Chapter 144: Great Aunt

Although they were not at the same place, it was still convenient to meet up.

Hearing that, it somehow lifted the sad atmosphere for a little bit. Yu Bao’er smiled back. “Okay.”

Gu Qingjiu nodded as she smiled, too. “I will call you tomorrow when I come out. You just have to remember to answer your phone.”

She had experienced so many of these farewells that Gu Qingjiu could remain calm throughout.

After placating Yu Bao’er, they waved goodbye and brought their own bags onto their respective buses.

Because they left the camp early, it was barely noon when they arrived at the city center.

She had long informed her family that she would go back for lunch, so Qi Yuefeng should be waiting for her at home.

When she arrived downstairs, she saw a few cars parked below the building.

The car models were familiar—all Gu family’s relatives.

Gu family had quite a lot of relatives and they had good relations.h.i.+ps with each other, something that was hard to come by nowadays.

Gu Qingjiu’s grandparents pa.s.sed away early on, so it left the Gu family with three brothers and an elder sister.

The eldest was Gu Qingjiu’s aunt, Gu Shouyan, who had a strong personality since she single-handedly raised her three younger brothers and with that, she was the backbone of Gu family.

Gu Qingjiu’s father, Gu Hong, was the second child of the family.

He had two younger brothers.

The third child, Gu Li.

The youngest, Gu He.

Within the Gu family, the three sons were all promising. His two younger brothers both had families and currently reside overseas, only coming back every New Year to visit. It was only Go Qingjiu’s aunt who regularly visited their family.

But because she was adopted, Gu Qingjiu had always felt like this aunt didn’t actually really like her.

On the surface, however, she would still politely treat Gu Qingjiu.

In her previous life, when she heard that her Gu parents pa.s.sed on after an accident, her Great Aunt hated her more.

Which was why this familiar car parked under her apartment complex caused those memories to surge up.

In her previous life, her parents died because of her.

The reason her aunt didn’t like her was that she was adopted, and she feared that she wouldn’t be close to the family. Gu Qingjiu’s adoptive parents treated her well, but they were also scared that if she returned to her biological parents, she would gradually forget about them.

Although Gu Qingjiu said that she was forced to return to the Yu family, her aunt did not believe her.

The Yu family was a prestigious and wealthy n.o.ble family. It was a great honor to be part of it, so who in their right mind would reject it?

The reason Gu Qingjiu knew about the hatred her aunt held for her was that it was her aunt who informed her about her adoptive parent’s death when she visited her in prison.

Until then, she couldn’t forget the cold piercing hatred in Gu Shouyan’s eyes as she stared right at her.

As if she wanted to strangle her with her own hands.

But no one could blame her for it. No matter who it was, they wouldn’t be able to accept that the younger brother they so painstakingly raised would die because of an adopted daughter.

Even if Gu Qingjiu’s adoptive parents pa.s.sed on because of a traffic accident, it still happened in North City.

Gu Qingjiu was in North City then, so their reason for being there would definitely be counted on Gu Qingjiu’s head.

Recalling all these, Gu Qingjiu clenched her fists as her heart squeezed tight.

Now that she was back, none of what had happened in her precious life had taken place yet. Her aunt only felt slight repulsion for her as an adopted daughter, but it was not to the stage of disdain. She had to change all these!
