Ji Ling hadn't seen Gu Baoshan for some time. It was not until Gu Baoshan came over and greeted her that Ji Ling recognized him.
Gu Baoshan had shed the elegance he had in school and looked capable and steady. He greeted Ji Ling, chatted with her for a few more words, and also talked about Meng Wenbin, Hua Xiaoyu and others.
Ji Ling knew something about Meng Wenbin's situation. "He was also involved in Miao Man's business. I heard that he usually took a lot of leave. As for Hua Xiaoyu, I didn't contact him usually, and I don't know his situation."
"Hua Xiaoyu has let Miao Man down in the marriage, and he doesn't have the face to see us." Gu Baoshan didn't say anything more, "Xiaoling, let's talk another day. I won't disturb you and Engineer Zhu."
Gu Baoshan nodded and left.
After seeing him leave, Ji Ling asked Zhu Weidong in a low voice, "Didn't you say he wouldn't leave this time?"
"I don't know what the situation is." Zhu Weidong said, "If you are curious, I will ask about it later."
"No need." Ji Ling was not curious, she just happened to meet Gu Baoshan and asked casually. When she raised her eyes, she saw Gu Baoshan going back and standing with Lian Qizhen.
Gu Baoshan took the bag from Lian Qizhen's hand with natural movements, as if he had done it many times.
Ji Ling raised her eyebrows. Seeing that his wife was distracted, Zhu Weidong turned around and saw Gu Baoshan and Lian Qizhen standing together.
Zhu Weidong frowned.
Several of the engineers selected this time were screened by him, and he was also very curious as to why Lian Qizhen appeared here.
"It's almost time, you should go." Ji Ling looked at the time and urged him.
Zhu Weidong couldn't bear to leave his wife, so he walked away looking back every few steps.
He was good-looking and tall, and he kept looking back as he walked, reluctant to leave, making him very eye-catching in the crowd.
Zhu Weidong's actions also attracted the attention of Gu Baoshan and Lian Qizhen who were talking over there.
Across the moving crowd, Ji Ling's eyes met Lian Qizhen's. Ji Ling did not look away, and Lian Qizhen did not avoid him either. Even though the two could not see each other's expressions clearly, Ji Ling knew that Lian Qizhen was looking at her.
In the end, it was Lian Qizhen who withdrew his gaze first.
"Sister-in-law, so domineering." Zhu Weiyue's voice sounded from behind.
Ji Ling watched Zhu Weidong get on the train and could no longer see him, so she looked away.
Turning around, he saw Niu Niu sleeping in Zhu Yaowu's arms. Zhu Yaowu was thoughtful and even put clothes on her.
"Let me hold her." Ji Ling took her daughter, and the others walked towards the car. "Your eldest brother came back earlier and said that Gu Baoshan would not go there again, which meant that he had found someone in private. I don't know why he went there again this time."
"When did Gu Baoshan and Lian Qizhen become so familiar with each other?" Zhu Yaowu also looked confused.
He and his sister-in-law went to the same school, so he naturally knew about the classmates and seniors that his sister-in-law was in contact with.
And he naturally knew the woman who was staring at his elder brother.
"The two look quite familiar." Ji Ling agreed with Zhu Yaowu's statement.
"I'll call my eldest brother later and ask him to be careful of those two." Zhu Yaowu is not a mean person.
Neither of them is a formal person, and now that they are together, who knows if they have bad intentions.
After returning home, it was too late, so Ji Ling carried her daughter upstairs to rest.
The next day, before going up, I sent my daughter to kindergarten. When I looked up, I saw Gao Jing.
Gao Jing had obviously seen Ji Ling a long time ago and came over to say hello, "Xiaoling, what a coincidence, your daughter also goes to kindergarten here?"
But he didn't answer her.
He openly expressed his alienated thoughts.
Gao Jing smiled, "Are you going to work? We're going in the same direction. Are you driving here? Would it be convenient for you to give me a ride?"
There were a lot of people at the entrance of the kindergarten. Ji Ling took a step forward and Gao Jing followed.
Ji Ling slowed down her pace, "What can I do for you?"
She didn't believe that Gao Jing couldn't see the difference in her expression, and couldn't tell from her previous distant tone that she must have something to talk to her about.
Gao Jing smiled and said, "Look at what you said. Do you have something to talk to you about? We were classmates. We were young back then and did a lot of immature things. Now that we are mothers, I look back and feel that I was very naive back then."
Gao Jing wanted to show her good intentions, but Ji Ling didn't want to associate with her.
"It has nothing to do with age. It's just that we don't get along well and are not suitable to be friends." Ji Ling looked down at her watch and said, "It's getting late. I'll leave first."
After saying this, Ji Ling nodded and strode away.
Gao Jing stood there with a warm smile on her face, watching Ji Ling get into the car. The car drove away until she was out of sight, and then the corners of her lips slowly fell.
After her husband came back, he was not at home every day. Gao Jing didn't know what he was busy with at work, and she wanted to ask but there was no one she knew.
Jiang Yihang has always kept his distance from her, and she has been running into obstacles everywhere at work these days. She vaguely guessed that it was the Jiang family who sent a message, warning her to stay away from Jiang Yihang.
Without Jiang Yihang and being estranged from Gu Baoshan, Gao Jing felt unsure, so she thought of finding out Gu Baoshan's situation at work.
She took the initiative to transfer her daughter to this kindergarten, knowing that she would run into obstacles in her contact with Ji Ling. However, she believed that with time and a lowered attitude, the relationship would improve.
Gao Jing adjusted her mood, hailed a car and went to work.
When Ji Ling arrived at the workplace, she unexpectedly ran into Lin Liying after getting off the car. There was a girl in her twenties beside her.
Ji Ling looked at her in surprise, then looked away and strode towards the office. She didn't want to say hello to Lin Liying, but Lin Liying also noticed her at this time.
"Stop."
Ji Ling didn't stop and continued to walk forward.
"My dear Zhu Weidong, please stop." Lin Liying shouted again.
When Zhu Weidong's name was called, Ji Ling stopped and looked back at him calmly, "What's the matter?"
Lin Liying had to shout twice before she managed to stop the man. Now, seeing that he acted in an unfamiliar manner, her rage grew even more intense.
"I told you not to marry someone from a small place. She really behaves like a little girl. She doesn't even know how to greet her elders. It shows that she has poor upbringing."
Ji Ling's face turned cold. "Comrade, I don't know you, and I don't know how you came to say that you are my elder. As for the question of upbringing, I think you should look at yourself first before you talk about others."
"Okay. Well said, remember what you said today and don't regret it." Lin Liying laughed in anger, looked at Ji Ling coldly, turned around, nodded to her daughter, and strode away.
She just believed that she couldn't deal with a stubborn girl from a small place.
Zhong Yali stared at the scene in a daze. She didn't pay attention to her mother, but focused all her attention on Ji Ling.
