Chapter 30: Twenty-Nine Days After the Character Collapse
That kind of expression shouldn't appear on Lu Liye's face.
He has always been young and frivolous.
It is "fight evil with evil, tooth for tooth".
Just like before, he punched Gu Yuan.
For example, before, he beat Wang Qiang because he missed the exam.
But now, he had that expression.
and--
The gloom in his eyes was still spreading gradually, and it was about to swallow up the original brutality and sinisterness.
The gloom seemed to swallow him whole.
At this moment, he looks like a lifeless puppet!
Can--
Lu Liye understood.
He himself was just thinking about things.
He just overheard the conversations of the members of the "Four Leaf Clover" Club.
It was also very easy to think of what they could think of.
He finally understood:
Qin Qingqing refused to attend the "birthday party" not because she was unwilling to attend as "Lu Liye's mother".
But she was afraid.
She was afraid that the media would spread those rumors to the public; she was even more afraid that she would never be able to tear off the label of "absurd, harsh to her son, and torture of her husband."
She is getting better!
But him?
Last night I was still mad because she refused to attend my birthday party.
Is he going too far?
So, he is really gradually becoming the person she used to be?
He doesn't want to!
If that's the case, he would rather stop there!
Let his life end here... He didn't want to torture her in return.
Lu Liye thought so.
His expression became more gloomy.
He was giving up on himself again.
He still didn't realize that he was abnormal.
He just forced a faint smile at Qin.
He was very cooperative and protected her behind him.
Qin was silent for a moment.
And reacted quickly——
[System!]
[Have the psychological problems of leaving the wild exploded?!]
[yes.]
The system smiled bitterly, but still answered the host's question.
Qin Qingqing was stunned.
If you are afraid, your eyes will turn red...
She didn't expect it.
Just when she successfully pulled the hatred of the Lin family onto herself; at the critical moment when she was about to take a step forward and become the heroine of "First Mother and Second Mother" and bring him into the variety show.
Lu Liye's psychological problems broke out.
And he himself didn't even realize the psychological problem...
He used to be young and frivolous.
They will "fight evil with evil and give tooth for tooth".
But there is only one person except——
That person was Qin Qingqing.
his mother.
He pretended to be "I don't need a mother" by being sinister and rebellious, but he longed for mother's love in his heart...
That's why he was treated harshly by the original owner time and time again, and never resisted.
That's why he was always filled with anger every time he faced her, but he never actually took action against her.
so……
That's why he would approach her again and again, awkwardly and irresistibly, with the same pace...
Lu Liye didn't know any of this.
And Qin Qingqing knew it all.
She had guessed a long time ago that Lu Liye had psychological problems.
But at that time, she was worried about his "paralysis caused by a car accident."
But now, she has used the method of "attracting hatred" to eliminate the possibility of the Lin family "causing a car accident for Lu Liye".
He even called her "Mom" last night!
But he actually developed serious psychological problems?
Qin Qingqing felt mixed emotions for a moment.
But she also knew:
She had to pull Li Ye out of the emotional abyss.
Can--
How is she going to do it?
Qin Qingqing thought about it.
I didn't directly expose Lu Liye...
Instead, she quietly poked her head out from behind him - she was talking to Gu Yuan and others.
She raised the question without leaving a trace.
"hold head high?"
"You guys are giving me goosebumps! What do you want to say?"
Gu Yuan and others had complicated expressions because they were "worried that the boss would attend the birthday party alone"!
They want to say...
"Sister Qing, how about we go to Old Lady Lu's birthday party with you?"
"Yes, Boss! This will save you from being besieged by those rich ladies."
"Don't they always look down on you and call you ridiculous? And they also make up all kinds of stories about you?"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Everyone offered suggestions, fearing that Qin Qingqing would never come back.
Even Qi Yanyan spoke weakly:
"It just so happens that our family has received an invitation letter from the Lu family's old house."
"Even though there's only one ticket, if we all go together, they won't stop us, right?"
As soon as she said this, she received enthusiastic support from everyone!
At this moment, Qin Qingqing herself was in a state of confusion.
“Ahem!”
"Everyone——"
She had no choice but to raise her voice to draw everyone's attention back.
"I'm going to celebrate the old lady's birthday, not to challenge her to a fight."
"so……"
"Why would the rich ladies besiege me?"
"You don't have to worry!"
She smiled again when she said this.
Decisive cue to leave the field!
Qin gently cued Lu to leave the country, not to point out that his mood was abnormal; but to try to bring him out without leaving any trace.
She smiled and said.
"Besides, I still have Li Ye to protect me..."
"Really?"
Lu Liye was stunned at first.
Then I blinked stupidly——
"……Um."
He subconsciously affirmed Qin Qingqing's words.
Afterwards, I realized that
yes!
He can protect her!
He is still useful.
As he thought about this, a little more light appeared in his eyes.
In conjunction with...
The gloom in his eyes also dissipated a lot.
Qin Qingqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At once……
I also heard the people in the club speaking in frustration.
"All right."
"But we don't know anything else. The boss himself is definitely not 'absurd'!"
"She's a professional race car driver who took us to championships!"
"right!"
"Boss, I feel really bad that we were misunderstood by those wealthy people..."
"Me too! So Sister Yanyan, why don't you take your family's invitation letter and attend the Lu family's birthday party to clear our Sister Qing's name?"
"At least, we can't let them continue to think that my young sister is ridiculous."
What everyone said is very true.
Qi Yanyan also nodded excitedly!
Beside him, Gu Yuan couldn't help but -
"I'm going too!"
"I also want to clear the name of the boss! And I want to protect the boss together with our eldest son!"
"Fairy Yan's invitation should include one more person, right?"
Qin smiled secretly.
This Gu Yuan is really a "Fairy Yan" when there is something going on, and a "Yan Dog" when nothing is happening!
But unfortunately——
Fairy Yan really falls for this.
"Okay then, let's go together?"
Although she was answering Gu Yuan, she was looking at Qin Qingqing while speaking, obviously asking for her opinion.
Qin nodded with a smile - anyway, Qi Yanyan had already been invited to the old house.
Gu Yuancai cheered!
“Yeah!”
Everyone in the "Four Leaf Clover" club is very satisfied.
They started the motorcycles one after another.
Withdrew.
Only Qi Yanyan and Gu Yuan were left there.
Gu Yuan casually stretched out his hand and hooked Lu Liye's shoulder.
He spoke cheerfully again——
"Boss, Liye, where are you planning to go?"
"Qi Yanyan and I will take you there, shall we?"
Lu Liye was caught off guard and someone put his arm around his shoulders.
The whole person froze...
But soon, he relaxed - it was not like he had never been touched like this before. Didn't Han Zirui always touch him like this and call him "Brother Ye"?
Qin smiled and nodded.
"Go to Qingyun Building."
"Thank you so much~"
As she said this, she took the helmet handed to her by Qi Yanyan and got into the car.
Without leaving any trace, I glanced at the next door——
Next door: Lu Liye was standing still, with Gu Yuan holding his shoulders and pushing his helmet on like a "good buddy"!
His earlobes were stained a light red because of the other party's excessive enthusiasm.
and--
The gloom in his eyes had long since disappeared.
Some were just surprise, helplessness, and a little uncomfortable.
But this is normal.
This……
But this is something Lu Liye has never experienced before!
After all, how could that brat Han Zirui dare to do anything to his wild brother?
but--
Gu Yuan dares!
Gu Yuan completely shattered the last bit of gloom in Lu Liye's heart; Bang Qin Qingqing pulled Lu Liye back from the brink of emotional collapse.
Gu Yuan pushed Lu Liye to the side of the motorcycle again, and carefully told him to sit steadily and hold on.
While looking up, he gave the boss a look of "reassurance"...
He started the motorcycle and drove away into the wild with Lu.
Qin blinked gently.
Only then can you completely relax——
“That’s a close call.”
"No, everything is alright?"
In front, Qi Yanyan started the motorcycle and asked.
Qin Qingqing gave an affirmative answer.
She also breathed a sigh of relief...
Then he rode his bike and caught up with Gu Yuan and Lu Liye.
In fact, they had just received an urgent call for help from the boss very suddenly!
That is their "Four Leaf Clover" Club's unique way of communication.
Later——
Only then, under the guidance of their boss, did they discover that something was wrong with Lu Liye.
At that time, they cooperated with each other to ease the eldest son's emotions in a subtle way.
Among these, Gu Yuan indeed played the greatest role!
"Gu Yuanyuan is still somewhat useful..."
Qi Yanyan murmured softly.
Qin Qingqing just smiled.
*
Two motorcycles passed through the traffic, one in front and one behind...
Then stopped outside Qingyun Building.
Qin Qingqing and Lu left the country and took a ride from Qi Yanyan and Gu Yuan. They said goodbye to the two and then walked into the building side by side.
Qingyun Building is one of the shopping malls under Lu's.
As soon as they entered the building.
Someone immediately came forward!
He is the building manager.
That person obviously knew Lu Liye.
While leading the two people, he was busy introducing the new products in the mall.
Don’t forget to ask…
"Young Master."
"What do you want to see today?"
Lu Liye didn't even look at him.
Instead, he turned around and asked Qin Qingqing.
"Mom?"
"So, this is Mrs. Lu!"
The person in charge suddenly realized!
I also remember: the lady has a strange personality and is absurd and difficult to serve.
He added subconsciously.
"Ma'am, would you like me to send someone to clear the place for you?"
Qin Qingqing was stunned.
Is she that difficult to please?
No!
Have those "absurd" rumors about her reached here?
Qin Qingqing seemed to be thinking about something.
Lu Liye suddenly raised his head and glared at the person in charge with violent eyes.
The person in charge was so frightened that his legs went limp!
Damn!
Just now, he was only paying attention to Madam Zhang, but he forgot that the young master was also very difficult to serve!
While the person in charge was shivering, he heard a gentle voice.
"Need not."
"Take us to the top floor."
It’s Qin Qingqing, Mrs. Lu.
"Okay!"
The person in charge is pardoned!
He led the way at that time, and took the opportunity to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead - he was scared by the young master.
But now, the young master's hair was messed up by his wife.
But he said nothing...
It doesn't look that scary.
The person in charge thinks so.
But I don’t know——
He almost lost his job just now!
Lu Liye pursed his lips as he entered the VIP elevator with Qin Qingqing.
He recalled what Qin Qingqing had whispered to him just now...
She said:
"Hmm? The kid is frowning again!"
"You can wrinkle your brows at will, but it will make you look older."
Is there?
Is he frowning?
Lu Liye touched his forehead involuntarily; the hostility in his eyes suddenly disappeared completely.
Qin smiled gently.
I couldn't help it again...
He reached out and ruffled Lu Liye's hair.
Her little friend is so cute~
Also very easy to please.
The little interaction between Qin Qingqing and her son was completely unnoticed by the person in charge.
The person in charge quickly led them to the top floor.
Antique area.
This alarmed the antique shop manager again.
They picked and chose here and chose a painting of pine and crane for old lady Lu.
"You two have good taste!"
"This collection is full of life and is the perfect choice for birthday celebrations..."
The store manager immediately gave her a bunch of compliments.
"OK."
"This one then?"
Lu Liye and Qin Qingqing spoke at the same time.
They smiled at each other again...
"Okay!"
The store manager responded immediately.
He was busy greeting the employees and packing food for his wife and master.
And the Madam and the Young Master?
I have completed the "Purchase Birthday Gift" mission, and I am going downstairs happily~
They went to the third floor.
clothing area.
In fact, the main reason was that Qin Qingqing went downstairs happily to go to the clothing area to buy clothes for her eldest son...she said it was a reward for his good performance today.
But the reality is: she just wanted to take her son out to relax!
Isn’t the best way to relax by shopping?
Although Lu Liye didn't quite understand this "shopping to relax" behavior, he still happily accompanied his mother to the clothing area to shop!
It was the first time for him to accompany his mother shopping.
It was also the first time for Qin Qingqing to choose clothes for her son.
Q: How to choose the most suitable clothes for a 188cm tall boy?
A: Of course, try various methods!
So, as soon as Qin Qingqing arrived on the third floor, she quickly picked out a lot of clothes...including but not limited to: gentleman style, motorcycle style, and college style clothes.
And stuffed it all into Lu Liye's arms, his eyes were full of stars!
"Go, go, go~"
"Try it for Mama Kang Kang!"
Lu Liye was stunned.
No matter what, I can't refuse Qin Qingqing like this...
He almost walked into the fitting room with his hands and feet together.
Qin Qingqing walked to the shoe area with great interest.
Anyway, it will take some time for the older child to change his clothes.
Why don't she go and match shoes for him?
Qin rubbed his hands gently.
Suddenly, I felt like I was playing a real-life dress-up game...
but!
The one who is "changing clothes" is her big son!
I wonder if Liye is satisfied with the clothes she picked?
Qin Qingqing picked up a pair of men's leather shoes while thinking.
"this……"
"It goes well with that little suit, doesn't it?"
She murmured.
I vaguely scanned the side and saw a shopping guide hurried over.
The man was busy talking -
"Ma'am, are you buying shoes for the boys in your family?"
"These shoes go really well with a suit..."
The salesperson's words caught me off guard and I paused.
Only then did Qin Qingqing realize something was wrong.
She looked up and saw a familiar face.
"Lin Yuhang?"
She raised her eyebrows slightly.
I glanced at my watch again subconsciously.
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
It was the time when the middle school students were in class.
So, did he drop out of school to work?
Or working as a shopping guide in a building owned by Luk Group?
"Husband, Madam..."
Lin Yuhang smiled awkwardly.
But deep down, I felt very uncomfortable.
lady?
Does he still need to call her "Madam" now?
Wasn’t his mother, Lin An, fired by her?
Yes, it is still used.
Even though his mother was fired by Qin Qingqing, he still has to call Qin Qingqing "Madam".
Because Qingyun Building is a property under the Lu family.
and……
His mother works here now.
Lin Yuhang came to this conclusion.
He was silent.
I subconsciously wanted to pick up my black-framed glasses, but I realized that I had taken them off because I had to cover for my mother for a day.
He had no choice but to put his hand down again.
He gritted his teeth and put on a smile.
"Are you here to buy shoes for the young master?"
"Then this pair of shoes is very suitable for him..."
Qin Qingqing watched Lin Yuhang promote the products quietly.
Her eyes then moved across his cheeks when he wasn't wearing glasses - sure enough, when he wasn't wearing glasses, he looked like a well-behaved, polite, and elegant young man; there was no "cowardice" at all.
Is this what he really looks like?
yes.
Not entirely.
He still had a fake smile on his face.
He perfectly hid his resentment towards Qin Qingqing.
However, this has nothing to do with Qin Qingqing.
She just watched Lin Yuhang promote the products with a smile.
And after he got dry-mouthed...
Just throw the shoes to him.
"Oh, wrap it up."
When she said this, she didn't even look at Lin Yuhang.
"...Yes, ma'am."
Lin Yuhang's face twisted violently for a moment.
And Qin Qingqing?
I have already left leisurely...
Off to the next shoe store to do some shopping.
Similarly, leather shoes, sneakers, sports shoes... Qin Qingqing picked them all out for Lu Liye.
Surrounded by the shop assistants, she returned to the clothing area.
"Put your things down and you can leave now! Thank you for your hard work."
She said lightly.
The shop assistants left one after another.
Lin Yuhang left with the other employees just like that...
He felt even more aggrieved!
Why haven't he and his mother escaped yet?
Couldn't escape: the fate of being used as a servant by Qin Qingqing.
Damn!
Over there, Lin Yuhang, who was filling in for his mother, was furious.
But even if he was no longer able to be furious, he had to endure it - he couldn't ruin his mother's plan.
And here——
Lu Liye had already changed his clothes and came out.
The white shirt and the well-cut suit make him look refined and noble, like a handsome prince in a fairy tale.
The prince came out of the fitting room.
He was wearing sneakers.
Even if this pair of sneakers is AJ, it would still be very discordant!
Qin Qingqing laughed "Haha".
I met Lu Liye's blank gaze...
She couldn't help but rubbed her boy's soft hair again.
He was also given a pair of leather shoes.
"Go ahead, try this, huh?"
"oh……"
The eldest son turned around in confusion but obediently and changed his shoes.
Qin Qingqing waited outside obediently.
she……
I am still very curious: How did Lin Yuhang come to work in Qingyun Building during class time?
She thought about it.
He waved and called the building manager away, then went to a remote corner to question him.
The person in charge started to mutter to himself at that time, and then he complained to Qin!
Qin Qingqing understood what the person in charge said——
Lin Yuhang came here to "fill in for his mother".
His mother, Lin An, was forced into the family by Du Miaoyi and Lu Bai's aunt.
Why Du Miaoyi asked Selinan to come in, the person in charge didn't know.
But according to the person in charge:
Lin An hasn't been to work on time for several days since he was stuffed into Qingyun Building by Du Miaoyi.
He and the building employees have been dissatisfied with Lin An's frequent absences from work for a long time!
Just yesterday, they gave Lin An an ultimatum - if she didn't go to work, they would fire her according to the company's regulations!
Then, Lin An asked her son, Lin Yuhang, to take over the shift.
She moved Du Miaoyi again and asked her to support her waist.
The person in charge of the building had no choice but to put up with Lin An's outrageous behavior.
But he couldn't figure it out!
not understand……
"Although Lin An was personally hired by Ms. Du, his position is just an ordinary shopping guide."
"Why would Ms. Du allow an ordinary shopping guide to violate the regulations?"
"You don't understand?"
Qin raised her eyebrows in surprise and hooked her finger at the person in charge.
The person in charge smelled something big at that moment!
He was all ears.
Then I heard Qin Qingqing's helpless voice——
"If you don't understand, then I don't understand even more!"
"If you want to eat big melons, go somewhere else."
The person in charge smiled awkwardly.
I haven't had time to laugh yet...
Then Mrs. Lu changed the subject again!
"But I advise you: it's best not to keep Lin An working in the building."
Qin Qingqing has already said this.
The person in charge understood immediately!
"have to!"
"I'm going to fire her now!"
"Anyway, she's already broken the rules hundreds of times."
The person in charge smiled tactfully when he said this.
Actively change the topic——
"Madam, do you think this dress is suitable for the young master? Do you want me to choose other clothes for him?"
"Um."
Qin Qingqing took the clothes handed to him by the person in charge and responded softly.
Over there, Lu Liye had already left the fitting room alone and was looking around in a daze.
"Leaving the Wild——"
Qin Qingqing walked forward with a smile and looked at him again.
"Not bad, I can wear this to my birthday party tomorrow."
Next to him, the person in charge was also very cooperative.
"More than good?"
"Young Master is a natural clothes hanger!"
"I wonder how many little girls will be attracted to me if I wear this outfit..."
Lu Liye blinked uncomfortably.
At that time, I didn’t know how many shop assistants looked at me!
Nothing else——
The little prince in the fairy tale finally put on clothes that suit him.
The clothes make him look tall and slender!
So ah!
The prince's elegance, nobility, handsomeness and arrogance could no longer be hidden.
It attracted everyone's amazing attention!
The little prince left the country, not yet used to this kind of attention.
He was about to frown subconsciously.
But then I thought of Qin Qingqing’s words - wrinkles will make you age.
He doesn't want to get old.
When I get older, I won't have the strength to protect her...
He walked silently in the direction of Qin Qingqing.
Qin smiled gently.
"Forget it, just pack this dress and don't try it on."
"You don't have to try the ones I just picked out; they'll all be packed up and sent to Lu's villa."
"Yes, ma'am."
The store manager and the person in charge agreed one after another.
And Qin Qingqing?
Already brought Lu back home from the wild.
