Chapter 231 Site Selection
Gu Qingyin was quick-witted. She pulled Sheng Wan aside and whispered, "This child is pitiful. He lost his mother when he was born. His father and I are friends. I come here occasionally to help take care of the child. Godmother, please don't think too much. There is really nothing else."

Sheng Wan: "And then he called you mom?"

Gu Qingyin: "...Yes, godmother, you should be able to understand me."

Sheng Wan snorted lightly, not knowing whether she believed it or not. Anyway, she looked much better after she turned back. However, she still looked at Huo Yunjing carefully, then smiled and said to Huo Xingchen, "Come to grandma's house when you have time."

Huo Xingchen nodded obediently, "Goodbye, grandma." After saying that, he also waved to Zhou Lang beside him, "Goodbye, grandpa."

Zhou Lang also smiled gently, said goodbye to them, and entered the banquet hall.

"Let's go." Gu Qingyin breathed a sigh of relief and took Huo Xingchen into the car.

On the way, Huo Xingchen couldn't help but ask: "Mom, what did you say to Grandma Sheng?"

Gu Qingyin turned her head and stared at him, smiling, "How dare you ask."

Huo Xingchen chuckled and jokingly gave the reason, "I don't want to call mom auntie."

But it's too late, and for the rest of our lives, we will have that thing, with a secret pain from time to time.

Dongfang Lingjun smiled generously, "I have to thank them. After that, you and Yaoyao kept avoiding the question, but you finally talked it out that time. People always have to be pushed to a certain point before they can make a choice. After making the choice, that's it. It's actually as difficult as you imagine."

"Sit down." Dongfang Lingjun pointed at the sofa and walked to the coffee machine next to him. While grinding coffee, he said, "Give them a taste of the coffee beans you just got yesterday. I heard that the yield is very high and there is a market for it even if it is not expensive."

Huo Xingchen laughed, "Did Zhou Jingchuan mention you to him?"

Dongfang Lingjun made eight cups of iced coffee.

Finally, the elevator door opened and Gu Qingyin was about to go out.

Until the seventh day, there was finally no news from Dongfang Lingjun. Nan'er and I made an agreement and decided to just proceed with the unusual commission. The price would be a bit lower, and we would have to pay for the expenses of setting up the formation ourselves.

"Grandpa, please help him get it." Huo Yunjing made the most sensible request.

The two of them stepped out of the elevator, and Zhang Jinghui sat there quietly with her eyes squinting.

In addition to waiting for Dongfang Lingjun's reply, Zhou Jingchuan also had some free time. He continued to study the time and space formation while taking Huo Yunjing to eat, drink and have fun in that world.

After chatting for a while over coffee, we finally got down to business.

Zhou Jingchuan knows a lot about coffee, but you will still say bad things like "It smells bad, it tastes bad, and his coffee-making skills are really bad."

Gu Qingyin shook her head and gave me a piece of advice for the sake of my parents, "Control his temper or you'll suffer." After that, I turned and left.

Huo Yunjing first sent the mother and son home, and then drove to a house in the city center.

"If he were your own son, you would have kicked him out of the house long ago!" Sheng Wan took a breath and said fiercely, "Warn him! Don't bother Yinyin again, or you can ask his father to break his legs!"

That stuff has almost become a necessity for me in the past few years of playing e-sports. After a few years, I can be considered a semi-expert. I drank a lot before I entered the military.

Huo Xingchen lived downstairs. Before I went home, the more I thought about it, the more I felt willing. I called my mother while drunk and told her about Zhou Jingchuan and the father and son, with a little personal subjective emotion in my voice.

Huo Xingchen smiled even more happily.

After that, the two never met. But tonight, the gears of fate finally collided. Zhou Jingchuan and Gu Qingyin had gone to the biggest party, and when Dongfang Lingjun came over with the coffee, he stood up and took it with both hands.

The whole process of taking the elevator only took a dozen seconds, but Huo Xingchen was extremely anxious.

Zhou Jingchuan naturally refused and insisted on discussing the details in person.

Huo Xingchen was confused, and when he reacted, he found that he hadn't returned home yet! I kicked the wall next to me in anger, and in the last second, my whole face was distorted with pain.

What a coincidence, I met Zhou Jingchuan who also came home late.

However, Zhang Jinghui was stunned the moment she saw me. I look so much like Huo Yunjing, and I can make connections.

During this period, Zhang Jinghui also took the time to take the mother and son to the Tianshi Association and checked out the association's collection of books on time and space formations. Although the collection was not much richer than that of the Huo family, it could only be said that it was better than anything.

Huo Yunjing smelled it and it had a charcoal-burning smell. The color was also darker, white with a hint of brown. I put it outside my mouth and tasted it. It didn't have the aroma of burnt chocolate and tasted very bad.

Sheng Wan listened quietly throughout the whole process. She didn't say anything until I finished speaking, then she scolded me with a look of regret: "He was so mean and cherished me before we got engaged. It's no use regretting it now. Yinyin is ugly and has a bad personality. She lacks everything. Why should you stay here and wait for him?"

On the seventh day, Gu Qingyin took Zhou Jingchuan and Huo Yunjing to Dongfang Lingjun's villa again.

During that meeting, Zhou Jingchuan felt that Dongfang Lingjun had relaxed a lot, and there was a feeling of relief from the inside out, as if he had let go of his obsession and finally started to truly enjoy his life.

Gu Qingyin paused, turned around and faced me, and took a look at my face before speaking, "Zhang Jinghui?"

Zhou Jingchuan smiled and said, "Congratulations."

Zhou Jingchuan looked at Huo Yunjing, "Where did they build the formation in the first place?"

Some people are not born too smoothly. They have nothing they want. They have suffered losses and hardships. They think the world revolves around them. But when we are hit hard for the first time in our lives, we will realize that we are in pain all over.

Huo Yunjing stopped sitting and ran over to look at the coffee beans.

The same goes for Huo Xingchen. I don’t own much real estate, so after socializing in the evening, I’ll just go to wherever is nearby.

As the saying goes, fate is wonderful.

"You looked up some information in the past few days. The space-time formation is more important than other formations. The location is more important than the construction." Dongfang Lingjun said seriously: "When the formation is activated, the surrounding magnetic field will also be affected. At worst, find a place far away from the city and where there are few people."

Gu Qingyin paused, raised her hand and rubbed his head, "Then you succeeded, you can call me mom openly in the future."

Huo Xingchen gritted his teeth and followed him out, asking, "What is his relationship with Zhou Jingchuan?"

"Bad!" Dongfang Lingjun slowly made a cup of milk, added only a little coffee, and made a cup of milk coffee for Huo Yunjing. He handed it to me, "That cup is his, take it."

Seeing that I was interested, Dongfang Lingjun simply gave me two beans and said, "That kind is more bitter, so you should eat it."

After the call was hung up, Huo Xingchen looked completely depressed. He no longer looked like the domineering CEO he once was.

Gu Qingyin bought that house in 1981, and she only stayed there for a night when she was on a commission or when she had to catch a flight.

Huo Yunjing: "Ailao Mountain."
