While the two were talking, Lu Qingqing's cell phone rang. It was Gong Xu calling.
Gong Xu said that his mother wanted to see her and asked her if she had time to go there in the afternoon.
Lu Qingqing thought that Mrs. Gong was familiar with her mother, so she wanted to know more about her mother from her.
So she agreed.
At noon, Lu Qingqing left Huo Yifei for lunch.
Huo Yifei said that after Halloween, he wanted to send Lu Qingqing to his grandfather's house to raise the baby.
Firstly, having his grandfather take care of her could at least ensure Lu Qingqing's safety. He was worried that some people in the Huo family would take the opportunity to harm Lu Qingqing. Secondly, he didn't want the outside world to know about Lu Qingqing's pregnancy, for fear of causing trouble and obstacles to her future development.
.
"Grandpa?" Lu Qingqing felt very cordial when he heard the word "grandpa", "Grandpa, does he know me?"
"I told him last night that he would send someone to pick you up today. I said he was too impatient, and he even scolded me." Huo Yifei said with a smile.
Lu Qingqing's heart warmed, "Where does grandpa live?"
"He lives in Philadelphia. It's very close to here. He can be there in a few hours." Huo Yifei introduced Lu Qingqing to his grandfather's house.
Grandpa Qing Shichang used to be a state legislator, and now he is retired and enjoying his old age at home. He has four children in total. Lu Qingqing's mother is the eldest, and he has three younger brothers.
Lu Qingqing's eldest uncle Qing Wenmo is a university professor, his second uncle Qing Wenhao is a federal agent, and his third uncle Qing Wenyuan is a painter.
"So my grandpa's family is not in business?" Lu Qingqing thought that someone who could marry into the Huo family was also in business.
Huo Yifei shook his head, "That's why grandpa didn't agree with my mother marrying into the Huo family at first. He said that businessmen value profits and put interests first in everything. He was afraid that my mother would be wronged."
"It's not unreasonable for grandpa to think so." At this point, Lu Qingqing was deeply touched.
She has been in the United States for such a long time, and her eldest brother has not said anything about taking her home to meet her parents. But as soon as her grandfather heard about it, he was going to pick her up.
Compared with profit-seeking businessmen, ordinary people are more humane.
After lunch, Huo Yifei left.
In the afternoon, Lu Qingqing came to Mrs. Gong's apartment, and Gong Xu was waiting for her in the living room.
He was wearing a white suit and was sitting on the sofa in the living room. There was a stack of documents in front of him, which seemed to be the financial statements of the shipping company.
He asked Lu Qingqing to sit down and asked someone to pour her a cup of coffee.
"Where's Madam Gong?" Lu Qingqing asked.
"My mother is sleeping. When she wakes up, I will take you up."
After saying that, he picked up the financial report on the table and read it, but the more he looked at it, the tighter his brows became.
He didn't know who gave his father this bad idea and insisted on letting him see these things.
Lu Qingqing had finished his cup of coffee, but Gong Xu was still looking at it.
In the end, he was so angry that he threw the report on the table.
"What is all this? I can't understand it." In fact, it's not that Gong Xu doesn't understand it at all, he just has no patience. In addition, he suspects that this matter is caused by Miyano's lover, and the purpose is to make him...
Miyano made a fool of himself in front of him, so the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
"Can you show it to me?" Lu Qingqing glanced at it, it should be the company's financial report.
"Do you understand?" Gong Xu looked at Lu Qingqing suspiciously.
"I studied finance in college," Lu Qingqing said.
Gong Xu couldn't help laughing.
"This is the United States. Do you understand American finances?"
"I used to work at Feifan Company specializing in serving multinational groups. Do you think I understand?" Lu Qingqing didn't care at all about Gong Xu's doubts, because the best way to retaliate against doubts is to speak with strength.
Gong Xu handed the financial report to Lu Qingqing with hesitation, "Then you can take a look at it for me."
Lu Qingqing took the financial report, a thick pile, and she read it in less than ten minutes.
Before Gong Xu finished half the glass of wine, Lu Qingqing pushed over the financial report.
Gong Xu sneered: "How is it? You can't understand, right?"
"This financial report is a false financial report. There are many errors in it, and I have marked them all."
When Gong Xu heard this, he immediately opened the financial report and found the mistakes Lu Qingqing mentioned.
The more I watched, the angrier I became.
"The person doing the financial report probably did this on purpose. It depends on whether you can spot it."
Then Lu Qingqing explained every mistake to Gong Xu again.
After hearing this, Gong Xu's face turned frighteningly cold, and he said that the woman had no good intentions.
Thanks to Lu Qingqing, otherwise he would have been so embarrassed this time.
"Thank you for helping me a lot today." The advantage of Gong Xu is that he corrects his mistakes and does not take face so seriously.
This is different from Huo Xuancheng. Maybe Huo Xuancheng grew up in a harsh environment. When others were harsh on him, he was also harsh on himself, so he was not allowed to make mistakes, or even if he made a mistake, he would not admit it.
.
"You're welcome. Can you go upstairs and see if Mrs. Gong is awake later?" Lu Qingqing was a little anxious.
"Okay, I'll let someone go up and take a look." Gong Xu sent a servant up to the second floor.
After what happened just now, Gong Xu completely changed his view of Lu Qingqing.
Being able to discover traps deliberately dug by others in such a short period of time. He felt that Lu Qingqing's knowledge and ability were no worse than any of the Huo family.
In fact, he knew in his heart that the Huo family really couldn't find anyone better than Huo Xuancheng's generation.
Especially the uncles in Huo Xuancheng, who fight all day long, know how to calculate the little capital of the Huo family, and have no intention of making progress at all.
In Gong Xu's view, the Huo family was in decline, and the little money accumulated by the ancestors was almost wiped out by these unlearned children and grandchildren who could only conspire and scheme.
Therefore, Gong Xu also started to think about the Huo Group. What he had been planning was to unite with the Du family to eat up the Huo family.
But at present, it seems that if you can marry Lu Qingqing and disintegrate the Huo family from within, it may be faster.
The servant came down quickly and said that the palace lady was not awake yet.
Lu Qingqing said she didn't want to wait any longer.
Gong Xu was very sorry and insisted on sending Lu Qingqing home.
Little did they know, two uninvited guests were coming to Lu Qingqing's home.
Cheng Mo checked for a long time and finally found out that the owner of the phone number was indeed named Rhea.
At the same time, it was also found that the address registered with that number was a manor belonging to the Huo family.
Sheng Mingxi couldn't wait to bring Cheng Mo to the manor.
Just then, Lu Haizhou was practicing walking in the yard.
The servant told him that two people came to see Rhea.
Lu Haizhou was shocked and quickly called a maid to pretend to be Ruiya, and then invited Sheng Mingxi and Cheng Mo in.
Seeing Lu Haizhou again, Sheng Mingxi had mixed feelings.
"This house is so big, who do you live with?" Sheng Mingxi looked around and saw no one except a maid.
Because Halloween is coming soon, some servants asked for leave and went home. Xiao Yunze was also picked up by someone sent by Fu Qinian this morning.
"I live by myself." Lu Haizhou's palms were sweaty. He felt that Sheng Mingxi's eyes were too sharp, and he always felt like he was about to be exposed.
"Have you heard about your sister?" Sheng Mingxi asked.
Lu Haizhou nodded, "I heard about it."
Sheng Mingxi frowned slightly.
Logically speaking, Lu Haizhou should not be sad when Lu Qingqing is mentioned, but his expression is clearly more scared.
