Chapter 227: Chapter 227 I Will Definitely Not Be Indifferent Like Lady An (Added Chapter) Chapter 227: Chapter 227 I Will Definitely Not Be Indifferent Like Lady An (Added Chapter) Gu Qiaoqiao wiped the sweat from her face, anxiously waiting for Qin Yize’s arrival.
In the sumr at the Imperial Capital, the air carried strands of floating warmth, and the lush green tree leaves beside the square seed lackluster.
Gu Qiaoqiao’s heart grew increasingly agitated.
Before long, a jeep sped over.
It stopped abruptly in front of Gu Qiaoqiao.
Qin Yize leaned out, opened the other side of the car door, and Gu Qiaoqiao, holding her shoulder bag, got into the car.
“Can you find out where the license plate is from?” Gu Qiaoqiao asked urgently as soon as she sat down.
“I’m checking,” Qin Yize said as he turned the steering wheel and drove onto the road.
“Where are we going now?” Gu Qiaoqiao asked hoarsely.
“To the An Family,” Qin Yize glanced at Gu Qiaoqiao, his voice gentle, “Don’t worry. Maybe Xiaotong will be back when we get there.”
I hope so.
Recalling the fate of the An Family in her previous life, Gu Qiaoqiao clenched her hands; she feared it wouldn’t be that simple.
Gu Qiaoqiao leaned her face against the car window, the wind fluttering through her hair, and the brilliant sunlight filled the sky outside the window.
Sotis, you can’t guard against everything.
Accidents always happen when you’re unprepared.
She furrowed her brows and sighed almost inaudibly.
A red light appeared ahead, and Qin Yize reminisced about probing Qinghuan a few days ago.
Turning his head, he spoke softly, “Has Qinghuan contacted you these days?”
“Uh…” Gu Qiaoqiao was startled and then rembered the scene she had witnessed that day; she clenched her fists and said, without looking away, “She hasn’t contacted .”
“Qinghuan’s background is sowhat complex; you shouldn’t associate with her,” Qin Yize spoke plainly.
Complex background?
Gu Qiaoqiao turned to look at Qin Yize, but noticed his lips were tightly pursed and his expression was very serious.
Had sothing happened that she didn’t know about?
Nonetheless, she nodded, “I understand.”
The green light illuminated, and the jeep continued driving forward.
They soon arrived in front of the large gate of the An Family’s estate.
It was Gu Qiaoqiao’s first visit.
The place was beautiful.
Trees lushly shaded the area, and the fragrance of flowers was thick.
It was said to have been a prince’s mansion in the past.
Later, it was divided into dozens of courtyards of varying sizes.
Gu Qiaoqiao looked at Qin Yize and asked with concern, “Does this affect your work?”
Qin Yize shook his head, “I’m currently on leave; it doesn’t affect .”
Gu Qiaoqiao got out of the car.
Truth be told, when Gu Qiaoqiao saw Xiaotong, she seed to see herself who had suffered so much in her previous life.
Helping her was like helping herself.
No one could understand Gu Qiaoqiao’s feelings.
Yet she knew that without those experiences later on, Xiaotong’s ntality wouldn’t have matured as much.
Thus, when faced with challenges, she wouldn’t be as calm and composed as she was.
So, she was exceptionally worried.
Qin Yize knocked on the An Family’s large door.
It was only after entering the An Family’s ho that they realized, other than Grandma An, no one seed very worried.
They all believed Xiaotong must have gone out with friends.
Mrs. An even complained to Grandma An, “This child often goes out. It’s not her first ti taking a car. Why are you so scared? Xiaolan and I had to leave our hair appointnts to co back, really…”
Gu Qiaoqiao sat on the sofa, watching the elder brother of the An Family and Xiaolan whispering to each other, and saw Mrs. An with a face full of resentnt.
Her heart sank too.
Even if Xiaotong had gone out with friends, even if Xiaotong would be back soon, how could her relatives act as if nothing was wrong, even feeling resentful?
What kind of family did Xiaotong actually live in?
Is it that in this world when you raise soone else’s child, you stop loving your own flesh and blood?
Just like Gu Qingfeng.
He drove out his own son to live in poverty, and then Gu Qingfeng himself lived in luxury, raising soone else’s son.
Marrying and having children, enjoying everything that should have belonged to the grandfather.
Actually, there are too many unfair and irrational places in this world.
Gu Qiaoqiao stood up, looked toward Mrs. An, and said coldly, “Lady An, I am really sorry, maybe I am overthinking, but you and your adopted daughter go continue doing your hair, I’ll go find Xiaotong, and not disturb you…”
Mrs. An’s face stiffened, and Xiaolan clenched her teeth in secret.
Then Gu Qiaoqiao tugged at Qin Yize’s arm.
Taking the cue, Qin Yize stood up, nodded to the An Family without wanting to say much, turned around, took Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand, and pulled her towards the door.
They couldn’t stay here any longer.
The An Family was too indifferent, which could stir Gu Qiaoqiao’s emotions.
Grandma An, anxious, glared fiercely at Mrs. An, looked at the three people, moved her lips, but did not speak.
Instead, she gave Xiaolan a aningful look, then chased after Gu Qiaoqiao and Qin Yize.
When she ca out, Gu Qiaoqiao was about to open the car door.
Seeing the only person who truly cared for Xiaotong, Gu Qiaoqiao turned around, walked up to Grandma An, and said, “Grandma An, don’t worry, Xiaotong will definitely be okay.”
Grandma An nodded, “Qiaoqiao, you also don’t worry, Xiaotong’s mother is just heartless…”
While she was speaking, the other people also ca out, apparently feeling that it was not very polite not to.
Thus, they smiled and talked to Qin Yize.
Qin Yize responded indifferently.
Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t even look at them, but said a few quiet words to Grandma An before getting into the car.
Qin Yize started the car and slowly left the An Family mansion.
Gu Qiaoqiao let out a breath, frowning deeply.
Xiaotong still hadn’t returned, where could she have gone?
Judging by Xiaolan’s behavior, she couldn’t tell anything at all.
As he drove, Qin Yize asked Gu Qiaoqiao, “Why were you at the entrance of the Imperial Capital Hotel?”
Gu Qiaoqiao jerked, realizing she hadn’t yet told Qin Yize about eting Xino.
She had only talked about Xiaotong’s situation.
Gu Qiaoqiao glanced at Qin Yize and started speaking in a low voice.
Just as she ntioned being forced into the car, Qin Yize’s expression sharpened, he turned the car towards the roadside and then stopped it.
Turning to look at Gu Qiaoqiao, his voice calm, he said, “Continue talking…”
Gu Qiaoqiao stared blankly into Qin Yize’s eyes, deep as the ocean, as if looking any longer might pull her into a whirlpool.
Gu Qiaoqiao’s heart skipped a beat, she silenced for a mont but still recounted the events that had just occurred to Qin Yize.
Of course, she would never ntion the comnt about having a child even if it killed her.
Qin Yize’s eyes grew cold, Xino, Alina…
They seed to have forgotten whose land this was.
After she finished, Gu Qiaoqiao took out the lighter and demonstrated, “You see, I have this, it’s almost invincible.”
This weapon was definitely powerful.
Its lethality wasn’t huge, but it was enough to shock the opponent.
Its greatest benefit was that it could be fired repeatedly.
Qin Yize pressed down her gesturing hand, not letting go, but leaned slightly forward, whispering so only they could hear, “Gu Qiaoqiao, if you disappeared, even for just a few hours, I would never be indifferent like Lady An, please believe !”
