"That's why I'm looking for your cooperation."
Gu Ruoxue looked at the master and servant in front of her and spoke slowly, her words full of deep meaning.
"Looking for me to cooperate?" Ji Qingyi was a little surprised. She looked at Gu Ruoxue and asked puzzledly.
Gu Ruoxue nodded slightly, and then added: "As long as everyone works together and regains their memories at the same time, there will be no winners or losers, and his plan will fail."
Her words eased the atmosphere in the car a little.
Ji Qingyi nodded gently, frowned slightly, and asked tactfully: "Your plan is to hope that there will be no winner in this game, right?"
"Yes, that's right." Gu Ruoxue nodded firmly, and then explained in detail: "As long as we can join forces and recover the lost memories together, there will be no winners or losers, and his conspiracy will fail."
At this point, Gu Ruoxue's gentle smile swept across her face, as if carrying a rare warmth: "I know his character quite well. Since he has decided on this plan, no matter who dissuades him, or even forcibly stops him, it will probably be useless. Therefore, we must take action and make full preparations before we win. As for the marriage certificate, you can let me keep it."
After Gu Ruoxue finished speaking, she paused, then her eyes moved back and forth between Ji Qingyi and Liu Qingyue, finally stopping at Liu Qingyue, and continued to ask: "What do you think of my plan?"
"I have no objection." Liu Qingyue smiled and shrugged gently, then added: "Besides, this is a good thing for the young lady."
"Good news?" Ji Qingyi raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was a little surprised by Liu Qingyue's words.
"Yes, that's right." Liu Qingyue answered confidently, and then patiently explained: "Because I believe that if the young lady loses Su Cheng's memory, even if you carry the marriage certificate with you, I am sure you will choose to cancel the engagement without hesitation. You may even send someone to throw this so-called fiancé named Su Cheng into Yancheng Bay to feed the fish."
This answer seemed to make Ji Qingyi and Gu Ruoxue feel a little surprised. The air seemed to freeze, and then the three of them fell into deep silence.
But soon, Gu Ruoxue finally broke the deadlock and smiled, as if to say: This suits you very well.
Although the expression on Ji Qingyi's face was a little subtle, it did not change much. Her eyes were still cold, as if everything was within her expectations.
"We need to confirm it before we can make a conclusion."
She looked at Gu Ruoxue and said calmly, "If it's really as you said, I suggest we can exchange the items."
As Ji Qingyi finished speaking, the atmosphere in the carriage became more tense.
Chapter 461 Cooking
Finally, the car stopped at the gate of Su Cheng's apartment complex. Considering that Su Cheng had not returned, the three of them started a discussion in the car again.
"We can go buy some ingredients, after all, it's almost time for dinner."
Gu Ruoxue habitually bent her index finger at her chin as if thinking, her eyes thoughtful, then she slowly raised her head and looked at Ji Qingyi.
However, before Ji Qingyi could react, she turned to look at Liu Qingyue, opened her red lips, and made her own suggestion: "In order to use time more efficiently, I suggest that we prepare dinner together and enjoy it together when he comes back. Do you have any opinions?"
"That's a good idea." Liu Qingyue nodded with a smile, her eyes gleaming with approval. "After all, the first thing he does when he comes back is to prepare dinner. If we prepare it in advance, he can enjoy the food right after he comes back, and we can also have more time to communicate."
However, Gu Ruoxue suddenly ignored her during the discussion just now, which made Ji Qingyi feel despised.
Especially when she saw her maid chatting enthusiastically with Gu Ruoxue, she wished she could just open the car door and leave.
"But!" Having said this, Liu Qingyue raised her left arm and gently held Ji Qingyi's arm, with a proud and boastful tone, "However, this matter still needs to be consulted with our eldest lady. After all, our eldest lady's cooking skills are praised by Su Cheng and he never forgets it!"
This sentence actually surprised Gu Ruoxue, because she knew clearly that Ji Qingyi had always been a young lady who had never done any housework. She had never done ordinary housework by herself, let alone cooking.
Ji Qingyi was startled by Liu Qingyue's sudden compliment, and Gu Ruoxue's surprised look made her a little angry, but more of it was just uncomfortable.
Thinking of Gu Ruoxue's previous contempt and neglect, coupled with her current expression that surprised her, Ji Qingyi was a little angry, but her pride was also awakened.
So, Ji Qingyi waved his hand and said expressionlessly, "For now, let's just leave it at that."
Gu Ruoxue's eyes flashed with surprise, and then she said, "I misjudged you. I was rude."
Then, she smiled calmly and peacefully, looking at Ji Qingyi, as if she wanted to delve into her innermost thoughts: "What do you think of this proposal?"
Ji Qingyi picked up the teacup and sipped the tea gracefully. Then, she turned to Liu Qingyue and shook her head at Gu Ruoxue with a barely perceptible indifference. She said, "You just need to go with her to buy some ingredients. As for cooking... I'll do it."
There was a clear rejection of Gu Ruoxue's invitation in her words.
After hearing Ji Qingyi's answer, the two women showed different expressions on their faces.
Gu Ruoxue was thoughtful and realized that things did not seem to be as the little maid said.
Liu Qingyue sighed with regret, as if lamenting an expectation that could not be fulfilled.
Despite this, Liu Qingyue still tried to persuade Ji Qingyi: "Miss, I believe Su Cheng will be extremely happy if she can see you cooking again."
Ji Qingyi shook her head calmly, indicating that she would not change her decision. She picked up the teacup again, took a sip of tea leisurely, and then said to the two of them, "Go quickly, don't waste time."
Her tone was full of determination, as if to say: I have made up my mind, no matter what you say, you can't change me. "
If Su Cheng was alone, it wouldn't matter if she cooked, but today Gu Ruoxue and Li Guanqi were present. If she cooked in front of them, wouldn't she become a laughing stock and be ridiculed by everyone?
"Okay, we'll be back soon." Liu Qingyue replied obediently, then left with Gu Ruoxue.
However, before leaving, Gu Ruoxue glanced at Ji Qingyi curiously, as if to say, "You don't know how to cook at all, why do you look so confident? This is really confusing."
Seeing this look, the teacup in Ji Qingyi's hand trembled slightly, and she almost lost control of the cup.
However, this was not the end. After the two women got off the car, Gu Ruoxue specifically asked Liu Qingyue: "Does your eldest daughter really know how to cook?"
"You can tell by looking at her married face, right?"
Liu Qingyue's words revealed an attitude that was both implicit and resolute: "No need to say more."
Although Liu Qingyue's words were full of sincerity, her argument did not hold water, so she turned her head again and stared at the car with a puzzled expression.
Facing the same doubtful gaze again, Ji Qingyi felt a surge of anger in his heart.
Of course, she still felt a little guilty.
However, she did not explode. Instead, she took a deep breath, trying her best to remain graceful and calm, then picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
At the same time, in the fresh food supermarket, Gu Ruoxue and Liu Qingyue were selecting fresh ingredients.
Seeing that the ingredients Gu Ruoxue picked were all Su Cheng's favorites, Liu Qingyue's lips curled up into a meaningful smile.
She joked, "I didn't expect that the ingredients you picked were all Su Cheng's favorites. It seems that your understanding and perception of cooking is about to catch up with our eldest daughter!"
Gu Ruoxue was picking tomatoes. When she heard Liu Qingyue's words, she paused for a moment and glanced at Liu Qingyue: "Is there any explanation for this?"
When Liu Qingyue heard Gu Ruoxue's question, the corners of her mouth lifted up, revealing a gentle smile. She began to slowly explain her eldest daughter's cooking philosophy: "This is her pampering of Su Cheng. She calls it 'love cooking'. In her opinion, the most important thing in cooking is love. If there is love, the food will become delicious. Love is ok. If there is no love, it is just rubbish pre-prepared food, not even as good as food, just feed."
Gu Ruoxue was a little surprised when she heard this theory: "This is really interesting. I didn't expect her to have such an opinion. But pre-prepared meals..."
Seeing this, Liu Qingyue smiled softly, then she picked up a plump tomato and put it into Gu Ruoxue's shopping basket. Then, she asked casually, "Actually, Su Cheng's purpose is not as simple as you said, right?"
Hearing this, Gu Ruoxue paused in mid-air while holding the green vegetables. She turned her head and stared at Liu Qingyue, her eyebrows slightly raised: "Oh? Why do you have such an idea?"
"Nothing, I'm just curious." Liu Qingyue replied, and she picked up another handful of greens and put them into the basket. However, when she raised her head, her beautiful eyes suddenly burst into a gleam of wisdom, and that stern look made Gu Ruoxue remember it a little more.
"Haha, it seems that I was right." Liu Qingyue's lips curled up into a faint smile, she chuckled softly, and then lowered her head again.
With delicate movements, she put the last carrot into Gu Ruoxue's basket, then slowly raised her head and said in a tone that seemed to be stating a fact: "However, using your method, it seems to really meet the expectations of all of us. Let's try it this way first."
As soon as she finished speaking, she walked towards the refrigerator and said, "I'll go get some meat."
Gu Ruoxue stared quietly at Liu Qingyue's receding back, as if trying to figure out the meaning of her words.
After a few seconds, she began to refocus on the task of selecting vegetables. Together, the two of them selected various ingredients, and only after everything was carefully selected did they return to their vehicle with a full load.
The driver skillfully helped place the ingredients in the trunk, then got in the car, which slowly drove towards Su Cheng's apartment.
Liu Qingyue came out first, went to the trunk and opened it, then picked up the bags with both hands, and finally closed the trunk with her delicate chin.
After getting off the car, Gu Ruoxue looked at her and hurried over to help, but Liu Qingyue politely declined.
Therefore, Gu Ruoxue and Ji Qingyi could only walk in front, while Liu Qingyue followed behind with the ingredients.
Soon, the three of them took the elevator and arrived directly at the door of Su Cheng's house.
However, when they arrived at Su Cheng's house, the three girls looked at each other and the atmosphere became awkward for a while.
Liu Qingyue held the food in her arms, poked her head out slightly, and asked the two girls in a serious yet teasing tone: "Don't you have a key?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Ruoxue and Ji Qingyi frowned and shook their heads subconsciously.
"You guys...really." Liu Qingyue sighed softly, put the food on the ground, and took out a key from her bag. As she inserted the key into the lock, she complained: "A nominal ex-girlfriend, a nominal fiancée, didn't even bring a key. Instead, I, a servant in your eyes..."
Before she finished her words, she decisively turned the key a few times. A crisp "click" sound reached their ears, and the door was opened.
However, the opening of this door seemed to bring an inexplicable pressure, and Gu Ruoxue and Ji Qingyi's faces became a little ugly.
Chapter 462 Gathering
On a bus.
"Are they home?"
Li Guanqi looked at the flowing scenery outside the window, with a hint of worry and confusion in his eyes.
Su Cheng said "they".
Then it's definitely not one person.
It might refer to the master and servant, or more likely there were three people, including Gu Ruoxue.
Li Guanqi's heart was like a surging wave. Thinking about this, it was as if they had reached a consensus during their conversation in the afternoon and decided to go to Su Cheng's house together.
"Should be here, right?"
Su Cheng, who was sitting next to him, lowered his head and thought for a moment, with a hint of hesitation in his voice.
"We'll know once we go back and take a look."
"understood."
Li Guanqi pretended to be calm and answered indifferently. This uncertain answer did not bring Li Guanqi the hope she expected. Instead, it made her mood even heavier, and a trace of chaotic emotions quietly grew in her heart.
Because Su Cheng's words were so subtle, indicating that some people might move into his house, otherwise why would Su Cheng deliberately ask her to stay overnight?
If we really want them to stay...
Li Guanqi felt inexplicably uneasy. The relationship between her and the other three girls was already delicate and awkward, and now she had to face such a situation again, which made her feel that getting along with them was a problem.
What identity should she use?
What position and reason should we use to face them?
However, what she wanted to know more than all this was why they chose to stay at Su Cheng's house?
Especially Ji Qingyi and Gu Ruoxue, the two of them rarely appear together, and have never even come to Su Cheng's house together. Why do they appear at the same time today?
He even wanted to stay the night.
The information obtained from Su Cheng's words just now made Li Guanqi feel that the situation was increasingly serious.
Her face gradually turned pale as she thought of a terrible possibility.
Perhaps, Su Cheng is planning a big move.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain Ji Qingyi and Gu Ruoxue's current behavior patterns. The two people who originally did not get along with each other actually began to cooperate with each other, contrary to their usual behavior, and made the incredible decision to stay overnight at Su Cheng's house.
Li Guanqi was deeply confused, his beautiful eyes gradually lost their luster, as if they had lost all their vitality in an instant.
Fortunately, she still had the means to control the situation so that she didn't have to bear it alone.
—Call Cornelia.
Thinking of this, Li Guanqi subconsciously reached for the mobile phone in his bag. While picking it up, he did not forget to observe Su Cheng's movements next to him.
I saw Su Cheng next to me was also chatting on his phone.
Seeing this, she took out her cell phone, directly found Cornelia's contact information, and quickly edited a message and sent it without hesitation.
Li Guanqi: "Su Cheng's house is really lively tonight. I heard that Sister Su is here too."
Soon Cornelia's message came back.
Cornelia: "Sister Su? You mean Sister Su Yue?!"
Li Guanqi: “Yes, that’s right.”
Cornelia: "Wait for me, I'll be there soon!"
After getting the other party's accurate answer, she felt a little relieved. After all, she was no longer fighting alone. Although it was a bit unkind to sell Liu Qingyue out directly, she also hoped that the two of them would be able to get along well after meeting again.
She put her phone into her bag and turned to look at Su Cheng next to her. She saw that he was still holding his phone and chatting with someone, and he didn't seem to pay any attention to her.
This made Li Guanqi feel uneasy again.
"Who are you talking to, so focused?"
Li Guanqi tried to open her mouth to test the water, her eyes moving across Su Cheng's profile. A trace of nervousness flashed through her heart, fearing that he would be displeased, or just give her a perfunctory answer.
