Chapter 264 Thousands of Threads and Silk



"Did Yun Yan stay at your house that night?" The leader's questions became straightforward.

"No." Lin Qingping was not afraid of Liu Yan's nonsense and framing. This was something that could be explained clearly.

She recounted the entire incident word for word. As for evidence, she couldn't produce any as there was no surveillance at that time. However, every word she said was true.

"That's the fact." Lin Qingping was very calm and not afraid at all.

She was telling the truth, and those who tell the truth are not afraid.

Moreover, since the investigation is about Yun Yan and her, it is impossible to ask only her. As for where Yun Yan went that night and why he didn't go home, it is his job to explain, and he is also the one who should provide evidence.

The leader exchanged glances with the young officer beside him and nodded.

The young officer closed the notebook.

"Comrade Lin, this is the end of our conversation today. Thank you for your cooperation." The leader stood up and said.

"Chief!" Lin Qingping couldn't help but shout when he saw them about to leave.

The leader stopped and looked at her.

Lin Qingping suddenly didn't know why she called them. She just felt that when they were about to leave, thousands of threads and silk suddenly emerged in her heart and tied to them, and they became longer and longer as they were about to leave.

The leader was very patient and waited for her to speak. He was a generation older than her and the look in his eyes when he looked at her was as kind as an elder would look at a younger person.

Lin Qingping's eyes became hot and she choked in her throat, unable to say anything.

Should she ask: How is Gu Juncheng?

She smiled, hiding the discomfort in her eyes, "It's okay, Chief, take care."

The leader smiled, his eyes became more kind, "Don't worry, just study hard. We have to go through the investigation process, but we will do justice for you."

The smile on Lin Qingping's face froze because of these words.

"Go ahead, go to class." The leader smiled, motioned to the young officer, and the two left together.

Lin Qingping looked at their backs for a long time without moving.

She is no longer a military wife. Will the commander still do justice for her?

In the afternoon, Lin Qingping returned to the store, looking very worried.

"Lin Qingping." Someone called her.

From the voice, she knew it was Liang Jiaqi.

Liang Jiaqi's steak restaurant has been lukewarm in the past few years. It has not lost money, but it has not made much money either.

Just like in his previous life, he was not cut out for business. When it came to running a restaurant, his talent was far inferior to that of his uneducated father.

But, he is a good person.

Loyal, friendly, and passionate.

Take his steak restaurant for example, if he had invited fewer classmates to eat there, the business wouldn't be so bleak.

Liang Jiaqi has been particularly nice to her recently.

"Lin Qingping!" He ran over with a smile on his face. "I have some particularly good snowflakes in my store today. Do you want to try them?"

"She's not free today." Gu Youlian's voice sounded behind Lin Qingping.

Liang Jiaqi's smile froze, "Sister Lian..."

Gu Youlian pulled Lin Qingping behind her and said, "It's Xiaomai's birthday today, so the bottle is not empty."

"Is... is that so?" Liang Jiaqi's smile came back to life. "Then why don't you come to my restaurant? I'll treat you. Xiaomai likes the steaks I make the most."

"No need, we've already bought the vegetables, all of which are Xiaomai's favorites. Thank you!" Gu Youlian was still very polite and pulled Lin Qingping back into the store.

Lin Qingping saw disappointment on Liang Jiaqi's face.

Gu Youlian's attitude towards Liang Jiaqi has changed a lot recently.

Originally he treated him as his younger brother, and their store was a close neighbor. Following the old custom that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, he took good care of this boy who studied far away from home. But now, when he saw Liang Jiaqi, he looked at him as if he were a weasel, afraid that he would take away his chickens.

Lin Qingping knew what Gu Youlian was thinking.

It seems that everyone knows that she and Gu Juncheng are divorced. Even Liang Jiaqi somehow found out about it, which is why he has been so enthusiastic about her recently.

Lin Qingping also knew that she was drunk that day and cursed a man, thinking he was Gu Juncheng. That man was Liang Jiaqi.

The day after she got drunk, which was also the day Liu Yan came to her door to make trouble, she went to the store later and Liang Jiaqi brought her a can of stomach-nourishing soup.

Liang Jiaqi's thoughts were very obvious.

After Lin Qingping followed Gu Youlian into the store, she couldn't help but ask Gu Youlian, "Is Xiaomai's birthday today?"

She remembered not.

Gu Youlian glanced at her and said, "No, I apologized to you. I lied."

"Why?" Lin Qingping was asking the question even though she knew the answer.

Gu Youlian hesitated for a long time before saying, "Pingzi, I'm going to tell you the truth. No matter what happens between you and Chengzi, I am still your biological sister."

Seeing Lin Qingping still looking at her, Gu Youlian sighed, "I can't control you and Chengzi anyway, but...wait a minute? You are still a student, and today, people from Chengzi's unit came to investigate. Why don't you wait until you graduate? Whatever you do after graduation, I will never care about you again."

Lin Qingping hugged Gu Youlian and called her "sister", but the rest of the words were choked in her throat.

"Pingzi..." Gu Youlian's face also showed a depressed look, "Our Gu family feels so ashamed of you."

Lin Qingping hugged Gu Youlian and shook her without saying anything.

Yun family.

Yun Yan was packing up early in the morning.

"Yun Yan, take me to the store." Liu Yan came out after washing up and said as she walked. As a result, she saw that Yun Yan had already put a few clothes in the suitcase.

"Are you going on a business trip?" Liu Yan asked him.

Yun Yan's face was filled with gloom. "No."

Liu Yan didn't pay any attention to Yun Yan's expression. She was just very happy. "Yun Yan, I heard from someone that your position is going to be moved up again?"

Yun Yan sneered.

"What's wrong with you?" Liu Yan leaned against him, twisted her body, and was very happy. "This is a good thing! Soon, I will be on an equal footing with those ladies. I don't want them to show off in front of me anymore!"

Yun Yan closed the suitcase, picked it up and left. Liu Yan leaned on him and almost fell.

"Yun Yan!" Liu Yan called him loudly, "Where are you going?"

"Let's go stay at grandpa's place for a while." Yun Yan hurried downstairs carrying the suitcase.

Why go to the countryside again!

The place she hates the most!

"Take me to the store!" Liu Yan chased after him, "Aren't you going to work?"

Yun Yan stopped walking, but turned his back to her and said, "I don't know if I will have classes in the future."

Liu Yan was shocked, "What do you mean?"

"It means exactly what it says." Yun Yan went out, opened the car door, and threw the suitcase into the car.

"Yun Yan!" Liu Yan chased after him, "Speak clearly, what do you mean? Aren't you going to be promoted?"
