Chapter 242: Chapter 242: No, He Has to Give Qiaoqiao a Set of House Chapter 242: Chapter 242: No, He Has to Give Qiaoqiao a Set of House Gu Qiaoqiao watched as a clump of roses angrily bloomed, swaying gently in the wind.
She thought, without her grandfather at home, Grandma Qin must be his only sustenance and attachment.
Gu Qiaoqiao firmly believed that her grandparents must be living together just as warmly and happily as before.
At that moment, a crisp and cool breath slowly approached her.
Carrying a trace of seductive heat.
She turned her head and saw Qin Yize with worried eyes.
Gu Qiaoqiao was startled.
Qin Yize spoke softly, “I’m sorry, for reminding you of sad things…”
Gu Qiaoqiao shifted uncomfortably, shaking her head and speaking in a low voice, “It’s okay, it’s all in the past…”
For her, it truly was in the past…
Compared to the tragic death of her parents in her previous life, her grandfather had been fortunate; so whenever she remembered him, it wasn’t with the same heart-wrenching pain.
Qin Yize quietly moved away, settling himself firmly in the driver’s seat, yet a subtle emotion slowly suffused the depths of his heart.
It seemed as if their two hearts were no longer so far out of reach.
Gu Qiaoqiao lifted her head, her eyes like limpid pools brimming with ripples, and softly said, “Let’s go back.”
Qin Yize’s lips curved into a faint smile, “Okay.”
He then started the car and drove towards the West City District.
At this time, the Qin Family welcomed two uninvited guests.
They were the Old Patriarch of Imperial Capital’s Imperial Treasure Chest and Uncle Gu.
They were also old friends of the elderly master.
Today was Sunday, and both Qin Xuan and Shen Manru were off work.
Qin Xiaoyu had been sticking close to Grandma Qin, whining that her older brother and sister-in-law had gone out to have fun without her, but was scolded with laughter by her grandmother.
When they opened the front door, Qin Xuan was momentarily stunned.
He recognized the Old Patriarch.
He quickly welcomed the guests inside with enthusiasm.
Uncle Gu, having met Grandma Qin before, was very polite as he said, “Madam, our Old Patriarch is here today because he’d like Qiaoqiao to help appraise something. Is Qiaoqiao here?”
Grandma Qin’s eyes narrowed for a moment, reminded of Uncle Gu’s last visit which also had something to do with Qiaoqiao.
Qiaoqiao’s carving skills were astonishing, but that didn’t mean they were something others could covet.
The Qin Family was well-off, there was no need to have their daughter-in-law work for Yubao Square.
She became guarded and smiled, “Qiaoqiao and Ah Ze went out early this morning to play. I don’t know when they will be back.”
Gu Qingfeng spoke slowly, “No problem, I will wait here for her return. I apologize for the intrusion.”
Now that the truth was out, how could he continue to stay in the hospital, lost in wild thoughts?
Before he was sure, it was because of his own selfishness.
He knew that Gu Qiaoqiao’s grandfather had passed away.
So, instinctively, he hoped that man was not Gu Kun.
They say one won’t cry until they see the coffin, and that was the kind of person he was.
Shen Manru and Qin Xuan exchanged glances, unsure of what the Old Patriarch was plotting.
But there wasn’t much to worry about.
After all, Ah Ze and Qiaoqiao were together.
Shen Manru quickly served the two guests warm tea and fruit.
The Old Patriarch was of an age where, even in summer, he couldn’t drink cold beverages.
Gu Qingfeng elegantly picked up the teacup, gently sipping, his eyes casually sweeping over the Qin’s living room layout. Evidently, Qiaoqiao was living with her family.
That won’t do, he thought, he must gift Qiaoqiao her own apartment.
A young couple should live by themselves.
Otherwise, with the Qin’s old and young, Qiaoqiao would surely have a hard time.
He also wondered how the Qin Family treated Qiaoqiao.
