Chapter 238: Chapter 238: She Doesn’t Seem to Want to Acknowledge Him as Her Great Grandfather Chapter 238: Chapter 238: She Doesn’t Seem to Want to Acknowledge Him as Her Great Grandfather A few days after Ning Wanru left, he and Uncle Gu analyzed the woman’s intentions.
Combining all sorts of signs from the past, Gu Qingfeng guessed that Ning Wanru must have known about Gu Kun’s situation in advance.
Then she set up a series of traps, creating a fake Gu Kun. Afterwards, she prepared to put him to death, but alas, she never succeeded.
Perhaps it was fate’s intervention.
Then Ning Wanru and Gu Cheng’s plans failed, forcing them to change their strategy. Taking advantage of the moment when Qiaoqiao came to the hospital, Ning followed suit, creating a so-called coincidence.
Because Qiaoqiao bears an extreme resemblance to Lady Yu.
That indirectly proved that Qiaoqiao is his descendant.
Otherwise, Ning Wanru wouldn’t have gone to such lengths.
Then everything that followed made perfect sense.
Having realized all this, Gu Qingfeng felt a mix of joy and sorrow, both shock and anger.
After hearing about the recent events in Qiaoqiao’s family, Gu Qingfeng was sweating profusely.
Gu Tianfeng, his only legitimate grandson, had almost died in the cold river water.
And the culprit had not yet been found.
Shockingly, Gu Cheng’s eldest son was serving as the general manager in a company in Qingshui County, ostensibly for training, but Ning Wanru’s intentions were now crystal clear.
In that moment, Gu Qingfeng wished he could kill Ning Wanru’s entire family, but he had no evidence. However, he didn’t need any evidence.
If he believed it to be true, then it was true.
There was no room for argument.
Therefore, these past few days, Gu Qingfeng had been sending people to secretly protect Gu Tianfeng’s family in Stone Town, while waiting for Ning Wanru to bring the evidence she had long since prepared.
And, deep down in his heart, Gu Qingfeng wished so much for Qiaoqiao to come to the hospital to tell him in person that she was his great-granddaughter.
She clearly already knew her own identity.
She also knew the whereabouts of the jade pocket watch and had seen the photo inside, yet she bargained with him.
Her capabilities were just like those of the great grandfather, enabling her to easily open the jade pocket watch, and her desire for the Red Spirit Jade Marrow must surely be related to the Mysterious Dragon Box.
Yet, she seemed not to want to recognize him as her great grandfather.
It turned out, he had really become old.
Old enough for everyone to disregard him.
He remembered the words Qiaoqiao said at the time, and thought, maybe this was retribution.
And during this brief period of less than a week, Gu Qingfeng felt as if he were both in heaven and in hell.
His son was gone, but he had a refined and talented grandson, a capable granddaughter-in-law, two great-granddaughters, and a mischievous great-grandson.
Most importantly, his great-granddaughter Qiaoqiao had astonishing talent; everything she carved was a treasure.
The Gu Family wouldn’t come to an end in his hands.
Whenever Gu Qingfeng thought of this, he would be overcome with tears of joy.
And at this moment, even though he had prepared himself, when he saw the wedding photo of his son and daughter-in-law, his hands couldn’t help but tremble.
In the photo was his son—Gu Kun.
He left at fourteen, and in this picture, he appears to be about eighteen or nineteen.
He stared intently at the photo, the room in complete silence.
After a long while, he looked up and asked Gu Cheng, “Where did you get this photo?”
Gu Cheng was naturally prepared, “Jianhua has been in Qingshui County, hasn’t he? He went to town for business. A photography studio approached him, claiming they had a fire recently. Although there was damage, some photos survived, including one left by a customer from the Imperial Capital with the surname Gu. They couldn’t contact the person, but heard Jianhua was also from the Imperial Capital, so they asked him to help locate this customer…”
