It wasn’t long before hurried footsteps were heard through the phone tube, but they weren’t from just one person.
Gu Jin heard the sound of soone picking up the phone.
"Jin girl, this is Grandpa."
Old Master Gu’s voice rang out.
"Grandpa." Gu Jin obediently greeted him.
The old master asked, "I heard Yuchun sent soone to find you, wanting to take you away?"
"Yes, I didn’t agree, but it seems the other party is not giving up easily."
The old master fell silent upon hearing this, after a while he said, "Jin girl, after all these years, they haven’t asked about you. Let’s just wait and see. Don’t be too soft-hearted, this matter is not simple."
These words were also said by the old master in a past life.
Though back then, it wasn’t as direct, he just subtly hinted at it.
But at that ti, Gu Jin didn’t believe him, she was so dizzy from being coaxed by Butler Zhen, eagerly wanting to see her biological parents.
Hearing the old master’s words again, the light in Gu Jin’s eyes softened, and she said softly, "I understand, Grandpa."
"Hmm, don’t just look at the surface of things. I’ll talk to your dad about this. He called today, said he misses you, but because of an urgent task, and you were in class at the ti, he didn’t call you."
Gu Jin’s heart turned soft.
For so many years, Gu Dehao has been in the army, his tasks are very dangerous, under confidentiality agreents, he wrote a will when he joined.
"When will Dad retire?"
She rembered it wouldn’t be long, maybe these next couple of years, Gu Dehao would return with his wife and child.
The old master said, "He said once he trains this group of subordinates, he’ll co back."
He hadn’t seen his second son for a long, long ti, saying he doesn’t miss him is impossible.
The old master’s voice carried a hint of anticipation.
Gu Jin chatted with the old master for a while, listened to a few words of advice, and then hung up the phone.
She casually placed the phone on the bed, got up and went to the window, pulling open the curtain to look downstairs.
Butler Zhen was no longer there, and the car was nowhere to be seen.
Their departure did not an giving up.
She knew Butler Zhen wouldn’t give up easily.
This ti, she would never be so easily fooled, and definitely wouldn’t go to Beijing.
She wasn’t afraid of any thods from the Zhen Family.
But facing the Zhen Family again, she felt extrely disgusted.
"Knock knock—"
The bedroom door was knocked.
Imdiately after, An Mingji’s aggrieved voice ca from outside: "Sister Jin, the hotel has sent food, do you want to co out and have so?"
Every ti she heard him calling her Sister Jin so aggrievedly, Gu Jin felt she couldn’t take it.
The young man’s sweet and pleasant voice, mixed with restrained grievance, made her want to give him everything she had.
Just to see his smile.
"On my way!"
Gu Jin left the window, returned to the bedside, put on her slippers, and headed to the door.
When the door opened, it revealed An Mingji standing outside.
The young man had taken off his glasses and was staring at the door with a lancholic gaze, the grievance and lancholy in those affectionate peach blossom eyes, mixed with unspoken worry, struck right at Gu Jin’s heart.
She walked out of the room, took the young man’s hand, and said gently, "What’s the matter, who made my darling unhappy, is it Duoduo?"
She pretended to be angry, glaring at Duoduo squatting at the young man’s feet.
"Awoo—"
Hearing its mistress call it, Duoduo happily stood up and circled around the two.
Its silly look was truly adorably foolish.
An Mingji didn’t even glance at this fool, he fixed his gaze on Gu Jin and said, "It’s not Duoduo’s fault, I just feel like you have sothing you didn’t tell , I’m really worried about you."
