Chapter 109 Risking one's life to save
"I am a man too."
A low voice rang in his ears, and Gu Qingshi was stunned for a moment, and his heart skipped a beat.
After reacting, Gu Qingshi stepped back suddenly, so fast that he almost fell down.
Lu Yuan reached out and pulled her back. He looked down at Gu Qing and was about to say something when he saw that her eyes were as black as ink, clear and bright, as if they had never been tainted by any worldly thoughts. He paused, then let go of her hand and stood up.
"Gu Qingshi, you shouldn't trust me so much, or you'll fall into a tiger's mouth without knowing it." Lu Yuan's tone was lazy, low, and a little teasing.
Gu Qingshi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him retreat, "You tried to scare me on purpose."
Lu Yuan just now made her feel a little strange, and her heart felt a little weird. Gu Qingshi couldn't describe the specific feeling, she just felt that Lu Yuan was a little strange at that moment, and so was his eyes.
She scratched her chest, but it seemed like she missed.
Looking at Lu Yuan again, it seemed that it was just an illusion. Gu Qingshi went to pack his things with doubts, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have to pack my luggage today. Now I have to take everything out again."
Lu Yuan answered casually, looking at Gu Qingshi's back with a frown on his face, and his originally happy mood was greatly reduced.
Because he felt that everything was not what he thought. Gu Qingshi trusted him too much, which made him feel uncomfortable, as if something went wrong.
It was really raining outside. Lu Yuan closed the window and didn't notice that a small shop opposite was looking at the guesthouse, or more accurately, looking at them.
There were three people, one sitting and two standing. The two standing were a pair of twins, with pointed chins and monkey cheeks. They looked exactly the same, except that they were wearing different clothes, one in a grey smock and the other in a blue smock.
It was winter, but they didn't seem to feel the cold. The man in gray clothes gestured to the only bald man sitting there to look up, "Brother, those two guys are the ones who collected ginseng. They collected a lot."
The man in blue rubbed his hands and added, "Very fat."
The bald man in a military coat opened his clothes to reveal his belly. He couldn't deny what he heard, and his attention was not on the two people.
"I think that girl is pretty. She's so fair and pretty. It's rare to see her like that."
The man in blue clothes' eyes lit up. "Yes, I was just about to tell you, brother. Do you want to get her to play with?"
"Needless to say." The bald man thought he was talking nonsense.
"Will something happen?" The man in gray was a little worried.
"What kind of trouble can she cause? You are too timid." The man in blue clothes laughed, "Didn't you see that she lives in the same room with a man? How can she be a decent person?"
"That's right, those two guys are just two pretty boys. Just create some accidents to scare them. Haven't we seen enough rich young men? They are usually so arrogant, but they turn into weaklings when they see a knife."
The man in gray clothes also laughed when he heard this. Indeed, for a young man like this, there were plenty of ways to set up a trap, no matter if it was robbery or extortion.
"Then the old rule is to slaughter the fat sheep tonight." The laughter of the three people was drowned out by the sound of rain, leaving no trace.
The rain stopped in the second half of the night, and when dawn came the sky cleared up with blue sky and white clouds, very refreshing.
Although Lu Yuan still didn't sleep well and didn't fall asleep until the second half of the night, he still woke up before dawn the next day because of his dreams.
After sitting on the bed and looking at Gu Qingshi who was still sleeping quietly for a while, Lu Yuantao seemed to leave the room.
As a result, they ran into the ghost-like Qin Zeming at the door. Qin Zeming had not slept all night, fearing that they were doing something, and had been eavesdropping outside, waiting to rush in when he heard any noise.
"Why are you here?" Lu Yuan frowned and closed the door.
"Where are you going in such a hurry so early in the morning? What are you feeling guilty about?" Qin Zeming couldn't see inside, and his sharp eyes fell on Lu Yuan's face.
"Who feels guilty?" Lu Yuan took a step forward to leave.
"We are all men, don't I know why you feel guilty?" Qin Zeming gritted his teeth and spoke each word slowly, "Lu Yuan, I'm telling you, Qing Shi likes me."
"Really? I didn't see that."
"You are blind if you don't see it, but that is the truth. Don't think she treats you differently. She is just using you."
"Use me?" Lu Yuan shook his head. "You think too much."
Qin Zeming gritted his teeth, "You don't believe it, right? If you don't believe it, just wait and see."
Qin Zeming said this, but he didn't expect that what he was waiting for would come so soon.
Guo Lang arrived at the guesthouse early and apologized to Gu Qingshi again and again. He took Gu Qingshi to see the shop he liked and said that he didn't know what to sell originally and thought of selling food. Later he found out what Bai Xue had done and came up with the idea because he believed in Bai Xue.
"My sister said that if Gu's whitening cream and acne cream are really that effective, she can help. She has been filming TV dramas for the past few years and has met a lot of people. People in the film and television industry, regardless of gender or age, pay more attention to skin care. She also knows some makeup artists. When the time comes, she will help promote them, and sales will not be a problem."
“So even though the store is in Ninghe County, my sister and I think it’s not limited to Ninghe County.”
As Guo Lang talked about these things, he gradually became more interested and it was obvious that he was very concerned. However, he was a little nervous about what had happened to Guo Qing, for fear that Gu Qingshi would feel uncomfortable and disgusted.
"Sister Qingshi, my sister is really not a bad person, nor is she a vixen as outsiders say. She used to be serious about filming, and the money she earned was clean. The people she knows are all decent people, not those shady ones. You don't have to worry about her ruining your product."
Gu Qingshi hurriedly shook his head, "No, I'm not worried about that. There is no distinction between high-ranking and low-ranking customers. If your sister can help, that would be the best thing."
This is also a new path. If it can be opened, it will be twice the result with half the effort. Actors, especially stars, have a great influence. If they are lucky enough to be favored, they may even get a surprise.
"I was originally worried that the Ninghe County market was too small, but after listening to your plan, I think it is feasible."
"Really, that's great, I was afraid of you." Guo Lang smiled embarrassedly. He thought that Gu Qingshi would have left long ago after hearing what happened to her sister. He didn't expect that she not only waited for him to meet him, but also seemed to support him.
"Just do business, there's no need to say too much." Gu Qingshi responded, and he was not prejudiced against Guo Qing because she was pregnant before marriage.
"Great, then Sister Qingshi, what should we do next? Do we need to sign a contract?"
“It needs to be signed.”
The two of them were chatting happily. Lu Yuan next to them didn't interrupt, but listened attentively. Qin Zeming, on the other hand, was not interested in these things. In addition, he had not slept for two nights, so he was listless. When Gu Qingshi and Guo Lang were about to leave, he quickly cheered up and caught up with them, walking side by side with Lu Yuan, not lagging behind him.
Just when I was leaving, something unexpected happened.
The shop had been transferred and was under renovation. The shop sign that read "Ninghe Xinxin Clothing Store" hanging on the roof suddenly fell off.
The shop sign was huge, so the damage was quite serious.
When Gu Qingshi turned around, he saw the sign falling, and his expression changed, "Be careful!"
She ran forward and pushed Lu Yuan away without thinking too much.
