After the divorce, Gu Shao turned on the loyal dog mode

Chapter 42 Do You Have to Compete with Yourself?

As soon as Jin Qian entered the Gu family mansion, she was seen by Aunt Zhang, "Madam, you are finally back. The master will be here soon. Come on, come on, serve the food. The food is ready."

Aunt Zhang was so enthusiastic that Jin Qian couldn't even bring herself to mention a different name for her.

"Master, Miss, Madam is back." Aunt Zhang led Jin Qian into the house.

When Jin Qian raised her eyes, she saw everyone sitting neatly at the dining table.

She didn't expect that after signing the divorce agreement, she would see Gu Chen again in such a scene.

Jin Qian focused her eyes, collected her thoughts, changed her slippers and walked to the dining table.

Just as he was about to sit next to Gu Ruixin, Gu Chen took the lead and pulled out the chair next to him.

Mr. Gu smiled and said, "Qiqi, come and sit down!"

Gu Ruixin looked at her brother and thought that all she had said just now was worth it, her brother had finally changed a little.

"Mr. Gu, long time no see. How are you?" Jin Qian asked politely.

Old Gu laughed, "I'm in good health. Today, Rui Xin told me that she had regained feeling in her legs. I instantly felt refreshed and younger."

When talking about Gu Ruixin's legs, everyone in the Gu family laughed.

This is a great thing for them.

"This is all thanks to Qiqi." Gu Ruixin smiled and looked at Jin Qian, "If Qiqi hadn't introduced the Huaguo Laboratory to me, I might not be able to stand up on my legs."

"I'm just a messenger. It's just something I do conveniently." Jin Qian said calmly without any surprise.

Mr. Gu on the side seemed to be thinking about what he said, looked at Gu Chen on the side, and kicked him under the table.

Gu Chen was kicked suddenly. He raised his eyes and saw the look in his father's eyes. He quickly picked up the wine glass and handed it to Jin Qian, "Thanks to you for the lab matter this time."

Jin Qian looked at the wine glass at hand, picked it up, and touched it with an ambiguous tone, "You're welcome."

The two of them were more polite in their distant conversation than partners at a drinking table, except for a word of honorific.

Gu Ruixin was embarrassed and pinched her hands under the dinner table. She interrupted, "Xixi, you can sleep with me tonight."

"I'm afraid I can't do it today. I have to meet someone tomorrow and deal with some documents tonight." Jin Qian thought about tomorrow's arrangements and refused.

When Gu Chen heard Jin Qian say that she was going to meet someone tomorrow, his eyebrows raised, "Who are you going to meet?"

Considering that Mr. Gu and Rui Xin were there, Jin Qian couldn't be disrespectful in front of them, so she just replied calmly, "It's about work."

"What job? Where do you work?" Gu Chen didn't stop but continued to ask.

Jin Qian frowned impatiently. Why did he talk so much? He didn't talk when he should, but talked a lot when he shouldn't!
Seeing that the situation was not good, Mr. Gu immediately stepped on Gu Chen's foot and said, "Let's eat, the family finally got together to have a meal, why are you talking about work? It's such a bummer!"

As he said this, Mr. Gu looked at Gu Chen warningly, telling him not to speak again.

It was a dinner party, and everyone present felt uncomfortable.

After dinner, Jin Qian said she wanted to ask Mr. Gu about calligraphy and went into the study on the second floor.

Gu Chen looked at the closed door upstairs, thinking. He had a hunch that there was something going on between Gu Lao and Su Qiqi that he didn't know about. "You came to see me on purpose. What questions do you have?" Gu Lao had already guessed something when Jin Qian opened her mouth.

"Because of your grandfather?"

Jin Qian nodded. Facing Mr. Gu at this moment, she didn't want to hide anything, so she said straight to the point, "Grandpa is missing, and the Jin family is looking for him, but I don't think Grandpa can leave suddenly."

Jin Qian said, looking at Mr. Gu, "Grandpa is usually very close to you. Has he contacted you before?"

"We were in touch a few months ago." Gu Lao sighed, "He asked me to appreciate his calligraphy and paintings at that time. The last time I saw him was at Huixuan House." Gu Lao leaned on a cane, "He is in good health and has been tempered in the battlefield for many years. You don't have to worry."

Jin Qian also knew about her grandfather's skills, but there were many different opinions about his disappearance. If someone was really behind this, what was the purpose? Jin Qian was puzzled.

"If I have any new news here, I will inform you as soon as possible."

Jin Qian nodded, "Thank you, Mr. Gu."

After she finished speaking, she was about to push the door open and leave. Mr. Gu stared at her back and suddenly said, "You and Gu Chen."

"He and I have signed the divorce agreement." Jin Qian paused, then closed the door.

In the study, Mr. Gu's hunched back seemed to have become heavier.

Jin Qian said goodbye to Zhang Ma and was about to leave Gu's house.

Gu Chen, who had been sitting on the sofa, watched Jin Qian leave. After a while, he opened the door and followed her.

When Jin Qian came here, she was brought here by Zhang Ye, but she sent Zhang Ye to temporarily check the whereabouts of her fourth uncle. Now there was no car, and the taxi could not be called through the app during rush hour. She could not stay in Gu's house anymore, so she just took a walk.

Gu's house is located in a private villa area, and there is a long slope just a few steps away from the door. Gu Chen drove towards the door, and saw Jin Qian's figure at the downhill.

"No one picked you up?" Gu Chen lowered the car window and turned on the high beam.

"What's it got to do with you?" Jin Qian quickened her pace without even turning her head, but suddenly she stepped on a pit, twisted her ankle, and sprained her foot.

Feeling a piercing pain in her ankle, Jin Qian squatted down, took off her dumplings, leaned on a chair beside her, and rubbed it slowly with her hands.

Just now, she was so focused on getting rid of Gu Chen that she didn't pay attention to the road under her feet. Now the pain in her ankle made her grit her teeth and close her eyes.

Gu Chen immediately stopped the car, opened the door and walked down. Jin Qian lowered her head, so he couldn't see her expression clearly. He said slowly, "Let me take a look."

"No!" She refused subconsciously and tried to push his hands away, but he was very strong and grabbed her hands. "Do you really want to fight with yourself? The entrance to the community is still one kilometer away. Do you want to jump over by yourself? Or crawl over?"

Gu Chen's cold eyes stopped Jin Qian's actions.

She stared at Gu Chen, wanting to refute but had to admit that what Gu Chen said made sense. She shouldn't torture her body, and should use her female advantages when she should show weakness. This was the truth Qin Yumo taught her.

Jin Qian loosened her hand, and Gu Chen's expression softened. He picked up Jin Qian's slender calf and placed it on his own pushchair.

He put his hands on Jin Qian's ankles. As soon as they touched, Jin Qian couldn't help but let out a "click" and tried to pull her legs back.

"It hurts." Because of the pain, her voice was not as cold as usual, but soft and thin, with a faint whisper.

Gu Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, his thoughts flying, but what he was thinking about was the sound she made in bed in the past, which was also like this. He changed his position, pressed on the upper part of his ankle, and kneaded it, "It's an acute sprain. I'll find a pharmacy to give you medicine later."
