Chapter 1521: Chapter 1526: Buying a Woman at a Sky-high Price 2
Bai Qianqian reached out to hold Gu Qingxin. Seeing her retaliate against those who were hurting her now, she finally felt reassured.
"Don’t worry, from now on, I won’t let anyone bully me again." Gu Qingxin winked at her.
The two of them left the mall and took the car home.
Tang Qin, thrown out of the mall, felt humiliated and sat there crying. She eventually called Tang Rongling to complain, accusing Gu Qingxin of bullying her.
After listening to a few sentences, Tang Rongling hung up the phone, completely ignoring her.
Gu Qingxin bullying her sister? It must be Tang Qin stirring up trouble again.
Tang Rongling suddenly put down his pen. Gu Qingxin was discharged from the hospital?
After she was shot, Beiming Han had blocked the news very strictly, and he could not inquire about any details of her injuries.
Moreover, today was Gu Qingxin’s birthday...
Could it be...
Tang Rongling immediately opened the drawer; inside was a well-packaged box--a gift he had prepared for Gu Qingxin.
Tang Rongling guessed that Gu Qingxin should have returned home. He immediately took the box and the car key and left his office.
He thought this gift would never be delivered.
In the past, it was always Gu Qingxin who gave him gifts, and he had never given her one...
With every extra thought, Tang Rongling’s regret deepened...
...
Once Gu Qingxin and Bai Qianqian got home, Gu Qingxin showed the bag to her mother. Lin Yin touched her daughter’s head helplessly, "It’s your birthday today, why are you giving me a gift?"
"Mothers suffer on their children’s birthdays. After all, you risked your life to give birth to me all those years ago. You should be the one who gets thanked." Gu Qingxin latched onto her mother’s arm.
"Yeah, Auntie, it’s the thought that counts! I think Qingxin’s idea is great. I should also give my mom a gift on my birthday." Bai Qianqian agreed with a smile.
"Alright then, only this once, don’t give me a gift next year," Lin Yin looked at the bag her daughter gave her, her eyes full of gentleness.
"What’s for lunch?"
"I steamed your favorite shrimp, it’s all dishes you love."
"Thank you, Mom."
"Wow, I can’t wait for such a feast today," Bai Qianqian immediately volunteered to help.
Just as the three of them were eating, there was a knock at the door.
"I’ll get it." Lin Yin stood up and said.
"Mom, let me do it." Gu Qingxin stood up, went to the door, and was surprised to see it was Tang Rongling.
Gu Qingxin immediately got a headache, this guy just wouldn’t stay away.
As she opened the door, her expression indifferent, right as she was about to speak, Tang Rongling hurriedly shoved a box into her arms and said, "Happy Birthday."
After saying this, he left before Gu Qingxin could react.
Gu Qingxin was left speechless, "..."
She took the box in her hand and quickly walked out, calling out, "Hey..."
But Tang Rongling had already left, not even bothering to give her a chance to return the favor.
Lin Yin and Bai Qianqian also came out. Bai Qianqian frowned, and Lin Yin sighed helplessly, saying, "Let’s have lunch."
"..."
Gu Qingxin placed the box on the coffee table, and the three of them returned to the dining table to continue eating.
The three of them were chatting and laughing at the meal; no one mentioned Tang Rongling’s visit.
After the meal, Gu Qingxin and Bai Qianqian kept Lin Yin company for a while longer. Lin Yin said it was time for a nap and sent them away.
When they were leaving, Lin Yin handed a bag to her daughter, saying, "This is your present."
"Mom, you prepared a gift too." Gu Qingxin looked at the bag in her hand, surprised and excited.
