444 The Secret About the Past 62 (1/2)
Seeing her go farther away, Jin Qingyue went into the house and asked the maid, ”Where is my mother going?”
”Madam has gone to take part in an elderly activity.” The maid continued, ”She went last time and brought back a bunch of medicine.”
”What medicine? Let me take a look.”
The maid hurriedly took them out for her. Upon seeing the medicine, Jin Qingyue realized those were the healthcare products her mother had bought. ”How much are these?”
”Madam didn't say.”
Jin Qingyue called her mother, but her call was not picked up. She then instructed the maid, ”When my mother returns, please give me a call.”
”Alright, Missy.”
Jin Qingyue was slightly worried as she knew that many healthcare products in the market were not reliable. They were not effective, but not to the extent that they would cost one's life. It was simply a waste of money.
She then drove back to Wei Ni Estate. She had been staying at Jin Qingyan's place for some time and had not returned to her own house in the meantime.
Upon arriving, she spotted and immediately recognized Ling Ciye's car in the courtyard.
Jin Qingyue got down from the car and entered the house, carrying her bag.
While she didn't see her brother, she saw Ling Ciye alone lying on the sofa with his eyes closed.
”Brother Ciye.”
”Ah… Qingyue.” He turned over and asked as he laid on one side, ”Where have you been?”
”I went to my mother's. Where's my brother?”
”He's not up yet. Still sleeping in.”
”Oh, I see.” Jin Qingyue sat opposite him and played with her phone. She asked while staring at her phone screen, ”I heard you're getting married?”
”Maybe.” His answer was vague. ”There's a chance.”
”Congratulations.”
Ling Ciye thanked her, then added, ”It's time for you to find one as well.”
”Would it be that easy to find one? Moreover, for a woman like me whose reputation is tarnished, it's too difficult.” Jin Qingyue laughed. ”This is what I think: if I can't find one soon, I'll have to choose one from my brother's underlings.”
”How about Shixin?”
”We're too familiar with each other already.” Jin Qingyue went on, ”I'll just let nature take its course. Anyway, I'm still young and not in a hurry.”
”Umm, that's true.” Ling Ciye placed his arms under his head and started staring at the ceiling.
The two stopped talking, and there was silence in the living room.
A sudden chime of a ringtone broke the silence, causing Jin Qingyue to raise her head in surprise. It was Ling Ciye's phone.
He glanced at the caller ID and took the call.
”Hello.”
”…”
”Didn't you say you would be back in a few days?” Ling Ciye questioned. ”Why would it take so long?”
”…”
”Alright, I know. Be careful over there and don't do activities that are too strenuous.”
”…”
”Hmm? Just speak.”
”…”
