Replacing the Evil Way

Chapter 17: Maternal solo

Views:

It is the season for eating crabs recently. Qin Guan sent several boxes of crabs a few days ago. They could not be eaten in one meal, so they would be empty if they were steamed again. Ms. Qiao opened the remaining crabs, saved the crab meat for cooking, and froze the crab roe to prepare crab roe buns today.

She has already prepared the fillings and bun skins, and all that’s left is to start wrapping them.

Ms. Qiao was quite worried and shouted to the kitchen: "Is it okay? If not, call me."

Gu Yiming was very confident, "Don't worry."

After that, he instructed the two people, "Get a piece of skin and wrap the stuffing. Don't let it leak out. That's it."

Although it was difficult for the two to get started, they were able to wrap things quite well after becoming proficient.

"It's really ugly." Qin Guan commented.

"Little Baozi can't stand hearing that kind of talk." Lin Jiaqiao was very open-minded, "It's going to turn into shit in the end anyway."

Qin Guan: ... Little Baozi really likes to listen to this kind of thing.

Gu Yiming glanced at Lin Jiaqiao several times, and finally couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Zizhi, are you crying?"

He looked at Qin Guan suspiciously, then at Lin Jiaqiao, and said with certainty: "She just cried."

Lin Jiaqiao didn't think there was anything shameful about crying, and told Gu Yiming everything that happened today.

She was speaking and cursing happily, and Gu Yiming suddenly said, "Sorry, I have to interrupt."

"What are the three characters for the He Youwei you mentioned?"

Lin Jiaqiao said: "Xia Yuhe's He, fantasy's You, microscopic matter plus a grass radical."

Gu Yiming:

Qin Guan: …

Qin Guan wrote the three words "He Youwei" on the flour. Gu Yiming sighed and advised him: "It's enough as long as the child is healthy."

He straightened his expression and said in a deep voice: "If I'm not mistaken, the handsome psychologist Miss He mentioned is me."

Lin Jiaqiao was surprised: "He Youwei is actually your girlfriend!"

Qin Guan was also surprised: "You actually have a girlfriend!"

Lin Jiaqiao was puzzled: "He Youwei didn't say that her psychologist boyfriend is a handsome guy."

Qin Guan was also puzzled: "You are not a psychologist either."

Gu Yiming pushed his non-existent glasses and said, "Yes, I am just a psychological counselor."

Seeing that he was having his second-year syndrome again, Qin Guan threw the bun skin back onto the chopping board and called out to Lin Jiaqiao: "Let's go, Zhizhi. You can't play with a fool."

Lin Jiaqiao cooperated and followed behind him.

Gu Yiming waved his hand aggrievedly, "Don't go, don't you want to listen to the story of the handsome psychologist and the beautiful anchor?"

The small kitchen was only about 14 or 15 square meters, surrounded by a stove and cabinets. There was a small dining table opposite. The remaining space was not large, and it was crowded with three people.

Lin Jiaqiao and Qin Guan stood beside the dining table, looking down at Gu Yiming.

Gu Yiming sat at the square table, his hands on his knees, sitting upright.

Lin Jiaqiao slammed the table and said, "Comrade Gu Yiming, what's wrong with you? You look honest, but you have a lot of drama inside. Tell me, what's going on between you and He Youwei!"

Qin Guan never missed any opportunity to sow discord, "He just doesn't have us in his heart. I tell you, Gu Yiming, if you dare to hide a word today, I, you better be careful or our Lin Zhizhi will beat you up."

Gu Yiming is worthy of the nickname "Fairy". His smile is well-behaved and shy, which can easily make people soften their hearts.

Qin Guan got angry when he saw his smile, and said righteously: "Stop being cute, this trick is useless."

Gu Yiming was used to Lin Jiaqiao, but never used to Qin Guan. He rolled his eyes at him and said coldly, "That's enough."

The two men immediately sat down and came close to him and asked, "What's going on, what's going on, what's going on!"

Gu Yiming was troubled by their quarrels, so he quickly explained, "About a month ago, 'Wei Guan News' contacted me and wanted to do a report on the anxiety of office workers, so I cooperated with them, and then I met Anchor He."

Lin Jiaqiao asked: "And then what?"

Qin Guan urged, "Why are you dating?"

Gu Yiming answered honestly: "Host He said she would invite me to dinner later, but she seemed to be just being polite, so I didn't take it seriously."

Lin Jiaqiao was worried that he was being cheated by a bad woman, so she asked, "Then what?"

Gu Yiming blinked: "What then?"

Qin Guan said: "Details of the relationship between the handsome psychologist and the beautiful anchor."

Gu Yiming choked, "Then, tell me tonight that anchor He said I was her boyfriend."

"So she really wants to have dinner with me. But I don't like her."

Gu Yiming said distressedly: "Do I need to take the initiative to contact her?"

Qin Guan rolled his eyes and said disdainfully, "Gu Yiming, are you the innocent heroine from an idol drama? He Youwei is just trying to hook you."

Lin Jiaqiao then remembered that although Gu Yiming was two years older than her, he had been solo since birth and would continue to be solo until she died, and he had never brought a girl home.

"I said she didn't look like a good person." Gu Yiming touched his right arm with his left hand. "She touched me like this when we were chatting. It scared me to death."

He patted his chest and said, "Fortunately I dodged quickly."

Qin Guan took the opportunity to mess up his hair and mocked him for being a single man.

Ms. Qiao watched the excitement for a while and said with emotion: "So, if you have the opportunity to fall in love, you should try it more often."

While they were not paying attention, Lin Jiaqiao sighed.

Qin Guan heard it and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Lin Jiaqiao said: "Xiao Xiangzi didn't want to shoot the Victoria's Secret commercial, but I encouraged her to do it. I think I did something wrong and caused her to be scolded so much."

Before Qin Guan could say anything to comfort her, Ms. Qiao had already tapped her forehead:

"What nonsense are you talking about."

"I'm telling you, when I was young, I never touched little girls' thighs or patted their skirts. Those are all dirty things."

"Because hooliganism was a serious crime at that time, and the offender might be shot. Those hooligans knew that their own lives were more important than committing humiliation."

"I told you, when I was a kid, there was no such thing as leggings. Today, to prevent peeping, the girls wear leggings. But tomorrow, those hooligans want to see even the leggings. What do you want the girls to do? Not wear skirts?"

"So, it has nothing to do with what the girls wear or how much they wear, it's all the hooligans' fault."

"Lin Jiaqiao, I was in great pain when I gave birth to you, and it wasn't easy for your father and I to raise you. We spent so much time and effort on you, not to let you be a saint and reflect on yourself when you have nothing to do."

"We gave birth to you so that you can enjoy life."

"You can wear what you want and be whoever you want to be. You are not wrong, and Xiang Xiaoyuan is not wrong either."

"You have to remember that in this world, there are people who like to gossip, there are people who can't control their hands and eyes, and there are people who have no bottom line!"

"But it's their fault, not yours."

Lin Jiaqiao, Qin Guan, and Gu Yiming applauded, "Ms. Qiao is amazing."

Ms. Qiao rolled her eyes. "I'm speechless. When I was young, women held up half the sky. I didn't expect that now that I'm old, I still have to teach my daughter how to think independently. I'm really going backwards as I grow older."

Lin Jiaqiao made a face and said, "I am the one who is in charge and confused."

Qin Guan was worried that she would lose face, so he immediately changed the subject, "Old Gu, when did He Youwei ask you about the 'kidnapping theory'?"

Gu Yiming's head was scratched by Qin Guan until it looked like a chicken coop. He was about to hit him, but was stunned when he heard this: "What kidnapping theory?"

After Lin Jiaqiao finished repeating He Youwei's words, Gu Yiming was a little surprised, "Isn't this from an American TV series?"

Ms. Qiao echoed, “I think I’ve seen that, too.”

Gu Yiming added: "You know, I'm just a psychological counselor. I don't have the ability to do something so profound."

Lin Jiaqiao couldn't imagine it. "He Youwei has no bottom line, but she's not inhumane. These are her good friends. Is she using what she saw on TV to fool them?"

Gu Yiming thought for a moment and said, "There isn't that much crime potential in our country, and our research on criminal psychology is not as good as that in the United States."

"From a theoretical point of view, this method is useful. However, the national conditions in the United States are different from ours. If we want to apply it in practice, it still needs to be translated into Chinese."

Qin Guan concluded: "You can just say you don't recommend using it."

Lin Jiaqiao was anxious, "This is kidnapping, how dare she do this." She took out her phone, "I have to tell Lao Lin."

Ms. Qiao was very calm, "Your father has been dealing with crimes all his life, why does he need you to worry about him?"

She opened the lid of the pot and said, "The buns are ready. When you're done eating, take them to your dad and tell him about it."

Ms. Qiao took dinner to the study, leaving the three of them at the small dining table.

Qin Guan held up his chopsticks and said in a deep voice, "This is the ugliest bun I have ever seen."

Gu Yiming nodded: "Same as your face."

The two were about to fight each other again, and Qin Guan suddenly remembered something.

He said to Lin Jiaqiao, "Didn't I hold Ying Zhiwan in my arms this afternoon? When I mentioned Liu Yang, his reaction was a bit strange."

"How should I put it? Every time you mention Liu Yang, his body seems to tense up."

Lin Jiaqiao asked seriously: "I have a rosy thought, but I don't know whether I should talk about it or not."

Qin Guan was at a loss: "What does this mean?"

He sat between Gu Yiming and Lin Jiaqiao, and Gu Yiming moved a little further away in silence.

Qin Guan was dissatisfied: "What do you mean?"

Gu Yiming protected her chest, "It's okay to hug a man, but you still have the mood to observe whether he is tight or not. You are perverted."
