Everyone Is Numb

The strange feeling in Gu Qin’s heart rose again. “Little Yuan, what exactly is your uncle’s identity? As an executive of EL Entertainment, how can you interfere in the business of EL Entertainment? If I remember correctly, EL International and EL Entertainment are two branches that do not interfere with each other!”

As soon as Su Yuan heard this, she knew she couldn’t keep it a secret anymore. Actually, she didn’t want to hide it from them, but if she told them Mo Ting’s identity, they would eventually find out that they were married. At that time, she didn’t know how she would scold her!

“That…you all know that EL just had a new president, right?”

Xu Yingying exclaimed, “I know. My dad was very envious that their company’s CEO was invited to attend!”

Su Yuan scratched her nose and said, “That’s him…”

Gu Qin was speechless.

Xu Yingying was speechless.

Qu Lin was speechless.

There was a strange silence around them.

After that, Qu Lin threw her chopsticks on the ground with a cry, causing the surrounding diners to think that she had eaten a dead rat and look over.

Xu Yingying took a sip of water silently. She had learned too many explosive things today, and she was already numb to it.

Gu Qin’s face was dark, and he looked at Su Yuan with a complicated expression. “Is he just your uncle?”

“He’s so old, of course he’s only my uncle!” The steam from the hotpot blurred Su Yuan’s vision. She reached her chopsticks into the pot and picked up a piece of beef. “This is a secret. Don’t tell anyone even if you know. The Bai family has been pursuing my mom and me. My mom is recuperating at his house. I don’t want the Bai family to know where we are going.”

Xu Yingying said, “Don’t worry, Little Yuan. My friends don’t know much about the business world. Many people don’t know what an ‘EL’ is. I’ll keep it a secret for you. By the way, how’s Auntie? How’s your body?”

After Xu Yingying changed the topic, Gu Qin and Qu Lin stopped asking about Mo Ting.

Su Yuan said, “Brother Gu Qin, after I join the military, please help me keep an eye on Zhang Yi. After the Pei family withdraws their funds, his position will be very awkward. No matter what news you take about him, just post it on the internet. Since Pei Ruichen wants him to be a mentor, he must be interested in his popularity. We must make good use of it.”

Hearing that, Qu Lin immediately gave Gu Qin the contact information of the paparazzi master she used to work with. “Boss, my master is famous in the industry for his ability to secretly take photos. You can consider using him.”

Xu Yingying said, “Little Yuan, I can’t help you with anything. But don’t worry. I’ve already spoken to the people around me. Friends, classmates, aunties, they’ll all vote for you. I’ll always help you get votes!”

When Qu Lin heard that, she was extremely touched. She picked up her drink and clinked glasses with Xu Yingying. “Sister Yingying, you’re the best. I’ll thank you in advance!” After saying that, she raised her head and finished the entire cup of coconut milk.

The hotpot meal ended with the four people’s laughter.

Gu Qin went to pay the bill, and the three girls walked out hand in hand with their round bellies.

Qu Lin said, “It’s over. I’ve had enough today. Tomorrow, it’ll definitely be swollen. What should I do?”

Su Yuan rolled her eyes at her. you knew it would cause swelling. “Why didn’t you eat more?!”

“It’s too fragrant, I can’t control my mouth!” Qu Lin exclaimed.

Seeing that Gu Qin had not come out yet, the three of them stood at the entrance waiting for him. Two stainless steel spring Festival couplets were stuck on both sides of the hot pot restaurant’s entrance, and they were so polished that they were reflecting light.

Su Yuan saw that Qu Lin was really full of herself and said, “Red bean and barley, boil it in water and drink it in a ratio of one to one. It’s good for induce dylosen and reduce swelling. Drink a bowl of it before you go to bed tonight, and another bowl tomorrow morning. The swelling should not go down.”

Qu Lin’s face was full of doubt, “Will it work? I don’t seem to have barley at home.”

“The supermarket must be closed at this time. The hotpot restaurant might have some. I’ll ask around for you.” Su Yuan was about to head back to the hotpot restaurant.

The moment she turned around, she instinctively glanced at the stainless steel spring festival couplets. The couplets were as bright as a mirror. A figure flashed across the couplets, and when Su Yuan quickly turned around to look, the person had already disappeared. That person just now seemed to be the woman who had put drugs in her bag the other day!

Su Yuan was about to chase after him when someone suddenly grabbed her arm.

“Little Yuan, what’s wrong?” Gu Qin had just paid the bill when he saw Su Yuan’s serious expression.

Xu Yingying and Qu Lin also came over.

“Qu Lin, I think I just saw that woman,” Su Yuan said.

Hearing this, Qu Lin’s face changed, “Where did you see it? Should we call the police?”

“Call the police? What’s going on?” Gu Qin’s expression was a little unsightly. When he came out of the hot pot restaurant, he saw a woman, and she saw him as well, so she ran away. Wasn’t she just…
