Chapter 1360 - 1361: Listen

"Sister Jingmiao is a good girl," Gu Lingling said.

Qian Bao nodded.

He certainly knew Zhao Jingmiao was a good girl; otherwise, he wouldn’t have done so many things to come up with a decent identity to match her.

"I just want to ask you one thing, are you serious about her?" Gu Lingling looked into his eyes and asked.

"Of course," Qian Bao replied without thinking.

The most serious thing Qian Bao had done in his over twenty years was falling in love with Zhao Jingmiao.

"This isn’t the place to talk. There’s a coffee shop across from our office. Go there and wait for me. I’ll take a leave and come out," Gu Lingling said.

Qian Bao said okay.

But his heart started to feel heavy.

Gu Lingling was so cautious and serious, making him feel that Zhao Jingmiao’s situation must be significant.

Could it be that she has a terminal illness? That’s why she’s desperately trying to earn money?

If that’s the case, Qian Bao thought, no matter how much it costs, he must make Zhao Jingmiao well.

With this heavy heart, Qian Bao finally waited for Gu Lingling to arrive.

"Sorry to keep you waiting," Gu Lingling said as she sat down.

On the way here, she had been grappling with herself.

For Zhao Jingmiao, the matter in question was something she would never want to mention in her lifetime, and it was a lifelong disgrace.

If she could, she would want Qian Bao never to know about it.

But in Gu Lingling’s view, the matter wasn’t Zhao Jingmiao’s fault.

If one had to say she was at fault, it would be that she was too kind.

And if she misses out on a good man because of this, it would be a great loss for Zhao Jingmiao.

Gu Lingling didn’t think that a man who was willing to leave Capital City and go to a faraway place just to be with Zhao Jingmiao would despise her after knowing about this matter.

She’s taking a chance.

Banking on Qian Bao’s feelings for Zhao Jingmiao being deeper than they had imagined.

"What I’m about to say," Gu Lingling bit her lip and frowned, "I hope after listening, no matter what thoughts you have, you won’t mention this to anyone."

Qian Bao’s frown deepened.

What does she mean?

Could it be serious?

"Are you sure you still want to listen?" she asked.

"Yes," Qian Bao answered decisively.

"Alright," Gu Lingling nodded, took a deep breath, "Back then, Sister Jingmiao and Lei Xingjun were both working at the transformer factory in Qin City, and they were planning to get married. But later, some issues arose, and Sister Jingmiao didn’t marry Lei Xingjun."

"Is it because of this matter that Miao Miao came to Capital City?" Qian Bao supplemented with a question.

"Yes," Gu Lingling replied.

"Sister Jingmiao was very diligent and ambitious. The factory always trained her as a key employee," Gu Lingling closed her eyes, remembering that time Zhao Jingmiao and Liu Guozhu went on a business trip to Capital City.

If she had known then that Liu Guozhu was a beast in human clothing, she would never have allowed her to stay in Qin City.

However, there is no early knowledge in this world.

And she hadn’t even dreamed of warning Zhao Jingmiao’s tragic experience.

"Later, during a training session, she met another man from their factory named Liu Guozhu."

Qian Bao noticed that when Gu Lingling mentioned this man’s name, her teeth were clenched.

So, he remembered this name.

And he thought to himself that this man might be the reason Lei Xingjun and Zhao Jingmiao didn’t get married, or maybe even why she’s now rejecting him.
