Chapter 698: Chapter 698: The morning after getting drunk, the rose placed beside the pillow.
Gu Qingfeng opened with a detached tone, “Tis change. What was once good has co to an end. Considering the current situation, even if Qin Yize isn’t sentenced, he will be expelled from the base headquarters. Although he still has the Qin Family, your family is also struggling to survive within this tempest. I cannot let my great-granddaughter, nor can I let the heir to the Gu Family, be dragged down by your troubles.”
After these words were spoken, Qin Xuan was left speechless.
Because, at this very mont, everything Gu Qingfeng said was the truth.
Even during sleepless nights, he had thought about his son’s future.
If there were no witnesses, considering his son’s rit, he wouldn’t be punished.
But he would no longer be able to stay at the base headquarters.
And such a stain would follow his son for life.
At that ti, his son would be a man even less than an ordinary person.
The only two shops that his son owned, having been implicated in harboring smuggled goods, were confiscated, and whether they could be recovered was still unknown.
And the Qin family’s assets might not be salvageable.
Therefore, the future of this young couple was worriso.
It was one thing for him to think this, but another for it to be spoken by Gu Qingfeng.
Clenching his teeth, he said, “Old Patriarch, we both have no right to decide whether to go or stay. We must ask my son what he thinks.”
And Shen Manru’s face was pale with anguish. She wanted to say sothing but held back in the presence of the two elders.
And what should Grandma Qin do?
She was sowhat bewildered.
What Gu Qingfeng said was right.
But Grandma Qin didn’t believe that Qiaoqiao was a heartless and ungrateful person who would kick soone when they were down.
Suddenly, Grandma Qin said, “No, I must ask Qiaoqiao personally what she really thinks.”
Gu Qingfeng tily interjected, “Madam, there’s no need to force the child. You should know what kind of person Gu Qiaoqiao is; she is not one to be coerced.
This is her true feeling.
Didn’t you also disapprove of this marriage from the start?
And you also looked down on my great-granddaughter. Now that it’s ended this way, isn’t it good?
Let’s part on good terms, without leaving anyone unable to face the situation.”
These words made it impossible for Grandma Qin to seek Qiaoqiao anymore.
At this mont, Gu Qiaoqiao, standing in this room, knew in her heart that just like in her previous life, once she left the Qin Family Old Residence, she would never set foot in it again for the rest of her life.
It seed it would be the sa in this life as well.
What did she have to be upset about?
Wasn’t this what she wanted from the start?
When she was reborn, didn’t she want to leave Qin Yize?
Why feel upset at this ti? It would be too sentintal.
All of this should just go with the flow, fulfilling her wishes, right?
Therefore, at this mont, she allowed no ssy emotions.
Gu Qiaoqiao bit her teeth hard.
She cleared her mind of all emotions.
And focused all her attention on packing her belongings.
Gu Qiaoqiao had many possessions.
Gu Qiaoqiao gritted her teeth and injected her fingertips with a level of spiritual power she had never used before, fingers flying in what seed to others a blur of motion.
She packed up all her belongings in the shortest amount of ti.
Then, standing at the doorway, she looked around the room.
Her gaze settled on the slightly withered rose in the vase on the coffee table, lost in thought.
No one had the mind to take care of it these days.
So the rose withered.
She involuntarily rembered the morning after she had been drunk, the rose that had been next to her pillow.
