Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 313 Keep pretending?

It seems they're planning to play dumb forever?

Lin Qingping gave a cold "Heh," and said, "So it was you!"

There was not a trace of gratitude or emotion in his voice, only anger.

Gu Juncheng was also stunned.

What does this mean?

Lin Qingping raised her head, filled with righteous indignation, "So it was you! You dragged me out of the river in the freezing cold, then just threw me on the ground and gave me a tattered cotton-padded coat. Do you think I could have survived that? Why didn't you just let me freeze to death?"

Gu Juncheng couldn't help but retort after being scolded by her, "I pulled you up here originally intending to take you into the village to ask whose daughter you are, but just then a few middle-aged women came this way, and I thought they would definitely know you. It would be much faster than me taking you back and asking from house to house. Besides, there's a difference between men and women..."

You've thought about quite a lot!

Lin Qingping glared at him, thinking to herself: Ha, did I manage to get him to reveal what was on his mind? So he already knew she was the one he was going to marry, and he hadn't said a word about it for the past five years?

"Were you... cold afterwards?" He looked her over. "You're not feeling well. We should go back to the capital immediately and find a good doctor to see you..."

"No need!" Lin Qingping said, her heart filled with anger: If it weren't for what happened today, would he have kept quiet for the rest of his life?

She wasn't sure if her years of irregular health were due to this fall into the water. After being reborn, she paid close attention to her health, and with her experience from her previous life, she would buy medicine for herself early on. Her condition was much better than in her previous life, only slightly irregular. Now, she continues to pay attention to her diet and medication.

"Gu Juncheng." She looked at him, her eyes deep. "Keep pretending?"

"What are you pretending for?" He looked away.

Lin Qingping nodded, "Okay, it's fine, you can continue!"

After saying that, Lin Qingping slammed the door shut and left.

Gu Juncheng stared at the closed door, lost in thought.

But only for a brief moment, and then he opened the door and chased after her.

Lin Qingping, who slammed the door and strode out, bumped into a girl in the corridor.

Lin Qingping was startled when the girl's familiar voice uttered "Ouch!"

It turned out to be her sister-in-law from her previous life—Cheng Yuanyuan.

She quickly helped her up, asking, "Are you alright?" Cheng Yuanyuan was pregnant!

Cheng Yuanyuan raised her head.

A young and innocent face.

So naive, Lin Qingping could hardly be equated with the sister-in-law she remembered.

Every woman has had such a youthful age, full of innocence and romance, but life slowly wears away their color.

"Are you... alright?" Lin Qingping looked at Cheng Yuanyuan in front of her. She was wearing loose clothes, and because she was thin, her belly was not very big.

Lin Qingping felt sorry for Cheng Yuanyuan, but the thought that the person hidden under the loose clothes was her nephew who had killed her in her past life made her feel extremely disgusted.

“I…I’m fine.” Cheng Yuanyuan stood up straight.

Lin Qingping let go of Cheng Yuanyuan's hand. She could support Cheng Yuanyuan, but she really didn't want to have any contact with her nephew from her previous life, even though he was still in Cheng Yuanyuan's belly and was just a fetus.

"You came here alone... are you looking for someone?" Lin Qingping had a strange intuition that she had come to find her.

Cheng Yuanyuan looked at her, scrutinizing her, "You..."

"My surname is Lin."

Cheng Yuanyuan's eyes reddened. "Are you Jia Gui's older sister?"

Okay, he really did come to see her.

Lin Qingping led her back to her room.

At this moment, Zhong Xiaoxiao also returned to the room. Cheng Yuanyuan glanced at Zhong Xiaoxiao, but hesitated to speak.

"I...I'll go out for a bit." Zhong Xiaoxiao understood perfectly.

“No, no need,” Cheng Yuanyuan said immediately. “Anyway… anyway, you all already know.”

As she spoke, tears streamed down her face.

Lin Qingping remembered that when she was at the Cheng family home, Cheng's parents said they would immediately go to her maternal grandparents' house to bring Cheng Yuanyuan back. It seemed that they acted quickly and actually brought her back. Moreover, they also told her the truth.

With red eyes, Cheng Yuanyuan asked, "Sister Lin... is he really that kind of person?"

Lin Qingping nodded. "Yes, do you think an older sister would slander her own brother?"

“But…but…” Cheng Yuanyuan shook her head, “I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it, he couldn’t be that kind of person, I don’t believe it…”

After saying that, she opened the door, covered her face, and ran back crying.

Lin Qingping followed after them, all the way downstairs, and saw Cheng's parents arrive at the hotel entrance. Two elderly people also came with them. Lin Qingping recognized them from her distant memory; they were Cheng Yuanyuan's maternal grandparents.

Four people intercepted Cheng Yuanyuan.

But Cheng Yuanyuan acted recklessly and lost her temper.

She didn't know what her grandmother whispered in her ear, but she suddenly quieted down and cried while burying her face in her grandmother's shoulder.

After that, Cheng Yuanyuan's maternal grandparents took her away. Cheng's parents looked at each other, sighed, and continued walking towards the hotel. At the top of the stairs, they met Lin Qingping standing there.

"Comrade Lin!" Jiang Liping's eyes were swollen, clearly she had been crying for a long time.

So Lin Qingping took the two back to the room to talk.

It turned out that even though Director Cheng and Jiang Liping told Cheng Yuanyuan the truth about Lin Jiagui, Cheng Yuanyuan still didn't believe them.

It's just the same few sentences over and over again.

"How could that be? How could he be that kind of person? I don't believe it."

“He was very good to me. He would roast sweet potatoes for me, but he wouldn’t eat them himself.”

He said he loves me, and will love me forever.

He also said that I was the first girl he ever liked, and that he had never liked any other girl.

Lin Qingping couldn't help but roll her eyes as she listened to Jiang Liping repeat these words.

Of course, his brother would never eat roasted sweet potatoes! He's never liked sweet potatoes since he was little. He always gets the best food at home. When did eating sweet potatoes become a source of happiness?

Also, Cheng Yuanyuan is definitely his first girl! Because, what other girl would like him?

Jiang Liping cried, "Judging from her tone, it seems that even if Lin Jiagui really is that kind of person, she would still like him. What kind of bewitching or illness has befallen my daughter?!"

Lin Qingping knew that this condition was later called: love-struck brain.

One symptom of being obsessed with love is that even if a man is a gambler and a drunkard, and has done all sorts of bad things, as long as he says he loves her, that love can immediately offset all his flaws.

Therefore, there is only one way to cure this kind of love-struck brain.

This method may not even work.

Lin Qingping then gave some instructions to Director Cheng and Jiang Liping.

After listening, Director Cheng nodded, expressed his gratitude countless times, and left with Jiang Liping.

As soon as the two left, Gu Juncheng came in.

With Zhong Xiaoxiao present, Lin Qingping couldn't argue with him, and simply said, "What are you standing there for? Go do your work!"

In a secluded spot, the room had no windows, and a light was on even in broad daylight, though it was a dim one.

Inside, a few people were playing cards when there was a knock on the door. Someone opened the door, and Lin Jiagui was outside.

"How did we end up in such a remote place? I almost couldn't find it," Lin Jiagui said.

"You can't find it, and neither can the police."

With that, the group set up a game.

Some people joked, "Lin Jiagui, how come you suddenly have money to play again?"

"Don't you know? He's incredibly lucky. He managed to win over the sugar factory manager's daughter, and now he's living the high life."

"You're that capable?" someone exclaimed in surprise. "The sugar factory manager wouldn't even look at a gambler like you?"

"What's so difficult about that?" Lin Jiagui said smugly. "My mother said that no matter how arrogant a woman is, as long as you sleep with her, she will be obedient. If you can get her pregnant, she will chase after you to marry you."
