Gao Jing was wearing a red down jacket. She was petite and wrapped entirely in the jacket, looking delicate and fragile.

Ji Ling didn't pay much attention to Gao Jing on weekdays, but from the few times they met, she found that Gao Jing was acting more and more like a spoiled child.

There is nothing wrong with this. Men like to protect the weak.

Ji Ling withdrew her gaze indifferently, held the teacup in her hand, and drank the tea slowly. She saw Hua Xiaoyu walking towards her out of the corner of her eye.

"Xiaoling." Hua Xiaoyu rubbed his hands in front of him, and spoke hesitantly, "I happened to meet Gao Jing on the road, so I asked her to come with me. Don't be angry if I didn't say hello to you first. I apologize to you first."

Ji Ling then looked up. Hua Xiaoyu was half-bending his body. When she looked over, he immediately raised the corners of his mouth and smiled at Ji Ling. The smile seemed fake and forced.

He didn't dare to look into her eyes and kept dodging left and right, like an elementary school student who had made a mistake and was being punished by the teacher to stand in the corner.

Hua Xiaoyu came from a high family, but he always behaved very well in front of Ji Ling.

When Ji Ling received his call today, she knew what he meant. Now seeing that he was smiling all the time, Ji Ling didn't want to embarrass him anymore.

"You treat, you can invite whoever you want, I have no objection."

"You can't say that. After all, I'm inviting you to dinner, and I have to make you happy." Hua Xiaoyu felt as if a stone had been thrown off his body. He straightened his back briskly, but was afraid that Ji Ling would regret it after saying this, so he turned around and asked Gao Jing to sit down. "Sit down, I'll go order the food."

Hua Xiaoyu nodded to Gao Jing and went out.

Ji Ling was fiddling with the teacup in her hand. Even without looking at Gao Jing opposite her, she could feel that Gao Jing was looking at her.

In the room, there was the faint sound of Gao Jing taking off her coat, and then everything became quiet again.

Ji Ling didn't care. She came here today just to take the challenge and also wanted to see what Gao Jing wanted to do.

"Ji Ling." Gao Jing cleared her throat and called out.

Ji Ling raised her eyelids to look at her, and she continued, "I'm sorry about your husband."

Ji Ling didn't respond.

Gao Jing didn't understand why she always felt her scalp tingling when Ji Ling looked at her like that. "Ji Ling, Gu Baoshan has been in a bad mood since he came home. Although he has been avoiding me, the phone charges at home have been very high these days. I checked and they all called the same number. They were all calls from Gu Baoshan to Lian Qizhen while I was at work."

"Gu Baoshan and Lian Qizhen are together."

Gao Jing finished speaking in one breath and found that Ji Ling was still indifferent. "Yes, you should know all this. The higher-ups are investigating and suspect that Gu Baoshan did this because Zhu Weidong discovered what they did."

At the end, Gao Jing laughed at herself, with a slight smile on her lips.

It turns out that people like Gu Baoshan would also have problems with their work style.

Gao Jing has always been arrogant. In her marriage with Gu Baoshan, she has always looked down on Gu Baoshan. As a result, this man whom she looked down upon has now caused such a big trouble.

When she first heard it, she was angry, and even after Gu Baoshan came back, she pointed at people and cursed them. But after slowly calming down, she suddenly felt that this might be a good thing.

The corner of Ji Ling's mouth twitched, and Gao Jing saw it clearly. Otherwise, she would have thought she was dazzled. Although it was fleeting, she still saw clearly the flash of sarcasm.

She pursed her lips, "You don't believe me? I'm not doing this to help you, of course, but for myself. No woman can accept that her husband has a problem with his behavior. Gu Baoshan and I are both from the mountains. He has only been working for a few years, but he thinks he is a city dweller and even dares to betray his marriage. He doesn't take me seriously, so why should I care about him?"

"Ji Ling, you haven't said anything. Do you not believe me?"

Ji Ling put the cup on the table. She leaned back in her chair and looked straight over. Gao Jing's head was right at the edge of the cup, as if her head was connected to the cup.

Ji Ling raised the corners of her lips. Gao Jing asked her again, and then she looked at Gao Jing's face.

"They don't need to prove that they're together. You're not doing me any good by doing this, are you?"

Gao Jing was stunned for a moment. She pursed her lips, looking disapproving, but couldn't find any reason to refute. She looked at Ji Ling with dissatisfaction.

Ji Ling said, "Gao Jing, you always treat others as children. You think they will believe you if you say they are helping you or doing it for your own good. So what if you report them and prove that they have problems with their work style? At the construction site, they both admitted that they had a relationship. You are now adding unnecessary details and trying to take credit for it. What do you want to do?"

Gao Jing's lips trembled slightly. "I really want to help you. Your husband's accident must be caused by these two people. Don't you want to find evidence? As long as I stand up and tell them that they have been in contact, and the Zhu family puts pressure on them secretly, they will definitely lose their patience and think of other ways. They will reveal their tracks, and maybe we can find out where they hid your husband."

"My husband is not hidden by them." Ji Ling interrupted her. She sat up straight and looked at Gao Jing coldly. "I don't care what you want to use me for. I'll only say this once. You got the wrong person. Also, don't let me hear you mention my husband or anything about him in the future."

"Something's happened to someone. You have to face the reality. What's the use of running away now?" Gao Jing's voice became weaker and weaker, and her eyes were too timid to meet Ji Ling's gaze.

Ji Ling said coldly, "You asked Hua Xiaoyu to ask me out today. Have you finished what you wanted to say?"

"I didn't ask him to make an appointment with you. He wanted to help himself." Gao Jing didn't want to bow her head in front of Ji Ling.

Ji Ling sneered, "Hua Xiaoyu is so stupid."

He lost his own face, offended people and stood up to help her, only to receive a sentence in the end that he was happy with it.

It's really pitiful, but he deserves it.

It's entirely your own fault.

Ji Ling stood up and said, "You two can eat."

Ji Ling left suddenly. When she reached the door and opened it, Hua Xiaoyu, who was eavesdropping, had no time to dodge and fell inside.

Ji Ling moved lightly to the side. Hua Xiaoyu staggered a few steps and held on to the table before he could stand firm.

He didn't care about these things and turned back to stop Ji Ling, "Xiao Ling, go back after dinner."

Such a big person was missing today, and he heard the conversation between the two people in the room. He really didn't know that this was what Gao Jing wanted to say.

He thought Gao Jing came to apologize.
