Chapter 270: Reporters

But she did not return to the Yu Family in this lifetime, and she ended up having conflicts with them.

It was why the Yu family kept derailing off-track.

And with that, the Li Family might have been affected as well.

But no matter what, as long as it would bring trouble to the Yu family, Gu Qingjiu would gladly watch it unfold.

“Qingjiu, time for dinner!”

Gu Qingjiu was deep in thought when Qi Yuefeng’s voice pulled her back to her senses.

Qi Yuefeng brought the dishes out. “What are you thinking about that you look so deep in thought?”

“Mom, I’m not thinking about anything much, just thinking about when Dad will come back.”

Gu Qingjiu smiled at Qi Yuefeng before she walked over to gently press Qi Yuefeng’s shoulders down to get her to eat together.

“Aish.” Qi Yuefeng sighed. “Did your father cross some unlucky star for him to cross paths with such a despicable person?”

A dark glint flashed across Gu Qingjiu’s eyes. “That’s probably the case.”

Her parents didn’t know that it was the Yu family who had sent Hu Yan to them.

Hence, they only thought that they came across such a despicable person.

Else, they would be a lot angrier than this.

It was better that way, she guessed. She wasn’t intending to let her parents know about it.

It was better to have one less thing to worry about than to have one more.

“But we have to thank that Chief Instructor of yours.”

Qi Yuefeng’s words caused Gu Qingjiu’s hand, which was then picking up the chopsticks, pause in the air.

“If it wasn’t for him, how would we even capture Hu Yan? He’s too good. Hu Yan ran for three weeks, and yet he managed to arrest him within a day?”

Her question was hard for Gu Qingjiu to answer. “I’m not too sure, but the Chief Instructor is after all part of the army so he probably has some special connections?”

Qi Yuefeng nodded. “That’s true.”

Ordinary folks didn’t understand much, only that these people had their ways to know something if they wanted to and it was much easier for them as well.

“Aiya, Qingjiu. This time, your Chief Instructor helped us out so much, you must thank him well. If this incident with Hu Yan will be settled properly, I will get your father to treat him to a meal at Gu Yun Hotel. Do you think he will come?”

“…”

Gu Yun Hotel was exactly that five-star hotel which Gu Qingjiu and the Chief Instructor had already gone to twice.

She always remembered the Chief Instructor’s kindness and thought of repaying him in the future, but she forgot that her mother would also come up with something like this.

With that, she could not make a decision for the Chief Instructor.

She hesitated before replying. “I’m not sure about that. I’ll be going to the military academy in a few days, so I don’t know if I can get this settled before I leave.”

Which meant that she might not have the time to invite the Chief Instructor.

“We can’t just let it be. He has done us such a great favor and we wouldn’t even show our grat.i.tude? Not having the time right now is a thing. If your dad comes home tonight, give him a call and ask him if he’s willing to go. If he isn’t willing, we will think of something else.”

Qi Yuefeng carefully thought about it.

Gu Qingjiu did not try to avoid since showing their grat.i.tude was necessary. She nodded. “Okay. If Dad comes home tonight, I will give the Chief Instructor a call.”

She always felt that with the Chief Instructor’s personality, the chances of him rejecting the meal were around eighty percent even if he did help her.

But what Gu Qingjiu didn’t expect was that this incident was not completely over yet.

In the afternoon not long after Gu Qingjiu was done with her lunch, many reporters started appearing downstairs.

They looked as if they’ve received some news as they came crowding at Gu Qingjiu’s house, ready to interview them.

She was in her room when she heard the doorbell.

Under her coercion, her mother had already gone to rest for the afternoon so she went to open the door instead.

The moment that happened, a microphone was immediately stuffed through the door.
