Before you know it, City A has entered late autumn, and people coming and going on the streets are wearing overcoats and moving forward in the bleak wind. The days that used to be very long have become shorter, and it is already dark around six o'clock these days.

After recuperating in bed for a week, Zhong Qing and the indicators of the fetus in her womb finally returned to normal, Gu Zimo helped her go through the discharge procedures, but Zhong Qing, who wanted to return to the studio to deal with work, suddenly saw Du Qunyu's figure downstairs in the office building. The two of them haven't seen each other since Gu Xiu came back, Zhong Qing is very grateful for him for lending a helping hand when she was most helpless, and she had promised before that no matter what Du Qunyu needed her help with in the future, she would be duty-bound.

"You're going to rent the Bar?"

"Where has it long been deserted, where is it still a bar?" Du Qunyu smiled: "It turned out that the Tianqi Bar, which was famous in both black and white, is now just an idle property that no one dares to buy, and now I want to buy it and open my own shop, if nothing else, just to keep my previous thoughts." ”

He came to beg Zhong Qing this time, in fact, he wanted her to be a middleman, after all, Du Qunyu would only be embarrassed to meet Gu Xiu now, and he didn't know anyone else who could help him, not to mention that he also had a daughter and a family to raise, so he had to do something.

Zhong Qing still remembered that Gu Xiu had the ownership of that property, and as long as Du Qunyu opened his mouth, Gu Xiubai could give it to him, and now Du Qunyu came to him specifically for this matter, which shows that there is a problem between him and Gu Xiu.

"The second master doesn't remember the past now, and I'm not sure I can rent it, so I want to ask you for help." Du Qunyu knew that Zhong Qing's current situation was not much better than his own, but after all, she was Gu Xiu's most beloved woman, even if Gu Xiu didn't remember it now, it was better than being kicked out by Rachel.

Since Du Qunyu said so, Zhong Qing couldn't refuse, especially after hearing Du Qunyu say that he was kicked out by Rachel, she wanted to meet the arrogant woman even more.

"I see." Zhong Qing said: "I'll go to him in a while, don't worry, I will definitely tell him your words truthfully." ”

After thanking Zhong Qing, Du Qunyu took out an invitation card from his pocket and handed it over: "The day after tomorrow is my daughter's first birthday banquet, prepared at home, a little shabby, I hope you don't mind." ”

"How could I mind! I've wanted to see what your daughter looks like! Perhaps because she was pregnant, Zhong Qing's affection for the child has skyrocketed, and she can take this opportunity to learn from Du Qunyu's wife, after all, there are no other pregnant people around her who can help.

After saying goodbye to Du Qunyu, Zhong Qing took the invitation and turned around and drove to the Tianqian Cafe, although there was a sign at the door that was temporarily closed, but the waiter inside saw that Zhong Qing was coming, and he didn't even go to the training class and ran over to open the door for her personally.

Rachel asked a friend from abroad to teach this group of "thugs" how to run a café, but she didn't expect an uninvited guest to break in, she first frowned, and then said hello to her friends and asked them to rest first.

"I heard that Miss Zhong is pregnant now, why did she suddenly have time to come to us?" Rachel completely looked like a hostess, and instructed the person next to her: "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you go and pour a glass of warm water for Miss Zhong!" ”

In fact, there is no need for Rachel to say, there are already people in the back kitchen who are busy preparing food and drink for Zhong Qing, after all, Zhong Qing has protected them in front of the director in the past, and they usually treat each other sincerely and compare their hearts to each other, so they naturally have a good impression of Zhong Qing.

"Don't be busy, I'm here to find Gu Xiu this time."

Saying such things in front of Rachel, it can be seen that Zhong Qing is ready this time, she looked at the woman in front of her who hypnotized Gu Xiu, and endured her temper and did not put the water cup on her head.

"Gu Xiu is in the company now, you can just tell me something." Rachel seemed to be deliberately swearing sovereignty: "I will manage this café for the time being, and I can take charge of his affairs." ”

Zhong Qing sneered and said deliberately, "Oh? Is it? Can you call the shots about everything Gu Xiu? Why did he listen to you so much, the Gu Xiu I know is not a person who likes to let others make decisions, could it be that you hypnotized him? ”

Rachel looked at Zhong Qing with a calm expression, although her heart was nervous, she still maintained the gentle smile that a hostess should have.

"Miss Zhong, you also know that Gu Xiu doesn't want to have too much contact with you, after all, what you have done before...... Alas, I won't talk about it. ”

"Say, why don't you say it? Do you think there is anyone here who doesn't know about the past? Or do you think those lies you made up can fool everyone? "Zhong Qing came this time, and she didn't plan to make Rachel feel better, not to mention that she is now pregnant and has a big temper that she can't help it, and no one is afraid of it.

"Miss Zhong, please respect yourself." Rachel took off her fake smile and lowered her voice and said to Zhong Qing: "I don't want to make a big deal about many things, don't think that you are pregnant now, you can do anything wrong with me." ”

"Knowing that I am pregnant, do you dare to fight with me? Don't you know that pregnant women have a big temper? I said that I came to Gu Xiu today, if you say that you can talk to me instead of him. Zhong Qing slapped the rental contract that Du Qunyu handed over to him in advance on the table, and said, "Then you can sign it." ”

"Du Qunyu?" Rachel is still a little scared when she sees his name now, she still remembers Gu Xiu's indifferent expression that day, she obviously thought it was just to drive away an ordinary employee, but she didn't expect Gu Xiu to lose her temper so much, although Rachel apologized in a low tone afterwards, Gu Xiu didn't say anything, but she always felt that this matter was not over yet.

"I can't sign it." Rachel returned the contract to Zhong Qing and said, "There are a lot of interests at stake, and even if you want to talk, it shouldn't be you who come to talk to me, right?" ”

Zhong Qing said coldly: "I will also give you the same words, Rachel, this is a matter for Du Qunyu and Gu Xiu, you are not qualified to object." ”

"You!"

At this moment, the door of the café was vigorously pushed open, and Gu Xiu, who received the news, walked in. The sharp gaze swept across the entire hall, and Zhong Qing's back was particularly dazzling among them.

"What are you doing here?"

"Your new 'girlfriend' is going to push people to a dead end, and I'm here to give you a chance to atone for your sins." Zhong Qing stood up and slapped the contract into Gu Xiu's arms, and after the latter looked at it a few times, he directly threw the document to Wei Lan.

"Even if it's a contract, it shouldn't be you." Gu Xiu glanced at Rachel, who was sitting at the table, turning her back and secretly wiping her tears, guessing that Zhong Qing must have said something ugly just now.

This woman, damn it, how long will she have to toss before she will give up! Why did Du Qunyu find her to send this contract! God knows how many times Gu Xiu contacted him privately after Rachel drove Du Qunyu away, but Du Qunyu seemed to have disappeared suddenly, and he moved away from his original address without answering the phone.

In fact, it was Wei Qiushan's people who were secretly investigating Du Qunyu's whereabouts, and after Rachel reported to Wei Qiushan the existence of Du Qunyu, a person who might threaten their plans, Du Qunyu's life has been very difficult. He looked for a lot of jobs and was fired for inexplicable reasons, and his original home was threatened by strangers splashing paint, so he had no choice but to move to the streets of the city that never sleeps with his wife and children, and found an old friend on the road, hoping that he could take care of himself temporarily.

Gu Xiu didn't know about this, and Du Qunyu didn't want him to know.

"Your brother is now afraid to return home because of threats from others, Gu Xiu, if you still have a little conscience, you can fulfill his wish." Zhong Qing took a deep breath and said to Gu Xiu: "Maybe you don't remember what kind of person Du Qunyu is, but I remember that he was able to spare his life to save you, you are brothers!" ”

Gu Xiu frowned and looked at this woman, it was the first time he saw Zhong Qing so serious, she was really speaking for Du Qunyu, even if she couldn't get any benefits in it, she wanted to speak purely for Du Qunyu, and reminded herself of Du Qunyu's current situation.

"Gu Xiu, you signed it." Rachel walked to Gu Xiu's side with red eyes, took his arm in front of Zhong Qing, and said, "I misunderstood him before, I shouldn't have let him leave, I am willing to pay for him with the money he rents that house......"

"No need." Zhong Qing interrupted Rachel's fake flattery and said, "I don't think Du Qunyu would want to have anything to do with a woman like you." ”

"Have you said enough?" Gu Xiu couldn't hear anyone say anything bad about Rachel, especially when this kind of thing came out of Zhong Qing's mouth.

Zhong Qing knew what she was like in Gu Xiu's heart, and she didn't bother to defend herself, so she took out the invitation card given to her by Du Qunyu from her bag and threw it to Gu Xiu.

"If you still have a conscience, bring the signed contract with you the day after tomorrow." Although Zhong Qing knew that Du Qunyu didn't want to contact Gu Xiu for the time being, if he wanted to rent the storefront of the former Tianqi Bar, he had to settle the misunderstanding with Gu Xiu.

Gu Xiu accepted the invitation, looked at Zhong Qing's back as he turned to leave, and unconsciously took steps to chase after him, but Rachel grabbed his arm and reminded him of reality.

Gu Xiu didn't understand why Zhong Qing would hand over this invitation to herself, it was her name written on it, if Du Qunyu didn't plan to invite him to the first birthday banquet at all, why would Zhong Qing do this in one fell swoop?

"Gu Xiu? Gu Xiu......"

"Huh?" Gu Xiu came back to his senses, looked at Rachel's uneasy expression, raised his hand and touched her head.

For some reason, it's not as familiar as it used to be.
