“Don’t investigate anymore. Gong Sheng protects that woman very tightly. He sent people to specially follow her, afraid that her identity would be exposed. He’s too treacherous. I don’t want you to take the slightest risk and go against him,” Gong Jue said sternly.
Gu Qiqi frowned. “But Yun Qiao is one of my two best friends. She left Qingcheng alone and disappeared. She’s penniless and doesn’t have a degree. I’m very worried about her.”
More importantly, the ending of Yun Qiao’s previous life was too miserable. She wanted to protect Yun Qiao and remind her not to make the same mistake again.
Gong Jue was infected by Gu Qiqi’s tone. Stupid woman, she was worried about other people’s troubles before she could even solve her own problems.
She was so kind that he wanted to bite her.
He said in a deep voice, “Did you just say that you met her face to face at the cafe?”
“Yes.”
“Then have you ever thought about why the woman with Gong Sheng refused to acknowledge you if it’s really Yun Qiao?”
Gu Qiqi was speechless.
She had never thought about it from this angle.
Yes, although she was dressed as a man that day, Yun Qiao would definitely recognize her.
Although the waiter who brought the coffee that day had her head lowered the entire time, and they could not see her face, Gu Qiqi and Xiao Ning’s faces were exposed.
If that waiter was Yun Qiao, why would she rather help them silently and be fired by the manager for an excuse than acknowledge them?
Why did Yun Qiao… not want to see them?
Gu Qiqi was a little depressed.
Gong Jue’s voice softened. “But the good news is that since Gong Sheng’s men are following her, her life is definitely not in danger. Although Gong Sheng is a little black-bellied, he will not kill her to silence her. We will remain calm for the time being. When he relaxes his guard, I will arrange for someone to investigate.”
Gu Qiqi nodded.
This was the only way.
It was not easy to clarify the rumor about Gong Sheng. It was understandable that he was afraid of others investigating that woman’s identity.
Yun Qiao had yet to debut and become a superstar, so there was still a possibility of changing her fate. She might not walk the same path as in her previous life and be kept by the same financier. She was too anxious.
They had already reached the school. She pushed the door open and prepared to get out of the car.
Gong Jue suddenly grabbed her slender arm and said in a deep voice, “Qiqi, I’m sorry.”
Gu Qiqi thought that he was talking about Yun Qiao, so she waved her hand. “I understand. Big Brother has his worries. I won’t hate him for threatening us. Just like you said, we’ll wait for an opportunity to investigate.”
“Qiqi, that’s not what I’m talking about.”
Gu Qiqi looked up and turned around in confusion.
She did not expect to meet Gong Jue’s deep eyes.
Gong Jue pulled her arm gently and said again, “I’m sorry. I didn’t tell you about Gong Ting in advance. I… was afraid that you would despise me.”
A rare look of dejection appeared on Gong Jue’s face as he explained further, “That was an absurd matter a few years ago. I was afraid that you wouldn’t understand, so I didn’t tell you the truth. I’m sorry, I hid the truth that I have a son. You can be angry at me however you want, but can you not sentence me to death immediately?”
Gu Qiqi opened her mouth in shock.
Due to the existence of the little packrat, Gong Jue lowered his head and apologized to her once again!
Actually, she was a little angry, but she did not want to completely deny him just because he had a son.
A few years ago… No matter what kind of woman he had a child with, why did that woman abandon the child? After all, those were not times she had participated in.
