy that her laughter could be heard from the phone. She also said that she would go to pick them up.
"No need. We don't know when we'll get to town. Just wait. With Lin Jingbei's help, you don't have to worry." Song Chen said.
"Okay, be careful." Li Xianglian agreed.
——
Unexpectedly, the next morning, when the three of them walked to the entrance of the alley, Song Chen saw the same car that brought Lin Jingbei back yesterday.
Exactly the same.
A man got out of the car.
He was wearing a shirt and trousers, with a slicked-back hair, a golden watch on his wrist, and a faint smile on his lips.
The man extended his left hand and said politely, "Hello, Gu Yun."
Song Chen: So this is what it looks like.
But I'm still a little bit behind him.
Song Chen was not an impolite person. No matter how reluctant he was, he had to do his best. He put down the big suitcase in his hand and gently shook his left hand.
"Song Chen."
Then he introduced the person in front of him, "This is Lin Lu, my wife, Lin Jingbei's mother."
Gu Yun had never asked about it, and he just found out about the situation of his apprentice's mother.
"Hello."
Lin Lu smiled back: "Hello."
Gu Yun: "I wanted to take some time to visit you two and talk to you about what I told Jing Bei before, but I only found out last night that you were leaving today. In that case, let's talk about those things later. I wonder if I have the honor to see you three off to the station."
It would be a waste not to take a free ride, not to mention that they also have Lin Lu who is not very convenient here. Song Chen is very flexible and said with a smile: "Then I'll trouble you, Brother Gu."
No matter how much Lin Jingbei wants to learn about stocks, his family still comes first in his heart.
After talking with his father, he felt a little awkward about his feelings towards Gu Yun and didn't know how to treat him.
He didn't talk much while sitting in the passenger seat.
Gu Yun asked, "Was the number that called last night Brother Song's?"
After several rounds, Song Chen also got to know some of this person's background and roughly guessed that he should have nothing to do with that side.
Said: "Yes, if you want to find Lin Jingbei in the future, you can call that number."
Gu Yun gestured to Lin Jingbei: "Open the black box in front of you and take a look."
There was an exquisitely wrapped black gift box in front of the co-pilot seat.
Lin Jingbei opened it obediently and found a black Nokia mobile phone inside.
He immediately closed the box and pushed it inside, "I can't have this."
Gu Yun glanced at Song Chen and his wife in the rearview mirror and asked, "Since I have accepted Xiao Bei as my apprentice, this is a small gift from me to him. Can you accept it?"
A small gift?
This is no small matter.
Lin Lu said generously, "Take it. Ask your master for his home address. When we return, send him some local specialties to try."
Lin Jingbei was in a dilemma. All the education he had received over the years had taught him that he should not accept such expensive gifts from others, but his mother had already spoken, and it would be inappropriate for him to refuse shyly, as it would easily give people the impression that he was timid.
"Thank you, Master."
Gu Yun: "As long as you like it, thank you. I'll keep in touch."
Song Chen: “…”
Wife, what should I do?
He had just said that they could use their own mobile phones to keep in touch, and this person immediately gave them a mobile phone.
You're trying to slap him in the face, aren't you?
It's his turn to show off his wealth.
What made him grit his teeth the most was that along the way he was either talking to his son or his wife, and the conversations were very lively.
Gu Yun expressed his appreciation for Lin Lu's knowledge, and Lin Lu thanked him for teaching his son how to trade stocks.
He just has nothing to talk about.
When he arrived at the station, Song Chen immediately opened the door and got out of the car, forcing a smile to thank the man.
What made him feel most threatened was what Lin Lu said.
——Mr. Gu seems to be a very good person. Jingbei should be able to learn a lot from him.
Song Chen took back his previous words. Although this man had nothing to do with that place, it was obvious that he wanted to rob his house.
He said sourly, "One must be on guard against others. From now on, I really won't dare let you two go out on your own."
Lin Lu laughed at him: "You're still jealous, brother."
Song Chen: "Who is your brother? Mr. Gu is your brother."
Lin Jingbei simply couldn't bear to watch. There were so many people coming and going at the station, and his father wasn't even ashamed.
He seriously suspected that the righteous words his father said to him last night were actually mixed with personal emotions.
Lin Lu gave him a clean eye roll: "Stop talking nonsense."
Song Chen whispered, "They are all ungrateful and have no conscience."
Lin Lu looked at Lin Jingbei, and both mother and son had the same expression of disgust.
——
I didn’t encounter any strange people or things on the way back, and I arrived in the city after sleeping for a few days.
Just caught the last bus back to town.
After another two hours of bumpy ride, we finally saw the familiar street scene.
The bus stopped at an old bus station, and a few people were vaguely standing under the dim street lights.
The passengers got off the bus one after another. Song Chen held Lin Lu while Lin Jingbei was responsible for getting the wheelchair.
"We're finally here." Li Xianglian stood at the car door, poked her head inside, and saw several of her family members. She said happily.
Lin Jingbei was surprised: "Grandma, why are you here?"
"I'm here to pick you up. You have so much stuff, it must be difficult to carry it all." Li Xianglian said.
