Huo Yingcheng and He Niancheng werent in a rush to leave. They looked up at Gu Qingjius residence from outside.

Does that lass live here?

Huo Yingcheng felt a sense of wonder. The place she lived at seemed ordinary.

But Qingjiu, on the other hand, didnt look ordinary.

He Niancheng had been here once, so he didnt bother looking up. He started fidgeting with another lighter.

When Huo Yingcheng retracted his gaze and was about to drive away, He Niancheng spoke up coldly, Wait a while more.

Wait for what?

Huo Yingcheng froze in surprise. He Niancheng said nothing.

As Gu Qingjiu went up to her home, realization dawned on Huo Yingcheng. Major-General, surely not? Why didnt you just ask her what time she would go back? From the looks of it, her family issues arent going to be solved anytime soon.

With a strike of the lighter, the flame illuminated He Nianchengs fingertips. His actions were fluid and elegant as he fiddled with the lighter, that even the flame seemed to dance on his fingertips.

Gazing at that flame, he calmly ordered, Check on her biological parents.

Sure, no problem.

For people like them, even if they didnt have any clues, checking on something was relatively easy for them.

Gu Qingjiu went upstairs. As she had left in a hurry, she brought nothing back with her, not even her keys. Hence, she could only slap anxiously on the door.

Quickly, the door was open. It was Gu Hong who opened the door.

Dad!

Gu Qingjiu immediately shouted. Then, peering into the house, she asked, Wheres Mom?

Your Moms asleep.

Gu Hong turned his body sideways for her to enter. She isnt feeling well today.

Perhaps because of how Tan Yalan agitated her, she kept complaining of a headache.

Since it took Gu Qingjiu three hours to get back by car, Qi Yuefeng fell asleep before she even arrived.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingjius heart tightened.

She turned around and pulled at Gu Hongs sleeves. Dad, tell me, did someone came to look for Mom today? What did that person say?

Earlier on, she only learned that someone from the Yu family showed up. But for the reason behind it, Gu Qingjiu couldnt figure it out.

Gu Hong had some hesitation. But after some thought, he made her sit on the sofa and told her about some things.

Since youre old enough now, its time for you to know certain things. Youve known since before that were not your biological parents, and weve never concealed that from you. But today, your biological mother came and said that she must bring you back with her. Moreover, your biological parents are of distinguished identities.

Tan Yalan?

Gu Qingjiu felt a little disconcerted.

That arrogant woman actually came?

Gu Qingjiu could still vividly remember the attitude she showed her in her previous life!

But in this lifetime, she was in a different place, and such a change took her by surprise.

Tan Yalan wouldnt possibly come here on her own two feet if everything followed the events from her previous life!

Only

Because in her eyes, it was unbefitting of her stature.

Seeing the shock in Gu Qingjius eyes, Gu Hong thought she was simply surprised by what she had heard about her biological parents. Worry surged up in his heart.

Qingjiu, whatever thoughts you have, tell me. Dad and Mom will always support your decision. If you miss your biological parents and wish to return to their sides, its okay.

He tried his best to say it as calmly as he could, but his voice still quivered a little.

He was the main pillar in this family, and Gu Qingjiu was the daughter he raised for over ten years.

His daughter might be someone elses daughter soon, and they might no longer have any ties after that.

Even Gu Hong found it hard to accept.
