Chapter 709: Chapter 709: It’s as if this threshold separates two different tilines
It completely killed his hope.
Otherwise, this entanglent would be detrintal to both families.
Before confirming what Dongfang Yu coveted from the Gu Family, she could not allow the Qin Family to be implicated by them any longer.
Combining past and present, the Qin Family had already been implicated by the Gu Family twice. There couldn’t be a third ti.
Gu Qiaoqiao put on a cotton coat, donned a scarf, and walked outside.
As she passed the living room, Lian Yuhong was pacing anxiously.
At this mont, she had no face to et Qin Yize.
Moreover, these days she seed to feel that her daughter had her reasons for her actions.
But whatever the reasons, she shouldn’t kick the Qin Family when they were down during their critical ti.
Her daughter shouldn’t be like this.
For Lian Yuhong, who was always kind to others, this was a blow.
However, she felt much better after Lady Yu’s consoling.
She would rather believe that both the Old Patriarch and her own daughter had their difficulties.
But even so, she had no face to et Qin Yize.
Because the forr Qin Yize used to co as if he were returning to his own ho.
But now he was denied entry.
And those who denied him entry were the head of the Gu Family.
And her eldest daughter.
Lian Yuhong was a traditional woman.
Really, she obeyed her father at ho, her husband after marriage, and centered her life around her children when they grew up.
She also didn’t have the courage to go outside and call Ah Ze in.
She didn’t know how to talk to Ah Ze.
Because the ungrateful, heartless person who had shut him out was her daughter.
She truly felt guilty.
She had always praised her daughter in front of Qin Yize, saying she was very good in thousands of ways.
But what about now?
When the Qin Family was in trouble, her daughter left them.
So it was also the most torturous for Lian Yuhong.
Seeing her daughter co out, Lian Yuhong took Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand and pleaded, “Qiaoqiao, Ah Ze is here, can you let him co in for a talk?”
Gu Qiaoqiao was silent for a mont, nodded, but didn’t argue. Instead, she said softly, “Okay.”
Lian Yuhong’s face instantly brightened, and she excitedly said to Gu Qiaoqiao, “Then I’ll add a few more dishes tonight, so you can have a good talk…”
As she spoke, Lian Yuhong hurried towards the kitchen in the back.
Gu Qiaoqiao gave a bitter smile.
Continuing towards the front door.
She then saw the tall, dignified man standing at the doorway.
He had grown thinner.
In his hand was a glowing red light, flickering on and off, bright and dim…
That was a cigarette!
How could he be smoking?
He had never smoked before.
At that mont, Gu Qiaoqiao felt a throbbing pain in her heart.
She stood in the snow and looked down.
When she looked up again, her gaze was serene.
Gu Qiaoqiao walked towards Qin Yize, calm and unhurried.
When Qin Yize saw Gu Qiaoqiao approaching, a twinge hit his heart.
The hand holding the cigarette gripped it tighter.
Then, he tossed the cigarette onto the snow.
And crushed it with his foot.
Afterward, he gazed intently at the approaching Gu Qiaoqiao.
Without speaking a word.
His eyes were fervent yet probing as he watched her.
It seed he wanted to discern sothing from Gu Qiaoqiao’s calm deanor.
Finally, Gu Qiaoqiao slowly approached Qin Yize.
At that mont, Qin Yize stood outside the door.
Gu Qiaoqiao stood inside the door.
The two gazed at each other across a thick red lacquered wooden door.
It seed the distance between them wasn’t rely that of a door.
Though rely yards apart, it felt as distant as the ends of the earth.
It was as though the threshold separated two different eras…
