Under Gu Qiaoqiao’s cold gaze, she felt a bit surprised, because it was obvious that Mrs. Lu wanted to step forward and hit the oblivious Sister Li. After all, the noblewoman in front of her, the wife of her son’s leader, had taken the initiative to greet her. Mrs. Lu thought Sister Li was being thankless, humiliating the Lu Family. However, she hadn’t expected to be forcibly held back by the old man beside her, whose silent warning was evident in his eyes.
Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t understand the purpose of these two people standing at the door. She and Chu Chengfeng were here to find Sister Li, what did the parents of Lu Hao have to do with it?
It was unclear what Lu Hao was thinking.
So, Gu Qiaoqiao’s slightly indifferent gaze swept towards Lu Hao, and she suddenly noticed Lu Hao’s sharp stare aid at his parents. The warning in his eyes imdiately made the elderly couple stop arguing and stand quietly at the door.
Then Lu Hao looked at Sister Li, "Sister-in-law, this is the head leader’s wife I told you about, her na is Gu Qiaoqiao. Let’s go inside and talk."
Luo Hao’s voice was very gentle, and Li Gufen glanced at Lu Hao. Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t miss the fleeting hint of familial affection in her eyes.
Moreover, Gu Qiaoqiao was familiar with that kind of look, just like the way she looked at Gu Zishu.
Sister Li finally spoke, but she never looked at the elderly couple. Instead, she forced a smile, and her mood seed sowhat improved, "Qiaoqiao, you all co in quickly. You’ve been sitting in the car for so long, you must be very tired. I’ll cook so noodles for you later."
"Sister Li, I’ve been longing for your beef noodles for a long ti. Today, we must talk everything out, or else Xiao Wen and I will stay here and refuse to leave, making you cook for us three tis a day. It’ll tire you to death..." Chu Chengfeng said cheekily.
Xiao Wen giggled and lightly punched him, "Dream on."
Sister Li laughed, the shadow in her eyes out of sight, "Alright, Sister would be thrilled to accommodate you."
At this mont, Lu Hao gently looked at Mu Xinxin, and said quietly, "Xinxin, you’re here."
Mu Xinxin responded with a small "Mm," as softly as a mosquito.
anwhile, Gu Qiaoqiao stepped forward without giving away any emotions, gently holding Sister Li’s hand, saying, "Sister Li, you haven’t experienced Chu Chengfeng’s cheeky side yet, he’s quite botherso."
As Gu Qiaoqiao spoke, she subtly moved her fingers, secretly guiding positive energy into Sister Li’s hand with a touch.
As an ordinary person, Sister Li needed only a little, so in the blink of an eye, Gu Qiaoqiao let go of her hand .
Li Gufen, filled with gloom, suddenly felt a warm stream like a trickling brook flowing towards her heart the mont she and Gu Qiaoqiao shook hands.
Her previously cold, despaired, and painful heart was imdiately enveloped by this warm aura, which then spread quickly throughout her body.
Since Gu Qiaoqiao and Chu Chengfeng were guests, Lu Hao hesitated no longer and promptly ushered everyone through the beef noodle house’s entrance. At the door stood the older Lu couple and the slightly stunned Sister Li.
This was a typical noodle house layout; one step inside and you’re in the dining area. Standing inside, Gu Qiaoqiao could see Sister Li at the door, seemingly dazed.
Today’s sunlight was very bright, unobstructedly illuminating this land.
Gu Qiaoqiao blinked; she thought she was hallucinating. So, she fixed her gaze on a spot above Sister Li’s head and determined she wasn’t mistaken.
Above Sister Li’s head were white and black beams of light, which gradually ford into two swirling globes around her.
Standing nearby was Xiao Wen, and Gu Qiaoqiao asked in a voice only they could hear, "Sister Xiao Wen, can you see two globes near Sister Li, one black and one white?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wen quickly looked over, and after a few monts she shook her head, "Qiaoqiao, I only feel the aura stirring beside Sister Li, but I don’t see the globes you’re talking about. What’s going on?"
"I’ll explain later," Gu Qiaoqiao signaled silently.
She clearly saw the white globe gradually swallowing the black globe.
In the midst of this, Sister Li seed to be experiencing a soul conflict, her hazy and chaotic thoughts gradually becoming clear. At this mont, Sister Li seed to be having an epiphany.
Many things she couldn’t understand before suddenly made sense. The hatred in her heart also dissipated a lot, as if she had walked into a dead end, and suddenly a door appeared. Upon pushing it open, she found a vast, open field.
The feeling was indescribable, only Li Gufen could understand.
Gu Qiaoqiao silently sighed in relief. It seed her idea was right; Sister Li seed to have figured sothing out.
They say soone won’t turn back until cornered, and pale persuasion is often futile. So things must be personally experienced to truly understand, and only upon figuring things out can one know which path to take.
Even persuasive words touching the heart yield limited results, no matter how well-spoken.
This was precisely the case for Sister Li. It wasn’t that others hadn’t tried to persuade her—instead, due to her skills and good nature, many wanted her to leave the Lu Family.
Though they hadn’t lived here long, the locals had a very good impression of Li Gufen.
Naturally, they couldn’t bear to see her living as she did with the Lu Family, yet she refused to leave. After working tirelessly for this family, nearly twenty years, how could she be willing to part?
And without children, what would she do in old age?
Yet, she now suddenly found her previous way of thinking foolish.
At this mont, Lu Family’s parents had entered the noodle house, and as they passed Sister Li, Mrs. Lu shot her a scathing glare. But unfortunately, Sister Li was lost in her thoughts, not even noticing.
Mrs. Lu was about to burst out but was firmly pulled into the noodle house by Mr. Lu.
Gu Qiaoqiao watched all this unfold.
It seems Lu Hao said sothing to them.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have restrained themselves.
But Gu Qiaoqiao still couldn’t understand why Chu Chengfeng and Sister Li were discussing business, and why Lu Hao had involved his parents.
In her heart, Gu Qiaoqiao held reservations about Lu Hao.
Gu Qiaoqiao glanced at Lu Hao standing at the door, warmly smiling at Sister Li and urging her to co inside. She quietly pondered whether she should use Qin Yize’s status to intervene in the Lu family’s affairs.
But so n are excessively filial, even willingly letting their parents drain them dry without protest.
