The Mystical Biological Mother Returns, the Villainous Sons Stand Up Straight – Chapter 17

Ch 17: No Sense of Security

At noon, she still ate at the company cafeteria. Liu Ergou was with them, and while eating, he tapped his phone, making “da da” sounds, saying he wanted to expose Bai Jiali’s evil deeds to prevent colleagues from being deceived in the future.

Gu Qingyin remained noncommittal, putting a piece of lychee pork in her mouth, and couldn’t help but narrow her eyes. Sweet and sour, appetizing!

Without the harassment of someone with an abnormal brain, Gu Qingyin’s “white-collar life” was very pleasant.

Huo Xingye, under her control, ate on time every day and left work on time. His complexion was obviously better than before.

Gu Qingyin felt she could resume her original job.

During this time, many people she knew before looked for her, including colleagues and clients. Many people asked her to come out of retirement, but she declined them all.

At that time, she thought, what could be more important than her son’s health? She stubbornly resisted the temptation of money, but now she couldn’t resist a little.

But before officially taking orders, there was still something to solve.

“Xingye, that friend living in your house, is her illness better?” Gu Qingyin asked with concern.

Huo Xingye paused in his document-reading action and looked over with a normal expression, “Why did you think of asking about her?”

Gu Qingyin said as a matter of course: “I’m going to start taking orders again. When I get busy later, I won’t have time to treat your friend unless she pays me.”

Huo Xingye didn’t hear the words after that at all, and frowned and asked: “You’re going to take exorcism orders again? Can’t you not take them?”

Gu Qingyin glared at him, “What do you mean? Your mom is only twenty-seven, strong and healthy, and has strong skills. It’s a good time to work hard and make money!”

Huo Xingye pursed his lips and didn’t speak, and the air pressure obviously dropped.

Gu Qingyin frowned and asked, “What are you unhappy about?”

Huo Xingye still didn’t speak.

Gu Qingyin clicked her tongue: “I like to be straightforward, and I hate roundabout things the most. I’ll ask you one last time, what are you unhappy about?”

Huo Xingye raised his eyes and glanced at her, and seeing that she was expressionless as if she was angry, he turned his face away and said, “I’m afraid you’ll be in danger.”

Gu Qingyin was very smart, and she knew his concerns after a moment’s thought.

“Afraid I’ll suddenly disappear like I did twenty years ago?”

Huo Xingye didn’t react, but the fingers holding the pen were faintly white.

Gu Qingyin sighed and reached out and rubbed his head, “That was an accident. Once in a lifetime is enough. I’m not a fool, I definitely won’t chase after it again next time.”

Seeing that Huo Xingye was still silent, she said “Aiyo” and whispered, “I’ll tell you secretly, that order wasn’t for ordinary ghosts and monsters, and it’s not so easy to encounter a second time.”

After speaking, Gu Qingyin quickly coughed lightly and returned to a normal volume, “I can’t say any more about it, it’s confidential. Son, you have to believe in Mom, Mom is also reluctant to leave you.”

Huo Xingye was a little shaken, “Really won’t there be a second time?”

Gu Qingyin nodded quickly, “Really, there won’t be!”

Huo Xingye’s expression was complicated, “Do you like catching ghosts that much?”

“It’s not liking, it’s responsibility.” Gu Qingyin said plausibly, “The so-called greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. It would be a waste if I didn’t use the skills I’ve learned.”

Huo Xingye was still not very happy, but he didn’t stop her anymore.

“Go if you want to, protect yourself.”

Gu Qingyin suddenly had a sense of accomplishment that she had been recognized by her Master and had finally completed her studies and descended the mountain.

A little weird.

She was silent for a second and turned the topic back, “Your friend, do you really not need me to take a look?”

“No need.” Huo Xingye started approving documents again, “She’s almost better.”

After getting off work in the evening, Gu Qingyin took a car back to the Old House. She wouldn’t be coming to the company starting tomorrow. Liu Ergou had an order and asked her to help, and she had to prepare in advance.

Huo Xingye watched Gu Qingyin’s car leave, and then drove back to the apartment.

The Auntie had already prepared the meal. Usually, she would leave after making the meal, but today she stood by the table without moving, hesitating to open her mouth: “Boss, I know I shouldn’t be nosy, but Miss Wen, she doesn’t look very good. She hasn’t eaten much in so many days, and she’s so thin that she’s about to lose her shape.”

The Auntie couldn’t help but redden her eyes when she said this, and choked up: “I don’t know how much conflict you had with Miss Wen before, but if there are misunderstandings, it would be good to clear them up. Why ruin your body like this?”

Huo Xingye lowered his eyes and was silent for a long time before nodding, “Thank you for your hard work, you can go back first.”

The Auntie also knew that her words carried little weight, and sighed and left. She had done what she could, and even if she was fired, she would accept it, but if she could really change something, she would be accumulating good fortune for herself.

Huo Xingye silently finished his meal and went to the room at the end of the upstairs.

The moment he opened the door and saw Wen Ting, he was a little dazed. How could Wen Ting have lost so much weight? Her cheeks were sunken, her eyes were dark, her eyes were dull, and her lips were bloodless. She looked like… she was about to die.

“I thought you had forgotten about me.”

Wen Ting was very weak, so weak that she gasped for breath after only saying one sentence.

Huo Xingye hadn’t come to see her for several days, and her changes were too great.

“Do you hate me?”

Wen Ting was a little surprised, then pulled her lips into a smile, and said sarcastically: “Don’t ask if I’ve figured it out?”

Figured out what? Figured out to be with him and be his Madam Huo.

This was the purpose of Huo Xingye locking Wen Ting up.

But, in the current scene, Huo Xingye couldn’t ask.

No one is a fool, and no one will like someone who hurts them, even in the name of love.

“Sorry.” Huo Xingye lowered his eyes and left after saying that.

Wen Ting felt that Huo Xingye was a little strange tonight. When the door opened again and several doctors and nurses came in together and put her on a stretcher and carried her out, she was even more strange.

“Where are you taking me?” Wen Ting looked flustered, fearing that Huo Xingye had gone crazy and was going to carry her out and bury her. In an instant, she had the urge to compromise.

Fortunately, a gentle male voice sounded in time, “Miss Wen, don’t be afraid, we are doctors from Sanhe Hospital. Your body is severely depleted, and you may have to stay in the hospital for a while.”

Wen Ting turned her head and looked over, and what she saw was a young doctor in a white coat. He had a pair of smiling eyes, and the corners of his lips had a faint curve, looking very kind.

She relaxed her body subconsciously, and then asked in disbelief: “Huo Xingye is willing to let me leave?”

The young doctor nodded with a smile, “Of course, President Huo personally called us here.”

Wen Ting was silent, and she sneered until she got out of the elevator: “Do you want to heal me and then continue to imprison me?”

“You’re thinking too much.” The young man comforted with a smile, “President Huo won’t make the same mistake a second time.”

Wen Ting was sent to the ambulance, and the young man sat next to her, lowering his eyes and gently persuading: “Please also ask Miss Wen to see that President Huo has realized his mistakes and is trying hard to make amends, so don’t bother with him.”

Wen Ting looked at him blankly, meaning she should pretend that nothing happened? Then what about the suffering she had endured during this time? Was it deserved?

Asking for a recommendation ticket! Thank you, babies!
