Gu Jin gently patted his hand, soothingly said, "We’re heading back now, don’t worry, maybe it’s nothing."
Even she couldn’t comfort herself with these words.
"Yes, let’s go back, we’ll take a look!"
Gu Jiajie stuffed his phone into his pocket, staring intently at Gu Jin.
Gu Jin turned around, gazing at the sleepy-eyed young man leaning against the bedroom door, and said, "Wait a mont, I’ll say a word to An Ming."
She turned and walked towards An Mingji, who had just co out of the bedroom after the door knock sounded.
"An Ming, I’m taking Jiajie on a trip to Qingshan Village, you stay ho and sleep well, I’ll be back soon."
The young man asked, "Can’t I co with?"
Recalling the scene from the dream, Gu Jin refused, "Not this ti."
"Alright, then go and return quickly."
"Got it, you behave."
Gu Jin tiptoed, reaching out to caress the boy’s soft hair.
Then she turned and left.
Gu Jin accompanied Gu Jiajie downstairs, discussing while walking, "It’s late now, not easy to find a car, we’ll hire one back."
"I’ll follow your lead!"
So long as they could return, Gu Jiajie was agreeable to anything.
However, upon getting downstairs, they encountered Wanqi Yihai smoking beside a business car, flanked by several cultivators with cultivation.
Seeing Gu Jin co down, the other party appeared sowhat surprised.
Glancing at Gu Jiajie standing impatiently beside her, he asked, "What’s happened?"
Gu Jiajie did not know him, thus didn’t respond.
Gu Jin fixed her gaze on the car behind Wanqi Yihai, asking, "Is this car available for lending? I’d like to borrow it."
"Borrow!"
Wanqi Yihai imdiately spoke up.
He tossed the cigarette in his hand to the ground, extinguishing it, personally opening the car door.
Gu Jin didn’t move, "I’ll drive, no need to trouble you."
Wanqi Yihai smiled eagerly, saying, "No trouble, no trouble, we couldn’t sleep either, or else why would we be out for a midnight walk."
A midnight walk, smoking below soone’s apartnt, only Wanqi Yihai could say such things without blushing.
In the end, Gu Jin got into the business car with Gu Jiajie.
Wanqi Yihai followed along, asking directly where to go; if he didn’t recognize the place, Gu Jin pointed.
The business car slowly exited the neighborhood, heading in the direction Gu Jin indicated.
Trailing behind them, another business car closely followed, its passengers being cultivators from the Wanqi Family, ensuring Wanqi Yihai’s safety.
The driver sped along the way, taking over an hour, arriving at Qingshan Village.
If not for the tough road ahead, they might have arrived within an hour.
Returning to the familiar mountain village, Gu Jin and Gu Jiajie imdiately spotted the lights on at ho.
Nearly two o’clock now, at this hour, the lights should be shut off for sleep, yet they were brightly lit.
Both felt uneasy.
The business car stopped at the door, Gu Jin and Gu Jiajie swiftly alighted, heading straight for the house.
Last year, the family built a new house, finding a plot by the village entrance; it’s very quiet here, with only a household ten ters away, no others, away from the bustling village center.
Just as they drew near the door, before they could knock, suppressed sobbing could be heard from inside.
"Why is my life so miserable, what sin have I committed, my poor Minmin my pitiful daughter..."
"Mom, I won’t marry, I won’t marry wuwu..."
"If you’re not marrying, who do you think you’re marrying? Best you agree to this engagent, or tomorrow I’ll let everyone in Qingshan Village know your daughter’s nothing but a worn-out shoe!"
A crude, yelling male voice followed.
