Chapter 715: 715
After being through a hard time, Gu Qinxiang became much more friendly . When he met Gu Man again, he wasn’t so arrogant as usual at all, and even seemed a little submissive .
Gu Qinxiang had aged a lot during this hard time, and he was busy dealing with the crisis of his company . However, it seemed that his company was doomed to bankruptcy .
He felt too embarrassed to ask Gu Man for money now, because he didn’t know whether Gu Man was willing to help him . Besides, even if he got the money, it would soon be consumed if he failed to strike a business deal .
Gu Man, at the same time, didn’t bother to ask how everything was going in Gu Qinxiang’s life .
When Gu Qinxiang saw Lin Lijuan, he frowned, but didn’t show any disdain .
“Lijuan,” Gu Qinxiang called her, but Lin Lijuan didn’t have any reactions, because she had already forgotten her name .
“She doesn’t know anyone, nor who she is right now . Let’s go buy some new clothing for her before we take her to eat some food!” Gu Man said .
“Sure,” Gu Qinxiang said, and went to support Lin Lijuan with his hands, but Lin Lijuan was scared and hid behind Gu Man’s back at once .
Gu Qinxiang didn’t know what to do, so he turned around and walked out, followed by them . They got in the car, and left for a shopping mall .
On the way, Gu Man didn’t talk with Gu Qinxiang . What had happened to Lin Lijuan was something Gu Qinxiang should figure out himself .
They soon arrived at the shopping mall, and took Lin Lijuan to buy some new clothes for her .
Gu Qinxiang lacked money now, so they went to a normal clothing shop .
If Gu Qinxiang wasn’t here, Gu Man would pay for Lin Lijuan, but since he was here now, he would pay the bill himself .
However, Gu Man didn’t mind paying the bill when they went to share a meal together later .
“Oh, isn’t this Mrs . Gu? Didn’t you hate such a normal clothing shop before? Why did you suddenly come here to buy clothes?”
The moment Lin Lijuan walked out from a changing room, a woman said in an unkind tone .
Lin Lijuan, however, had no reaction at all, because she didn’t know that the woman was laughing at her .
Gu Man and Qiao Ya turned to look at the woman . She was around 40 years old and was dressed in normal clothing and had the same mean expression as Lin Lijuan did in the old days . There was another woman of the same age as her by her side .
When she didn’t hear a response from Lin Lijuan’, the woman was displeased and added, “Lin Lijuan, I feel so sorry for you now . Your daughter is in jail, and your husband has cheated on you . Even his company is about to go bankrupt! I don’t think you’re qualified to make fun of me from now on!”
The woman sounded quite satisfied . She had known Lin Lijuan for many years, and Lin Lijuan had shown off in front of her many times, so she never forgot her hatred towards Lin Lijuan .
If it hadn’t been for the fact that she needed Lin Lijuan’s help, she would have argued with Lin Lijuan a long time ago .
In fact, this woman was also very ungrateful . Although Lin Lijuan had despised her, Lin Lijuan had helped her a lot after all . However, Lin Lijuan was in a bad condition now, so she came to humiliate Lin Lijuan in a public place .
Jealousy could easily distort a person’s mindset, and made a person ungrateful at the same time .
Hearing the woman’s loud voice, many people in the shop looked at Lin Lijuan with sympathy or disdain .
Gu Qinxiang, who was sitting on a sofa, felt ashamed and annoyed, but didn’t know what to say, because he had cheated on Lin Lijuan .
Gu Qinxiang was reading a magazine, so the two women didn’t notice him . They didn’t know Gu Man or Qiao Ya either, otherwise they wouldn’t have been so arrogant .
However, Lin Lijuan still stood there with an expressionless face . Gu Man, on the other hand, couldn’t stand it anymore . “This lady, please mind your personal image and don’t forget your manners!”
The woman felt a little embarrassed, but retorted at once, “It’s none of your business! I’m not talking about you . ”
“You don’t have the right to judge another person either!” Gu Man said .
“You…” The woman was mad, but didn’t know what to say . The other woman didn’t want to cause a scene, so she pulled her and walked away .
After the two women were gone, Gu Man’s group also left .
Gu Man took them to a restaurant and booked a private room before they started to order dishes .
Gu Qinxiang called Lin Dechang after ordering, trying to figure out what had happened to Lin Lijuan .
“What?” Lin Dechang sounded very aggressive . They had a bad relationship ever since Lin Dechang found out that Gu Qinxiang had cheated on Lin Lijuan .
“Didn’t Lijuan stay at your place? Why didn’t you tell me that she left your house? Do you know that she’s in a really terrible condition right now?” Gu Qinxiang questioned in annoyance .
“What?” Lin Dechang was surprised, then remembered that he hadn’t seen Lin Lijuan for a couple of days . “What has happened to Lijuan?”
“She has wandered on the street like a beggar, and was being beaten by a man after stealing several steamed buns . She also has a mental problem now . If Gu Man hadn’t found her by accident, I probably wouldn’t find out until she died!” Gu Qinxiang was angry .
“What?” Lin Dechang was shocked now and explained it at once . “She left my house a few days ago without bringing her phone . I thought that she went to find her friends!”
Since Lin Dechang said so, Gu Qinxiang couldn’t blame him for everything . Lin Lijuan was an adult after all, and it was nobody’s duty to take care of her like she was a baby .
“Was she in a normal mental condition when she left your house?” Gu Qinxiang asked .
“Of course, or we wouldn’t allow her to leave!” Lin Dechang argued . It sounded like Gu Qinxiang was blaming him because he didn’t care about Lin Lijuan’s life .
He did haven’t taken good care of Lin Lijuan, but he wouldn’t let Lin Lijuan leave the house if he knew that she had a mental problem . In addition, he had told Lin Yuehao to find her that night when Lin Lijuan hadn’t come back .
Although Lin Dechang was also displeased, he still wouldn’t stand aside and do nothing since Lin Lijuan was in trouble now . “I think she must have been through something before she got the mental problem . Why don’t we call the police and check the surveillance cameras to see what happened to her?”
“Sure,” Gu Qinxiang said, then hung up .
