Chapter 942: Chapter 939: Reunion

Sigh...

Le Zhengsheng frowned, so, where is she now?

Holy City is so big, looking for someone isn’t that easy.

Da, da, da... the sound of slippers approached.

"Bro."

Le Zhengsheng looked up and saw Xiao Zheng.

Xiao Zheng was holding a paper bag, smiling, "Bro, tea."

Le Zhengsheng took it with a smile, opened it, and saw that it was Golden Tangerine Tea made by Sister Gu herself. Not something valuable, but what matters is the intention.

In the past, Le Zhengsheng didn’t smoke. How did he develop this habit?

It seems like being alone for too long, without knowing what to do, so... Le Zhengsheng started smoking.

Since Sister Gu discovered this habit, she started making this Golden Tangerine Tea, which was good for his throat and lungs.

"Thank you, Xiao Zheng." Le Zhengsheng accepted the bag and put it aside, "Be careful on your way back."

"Mm." Xiao Zheng nodded. He had improved a lot this year and had no problem with simple communication, going home, or attending school.

As Le Zhengsheng was about to leave, Xiao Zheng suddenly spoke, "Bro, sister..."

Sister? Le Zhengsheng was startled, astonished, "What did you say?"

Xiao Zheng raised his hands, putting both thumbs together, smiling, "Bro, sister, good."

Le Zhengsheng’s heart suddenly raced; Xiao Zheng hadn’t mentioned his sister for a long time, "Xiao Zheng, tell me... did you see sister?"

"..." Xiao Zheng’s smile faded, looking very sad, "Sister came, mom... chased away! Sister, cried."

Le Zhengsheng’s heart ached, indeed... Ningning had returned! She came looking for mother!

Then what about him? Le Zhengsheng immediately thought of himself...

Yes, they were already divorced, and it was normal for Ningning not to look for him. But what about Jiujiu? That was her daughter! Could it be, she didn’t want to?

No matter what, Le Zhengsheng considered this trip fruitful.

On his way back, Le Zhengsheng kept thinking about Gu Xiaoning... she had returned.

It wasn’t until he confirmed that Gu Xiaoning came looking for Sister Gu and Xiao Zheng that Le Zhengsheng dared to believe that the Gu Xiaoning who abandoned him... had truly returned!

...

Perhaps the heavens heard Gu Xiaoning’s prayers, and it hadn’t rained for several days.

She still needed to find a job.

Early that day, Gu Xiaoning went to a factory for an interview.

Her university major was too limited, and she hadn’t registered her nursing license for many years, so she could only do some manual labor.

This time, she applied to a toy-making factory.

Due to her family’s circumstances before, Gu Xiaoning, together with Sister Gu, had become quite skilled at using the sewing machine.

However, plush toy sewing was different.

The interviewer looked at Gu Xiaoning, "Can you bear hardships? When we’re busy here, there’s often overtime."

Gu Xiaoning nodded repeatedly, "I can handle it."

"Tsk." The person continued, "You’re a novice, and you’ll need someone to guide you... so, your salary won’t be high."

Gu Xiaoning didn’t mind at all. As long as there was a job, it was fine.

"It’s okay, I understand... that’s reasonable."

"Follow me."

Finally, that person let Gu Xiaoning try some handiwork, which turned out not bad, and they decided on the spot, "Can you start work today? We just received a batch order for souvenirs."

"Yes!" Gu Xiaoning nodded repeatedly, thanking with a smile, "Thank you, thank you!"

"Mm, work hard!"

The job was finally settled, and although the treatment was really poor, she could at least make ends meet.

She didn’t expect to be so busy on her first day that she worked until very late.

When she left the factory, it was almost eight o’clock.

Gu Xiaoning took out her phone to check the time, and suddenly it rang... it was a call from a hidden number.

"Hmm?" Gu Xiaoning was puzzled, who could it be? It only rang once before it hung up; it must’ve been a mistake, right?

On the other side, Le Zhengsheng threw his phone down in frustration.

He had gotten Gu Xiaoning’s number from the mall counter this afternoon, hesitated for a long time, and just dialed it...

But why did he call her? Isn’t it supposed to be her begging him?

The factory samples were ready, but Gu Xiaoning wasn’t concerned about these.

However, the factory director sent someone to find her.

The person in charge knocked on her table, "You, come over for a bit."

"...Oh." Gu Xiaoning was nervous, not knowing what she had done wrong.

Following the person in charge out, she saw him discussing with the factory director, "Let’s have her do it... in the whole factory, only she looks decent enough."

"Okay... make sure nothing goes wrong, this event is related to Guan Chao."

"Got it."

Standing there, the person in charge walked over to her, and she stood there straight, "Manager Yang."

Manager Yang nodded, "Do you have any nice clothes? I’ll give you leave now, come with me to run some errands this afternoon."

"Huh?" Gu Xiaoning was surprised, then nodded, "Okay."

Back at her rented apartment, Gu Xiaoning started rummaging through things.

Nice clothes? She naturally had some. But they were styles from two years ago... When she was with Le Zhengsheng, he wished to give her all the best things.

Gu Xiaoning pulled out the suitcase, and the clothes inside... she hadn’t worn them for a long time.

Now, what she was wearing were cheap clothes bought at stalls, costing only a few tens of bucks a set.

After changing clothes, Gu Xiaoning combed her hair again.

On her vanity, there were only basic skincare products... no cosmetics. It shouldn’t matter not wearing makeup, right?

She had gotten used to it after these two years. Since getting pregnant, she hadn’t worn makeup. Now? She couldn’t even afford cosmetics.

But the advantage was being young, at 22, many girls at that age were still innocent, like children.

Gu Xiaoning looked at herself in the mirror, pulled a smile, still young-looking, who would think she was already a mother?

...

Gu Xiaoning didn’t expect that Manager Yang would take her to a subsidiary of Guan Chao.

They were there to deliver samples, and Manager Yang specifically brought Gu Xiaoning along because of her good looks, to show respect for the project.

To be blunt, Gu Xiaoning was there purely as a decorative vase.

This time they brought a total of 100 samples, intended for a small batch trial... after gathering feedback, they would decide whether to proceed with mass production.

"Where are the samples?" the receptionist asked, "Bring one over to take a look."

Manager Yang hurriedly nodded, "It’s in the car, Xiao Gu, go get it."

Gu Xiaoning stood up quickly, "Alright."

She hurried out...

Just then, Le Zhengsheng got out of the car.

As a Cabinet Minister, he was there for work needs. Of course, trivial matters like toy souvenirs didn’t require his attention.

Walking through the courtyard, he casually asked his subordinate, "What’s this?"

"Oh..." The subordinate explained, "These are event souvenirs."

"Mm."

Le Zhengsheng didn’t pay it much mind, slightly nodded, and was about to leave. But when he glanced up, he saw a familiar figure... running out!

In that moment, Le Zhengsheng was completely stunned!

The blood in his entire body was boiling, every cell was clamoring!

Isn’t that, Gu Xiaoning?

Yes, it’s the Gu Xiaoning he dreamed of day and night, the one he hadn’t stopped thinking about for two years!

Gu Xiaoning had her hair in a ponytail, wearing a goose-yellow blouse and a dark gray striped A-line skirt, her waist so slim, thinner, yet more beautiful than before. Her face was fresh and delicate, like a lotus out of the water.

Le Zhengsheng stared at her intently... afraid he might be mistaken!
