After this period of tribulation, Gu Qingxiang's temperament had been tempered a lot. When he saw Gu Man again, Gu Qingxiang had completely lost his annoying arrogance, and he was somewhat scornful.
Because too many things happened during this period, Gu Qingxiang is no longer as prosperous as before. He has become a lot more vicissitudes and haggard, and he is busy with the company's affairs every day.
However, things in the company still didn't improve, and he couldn't hold on any longer.
Now, it was hard for him to ask Gu Man to borrow money again, because he knew that the other party would not give it. And even if you have money, if there is no business coming to your door, then the money cannot be spent.
Gu Man didn't ask about Gu Qingxiang's current situation because she didn't bother to care about how he was doing.
When Gu Qingxiang saw Lin Lijuan, he frowned, but did not show any disgust.
"Lijuan..." Gu Qingxiang shouted, but Lin Lijuan had no reaction because she didn't even know what her name was.
"She doesn't know anyone now, and she doesn't even know her name. Let's buy clothes for her first, and then go to eat. After eating, let's take her to the hospital for a checkup!" Gu Man said.
"Okay" Gu Qingxiang responded, and then went to help Lin Lijuan, but Lin Lijuan was startled and hurriedly hid behind Gu Man.
Gu Qingxiang had no choice but to turn around and leave, followed by Gu Man and others.
Got in the car and drove towards the mall.
Along the way, Gu Man and Gu Qingxiang did not communicate. What happened to Lin Lijuan was left to Gu Qingxiang to ask.
A group of people came to the mall and took Lin Lijuan to buy clothes.
Because Gu Qingxiang didn't have much money now, he went to ordinary stores.
If Gu Qingxiang was not here, Gu Man would pay Lin Lijuan, but if Gu Qingxiang was here, he would naturally pay it himself.
But if we want to eat later, Gu Man naturally doesn't mind paying.
"Hey! Isn't this Mrs. Lin? Didn't you dislike this low-end store before? Why are you here to look at clothes in such a low-end store now!"
As soon as Lin Lijuan changed clothes and came out of the fitting room, a mocking female voice came.
However, Lin Lijuan didn't react at all because she didn't know that the other person was talking about her!
Gu Man and Qiao Ya looked at the woman. She was about forty years old. She was dressed in ordinary clothes and had a mean look on her face, which was very similar to Lin Lijuan from before.
Along with that woman, there was another woman about her age.
When she didn't get a response from Lin Lijuan, the woman was a little unhappy and continued, "Lin Lijuan, I really sympathize with you. Your daughter is in jail, your husband is cheating, and even the company is going bankrupt. From now on, I'll see what capital you still have in me." You are so arrogant in front of me!”
This attitude is so unsatisfactory!
Also, she and Lin Lijuan have known each other for many years. Because her family is ordinary and Lin Lijuan's family is rich, many of them show off in front of them and look down on her, so she has long held a grudge in her heart.
If it weren't for the fact that there were people in Lin Lijuan's family who sometimes needed her help, she would have fallen out with Lin Lijuan a long time ago. I have to say that this woman is ungrateful. Although Lin Lijuan looked down on her and showed off to her a lot, she didn't do anything to her and even helped her a lot. But now that Lin Lijuan was in despair, she was humiliated in turn.
Sure enough, jealousy can really distort a person's mentality, even for the benefactor who has helped him.
After hearing this, everyone turned towards Lin Lijuan one after another, with expressions of contempt or sympathy.
When Gu Qingxiang, who was sitting on the sofa, heard this, his face suddenly felt a little hot, and he was a little angry in his heart, but he couldn't express his anger, because he was indeed wrong about the cheating.
Because Gu Qingxiang had his head buried in reading a magazine, the two women did not see him and did not recognize Gu Man and Qiao Ya. Otherwise, the woman would not have ridiculed so unscrupulously.
However, Lin Lijuan still didn't respond, but Gu Man couldn't listen anymore and retorted: "Madam, please pay attention to your image. It is very uncultured to judge others in public."
Hearing this, the woman's expression suddenly flashed with discomfort, and she scolded unhappily: "What does it have to do with you? I'm not talking about you."
"Then what happens to others is none of your business? What right do you have to criticize others here!" Gu Man said.
"You..." The woman suddenly became angry and didn't know how to retort. The other woman didn't want to cause trouble, so she immediately pulled the woman away.
After the two women left, Gu Man and others also paid and left.
Gu Man took them to the restaurant, asked for a private room, and ordered food.
After ordering the food, Gu Qingxiang called Lin Dechang to ask about Lin Lijuan.
"What's the matter?" Lin Dechang asked in a bad tone, because the cheating incident had soured the relationship between the two families.
"Didn't Lijuan have a good time in the Lin family before? Why didn't you tell me when she left? Now something happened, do you know?" Gu Qingxiang asked with some displeasure.
"What?" Lin Dechang was shocked when he heard this. Then he remembered that there had been no news about Lin Lijuan for several days. Hearing Gu Qingxiang's words, Lin Dechang felt a little guilty and uneasy. He didn't know what happened to Lin Lijuan, so he hurriedly asked Said: "What happened to Lijuan?"
"She was mentally abnormal. She was walking around on the street like a beggar. She was beaten because she stole steamed buns when she was hungry. If Gu Man hadn't met her, I might not have found out until she died." Gu Qingxiang said angrily.
"What?" Lin Dechang was shocked when he heard this, and immediately explained: "She left a few days ago and didn't take her phone with her. I thought she went to find her friends!"
Since Lin Dechang said this, it was not easy for Gu Qingxiang to pursue him. After all, Lin Lijuan was an adult, not a child. No one had the obligation to look after her, and no one expected that such a thing would happen.
"Then she was still mentally normal when she left?" Gu Qingxiang asked.
"She was in normal spirits when she left, otherwise how could I let her leave!" Lin Dechang said with some displeasure, feeling that Gu Qingxiang's words were suspicious that he didn't care whether Lin Lijuan lived or died.
He neglected Lin Lijuan, but he didn't let her out even though he knew she was mentally unstable!
Moreover, Lin Lijuan would not come that night, so he asked Lin Yuehao to look for her!
Although he was a little unhappy, he would not stand by and watch if something happened to Lin Lijuan: "She can't become mentally abnormal for no reason. How about going to the police station to report the case and let the police check and monitor what happened to Lijuan. "
"Yeah" Gu Qingxiang responded and hung up.
