Chapter Forty-Three: The Night Meeting Mu Lian Seeks Help
Gu Tingcheng hesitated for a moment, clicked on the message, and there were only a few big words, but she couldn't help but shrink her pupils.
"Xu Jiaying, do you know each other?"
Gu Tingcheng immediately went back, "Know." β
After thinking about it, he quickly typed a few words on his mobile phone, "Who are you?" What happened to Jiaying? β
Thinking of the experience of being kidnapped a few days ago, my heart is not full of feelings. It's just that after waiting for a long time, Gu Qingcheng didn't wait for a reply.
Hurriedly flipped through the contacts on the mobile phone, found Xu Jiaying's number, and looked at the contact name of "master Xiao Shaoqing" under Xu Jiaying's name, Gu Tingcheng couldn't help but complain about "naΓ―ve", and continued the actions in his hand.
Pressed the dial button, the phone was quickly connected, listening to the "beep" sound on the phone, but no one answered, did Jiaying have an accident? Gu Qingcheng's heart was a little confused, she told herself to be calm, hung up the phone, and dialed it again. Still no one answered.
What to do? Gu Tingcheng was a little anxious in his heart, he wanted to stand up, and remembered the agreement between himself and Xiao Shaoqing, if she left, it was estimated that she would never be able to repair the relationship with him again. By the way, Feng Yiyi, the man who pestered Xu Jiaying in the bar, he must have a way to find Jiaying. But how can the man be notified? Gu Qingcheng suddenly made a difficulty.
When Gu Qingcheng was worried, he suddenly heard the servants passing by him say something, it seemed that the second young master of the Mu family was coming, and the housekeeper asked them to prepare dinner.
Hearing Mu Lian's name, Gu Qingcheng secretly rejoiced in his heart, he really helped her a lot when he came at the right time. She also wants to stay for dinner.
When the sun went down, it was also the time for dinner to begin, and Gu Qingcheng finally couldn't bear it anymore, got up from the ground, and ran towards the hall.
Before he stepped into the restaurant, he heard Xiao Shaoqing say sharply, "There are no rules, where did you come from, wild girl." β
Hearing Xiao Shaoqing's reprimand, Gu Tingcheng immediately stopped with one foot that wanted to step into the restaurant, looking at the people sitting at the table, neither in nor out.
"Come in and have dinner, Sister Gu." Snowfall was the first to open her mouth and break the deadlock.
Although Gu Tingcheng didn't want to accept Xueluo's love, looking at Xiao Shaoqing with a gloomy face, if he waited for him to let him enter the restaurant, it was estimated that he would have to wait until the next life.
"Miss Xie Xueluo." Gu Tingcheng thanked him, stepped into the restaurant with his stopped feet, and before he could find a place to sit down, Xiao Shaoqing's cold voice sounded again, "A subordinate is not qualified to eat at the same table with the master." Before he stood on the side, he waited. β
"Yes, master." Gu Qingcheng had no choice but to walk to the side and stand at the table.
When Gu Tingcheng ran to the door, Mu Lian set her eyes on Gu Tingcheng, she was dirty, especially there was a lot of garden dirt on her pants, and her reckless actions were indeed like a wild girl in the countryside.
"Boss, sister-in-law didn't mean it, don't worry about it." Mu Lian opened her mouth and said, looking at Gu Qingcheng standing aside, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
"Second brother, this is the eldest brother's family matter, and I will take care of it." Xiao Shaoqing said lightly.
"Well, I know, it's the second brother who is too talkative." Mu Lian didn't say anything more, and silently took two mouthfuls of rice. He also only heard what Wei Liang said about Gu Tingcheng's punishment, and he came to see Xiao Shaoqing today just to help her beg for mercy, but he was sent away by his own boss with a word, and he had no choice but to be silent.
The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became very quiet, not so much quiet, not to mention the embarrassment, Gu Tingcheng stood next to him, no one told her, she couldn't move around without permission, how to tell Mu Lian about this?
"Er Shao, this soup is good, do you want to give it a try." Xueluo looked at Mu Lian and put the bowl aside, and hurriedly said. He is Xiao Shaoqing's brother, and she also wants to have a good relationship with him. I wanted to embarrass Gu Qingcheng when I wanted to eat, but for the sake of my image, Xueluo gave up, and the coming day will be long, and there will be opportunities in the future.
"No need." Mu Lian refused.
Xiao Shaoqing, who hadn't spoken for a long time, saw Xueluo's careful thoughts, and said to Mu Lian, "Second brother, let's drink a bowl." β
Xiao Shaoqing opened his mouth, and Mu Lian was not good at refusing again.
"Then I'll help Er Shao serve a bowl." After Xueluo finished speaking, she was about to get up and get the soup bowl in front of Mu Lian.
"How can you do such a rough job before your body recovers." Xiao Shaoqing said and pressed Xueluo on the seat to do it, and said to Gu Qingcheng, "Why don't you go and help Mu Er Shao serve soup." β
After receiving Xiao Shaoqing's order, Gu Qingcheng ran towards Mu Lian with joy, the joy on his face was very dazzling when he fell into Xiao Shaoqing's eyes, is he so happy to give Mu Lian a soup?
"And I'm here." Xiao Shaoqing said coldly, pushing the soup bowl in front of him in front of Gu Qingcheng.
"Yes, master." Gu Qingcheng replied happily, the crisp and pleasant voice ignited a fire in Xiao Shaoqing's heart like a flame, and it only sounded good to others, and there was nothing else unusual.
Gu Tingcheng picked up Xiao Shaoqing's bowl first, added a bowl of soup, and respectfully served it in front of him, and the anger in Xiao Shaoqing's heart dissipated slightly.
picked up the soup bowl in front of Mu Lian and served the soup again, and brought it over respectfully, seeing that he glanced at her, he hurriedly glanced at her. Mu Lian immediately understood.
When he was about to reach him with the bowl, Gu Qingcheng suddenly stumbled, and a good bowl of soup was spilled on the ground, and the soup bowl fell to Mu Lian's feet.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." Gu Qingcheng said hurriedly, squatting down to pick up the bowl.
Mu Lian also bent down to help, and whispered in Gu Qingcheng's ear, "What's the matter?" β
"Wait for the path in front of the door, wait for me." Gu Tingcheng said concisely, and said loudly, "I'll start with the new bowl and give it to Er Shaosheng." As he spoke, he picked up the bowl and stood up, turned around and went to the kitchen to get the bowl.
Mu Lian straightened up, and in order not to attract the attention of others, she looked at Gu Qingcheng's back and said loudly, "Then it's troublesome sister-in-law." β
Seeing Gu Tingcheng knock over Mu Lian's soup bowl, Xiao Shaoqing's mood suddenly improved, and looking at Gu Tingcheng who came over with a good bowl, he couldn't help but sarcastically, "It's really useless." β
"Shaoqing, Sister Gu didn't mean it." Xue Luo hurriedly spoke up.
"Luo'er, come, drink soup." Xiao Shaoqing didn't care, and pushed his bowl of soup in front of Xueluo.
Xueluo looked at the soup in front of her, smiled a little proudly, quickly suppressed her smile, and said with a pushy face, "Sister Gu gave it to Shaoqing, where does Luo'er dare to drink it." β
Hearing the words of the snow falling, Gu Qingcheng took the soup spoon in his hand, and soon returned to normal, scooped the soup in a few clicks, put it in front of Mu Lian, and stepped aside.
"I say drink it, or I'll feed you myself." Xiao Shaoqing threatened.
"Shaoqing, don't. I can't drink it myself. Xue Luo said shyly, glanced at Gu Qingcheng again and said, "Sister Gu, sister is here to thank you." β
"Where, if Miss Xueluo still wants to drink after drinking, Gu Qingcheng will definitely help you add more." Gu Qingcheng watched the snow fall, and said without smiling.
Mu Lian glanced at Gu Qingcheng with her spare eyes, looking at her duplicitous, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but raise slightly, and she drank the soup in the bowl.
After Xiao Shaoqing and Xueluo finished eating, the three of them went to the living room to sit for a while, while Gu Tingcheng stayed in the kitchen to help.
Seeing that the time was not early, Mu Lian got up and said goodbye. Xiao Shaoqing didn't do much to stay, and helped Xue Luo upstairs to take care of her to rest.
The old housekeeper followed Mu Lian and wanted to send him to the door, Mu Lian looked at the fact that there was really a path not far from the door, thinking of Gu Tingcheng's words, I don't know what she was looking for herself? He turned back to the butler and said, "I've just eaten too much, I'll walk around by myself, and I'll leave later." β
The old housekeeper knew that the relationship between Mu Lian and Xiao Shaoqing was not ordinary, and he did not doubt him, nodded, retreated, and was busy with his own affairs.
Mu Lian saw that the old housekeeper had walked away, looked around, made sure that no one was moving, and turned into the path. There were dense vegetation on both sides of the path, and after walking along the path for a while, I saw Gu Chengcheng waiting anxiously at a bend.
"Tell me, what's the matter with me?" Mu Lian wanted to tease her, but seeing her walking back and forth anxiously, she knew that she was really in a hurry, so she put away her thoughts and asked straight to the point.
"I've got something I want you to help with." Gu Tingcheng was also not polite, and told Mu Lian about Xu Jiaying.
"You suspect she's been kidnapped?" Mu Lian asked.
"There is this possibility, I haven't received a reply here, and no one answered her call, so I can only be sure if I send someone to find it." Gu Tingcheng didn't know, and for today's plan, he could only know the result by sending someone to find it.
"Don't worry, I'll handle this matter, and I'll let you know when there's news." Mu Lian said and spread her hands in front of Gu Qingcheng.
"What for?" Gu Qingcheng looked at him strangely, a little puzzled.
"Give me my mobile phone, I will write down the phone number of strangers, and save my phone number by the way, so that it is easy to contact." Mu Lian said as a matter of course.
"Oh, okay." Gu Qingcheng immediately took out his mobile phone and handed it to Mu Lian.
Looking at the old mobile phone in her hand, which was still clamshell, Mu Lian couldn't help but complain, "What kind of antique are you, it should have been eliminated a long time ago." β
"Oh, that's not the point, you hurry up and get it, and don't be found later." Gu Tingcheng urged.
Mu Lian, who was entering her mobile phone number, suddenly stopped what she was doing when she heard Gu Tingcheng's words, looked up at her, a smile hooked up at the corner of her mouth, and a hint of playfulness in her eyes, "I said sister-in-law, we are not doing anything unseemly, what are you afraid of." β
Gu Tingcheng looked at Mu Lian's smiling expression a little embarrassed, looked up at the dark sky and said, "It's so late now, I'm afraid it will cause a misunderstanding." β
"I'm afraid of causing misunderstanding, why didn't you say it when you were in the restaurant?" Mu Lian looked at Gu Qingcheng's cute little appearance, and suddenly wanted to tease her again.
