Her pretty face turned white and her body trembled slightly. It turned out that they were afraid that they would entangle Gu Xichen.
Ling Yan smiled wryly at herself, how could she have the face to pester others?
She quietly returned to the guest room and sat on the sofa. She had to walk alone for the rest of the journey. The first thing she had to do was to find a job to solve the problem of food and clothing.
She didn't dare to go back to City A. The news of her parents' crime had spread throughout the city. Many people knew her, and she couldn't find a good job.
She decided to stay in city B and seek a chance to survive.
Someone came and knocked on the door. Ling Yan opened it and it was the maid from before.
"The old man and the old lady asked Miss Ling to come downstairs to talk."
"Okay." Ling Yan took a deep breath and followed the maid downstairs.
The antique hall downstairs shows the taste and financial resources of the owner. The old man and the old lady are wearing simple Chinese clothes and sitting on the sofa.
Gu Xichen was sitting next to him. When he saw Ling Yan, he waved.
Ling Yan walked over and greeted the two old men politely.
"Grandpa Gu, Grandma Gu, hello."
The two old men looked up at Ling Yan and nodded.
"Sit down. I have heard from Xi Chen what happened to you these past few days. I feel deeply sorry for what happened to your Ling family. Have you ever considered how you want to live your life in the future?" Although the old lady has passed her age,
He is seventy years old, but his spirit is cheerful and his eyes are shrewd.
"I have thought about it and decided to find a job and live a good life." Ling Yan smiled and replied.
"Well, no one wants something like this to happen. It's already good that you can face it with a strong and optimistic attitude." The old lady said with appreciation.
"My parents did something wrong. There's nothing to argue about. All I can do is accept the fact." Ling Yan said with a bitter smile.
"He is a sensible child." The old lady praised with a smile.
Ling Yan was confused inside, and what the maid said just now reminded her.
She raised her head and glanced at Gu Xichen. The man was sitting with his eyes lowered.
"Grandpa Gu, Grandma Gu, please stop the blind date between me and Mr. Gu. I have no plans to get married now. I am very grateful to Mr. Gu for his care and life-saving kindness these days. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely do it."
Repay him."
Ling Yan's words made the man who was sitting quietly with his eyes lowered suddenly raise his eyes, and a complex and obscure light surged in his eyes as deep as the sea.
The old lady and the old man secretly exchanged a look.
"Ling Yan, it's not that we are ungrateful, it's just that you will feel very uncomfortable when you encounter family changes. We will talk about marriage later. Grandma will find a good family for you..."
Gu Xichen stood up suddenly and said in a calm voice: "Grandpa, grandma, it's getting late. I'm sending Ling Yan away. You guys should have a rest early."
"Grandpa, grandma, goodbye." Ling Yan couldn't wait to leave here.
"Let Uncle Li send someone to see her off. You have been busy for so many days, so you should rest early." The old lady stopped Gu Xichen.
Gu Xichen frowned but did not persist.
Ling Yan's beautiful eyes quickly swept over the man, then turned around and followed Butler Li out.
After getting into the car, Ling Yan felt mixed emotions. Too many emotions were surging at that moment.
The car stopped in a residential complex, and Butler Li gave her a key: "Miss Ling, this is what the old lady ordered to give you. Here are the access cards and house keys."
Ling Yan was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and refused: "Thank you, Grandma Gu, for your kindness. I will find a place to live, so she doesn't have to worry."
"Miss Ling..."
Ling Yan had already turned around and left. She could not accept any help from the Gu family. All favors must be repaid in the end.
Ling Yan walked alone on the street in confusion, thinking of the black shop she encountered last time. This time Ling Yan spent money to find a better hotel, but she couldn't get a room because she didn't have an ID card.
Ling Yan had no choice but to find a small Internet cafe and asked for a small private room. Her petite body huddled on the sofa and she slept all night, leaving smelling of cigarette smoke.
Ling Yan currently has no ID card or academic certificate. She must complete all these documents before she can find a decent job.
So, she bought a bus ticket and returned to city A.
Ling Yan immediately called Qiao Momo.
When Qiao Momo rushed to her, she saw that she had lost a lot of weight. She hugged her tightly and said, "Yanyan, it would be nice if you came back. Do you know that I have always been with you?"
Worrying about you."
"Momo..." Ling Yan shouted, tears flowing down her face. In front of her friends, she no longer needed to hide her inner sadness or pretend to be strong. She just wanted to cry happily.
field.
"Don't cry, it's okay. Just come back." Qiao Momo was frightened and quickly wiped her tears, feeling very distressed.
While crying, Ling Yan told Qiao Momo what had happened recently.
"You and Mr. Gu don't plan to interact with each other anymore?" Qiao Momo asked in surprise.
"Well, the blind date didn't work out. Now I still owe him my life. I will definitely find an opportunity to repay him." Ling Yan said with sobs.
"Mr. Gu is quite a nice person. He saved your life and brought you back safely. It's time to thank him properly." Qiao Momo nodded in agreement.
"Momo, can you... lend me some money? I have no money now. When I find a job..."
"What do you mean by borrowing or not? Have you not helped me enough in the past? There is still 30,000 yuan in this card. You can use it without paying me back." Qiao Momo interrupted her friend and forced the card to her
In hand: "The password is my birthday, you know."
"Thank you, Momo." Ling Yan lowered her head and squeezed the card tightly, feeling sour in her heart.
"Okay, cheer up. If anything happens in the future, just ask me for help." Qiao Momo felt very uncomfortable seeing her friend's lonely expression.
She used to be a wealthy lady who spent a lot of money and never had to worry about food and clothing. Now, everything has to start from scratch, which is really difficult for her.
"Yeah." There was a glimmer of hope in Ling Yan's eyes: "I want to make good money and help my father pay off his debts."
"How much money does your dad still owe?" Qiao Momo asked distressedly.
"I don't know, I might not be able to pay it off in my lifetime." Ling Yan smiled bitterly.
"Then why don't you go somewhere else for a while and wait until this matter is over before you come back, otherwise, if someone catches you, you will be in trouble." Qiao Momo was startled and quickly advised her.
"I'm going to develop in city B. I don't dare to stay here anymore. People come to my door every day." Ling Yan was also scared.
"Okay, I have your ID card. It was sent here by the police after they took away the black shop. There is also your graduation certificate. I will also find a way to get it from the school and give it to you." Qiao Momo then thought of it.
this matter.
"Momo, it's lucky to have you, otherwise, I really don't know what to do." Ling Yan was overjoyed, took the ID card, and hugged Qiao Momo again.
"Okay, don't say these kind words. When you get to city B, please tell me that you are safe." Qiao Momo smiled, patted her back, and took her to the station in person.
Standing in the crowd, Qiao Momo waved to her. Ling Yan's eyes were red and she kept waving her hand.
Two good friends were forced to separate.
Qiao Momo wiped away her tears and drove back to the company. Mu Xiuhan went abroad for medical treatment, and Qiao Momo stayed in the company to design new works when she had free time.
At around nine o'clock in the evening, Qiao Momo came out of the company and walked to the parking lot. Suddenly, a black sports car stopped in front of her, and Ouyang Qing got out of the car.
