Mrs Zhao did not respond to Gu Linxi's words. She only looked at him with eyes full of a slight viciousness. This action of hers was undoubtedly an indication of her position. If Gu Linxi was truly unwilling to help, Mrs Zhao would go find trouble with Gu Qi Zong. As for how far they would go, that would depend on what Mrs Zhao wanted.
Gu Linxi understood what Mrs Zhao meant. In this matter, Mrs Zhao actually didn't give him any choice. She didn't care about the relationship between her and Gu Qi Zong, because that didn't even exist. However, she didn't want to implicate Gu Zong because of her.
In the room, only the breathing of two people could be heard. Madame Zhao was clearly a bit nervous. Although Gu Qi Zong could be used to threaten Gu Linxi, Madame Zhao didn't have much confidence. Firstly, she didn't understand what kind of position the Gu Qi sect had in her heart. She didn't know if her bargaining chip was feasible. Secondly, she was also worried that Gu Linxi was playing a trick.
In Madame Zhao's heart, since Gu Linxi dared to interact with ghosts, she definitely wouldn't be a coward. If the truth was revealed that she had angered Gu Linxi, it might only make the matter even more troublesome. However, she had no other choice. If she could, Mrs. Zhao would not use this method, but since she had already kneeled, what else could she do?
He might as well give it his all and bet on Gu Lingxi's determination.
Gu Linxi's hand caressed her stomach. She was seriously considering and analyzing this matter. The child in his stomach seemed to have felt Gu Linxi's worries, and it gave a small kick to Gu Linxi's hand as a response. Gu Linxi couldn't help but reveal a smile on her face. This child was probably about to give birth. He didn't know when it would be born either. He really wanted to see it for himself.
Mrs Zhao's brows twitched. She seemed to have seen something move in Gu Linxi's stomach. She thought about how Gu Linxi's boyfriend was a ghost. If Gu Linxi had a child in her womb, it would definitely be that ghost's. A creepy feeling rose from her coccyx, making Mrs. Zhao feel even colder.
Jin'er. This name twirled on Gu Linxi's tongue, and a gentle look appeared in her eyes. While she was thinking about something, she used her hand to comfort the child in her stomach once again.
”Mrs. Zhao, I still don't think I can help you. This matter is already beyond my capabilities.” Gu Linxi had already made a decision. There was no need for her to complicate things further. Since she was related to Jiang Jiayi, she could only be in charge of informing Jiang Jiayi about this. As for what Jiang Jiayi wanted to do, that was Jiang Jiayi's choice.
Even though Gu Linxi had rejected her, Mrs Zhao could feel that Gu Linxi's attitude had become slightly more relaxed. Knowing that she might not be able to be overly hasty with this matter, she thought for a moment before standing up. However, her gaze couldn't help but turn towards Gu Lin Xi's stomach as a chill ran through her heart.
”Little Gu, I'll come look for you tomorrow. I hope you can think about it carefully. Haoyu, I really need your help. ”
