Huo Wanqing had no intention of staying there. After glancing at Lin Qingran, she turned and left.

Lin Qingran stood in front of the French windows, watching Huo Wanqing's beautiful figure walk out of the courtyard and get into a black car parked outside.

Before getting into the car, she glanced in the direction of Sixiang Garden. It was quite far away, so Lin Qingran couldn't see what her expression was.

However, Huo Wanqing's warning just now clearly revealed a message.

She knew about the relationship between Liang Jiaowei and her.

Lin Qingran gently rubbed her forehead.

If her relationship with Liang Jiaowei were exposed, it would affect not only Liang Jiaowei, but also the Lin family.

The Lin family has kept a very low profile in recent years because her eldest brother's current career does not allow the Lin family to be too high-profile.

A tall tree catches the wind, so the Lin family has always been very careful.

She was afraid that someone would try to find something to use against her older brother and take action against the Lin family.

Now that Liang Jiaowei has appeared in Beicheng, she may be targeted by someone with ulterior motives.

It was rare for Aunt Wang to see such a tired look on Lin Qingran's face, so she walked over to her and whispered something.

"Miss, how about we go abroad for a rest for a while?"

"Find a place where your son-in-law can't find you; it'll be better for you that way too."

Finding a place where Gu Moxuan couldn't find him wasn't too difficult for Lin Qingran.

But there are just too many things I can't give up.

She felt like she was stuck in a dead end, slowly tapping on each brick in the wall, trying to find a crack.

“Wang Ma, if it really comes to that, I might need you to help me take care of the child.”

Aunt Wang nodded seriously. She had been working for the Lin family since she was in her twenties and was now almost fifty years old. Lin Qingran could be said to have been raised by her.

To Wang Ma, Lin Qingran was like her child.

If Lin Qingran's child needs her to take care of him, then I will definitely do my best without hesitation.

This also shows just how much Lin Qingran trusts her.

“Miss, you can rest assured about that. If you are unable to take care of the child later, I will take good care of the child for you even if I am abroad.”

Lin Qingran frowned slightly, bit her lip lightly, and then said softly.

"It's not entirely necessary to be abroad."

She had a plan, but it seemed a bit too far ahead to talk about it now, so Lin Qingran didn't go into details.

She walked to the sofa and sat down, glancing at the tea leaves on the table. These were the fine Longjing teas that Old Mrs. Gu had sent over before.

Now that she's calmed down and looks at these tea leaves, Lin Qingran is reminded of Old Madam Gu.

I've been arguing with Gu Moxuan all this time and forgot about such an important matter.

"Call the Gu family and ask if Grandma Gu has been discharged from the hospital."

Since marrying Gu Moxuan, the relationship between the Lin family and the Gu family has undergone some subtle changes.

After calling the Gu family's housekeeper to inquire about the situation, Wang Ma learned that Old Madam Gu had already been discharged from the hospital the day before yesterday.

I heard that Lin Qingran injured her foot, which is why I didn't tell her.

By now, it's been almost half a month since Grandma Gu was hospitalized.

Her foot injury has almost healed, and even if she maintains a superficial friendship with the Gu family, she still needs to visit Old Madam Gu.

"Wang Ma, bring out the gifts I prepared for the old lady. Let's go to the Gu family's house."

Regardless of anything else, her current status remains that of the young mistress of the Gu family.

Despite the deep conflict between her and Gu Moxuan, Old Madam Gu has always treated her very well.

"Yes, miss, I'll get ready right away."

......

Early the next morning.

Lin Qingran and Wang Ma arrived at the Gu family's house together. Just as Wang Ma handed the gifts Lin Qingran brought to the housekeeper, they heard the familiar sound of a sports car engine coming from the Gu family's gate.

A hint of doubt flashed in Wang Ma's eyes. She turned around and saw Gu Moxuan getting out of the car.

He strode towards Lin Qingran with his long legs, having changed out of his suit into casual sportswear.

Despite being dressed in sportswear, his handsome face remained stern and exuded a natural air of nobility.

"Miss, the uncle is here."

Wang Ma whispered a reminder to Lin Qingran.

Lin Qingran nodded slightly, a faint smile appearing on her exquisite and aloof face.

Gu Moxuan followed her back, probably worried that she might say something to Old Madam Gu, which is why he came back in such a hurry.

The man walked to her side with a cold face, put his arm around her waist, and said expressionlessly.

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming back to see Grandma? Grandma isn't in good health. If she saw you come back alone and I wasn't there, wouldn't she be angry?"

He tightened his grip on her waist, forcing a fake smile as he spoke.

Lin Qingran smiled faintly and spoke softly.

"I was afraid you were busy, so I didn't call you."

Her lips curved into a smile, and her eyes softened.

Since Gu Moxuan was going to put on an act in front of Old Madam Gu, she would naturally cooperate.

Gu Moxuan frowned slightly, seeing her so cooperative, her beautiful eyes smiling, she was particularly radiant.

They were a loving couple, as if nothing had ever happened between them.

Only they themselves know the true extent of the chasm between them.

Gu Moxuan took a deep breath, his heart aching at her smiling eyes.

This woman is truly heartless!

Her obedient and docile cooperation is proof that he holds no place in her heart!

Gu Moxuan gripped her waist tightly. Her waist was slender and delicate, as if he could snap her in two with the slightest effort.

He gripped her hand quite firmly, causing her delicate brows to furrow slightly as he glanced at her sideways.

The butler watched the intimate interaction between the two, and the corners of his lips unconsciously curled up.

Lin Qingran and Gu Moxuan are both exceptionally good-looking and unforgettable, so when they stand together harmoniously, they are as beautiful as a painting.

The Gu family is generally aware of the incident where Gu Moxuan angered Old Master Gu last time.

Although their standing together at this moment is partly acting, it's still better than the two of them confronting each other.

"When the old lady heard that the young mistress was coming, she had breakfast prepared early in the morning."

"Now that the young master is back, the old lady is naturally very happy."

Lin Qingran smiled slightly.

Gu Yihuai walked out of the door, his cynical gaze falling on the hand around Lin Qingran's waist, and he smiled.

"It seems that the two of them have gotten along much better recently."

His gaze gradually moved downwards, landing on Lin Qingran's feet, which were wearing flat shoes, and he said in a low voice.

"It seems the medicine I gave you is quite effective; you've recovered so quickly, and your complexion has improved a lot."

As he finished speaking, Lin Qingran felt the man beside her grip her waist tighten his grip even more.

Turning her head, she saw the man beside her give her a cold, sharp look, his deep eyes filled with a strong sense of possessiveness.
