Chapter 522 Return to Shangqing
Chapter 522 Return to Shangqing
"I'm going back to Shangqing." Ji Qinglin's tone was calm, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry. "Grandma and Li Shen are at home. If I leave for too long, I'm afraid they will be in danger."
Gu Beisheng frowned and said in a deep voice, "Qinglin, you're mistaken, right? You're the one in danger now! If you go back alone like this, what if you run into Shi Xin?"
"Tell me your location and I'll have my bodyguard pick you up."
"Beisheng, I know you're worried about me. However, I'm also an adult and I know my limits." In order to prevent Gu Beisheng from worrying, Ji Qinglin glanced at Old Man Gu and said, "Actually, when I left, he had already arranged for two bodyguards to follow me."
"Sure?"
Gu Beisheng raised his eyebrows. Why hadn’t he heard the old man mention it?
"If you don't believe it, you can call the old man and ask him for confirmation." Ji Qinglin was not worried about Gu Beisheng asking for confirmation. After all, the old man Gu was right next to her, and the two of them could easily collude.
Having said that, Gu Beisheng didn't say much. "Okay, when you get there, send me a message."
"it is good!"
Ji Qinglin hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was fooled.
If Gu Beisheng went to great lengths to find her, it would inevitably cause unrest in Jiangbei. According to the old man, when she was kidnapped last time, Gu Beisheng also alerted many important figures in Jiangbei, causing a lot of trouble.
In the end, it was Mr. Gu who stepped forward and appeased these bigwigs.
"Have you finished chatting?"
Seeing Ji Qinglin coming back, Mr. Gu asked.
Ji Qinglin nodded. "We're done. But, as I said earlier, it was because you, old man, arranged two bodyguards for me that he stopped pestering me. So, if Bei Sheng asks you for confirmation, just tell him about this."
"Oh, this kid really cares about you." Old Master Gu sighed, and when he saw that Ji Qinglin's expression was not right, he coughed lightly. "Let's hurry on."
"At our current pace, it will probably take until around six in the morning to get back to Shangqing."
"clear."
At this time, Bai Qiong was sitting in the hall, feeling upset.
The secret she had hidden for so long was finally revealed to Xiao Ji.
She didn't know whether telling the truth would be good or bad for Ji Qinglin, but there was no way to escape it now.
At around six o'clock, Ji Qinglin, Mr. Gu, and Luo Luo returned to Bai Qiong's house.
Bai Qiong saw Ji Qinglin and Luo Luo beside her, and her heart trembled slightly, then she forced a smile. "Xiao Ji, and... Luo Luo, you're back."
"Grandma." Luo Luo rushed over and threw himself into Bai Qiong's arms. "I saw my mother! Luo Luo is so happy! But..."
At this point, he turned around and glanced at Ji Qinglin, his expression somewhat dejected. "Mom doesn't seem too happy to see Luo Luo."
Ji Qinglin could clearly see the loneliness and helplessness in the child's eyes, and her heart tightened slightly. It wasn't that she was unhappy to see Luo Luo, but the current situation was too chaotic and she couldn't make sense of it.
"Lolo, your mother has been away for so long, and seeing you suddenly must be a little uncomfortable." Bai Qiong touched Luo Luo's head and comforted her, "Let's give it some time, Mom, okay?"
"Yeah." Lolo nodded, and the loneliness in his eyes quickly disappeared.
For him, his mother's return is the best outcome, and their relationship will get better and better in the future.
