Chapter 26 Marriage first, love later, abuse scum along the way 4

Looking at Gu Youchen’s appearance in the photo, Ning Qingqing should be fifteen or sixteen years old, and at that time, she was still living in the town with her grandmother.

Although the town is not too small, it is not easy to meet someone, but Ning Qingqing has a vague impression of the clothes in Gu Yuchen’s photo.

At that time, the Lakers attracted a lot of attention in China, and many boys liked to wear their uniforms.

When Ning Qingqing was in the town, almost all the boys of the same age she saw were wearing sportswear, but she saw one exception that day.

She remembered that her grandmother asked her to deliver some dried goods to the aunt who opened an inn in the town. When she was walking on the small bridge with her things, a boy in a white shirt approached her.

He was much taller than her, and his skin was fair. Because of the backlight, Ning Qingqing couldn’t see what he looked like at a glance.

The boys in the town are usually very casual, basketball vest, sweatpants, but this boy is the exception she saw.

But Ning Qingqing was never used to staring at someone curiously, so she walked away from him.

However, just as they passed each other, she heard the boy on the other side call her: “Hello.”

Ning Qingqing turned her head, and the boy asked her, “How can I get to Xu’s Inn?”

Xu’s inn was opened by her aunt, and Ning Qingqing called her aunt, but they were not related by blood.

My aunt is dumb. When she was young, she married a man. The man opened a hotel, and she was busy with her.

However, it is also a hard life. When the man went out to buy goods once, he encountered a mudslide on the road and disappeared. She could only drag the infant child to grow up by herself.

Although she can’t speak, everyone in the town takes care of her.

Because she looks quite similar to Ning Qingqing’s mother, plus her grandmother had an acute enteritis, when Ning Qingqing was still young, it was her aunt who drove her to the hospital with her grandmother on her back, so it was all right.

So later, my grandmother recognized my aunt as a goddaughter, and Ning Qingqing also liked to go to her aunt’s house to teach her 4-year-old daughter how to read and sing.

Hearing the boy said that he was going to Xu’s Inn, Ning Qingqing said, “I just want to go there, so follow me!”

As she spoke, she walked ahead, while the boy silently followed behind her.

They arrived at the inn silently all the way, Ning Qingqing went to put dry goods on the road, and then took her aunt’s daughter to the river to wash apples, never paying attention to the boy.

She didn’t have much of an impression of this at first, but she couldn’t resist listening to what girls of the same age in the town were talking about.

They said that a good-looking boy came to the Xu’s Inn, who was different from the boys in the town, so many girls went to wander around the Xu’s Inn if they had nothing to do.

But it seems that less than a week after the boy came, he was injured when he went to the mountains and was picked up by a helicopter.

Ning Qingqing didn’t stare at his face carefully from the beginning to the end, so she only vaguely remembered the outline and his clean and youthful air.

Thinking about it now, it seems to be very similar to Gu Youchen.

Ning Qingqing turned her head and asked Gu Youchen: “Ten years ago in Qingtang Town, a boy asked me for directions, and asked the Xu Family Inn, is that you?”

Gu Youchen never thought that Ning Qingqing would remember, his hands were propped by his sides, his knuckles were slightly bent due to tension, and they turned white under the force.

His throat was slightly dry, and he even wanted to ask Ning Qingqing if she remembered anything other than asking for directions.

However, looking at Shangning Qingqing’s curious eyes without half-discrimination, all his hustle and bustle is only running around in his own world.

He was about to speak when Li Lan asked first, “You Chen, how did you and Qingqing get together? Who chased who first?”

Gu Youchen’s tight breathing was slightly relaxed because of this question, and he said: “I chased her, and I fell in love with her at first sight.”

When he was talking, his eyes fell on the photo, and after he finished speaking, he looked at Ning Qingqing, with a faint light and shadow in his eyes.

Ning Qingqing’s heart beat a little faster when Gu Youchen’s eyes flickered.

But after a while, she realized that Gu Youchen wanted to reassure his mother, so he said that on purpose!

So she raised her small face and smiled at Gu Youchen.

Gu Youchen was so sweet by her smile that he almost impulsively said that it was love at first sight ten years ago.

But he also understood that this would put more pressure on Ning Qingqing.

He also hoped that she would really like him as they got along day by day, instead of forcing herself to accept him because of other factors.

Li Lan has been observing her son’s reaction, knowing a son is like a mother, she understood everything in an instant.

Her son liked her girl ten years ago, and fell in love with her at first sight!

No wonder Gu Youchen went to Qingtang Town not long after he recovered due to injury ten years ago.

In the next few years, he went there several times, and every time he went excitedly, he would be depressed for several days after returning.

Until six years ago, when Gu Youchen came back from studying abroad, he went there again. After returning, he was depressed for a month, and he never went there again.

At that time Li Lan asked him what was going on, but Gu Youchen didn’t say anything, and later even the frequency of returning to China decreased, and he devoted himself to his studies.

After graduation, Gu Heng and Li Lan saw that their son didn’t even have a girlfriend, so as long as Gu Yuchen came back, they would take him to the banquet to meet some girls of the same age, but Gu Yuchen wouldn’t even make friends with him.

A few days ago, he suddenly said on the phone that he was married, and his tone seemed to be serious, but Li Lan could tell that Gu Youchen was very excited. Although he tried his best to restrain himself, every syllable was full of happiness.

My son has never been an impulsive person, Li Lan was very puzzled at the time, but now he understands——

It turned out that ten years of secret love finally came true.

I don’t know what method was used to abduct Shen Zhiqian’s ex-girlfriend home, but he was quick and ruthless, and he seemed like a father.

It’s just a pity that the girls don’t seem to like him yet.

Li Lan planned to help her son.

“You Chen, you are the boy Qingqing mentioned asking for directions?” She smiled and asked, “Did you have any impression of Qingqing at that time?”

The tsunami in Gu Youchen’s heart still hasn’t stopped, he took over Li Lan’s words, and said to Ning Qingqing: “I stayed in Xu’s Inn for a few days, and I met you at that time.”

Ning Qingqing was surprised: “Do you remember?”

Gu Youchen nodded, his eyes were too dark, but he seemed a little too calm, his Adam’s apple rolled, and he said restrainedly: “Well, I remember that the girl who led me at that time was very beautiful.”

Ning Qingqing was suddenly praised, a little embarrassed, she smiled: “You must have said that on purpose now that you know it’s me.”

Gu Youchen didn’t correct her, he thought that one day, he would take her to explore the whole story between them from his perspective back then.

“Really not.” Gu Heng, who had been reading financial magazines, raised his head and interjected: “Qingqing, You Chen must have been interested in you at that time, so—”

Before she finished speaking, Li Lan stuffed a Sunshine Rose grape into her mouth.

Gu Heng looked at Li Lan with a suppressed expression on his face, Li Lan turned his back to Ning Qingqing, and winked at Gu Heng, as if to say—

You will die if you don’t interrupt?

How come I don’t see you talking so much!

Gu Heng had no choice but to remain silent.

And Li Lan immediately changed the subject: “Qingqing, you and You Chen haven’t taken wedding photos yet, have you?”

Ning Qingqing nodded.

Li Lan smiled and said, “We’ll discuss it with the in-laws when they come over for the wedding, how you and the young couple will take wedding photos. But now I can draw a group photo for you.”

Ning Qingqing, Li Lan’s painter, had met her on the Internet a long time ago, and she was flattered when she heard this: “Ah, will this be a waste of time? Mom, you don’t need to bother…”

“No trouble, no trouble.” Li Lan got up and called Gu Youchen, “You Chen, go to my studio to get ready.”

Ten minutes later, Ning Qingqing and Gu Youchen sat in front of the easel.

Li Lan looked at the two people who were sitting upright, and said, “Relax, the young couple didn’t come from time travel in the 50s and 60s.”

Hearing this, Gu Youchen raised his arm and landed on Ning Qingqing’s shoulder.

Ning Qingqing was a little stiff, especially when she was facing Li Lan.

Li Lan took a pencil to outline the outline first: “Relax a little more, I need time to start a draft, and you will be tired after sitting like this for less than ten minutes.”

“Qingqing—” Gu Youchen turned his head and called Ning Qingqing beside him.

Ning Qingqing raised her eyes subconsciously: “Huh?”

In the next second, the man’s hand slid up from her shoulder, landed on her head, and then pressed lightly.

Ning Qingqing’s head rested on Gu Youchen’s shoulder.

Her breath trembled, and the nervousness made her mind go blank for a moment.

She and Gu Youchen had never been so close before. Her arm was pressed against his ribs, and because his hand fell back to her shoulder, half of her body almost fell into his arms.

“Isn’t this easier?” Gu Youchen asked.

Ning Qingqing waited for two seconds before responding: “Yes.”

She didn’t dare to move, she just quietly leaned on Gu Yuchen’s shoulder.

And the man looked down at the **** his shoulder, because he tried his best to suppress the frantic heartbeat, and even his breathing was a little heavy.

Slowly letting out a breath, Gu Youchen turned his head slightly towards Ning Qingqing’s side, so that her head was tightly attached to his shoulder and neck.

Li Lan pretended to get up to get the painting utensils, and when she passed by Gu Youchen’s side, she gave him a thumbs up.

Although Li Lan is skilled in painting, because her paintings are all realistic, she strives for perfection in modeling, and must try to be as close to one-to-one as possible.

It takes about an hour to start the shape, and every detail needs to be adjusted, so that the later painting will be more realistic.

Ning Qingqing was still a little stiff at first, but gradually her neck became a little sore, and her back couldn’t hold up anymore.

So, she had no choice but to let herself relax, and leaned even tighter on Gu Youchen.

For such a moment, she seemed to vaguely feel that the man’s heart was beating a little faster, but she still wanted to distinguish carefully, but his other empty hand grabbed his fingers again.

He took her hand in his palm.

Ning Qingqing’s attention was all distracted, and then she also became nervous, not knowing whose heart was beating faster.

When Li Lan finished her pose, Gu Youchen let her go, lowered her eyes and asked her, “Are you tired?”

The distance between the two is still very close, Ning Qingqing can even see Gu Youchen’s distinct eyelashes clearly.

Her nose still had the clear pine scent from his body, which somehow made people blush.

Ning Qingqing shook her head: “Not tired, is your shoulder numb?”

Gu Youchen smiled: “If you sleep on it for another day, I might become numb.”

one day…

Ning Qingqing made up her mind, a day is 24 hours, that is including night?

Gu Youchen shouldn’t mean that, right?

She quickly shook off this conjecture from her mind, and got up to read Li Lan’s sketch.

“Oh my god, it seems…” Although she had expected it, Ning Qingqing was amazed to see the portrait that was almost reproduced.

Li Lan said with a smile: “It’s just a simple draft now, and it will take at least three months to finish the painting. I hope it can be completed before your wedding, and I will give it to you as a wedding gift.”

Ning Qingqing was already looking forward to it: “Okay, thank you Mom.”

An oil painting painted by my mother-in-law is more valuable than any wedding photo.

At noon, everyone sat down to eat together.

Ning Qingqing discovered that Li Lan was quite picky about what to eat, while Gu Heng spoiled her very much, picking up what she didn’t like.

As for Ning Qingqing, who came to the house for the first time, although they greeted her warmly, they did not take care of her deliberately, which made her feel more relaxed.

The atmosphere at home is very good, Ning Qingqing thought, no wonder since she met Gu Youchen, she felt that this man had a good personality, so it was because of family factors.

He lives in an environment that does not lack love. Unlike Shen Zhiqian, he seems to be more tolerant.

In the afternoon, Li Lan couldn’t help but take a nap, so Gu Yuchen took a rest after lunch and took Ning Qingqing home.

Before leaving, everyone agreed that when Ning Qingqing’s parents came over, they would gather together to discuss the wedding.

Coming out of the Gu family’s villa, the two walked to the parking place.

Gu Youchen looked down at Ning Qingqing’s hand, and reached out to hold it.

Ning Qingqing raised her eyes and met the man’s clear eyes.

She didn’t break free, and let him lead her.

Until they got into the car together, Gu Youchen didn’t let go.

Ning Qingqing thinks that they are all working hard to manage this relationship, maybe one day, they will be as sweet as Gu Heng and Li Lan after decades.

For the first time, she had expectations in her heart.

She also wants to know what a complete family is like, which she has never experienced in her more than 20 years of growing up.

That night, Ning Qingqing received a call from Nie Yu, saying that employees from other departments of the company came over one after another tonight. Tomorrow, they will clean the company during the day and ask the administrator to reserve a place in a club near the company in the evening. Everyone just got together.

Ning Qingqing then took the initiative to explain that she would help organize the company tomorrow morning.

So in the morning, Gu Youchen drove her to the current office building of Ning Chuang Capital, and Ning Qingqing said goodbye to him and walked up.

“Qingqing is here?” Xiao Zhu from the administration department was instructing his colleagues to hang up the company logo, when he turned around and saw Ning Qingqing.

Ning Qingqing knew him. She had been to Ningchuang Capital several times before, and it was Xiao Zhu who received her.

“Brother Zhu, I came here today to see if I can help.” Ning Qingqing pointed to herself: “The sportswear I’m wearing is especially suitable for work!”

Xiao Zhu smiled and said, “No problem, Mr. Ning said, the young lady has to do odd jobs when she comes over.”

As he said that, he turned his head and yelled at everyone in the company: “Qingqing is here, please show me what you have, we dare not instruct Mr. Ning, so we will take revenge on Mr. Ning’s daughter!”

“Come on!” Everyone heard the voice and came over together. Some of them were familiar with Ning Qingqing, and regardless of their gray body, they gave Ning Qingqing a bear hug when they came up: “Oh, my sister, she is getting more and more fresh!”

Ning Qingqing smiled, she suddenly thought of a sentence –

What is lost is the mulberry elm that is harvested in the east.

She lost her nine-year relationship and got a marriage that made her expect;

She lost her job for two years, but gained such a passionate team.

Just like a saying that I read online: Don’t fall in love with the past, don’t mess with the present, and don’t welcome the future.

She strives to live well in the present, embraces life, and believes that the future will reward her accordingly.

There are still some unfamiliar faces today. After everyone introduces them one by one, we will start working again.

Ning Qingqing was not afraid of getting dirty, she wore gloves and went with them to wipe the table, sweep the floor and move things.

Everyone’s lunch is a simple takeaway box lunch, and each of them carries a portion and sits on a clean desk to eat.

The signboards in the office area have also been placed, and Ning Qingqing looked at hers, looking forward to going to work officially.

In the afternoon, the transportation company brought over the new office chairs, and everyone unloaded and put things away, and it was already four or five o’clock in the afternoon after finishing.

Ning Qingqing knew that she was here for work when she came here today, so she prepared extra clean clothes. After finishing my work here, I went with everyone to the hotel where they stayed to take a shower and change clothes.

Many families are in the south, and it was troublesome to find a house after coming here. Mr. Ning generously rented a house for everyone near the company. After an agreement on time, they can officially move in next week.

After changing her clothes, Ning Qingqing called Gu Youchen: “Youchen, we are going to the Qingyang club near the company for team building, and I guess we will be late home.”

Gu Youchen replied: “Okay, call me when it’s almost over, and I’ll pick you up.”

This Sunday, his wife was not at home, Mr. Gu was watching the financial news listlessly on the sofa, feeling aggrieved by being alone in the vacant room.

Just after hanging up the phone, Gu Youchen received a video invitation from Zhou Linghang.

Gu Youchen frowned in disgust, but still took it.

Zhou Linghang’s face appeared in the camera: “Brother Chen, come out to get together? Ye Peicheng’s closed filming is over, and I just came back today, let’s get together!”

Before Gu Youchen could speak, he discovered that there were a few more people in the video call. It turned out that Zhou Linghang had sent a video invitation in the group, and now almost all of them came in.

“Brother Chen, can’t you come out? Isn’t Brother Chen staying at home with his wife recently?”

“Brother Ye, you don’t know that Brother Chen is married, do you? It’s a sudden marriage! Yo, we haven’t been able to date since the sudden marriage!”

“Not only can’t I get an appointment, but I usually work so hard overtime, and now I can’t find him when I get off work!”

“Brother Chen, come out, Peicheng finally came back, let’s get together!”

Ye Peicheng also grew up with everyone, but he entered the entertainment industry and won the best actor trophy at a young age. He is usually so busy with various advertising endorsements that he rarely comes back.

He looked at Gu Youchen alone, and asked, “Youchen, where are your siblings? Make an appointment?”

Gu Youchen said lightly: “She has a company party today, where are you going to gather? Let’s try to go as early as possible, and I will pick her up at night.”

“Yo yo, it’s different to have a wife!”

“Look at Brother Chen, he used to be a woman insulator, but now he is a 24-filial good man!”

“Hey, you guys don’t know, Brother Chen is especially good at digging…”

Before Zhou Linghang could finish his sentence, he met Gu Youchen’s chilly gaze, and immediately dared not speak.

Several other people scratched their hearts and lungs in the video, especially wanting to know, but Zhou Linghang really didn’t say anything.

“Our location hasn’t been decided yet, or—” Zhou Linghang changed the subject.

Gu Youchen said: “Then why not go to Qingyang Club?”

“Eh, brother Chen also knows where?” Zhou Linghang was surprised.

Gu Youchen said: “My wife is meeting with colleagues there.”

“Fuck!” Zhou Linghang was speechless: “Is this guarding my sister-in-law in case she is approached by someone?”

Everyone laughed, but quickly settled down and went over there.

Just kidding, they are already very curious about Gu Youchen’s daughter-in-law, okay?

What’s even more curious is, what does Gu Youchen look like in front of his wife?

On the other side, Ning Qingqing and the others changed their clothes, and because the distance was not far away, they strolled to Qingyang.

Although this club takes the mid-to-high-end route, because it focuses on young people’s culture, the private rooms are semi-open.

In the so-called private room, the partition is not a wall, but a pure crystal curtain and green plants, so that each private room can faintly see each other, which is especially suitable for young people to make friends and have an affair.

I heard that the **** index here is very high. Since the club opened, there have been several couples who have had **** here and finally got married.

After Ning Qingqing and his group came over, they chose a relatively quiet private room. Xiao Zhu was very good at enlivening the atmosphere. While eating small dishes, while toasting and changing glasses, the atmosphere was already heated up.

Not long after, Gu Youchen and his friends came here one after another. What they wanted was the private room in the innermost part. Because Ye Peicheng was top class, they even found him a seat that no outsiders could see.

As soon as he sat down, Zhou Linghang winked at everyone: “Do you see the side diagonally ahead? One of them is my sister-in-law!”

Everyone looked at it together, but the crystal bead curtain was shaking slightly, so they couldn’t see clearly what was going on there.

At this time, Ye Peicheng’s cell phone rang in the corner. Seeing that it was a well-known director in the circle, he swiped to answer it: “Director Su—”

The two chatted for a while, Ye Peicheng said: “Director Su will come over later, do you mind?”

Everyone shook their heads: “It’s okay, we are not public figures, we are here today to help Brother Chen guard his wife.”

At the same time, Director Su hung up the phone and said to Shen Zhiqian beside him, “Zhiqian, your father said that you’ve been bored at home recently, and there just happened to be an emergency today. I’m going to meet a friend, let’s go together.”

Director Su is a close friend of Shen Zhiqian’s father, and the two grew up in the same compound when they were young, so they regard Shen Zhiqian as his half son and care about him very much.

Shen Zhiqian subconsciously wanted to refuse, but suddenly remembered that Xue Wenlan said that she would come to his apartment today to explain what happened in the video, and he felt annoyed, so he nodded in agreement:

“Okay, Uncle Su, I’ll go. You talk to your friends first, and I’ll ask a few friends to go there too. It’s so lively.”

The author has something to say:

Babes, I have exhausted all my powers, and today I can’t help but eat cakes when typing to write so many words…

Well, the Shura field mode will be officially launched tomorrow, and I will pull Kenny and Si Luoqing out to let Brother Chen help Qingqing get revenge~
