Chapter 191: That Was Her Daughter!

“Sure!”

Huo Yingcheng readily agreed. He whipped out his phone and tossed it over to Gu Qingjiu

“Thank you, Commander Huo.”

After thanking him, Gu Qingjiu swiped on the phone.

But it had to be unlocked using a pa.s.sword…

Gu Qingjiu said, “Commander Huo, your phone is locked and needs a pa.s.sword.”

“Pa.s.sword is 1234.”

Gu Qingjiu was speechless.

However, it wasn’t the time to discuss how simple and crude Commander Huo’s phone pa.s.sword was. After unlocking the phone, she called home.

…

Gu family.

Shortly after crying, because she had suffered too great of a blow, Qi Yuefeng called Gu Qingjiu while she was still in camp.

In the end, Gu Qingjiu said she’ll return immediately.

That made Qi Yuefeng feel a little uneasy.

Her daughter was training in the military, and she shouldn’t be concerned with such matters at the moment.

She could have just called during the weekend.

At least her daughter wouldn’t think too much at the time being.

Qi Yuefeng was fully aware that one couldn’t easily leave the camp while they’re training. If so, wouldn’t her daughter be worrying in vain since she couldn’t even go out of the camp?

She blamed herself. She had suffered too great a blow from what her daughter’s ‘mother’ told her.

That madam spoke super harshly.

She claimed to come from North City and was the madam of the Yu family.

She even tossed out the name of the company that Qu Yuefeng, a simple housewife who never traveled far from home, had heard of.

It was a renowned large enterprise.

And Gu Qingjiu was the daughter of that enterprise’s owner.

Qi Yuefeng was shocked. It had never occurred to her that her daughter was of n.o.ble birth.

Tan Yalan reprimanded her for not looking for Gu Qingjiu’s biological parents after they had found her, causing Gu Qingjiu to ‘suffer hards.h.i.+p’ for so many years!

Her family never mistreated Gu Qingjiu in any way, but in Tan Yalan’s eyes…

Such a life, such a family…

For their Gu Qingjiu…

Was considered ‘suffering hards.h.i.+p.’

Because a prominent family lived a life of luxury that ordinary folks couldn’t even imagine.

Moreover, Gu Qingjiu’s adoptive mother was even so unpresentable.

Qi Yuefeng could only suffer in silence, unable to refute Tan Yalan’s words.

Back then, they had tried looking for Gu Qingjiu’s biological parents for some time and even stuck up ‘missing person’ notices.

But during that time, because of her husband’s promotion at work, they had to move to Dayi City.

They didn’t spend much time in North City after that.

Furthermore, they had always wanted a daughter.

Hence, after Gu Qingjiu’s biological parents didn’t show up for a month, they brought the child to Dayi City.

It had been so many years, and all along they had done their best for this daughter and never once mistreated her.

She wanted to refute Tan Yalan with these words, but one sentence from the latter and it struck Qi Yuefeng’s soft spot.

“Tried finding? That’s just empty talk. You merely wanted a daughter. Do you think I didn’t check on your family before coming? You’ve suffered a miscarriage before, haven’t you? And it was also a baby girl!”

That arrogant and unkind face, that disdainful att.i.tude… all those made Qi Yuefeng break down.

She had told no one about these matters.

Only she and her husband knew about this; Gu Qingjiu and Gu Qingmo didn’t even know.

But to these prominent families, no matter how well they concealed it, it was just a matter of time before they found out.

She was like a child whose thoughts were exposed. The only bad thought she ever had got magnified infinitely that it filled up her entire heart, ultimately causing her to break down.

She only wanted a daughter, and Qingjiu was her daughter. All these years, she had regarded Qingjiu as her precious darling.

She was her daughter!
