After Gu Yanqing went back that night, he didn't give much explanation to Mrs. Gu. Anyway, Mrs. Gu couldn't control who he liked or disliked.
But she always felt that the girl looked familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere.
After several days, Mrs. Gu suddenly remembered that there had been an incident involving a pregnant woman in a maternal and child store in X City. She took a look at the picture of the victim because of the notification on her mobile phone and felt that the child held by one of the women looked very similar to Gu Yanqing when she was a child!
She also asked Gu Yanqing, but he denied it.
But now that she thinks about it, that woman seems to be the same person as the one she saw yesterday.
It's a pity that she didn't save the photo. When she went back to search the Internet, she couldn't find any picture information about that incident.
There were obvious signs of manipulation. Mrs. Gu remained calm and sent someone to check on the woman, but she only found out that she used to go to school and work at X City. He suddenly left X City last year and then came to C City. However, the other party could only check here. Where did she go in C City and what was she doing, but there was no trace.
Could it be that his son Jinwu has hidden her?
But what is his purpose for doing this? Mrs. Gu feels that he is not unenlightened. Although he is unhappy with that Qiao Wanqing, if Gu Yanqing insists on being with her, she won't say anything.
Gu Yanqing never mentioned this to her family at all. She even had a child, but she still hid it. Even when she asked Gu Yanqing last year, he didn't admit it.
Mrs. Gu was so curious by his son's series of operations.
She directly went behind Gu Yanqing's back and invited his assistant Wang Xiao out to find out what happened.
"Madam," Mrs. Gu was drinking afternoon tea when Wang Xiao arrived, "You are looking for me."
Mrs. Gu made an appointment at an outdoor afternoon tea restaurant. Now that the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, there are blue sky and white clouds outside on the grass. Some rich ladies can sit there all afternoon.
"Sit down." Mrs. Gu raised his chin and motioned for him to sit opposite.
Wang Xiao was uneasy, not sure what Mrs. Gu was thinking, and a little afraid to sit down.
Mrs. Gu hardly asks people around Gu Yanqing to inquire into his son's private affairs. The main reason is that Gu Yanqing is sensible and has his own ideas. He doesn't like others to see into his private life. Mrs. Gu will not touch his son's troubles no matter what.
If she had to find someone to ask, it would definitely not be a trivial matter.
"Why," Mrs. Gu raised her eyelids and glanced at him, "Are you worried that I will eat you?"
"No," Wang Xiao pulled out a chair and sat down, "I just feel flattered."
Mrs. Gu took a light sip of tea without exposing him.
At this time, the waiter brought the tea tray up and poured tea for Wang Xiao. Wang Xiao picked it up and took a sip, almost spitting it out.
So fucking miserable.
But under Mrs. Gu's slightly smiling gaze, he didn't dare to say that he was in trouble, so he swallowed the tea, pretending to be very calm, and asked, "Mrs. Gu, what's the matter with you?"
"Qiao Wanqing," Mrs. Gu observed Wang Xiao's reaction when he heard the name and said, "You know it."
Wang Xiao forced himself to remain calm on the surface, trying not to reveal any flaws, and nodded and said, "I know."
"How long have they been together?"
"This..." Wang Xiao had no idea that they were already together, but knowing that Gu Yanqing would indeed go over to see her, he said awkwardly, "Madam, President Gu doesn't like others to pry into his private life. I only know Miss Qiao Wanqing, but I don't know that they are already together."
"Okay," Mrs. Gu didn't bother too much and asked instead, "Is that child theirs?"
Wang Xiao: "I don't know which child the lady is referring to."
Mrs. Gu smiled softly, "Drink tea."
Wang Xiao: "..."
He knew that Mrs. Gu's voice to drink tea was not polite, but an order. He bit the bullet, lowered his head and took a sip of tea. The tea was made from unknown tea leaves, and was unspeakably painful. The second sip was even more bitter than the first sip.
Wang Xiao is almost crying.
Mrs. Gu continued, "Well, you don't know, let's skip this and ask someone you know, where is Qiao Wanqing now?"
Wang Xiao: "..."
He lowered his head silently, took a sip of bitter tea, and swallowed it down.
It's not easy to be an assistant these days.
"So, this is also 'don't know'?"
Wang Xiao nodded, but after two sips of tea, he had already made up a perfect rhetoric.
"I only know that President Gu knows such a person, because when the news about the maternal and child store appeared before, President Gu asked me to handle it, so I know the existence of Qiao Wanqing and her child. As for her relationship with President Gu, when did it start, and whose child is it, I dare not ask more."
Mrs. Gu knew about Qiao Wanqing and Koukou through the maternal and child store. He knew it because when Mrs. Gu saw the photo and website, it was Gu Yanqing who asked him to contact the relevant website to delete the news.
So Wang Xiao only said he knew so much, and Mrs. Gu couldn't do anything to him. He concealed the facts he knew, and revealed useless information he knew to Mrs. Gu. Mrs. Gu couldn't force him anymore, and Gu Yanqing wouldn't cause trouble for him.
"Liar." Mrs. Gu said without thinking, "Wang Xiao, don't think I'm so easy to deceive."
"I..." Wang Xiao was on one side the boss Gu Yanqing, and on the other side was the untouchable Mrs. Gu. Neither of them could offend, so they had to drink a whole cup of tea.
He shivered from the pain and almost vomited it out. He vowed not to eat anything related to bitterness in his life.
"Madam," he wiped his mouth with a tissue, "Please let me go. I'm just like drinking this bitter tea. I can't say anything about it."
