Chapter 691
After autumn, the day dawns later and later.
It was still dark when Chen Dong woke up early.
He kept his habits under strict control and did not dare to slacken off in the slightest.
Because of his disguised disability, it was also impossible to go out for devil training.
He could only train his upper limb strength at home in his wheelchair.
The water in this pool today is getting muddier and muddier.
This makes him feel a strong sense of oppression. An extra point of effort will also give him a better chance of winning when he meets a crisis in the future.
Victory is not something that can be achieved overnight.
It is always accumulated through little by little.
By the time Gu Qingying woke up, Chen Dong’s training had also finished.
His naked upper body, skin taut, muscles grave, every inch of muscle is evenly defined, although not like Mr. Bodybuilding’s exploding muscles, but this kind of real muscles through the system training, every inch is extremely explosive sense.
“Honey, you got up early in the morning to work out again?” Gu Qingying walked behind Chen Dong with sleepy eyes and hugged his neck from behind.
“You can’t slack off at all.”
Chen Dong smiled faintly and slowly moved his arms, looking down at his body and murmured, “This body of mine, the speed of growth is indeed too terrifying.”
The murmuring sound was soft.
Yet it was dense with doubt.
He had been disguising his disability since the end of the incident across the ocean, and when he came back, one thing after another, his training did technically slacken for a while.
This, combined with only being able to train for upper body strength, had left him in a physical state that had slipped a notch, to be precise.
These few short days of training, however, were the part that had fallen short of the decline and was vaguely on the verge of a breakthrough.
“Is it bad?”
Gu Qingying asked suspiciously.
Chen Dong shook his head, “Good is good, but this intensity, even I doubt life.”
As the Chen family’s chief instructor, Kunlun’s systematic devil training was not just for him alone, but also taught the entire younger generation of the Chen family.
If it was because Kunlun’s devil training programme was special, it was also the entire younger generation of the Chen Family that benefited.
On the contrary, Chen Dong was certain that even the younger generation of the Chen Family, who had never slacked off as children, were definitely inferior to him in terms of physical fitness and fighting skills.
In that case, one could only blame everything on the body’s own talent.
What’s more, when he was stabbed while across the ocean and the toxicity flowed through his entire bloodstream, the fact that he had managed to recover intact was in itself an extremely unbelievable thing.
There are strong and weak poisons.
But the poison that kills is capable of causing death.
Qin Ye, who also had the same toxicity flowing throughout his body, was the one who needed countless people to donate blood and countless great doctors to come down personally to pull him back from the ghost gate, and even so, he still ended up in a vegetative state.
And at that time, Chen Dong himself, with Hong Hui requesting the help of the great doctors, the battle was far less than when he saved Qin Ye’s life.
The results for the two were vastly different!
There was a long silence.
Chen Dong did not wait for Gu Qingying’s words.
He could not help but glance back, only to find Gu Qingying wrapped around his neck, dazed and lost in thought, her eyebrows knitted together.
“What’s wrong?” Chen Dong asked in a soft voice.
“It’s jumping again.”
Gu Qingying pointed to her right eyelid in annoyance, “What the hell is going on here.”
Chen Dong frowned slightly and gently stroked Gu Qingying’s head, soothingly saying, “Don’t think too much, maybe you’re just too anxious, magnifying this little thing and then putting too much pressure on yourself, relax a little and you’ll be fine.”
“Hmm.”
Gu Qingying nodded, but her frown still didn’t stretch out.
Looking at Gu Qingying who had gone to wash up, Chen Dong was a little helpless.
Could it be that Xiao Ying had become so anxious and distressed because her due date was getting closer and closer?
A thought surfaced in Chen Dong’s mind.
The events that he had experienced in the past few days had been one wave after another, with people in the family having accidents one after another, and the pressure on those who were unharmed was enormous.
The immense pressure, coupled with the pregnancy, most likely caused Gu Qingying to be in the state she was in now.
“Work overtime today, finish all the arrangements for tomorrow, don’t go to the company tomorrow, stay at home with Xiaoying for a day, let her relax.”
Chen Dong made up his mind, and then went into the bathroom to wash up with Gu Qingying.
After having breakfast together, Long Lao and Chen Dong rushed to Dingtai Company.
Fan Lu, on the other hand, stayed at home with Gu Qingying.
According to the previous time allocation, Fan Lu should have gone to the hospital with Zhang Yulan after breakfast to deliver breakfast to Lin Lingdong and Lone Wolf.
However, at Chen Dong’s request, Fan Lu stayed at home to accompany the anxious Gu Qingying.
Zhang Yulan is now in a much better state and is able to go to the hospital alone to wait for Qin Ye.
In the garden.
Gu Qingying was sitting on a swing, swaying gently, basking in the sunlight, her gaze on her high belly, but her brows were locked in worry.
Somehow, from the moment her right eyelid jumped, she always felt that something was going to happen.
The constant throbbing of her right eyelid was a constant amplification of the worry in Gu Qingying’s heart.
Fan Lu, who had finished watering the flowers, walked over to Gu Qingying and sat on the swing with her.
Seeing Gu Qingying’s sad frown, Fan Lu asked, “Still worried about the jumping of your right eyelid?”
“Mm.”
Gu Qingying nodded, but as if she knew what Fan Lu was going to say, she busily added, “It’s not just the right eyelid jumping, but my entire being has been distracted for the past two days, it’s just, it’s that premonition that something is always going to happen.”
“A woman’s sixth sense.”
Fan Lu calmly spat out the words.
“Yes, that’s it.” Gu Qingying nodded, “I don’t know why I have this feeling, but it’s been getting stronger and stronger these past two days.”
Fan Lu looked at Gu Qingying profoundly, the smile on her face disappearing.
She was a killer, or a top killer on the Hidden Kill Organisation’s Death Ranking.
A killer’s intuition was extremely sensitive.
What’s more, she was also a woman, so she could also empathise with Gu Qingying’s state at this moment.
She took a deep breath.
Fan Lu gave Gu Qingying a hug and said soothingly, “Alright, with Sister Xiao Lu around, even if the sky falls, I will still protect you, alright?”
“Sister Xiao Lu ……”
Gu Qingying’s delicate body trembled a little: “Thank you.”
The same words had been said to everyone in her family, and she had even mentioned it to Chen Dong more than once.
But the answers she received were all in appeas*ment, and now that she had received a word of approval from Fan Lu, she could not help but make Gu Qingying’s heart warm.
It was not that she blamed Chen Dong, after all, this feeling was a bit absurd even for Gu Qingying herself.
But when one is in a state of fear, a word of approval is like the warmth of the winter sun, far better than ten words of rea*surance.
The whole day.
Gu Qingying and Fan Lu were inseparable.
Long Lao, who had returned home, also stayed comfortably at home, drinking tea and reading a book.
Everything seemed peaceful and quiet.
The sun was waning in the west.
Night was falling.
Gu Qingying looked at the time and saw that it was already seven o’clock in the evening.
She asked Elder Long in confusion, “Elder Long, is Chen Dong working late tonight?”
“Well, the young master should have forgotten to tell the young lady.”
Elder Long put down the book in his hand, “He’s working overtime tonight to do all of tomorrow’s work schedule, and will be at home with Young Madam tomorrow.”
“Really?” Gu Qingying was instantly delighted.
And at that moment, Fan Lu just happened to sweep past Elder Long, her gaze dipped to the books Elder Long was reading, and she instantly blushed.
“Elder Long, are you used to reading books with a small human book inside? Old and unashamed!”
“Cough cough ……”
Long Lao coughed twice and made a blush.
And at that moment.
The property owner’s side called.
When Long Lao picked up, he frowned in confusion.
“Shoo away!” Long Lao replied dryly before hanging up the phone, and anger surfaced on his originally warm face.
The sudden scene caused Gu Qingying and Fan Lu to freeze at the same time.
“Elder Long, what’s wrong?” Gu Qingying enquired.
Elder Long waved his hand in annoyance and did not speak.
But the anger in his eyes had not diminished in the slightest.
How did that ungrateful b*tch, who dared to dig up her wife’s grave and raise her ashes, have the face to come here to ask for an audience?
If the young master doesn’t kill her, do you really think that I can’t move my sword?
Chapter 692
Although Elder Long was not a murderous man.
But as a former Hong Society elder, he later joined the Chen family and became Chen Daolin’s household slave.
Would there be less blood on his hands ……?
He has always kept his former days in the Hong Society a secret, not even willing to mention Chen Dong.
That’s because when he gets older, his heart is calm and he is not willing to bring up the heady days of yesteryear again.
Otherwise, he was clearly a generation shorter than Ye Yuanqiu, so why would he still make Ye Yuanqiu scornful, and why did he manage to force Ye Yuanqiu and Ye Linglong, to leave the city early in the first place?
The Wang family’s past towards Chen Dong, Long Lao did not bother to pursue.
But the matter of Wang Nan Nan’s mother digging up Li Lan’s grave and forcing Chen Dong to do so was always on Long Lao’s mind.
In Elder Long’s view, the heinous crime of humiliating the deceased, the death of one Wang Nan Nan’s mother was simply not enough!
It was only because Chen Dong had not pursued the matter after Wang Nan Nan’s mother’s death that he had never brought up his attitude towards Wang Nan Nan.
If the young master did not mention it, how could those who were slaves dare to mention it?
According to Elder Long’s guess, it should actually be that Chen Dong had also remembered a point of old affection.
But Wang Nan Nan had survived.
It does not mean that her faults can be forgiven.
Instead of hiding far away from this, she now came to the door to ask for an audience instead.
In Elder Long’s view, this was simply not knowing whether to live or die!
Gu Qingying and Fan Lu both clearly sensed the anger radiating from Elder Long’s body.
They looked at each other with some dismay.
Long Lao’s mind had always been that of a man who did not change his expression when a mountain collapsed in front of him, and being as calm as water was the norm.
If it wasn’t a big event, it would be difficult for his emotions to ripple too much.
But now, in front of the two of them, actually can not suppress the anger.
What had happened to ……?
Soon.
Long Lao’s mobile phone rang again.
Seeing the phone number.
The already sulking Long Lao’s brow furrowed even deeper.
As if an angry beast, he pressed the answer button.
“Old man told them to get lost!”
The sulking voice was firm and strong.
It caused Gu Qingying and Fan Lu to smack their lips.
While on the phone, the person from the property said with trepidation.
“Elder Long, they said that they are here to apologise.”
“No need to apologize, if apologies were useful, Yan would have to lose his job!”
Snap!
Elder Long hung up the phone.
Three years of marriage, what apology could one take for what the Wang family had done to the young master?
Madam was seriously ill and hospitalised, Wang Nan Nan took the life-saving money and went to buy a house for Wang Hao to gather the bride price, ignoring Madam’s life, what apology was to be made?
When Li Lan pa*sed away and was buried in the ground, Wang Nan Nan’s mother insulted the deceased and dug up the grave to raise the ashes, what apology should she make?
Does Wang Nan Nan have the qualifications to apologize?
Long Lao looked sullen to the extreme.
From his point of view, it was already the young master’s grace that Wang Nan Nan was alive now, and now he was still coming to apologise, was he coming to offer his own head?
Otherwise, what apology could be offered?
Gu Qingying and Fan Lu’s faces changed greatly.
Long Lao’s reaction was clearly that something big had happened.
But the two of them wanted to say something, but when they looked at Elder Long’s appearance at this moment, they did not know how to speak.
At that moment.
Gu Qingying’s mobile phone rang.
She picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number, but picked it up anyway.
“Sure enough, you’re a person who remembers the old days and has never changed your number.”
On the phone, a familiar voice instantly caused Gu Qingying’s delicate body to tremble and her heart felt as if pins and needles were stabbing her.
It was Wang Nan Nan’s voice!
The memories of former cla*smates came flooding back at this time.
It instantly made Gu Qingying’s heart complicated to the extreme.
Chen Dong, Li Lan, and what the Wang family had done to Chen Dong’s mother and son surfaced in her mind.
All the memories and the complicated thoughts, the body seemed to be a bubble, snapping away to nothing.
Gu Qingying looked indifferent and said, “We shouldn’t be in contact, don’t come and hara*s me.”
Leaving aside what happened within the three years of marriage between Wang Nan Nan and Chen Dong, in fact, Gu Qingying had never hung this matter in her heart either.
But after Chen Dong and Wang Nan Nan’s divorce, what the Wang family and Wang Nan Nan did made Gu Qingying feel sick.
Especially the matter of Li Lan’s grave being dug up.
When Chen Dong was crying like a child in her arms, how could she not have felt like her heart was torn apart and wanted to cry?
Li Lan was Chen Dong’s mother.
And her in-laws too!
Insulting the deceased, was this something that a human being could do?
But just as Gu Qingying was about to hang up the phone.
Over the phone, Wang Nan Nan’s voice suddenly lifted up.
“Xiaoying, I’m here to apologise, I sincerely want to come to you and Chen Dong to apologise, please give me a chance!”
This shrill whistling plea, even though Gu Qingying did not turn on the speakerphone.
Even though Gu Qingying did not turn on the speakerphone, she was still clearly heard by Fan Lu and Elder Long who was not far away.
The old man’s expression was instantly hostile, and his right hand, which had just gripped the teacup, lashed out violently.
With a “pop” sound, the teacup shattered into several pieces and the tea water flowed all over his hand.
Gu Qingying’s movements also gave a start.
Over the phone, Wang Nan Nan continued to plead.
“Xiaoying, I know I’ve been so wrong, I know I’ve sinned terribly, and all this time I’ve disappeared, I’ve been reflecting, I’ve been feeling guilty and blaming myself, even though my mother died, but I know that it was all my mother’s fault, and if I can’t meet with you and Chen Dong and apologise to you, I can hardly have peace of mind in my life.”
“Please see me once, please Xiaoying, for the sake of our four years at university, weren’t we the best of girlfriends before, you never let me be sad, you’ve always been the best to me.”
“I just want to see you once, to say sorry in front of you, please, please Little Shadow ……”
The sound of crying and pleading made one feel the strong sense of guilt through the phone.
Gu Qingying was caught in a hesitant hesitation.
Fan Lu’s eyes flickered as she supported Gu Qingying, but her face was a little cold.
On the other hand, Long Lao said dryly, “Young Madam, this kind of person is no different from an animal, she has hurt us, so why should a word of apology give her inner peace? Old slave, I implore you, young madam, don’t see it!”
The words were resolute and overbearing.
At this moment, even though the word “plead” was still in his words, Long Lao’s aura was already the same as that of an oppressor.
Gu Qingying’s eyes flashed and suddenly became resolute.
She was about to follow Elder Long’s plea and say no.
Suddenly, on the phone, Wang Nan Nan cried out.
“Little Ying, back when we were in college, you said that if you had children in the future, you would definitely recognize me as your godmother, you can not see me, Chen Dong can not see me, and even the children do not have to make me their godmother, but can I not come to see them as a godmother?”
“Just one glance, after this meeting, I will leave this place forever, from now on I will not appear in your and Chen Dong’s life again, and all of that, will be over.”
Gu Qingying’s delicate body trembled.
The two words were like heavy hammers, hitting her heart hard.
For four years at university, she and Wang Nan Nan had always been close and intimate, and back then, when she was ignorant and youthful, she had indeed made such promises.
Promises could be taken lightly, but these words were the ones that touched Gu Qingying’s memory once again.
Her heart softened and she agreed: “Okay, you can come in.”
At those words.
Long Lao was stunned for a moment, then sighed heavily with pain.
Rao Fan Lu also said helplessly after Gu Qingying hung up the phone, “Little Ying, you are too soft-hearted too.”
