The two of them were at loggerheads, and there seemed to be electricity flowing in the air.

Just then, a crisp voice rang out, interrupting the confrontation between the two.

Qin Zhen was carrying a small cloth bag and greeted them with a smile: "Captain Huo, Professor Gu, are you all here? By the way, Captain Huo, is the young lady in the office?"

"Yes." Huo Yan nodded.

As he spoke, he turned his wheelchair and prepared to walk back.

"Professor Gu, we'll leave first." Qin Zhen waved to Gu Yanying.

Gu Yanying chuckled, turned around and strode away.

Qin Zhen didn't wait for Huo Yan. She trotted to the door of Su Lingyu's office and knocked on the door with bright eyes: "Miss, I'm here!"

Su Lingyu raised her eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"

"It's nothing important." Qin Zhen took out a stack of handkerchiefs from a small cloth bag and said embarrassedly, "Yesterday was your apprenticeship banquet. When you saved me before, I soiled your handkerchief, and I have been embarrassed to return it to you... This is a handkerchief embroidered by my mother and me. It's not very valuable. I'm giving it to... to you."

She was a little nervous.

The life-saving favor is heavier than a mountain. In fact, she has always kept it in her heart, but she is unable to repay it, so this is all she can give.

Many people gave Su Lingyu gifts last night. Actually, she also wanted to give one, but the gift was so small that she couldn't afford it, so she put it off until today.

"Did you and your mother embroider this?" Su Lingyu looked at the stack of handkerchiefs Qin Zhen took out in surprise.

The handkerchief is made of ordinary white cotton cloth, with only a bunch of light yellow and tender green forsythia, or a few peach buds and a few green bamboos embroidered on one corner, but it has a fresh and elegant charm.

Su Lingyu smiled and said, "I like it very much."

"Really?" Qin Zhen was very happy, "Then I will do it for you often in the future!"

Su Lingyu was not polite either: "The handkerchief needs to be changed once a month. I will ask you to do it for me in the future. Just tell me how much you charge for each one."

Qin Zhen waved her hands quickly: "No, no, how can I ask for your payment! Making a handkerchief doesn't take much fabric or time. Don't talk about my mom, I can embroider one in half an hour."

"Just because you're great isn't a reason for me not to spend money." Su Lingyu shook her head, "If you say that, I'll find someone else to do it."

Qin Zhen immediately became anxious: "No, no, no, let me do it."

At worst, the handkerchief is made and she won’t charge for it.

The system suddenly popped up: [Host, something terrible is happening! I just found a piece of gossip from Qin Zhen. I'm afraid she and her mother are going to be in big trouble tonight!]

Su Lingyu was startled; [What do you mean? ]

The system said: [Do you still remember Wang Degui? He is Qin Zhen's scumbag father. Didn't he go to the family where Qin Zhen's mother worked as a nanny and make trouble, so angry that the family fired Qin Zhen's mother? ]

[After that, the mother and daughter had no place to live. It was hard to rent a house these days, and they didn’t have much savings and were reluctant to spend money, so they just lived in a family’s woodshed.]

[The male owner of that family looks honest, but he is actually a pervert. He has been eyeing them for a long time... Two days ago, he bought some sleeping pills and ropes outside and hid them in a large jar next to the rice jar in the kitchen. I am afraid he will attack them in the next few days.]

[Qin Zhen had committed suicide before. If she experienced such a terrible thing as losing her virginity again, she would probably commit suicide again.]

Su Lingyu: [I understand.]

She frowned and looked at Qin Zhen in front of her. Seeing that her face was pale and she looked nervous, as if she was afraid that Qin Zhen would find someone else to make a handkerchief instead of her, she felt a little soft-hearted.

She asked directly: "I see that you often defend me, but rarely talk to me. Is it because of low self-esteem?"

Qin Zhen nodded blankly.

Su Lingyu crossed her arms and looked at her. "I heard that you and your mother live in someone else's woodshed? The clothes you wear have been worn for several years, patched up. You don't have any money, right?"

Qin Zhen nodded again.

Su Lingyu said, "Since you have no money, don't pretend to be rich. If I ask you to make a handkerchief without paying, others will think I am exploiting you and taking advantage of you, a poor little man."

She took out her handbag from the drawer, counted out thirty yuan from it, and handed it to Qin Zhen: "Here, this is the deposit for making handkerchiefs, two yuan for each handkerchief. Send me five handkerchiefs every month in the future, for the first three months. Take this money and move out of the woodshed today, or don't talk to me anymore."

"...Miss." Qin Zhen finally reacted, tears rolling down her cheeks. She raised her hand and wiped them away with the back of her hand. She shook her head and said, "I don't want your money. I...we still have some savings. I'm leaving first. I'll move out with my mom today!"

She turned around and ran out!

The situation was urgent, she had to take her mother away quickly!

Su Lingyu was shocked by her quick movements: […Xiao Tongzi, was what I just said a bit too much? Qin Zhen looked very sad.]

The system affirmed: [Yes, that doesn't sound like a good thing. The host's performance is as stable as ever!]

Su Lingyu: […Thank you so much for your affirmation! Please keep an eye on Qin Zhen’s situation for me and tell me if there are any changes. If she hasn’t moved to a new house, please tell me too.]

The system immediately agreed: [OK, host! ]

Qin Zhen left, and Huo Yan, who was waiting in the corridor, came into the office. There was a hint of warmth in his eyes when he looked at Su Lingyu.

Su Lingyu continued to work, disinfecting the needles while saying to him, "Sit on the bed and take off your pants, I'll come over."

"Okay." Huo Yan responded.

After so many days of treatment, he was already familiar with the procedure and quickly sat down on the bed.

When Su Lingyu came over with the golden needle, he was silent for a moment and talked about what happened before: "Gu Yanying was outside just now, why did you suddenly lift the curtain and come out?"

Su Lingyu glanced at him and asked, "Why can't you come out?"

"Aren't you afraid that he will misunderstand?"

Su Lingyu was not worried: "It's just a misunderstanding. I don't care what he thinks of me."

When Qin Zhen came, she didn't want to scare Qin Zhen as their "cousin", but Gu Yanying... forget it, if he didn't have a strong heart, he couldn't become the villain in the novel.

After inserting the golden needle, Su Lingyu was about to get up when Huo Yan called her again.

"You are going to Qingshan Temple for a free clinic tomorrow, so it is not convenient for me to go with you. Huo Xiang is not in good physical condition, so can I ask He Ying to accompany you?"

An image of a cute girl with a bright smile and heroic looks emerged in Su Lingyu's mind: "He Ying, is she the girl who went on a blind date with Huo Lang before?"

"Yes." Huo Yan said, "Having one more person to accompany you can also take better care of you."

Su Lingyu nodded: "Okay."

At this moment, the system suddenly popped up and asked in a nagging voice: [Host, why do I feel that Huo Yan is scheming? ]

Su Lingyu: [Hmm? What's the hidden agenda?]

[He called He Ying along, not just to have someone to take care of you, but he had other plans! Think about it, a car with a driver can only seat five people, if one more person takes up space, some people who shouldn't go won't be able to go, right?]

Su Lingyu: [This...]

The system made the final decision: [Huo Yan is on guard against Gu Yanying! ]

[Hahahaha, I just want to see how Gu Yanying will respond tomorrow. If he suddenly finds out that there is no seat for him in the car, he will definitely be furious! ]

Huo Yan: “…”

He put his fist to his lips and coughed lightly. He looked calm, picked up a book at hand and started reading, but a hint of embarrassment still revealed in his eyes, which were always calm.
