Chapter 1057: I Came By Taxi Myself, No One Forced Me
"Guessed it." Gu Lingqian nodded, "You mean Uncle suspects Yu Wanqing might drug him tonight, so... he needs your help?""Yes." Xia Yinian nodded.
"Uncle said that even Chi He might not be able to escape tonight, so he asked for my help."
"But if even he can’t do anything, how could I possibly have a way? Yu Wanqing has so many people and is favored by both the Old Master and Grandma."
Xia Yinian pursed her lips, sighed lightly, and continued, "I told Uncle the same thing back then, but he said if there was really no way, I should find you."
Gu Lingqian frowned slightly, looking into the distance.
He didn’t doubt Nian Nian’s words at all, but she was right; if even Uncle couldn’t handle it, then she definitely wouldn’t be able to either.
Does it mean Uncle is asking for his help through Nian Nian?
Uncle has many capable people under him, Chi He is just one of them.
Maybe Uncle has a way but is worried about explaining to Grandma, or perhaps he has other plans.
Having followed Gu Beicheng for many years, Gu Lingqian and he no longer needed much verbal communication to understand each other.
"Don’t worry, I’ll figure something out."
Gu Lingqian reached out and rubbed Xia Yinian’s head affectionately.
"Do you want to go with me or stay here? Rest assured, I’ll have someone watching over you, you’ll be safe."
Xia Yinian followed Gu Lingqian’s gaze and saw a man and a woman watching her not far away.
"They are my people," Gu Lingqian said softly.
Xia Yinian pursed her lips, and as she withdrew her gaze, she unexpectedly caught sight of two figures.
Looking closely, a smile finally appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"You go ahead, Shushu and the others are here."
Since Brother Ling Qian reassured her, she stopped worrying.
Gu Lingqian glanced at Ye Shushu and Yuan Yaying and stood up.
"If anything happens, come and call me." Gu Lingqian frowned, giving her hand a gentle tug, "The moment you call, I’ll be right over."
There are too many people tonight, he had to be vigilant.
As long as he is present, he absolutely won’t let the little girl get hurt again.
"Got it." Xia Yinian nodded, her gaze no longer on Gu Lingqian.
She watched those two eager figures and waved her hand.
Gu Lingqian smiled, delicately placing her hand back on the table before turning to leave.
Seeing Young Master Ling leave, Ye Shushu and Yuan Yaying walked over briskly.
"What brings you guys here?" Seeing them, Xia Yinian was equally excited.
At least during the wait, she wouldn’t feel so bored.
"I didn’t want to come, Senior Feimo insisted on dragging me here." Ye Shushu sat down, her lips pouting high.
"Sigh, even at night, the sun is still so blazing!" Yuan Yaying stretched out her hand, making a gesture as if wiping sweat.
"What about you?" Xia Yinian looked at one of the women, smiling happily.
"Chi He gave me the invitation, I took a taxi here myself, no one forced me, and after arriving, I even walked a long distance on foot."
Yuan Yaying glanced at the two in front of her, then turned back and waved her hand.
Xia Yinian knew what she was complaining about. Taking a taxi here, cars couldn’t drive onto Gu Family’s main road, so she really had to walk a long way.
Servants holding drinks and beverages received instructions and immediately came over.
"What would you like to drink?" Yuan Yaying asked lightly.
"Water."
"I’ll have orange juice."
