Chapter 62
The elevator door slowly opened before her eyes, and Gu Qingyue followed the person in front of her and stepped into the elevator. She sighed softly, remembering the unpleasant conversation she had with Song Xiaoshu ten minutes ago.
Gu Qingyue leaned her shoulders against the elevator wall. She looked down at her phone, wondering whether she should ask Gu Hengsheng. But then she thought that if she did, it would seem that she was impatient and was being led by Song Xiaoshu.
The elevator reached the fifth floor. Gu Qingyue stepped out when her phone rang. The caller ID showed it was her mother. Gu Qingyue's heart tightened, and she felt inexplicably nervous. She pressed the answer button and walked down the long hallway. She called out, "Mom."
Mother Gu said in a normal tone: "Are you up?"
Gu Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, it's up."
"When do you plan to return to Huai City?" asked Gu's mother.
Gu Qingyue hesitated: "Maybe it will take a few days. What's wrong, Mom?"
There was silence on the other end for a few seconds, and then Mother Gu said casually, "Qingyue, your third uncle called me."
Gu Qingyue's heart skipped a beat and she took a deep breath: "Mom, I'm sorry."
"Why are you apologizing for no reason?" Mother Gu smiled and said softly, "Qingyue, I don't mean to interfere with you. I just hope you're healthy and happy."
Gu Qingyue reached into her bag to take out the room card, but couldn't find it. She leaned against the door, staring at the emergency exit sign in the corner, and said, "Mom, I like him very much."
Mother Gu said, "Yes, Mom knows."
Gu Qingyue was somewhat surprised by her mother's reaction and said, "Mom, don't you object?"
Mother Gu smiled and said, "During the time you were abroad, I had a talk with your third uncle. I thought you might just not have received much care from your father since you were a child, so you were a little confused about the situation. Since your third uncle accepted it, I won't say much. When you were little, I used to wonder what kind of person your future partner would be. If it was Hengsheng, I would be relieved. But Qingyue, you have to know that in a family like the Gu family, being with Hengsheng, you're bound to hear some unpleasant things. Have you thought about that?"
Gu Qingyue held the phone and slowly squatted down. She hugged her knees and said, "I understand, Mom, don't worry."
Mother Gu said with relief: "Okay, Mom will wait for you to come back."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Qingyue squatted for a while until her calves felt numb. Then she stood up with the help of the wall and reached into her bag to search, but still couldn't find the room card. Gu Qingyue sighed softly, and her cell phone rang again. It was Gu Hengsheng calling.
Gu Qingyue pressed the answer button, and Gu Hengsheng said, "Have you arrived at the hotel?"
"We're here." Gu Qingyue turned around and glanced at the closed door in frustration, "But I left my room card with you. I'm so stupid."
There was his helpless chuckle on the other end, which Gu Qingyue caught sensitively. She said in a surprised tone: "You are making fun of me"
"No." Gu Hengsheng said gently, "I'll ask Wenkui to pick you up. Can we have lunch together at the company this afternoon?"
Gu Qingyue shook her head. "Assistant Jiang just dropped me off at the hotel. It doesn't seem right to ask him to come again. I'll hail a car myself. Tell me the address."
Gu Hengsheng smiled and said, "Qingyue, this is just his job, you don't need to worry about it."
Gu Qingyue was stunned for a moment, somewhat surprised by his somewhat stern attitude. Perhaps it was because he always treated her with a gentle side that she forgot he wasn't actually a kind person. Gu Qingyue didn't feel disappointed, but she felt that his indulgence towards her in private and his strictness towards his subordinates, these two extreme sides, truly fascinated and impressed her.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Gu Hengsheng raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why don't you say anything?"
Gu Qingyue said: "I just found that no matter which side of you, I am fascinated by it."
"Qingyue, you have to know that if you listen to nice things too many times, you'll get used to them." Gu Hengsheng said, "I'm afraid that if we spend too much time together, you'll be disappointed in the future."
"How could that be?" Gu Qingyue disagreed and asked him, "Or will you get tired of me in the future?"
"I probably won't bother you in this lifetime." Gu Hengsheng said, "Qingyue, I'm a generation older than you. If you find out later that I'm not as good as you thought, you'll have a chance, but I probably can only be with you."
"I think you're in your forties, fifties, or sixties, and you're quite popular among young girls," Gu Qingyue said. "You're incredibly charming."
"But she's not the girl I want," he said.
Gu Qingyue walked out of the hotel holding her phone, feeling as if she had a candy in her mouth, which melted between her lips and teeth, and the sweetness spread all the way to her heart. She said, "I didn't expect you to say sweet words."
"It's from the bottom of my heart," he said.
Someone called him from the other end of the line. It seemed to be Jiang Wenkui's voice. Gu Qingyue said hurriedly, "Go ahead and do your work."
"We're here, contact Wen Kui."
"good."
Gu Qingyue opened her phone and used the taxi app to call a car. The hotel was half an hour's drive from Gu Hengsheng's company. Gu Qingyue arrived at the destination in the time it took to listen to a few songs.
She paid and got off the car. When she approached the revolving door, she just reached the front desk and saw Jiang Wenkui coming out of the elevator and walking towards her: “Ms. Gu, Mr. Gu asked me to come down to pick you up.”
Gu Qingyue smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I was just about to call you."
Jiang Wenkui smiled slightly and led Gu Qingyue to the elevator. Gu Qingyue said, "I hope I didn't disturb your work."
Jiang Wenkui: "Whatever Mr. Gu tells me to do is my job."
Gu Qingyue suddenly laughed. Jiang Wenkui looked at her doubtfully. Gu Qingyue explained softly, "Don't get me wrong. He said the same thing just now."
Jiang Wenkui nodded in understanding.
Jiang Wenkui took Gu Qingyue to Gu Hengsheng's office and said, "I'll go get busy first. Mr. Gu is still in a meeting. You can do whatever you want."
Gu Qingyue nodded. Just as Jiang Wenkui left the office, a tall woman came in and handed her a cup of hot water. Gu Qingyue could sense a hint of scrutiny in her eyes, but she didn't inquire further. She simply put the cup down and said, "Your water."
Gu Qingyue thanked him softly.
Gu Qingyue picked up the cup and took a sip of water. The office door was pushed open again. Gu Qingyue looked up and saw Gu Linsheng standing outside the door. Seeing Gu Qingyue in the office, his face was full of surprise, but he soon understood what was going on. He said, "You're back?"
"Yes, Fourth Uncle."
Gu Linsheng asked, "Where's Hengsheng?"
"In a meeting."
Gu Linsheng didn't say much and left the office quickly.
An hour later, Gu Hengsheng returned. Gu Qingyue said, "Fourth Uncle was here just now."
"I know." Gu Hengsheng nodded, looked at her again, and said, "Did he say anything?"
"What can I say?" Gu Qingyue asked knowingly.
Gu Hengsheng smiled and didn't ask any more questions. Jiang Wenkui came in, reported some things to Gu Hengsheng, and then left. Gu Hengsheng said, "Are you going to have lunch in the office this afternoon?"
"Okay." Gu Qingyue agreed happily and added, "My mother just called me. Did she talk to you before I left the country?"
"Yes." Gu Hengsheng stood up from behind his desk and walked over to the sofa opposite her and sat down. He seemed to have remembered something, and his tone was rarely filled with helplessness and a headache. "That was probably the most difficult conversation I've ever had to deal with."
Gu Qingyue smiled: "My mother is actually very easy to get along with."
Gu Hengsheng continued, "Uncle Song invited me to have dinner at his house the day after tomorrow. Do you want to go?"
Gu Qingyue looked at him, and Gu Hengsheng asked, "What's wrong?"
"Song Xiaoshu came to me this morning and told me about this." Gu Qingyue said.
"So you want to go?"
"I'm afraid that if I go, Song Xiaoshu might embarrass us." Gu Qingyue said worriedly.
"I'll take care of it." Gu Hengsheng comforted her.
