Chapter 252: Chapter 252: Pick On Whoever I Dislike Chapter 252: Chapter 252: Pick On Whoever I Dislike For a long while, Gu Qiaoqiao seemed to recover from her emotions, her heart having been prepared, nothing was sudden to her.
However, what puzzled her was the attitude of Old Patriarch; did he know something, or did he know nothing at all?
The old man was extremely cunning.
He wouldn’t utter a single word that he shouldn’t.
She asked Qin Yize, “Do you think this photo was taken by someone Old Patriarch sent?”
“Definitely not,” Qin Yize said nonchalantly.
“If this photo really was taken by someone from Elder Gu, they wouldn’t have waited until today to find you. Or perhaps to put it this way, what father doesn’t recognize his own son? So, the moment he saw this photo, he would have known who it was, and then he would have rushed to Stone Town…”
“You mean this photo was given to him by someone else?”
“Gu Cheng, Ning Wanru?”
“Hmm.” He nodded gently.
Qin Yize had already thoroughly associated today’s events in his head; he looked at Gu Qiaoqiao, who was frowning at his side, worry still flashing through his mind.
The situation was far more serious than he had imagined.
He reversed his thinking for a moment; now, Ning Wanru and Gu Cheng had changed strategies, thinking that it was only a matter of time before Gu Qingfeng acknowledged Gu Qiaoqiao’s family, they might as well go with the flow and facilitate this matter.
That way, they would become a family openly.
Who among outsiders would know about their resentments and grudges?
Moreover, except for the matter involving Gu Yajing, which was too blatant, what other evidence was there to prove anything?
“Qiaoqiao…” After pondering for a moment, Qin Yize slowly started, “Actually, this matter can be seen as both good and bad, it all depends on how you perceive it.”
“I…” Gu Qiaoqiao hesitated and then blurted out straightforwardly, “Make it clearer, I didn’t understand.”
Qin Yize chuckled lightly.
Such laughter gently rippled through the tense atmosphere like water, softening it.
He raised his eyebrows playfully, his voice light, “Let me ask you first, do you want to completely drive Ning Wanru’s family away from the Gu Family?”
“Hmm, pretty much,” Gu Qiaoqiao nodded.
“That’s easy. Your talent is astonishing, and the Jade Carvings you produce are unparalleled in the world. Old Patriarch would definitely cultivate you heavily, proclaiming you as the Gu Family Successor is not too far-fetched. Riding on the coat-tails of the powerful, you could learn to bully like the oppressive overlords of ancient times,” Qin Yize’s words were crisp, seemingly tinged with a hint of ruthlessness.
“Bully others?” Gu Qiaoqiao looked at Qin Yize in surprise. Were these words really spoken by the serene Qin Yize?
It was a bit thrilling.
Qin Yize shot Gu Qiaoqiao a glance, the smile at the corner of his mouth slightly devilish, “You don’t know how to bully? Just do it one by one, take care of whoever you dislike. Don’t be polite, don’t leave any face, act like the future head of the Gu Family, and I believe Ning Wanru will surely be thrown into complete disarray. She wants to discipline you, but without legitimate reason—it would be inappropriate, she doesn’t have that right, she can only suffer in silence.”
In truth, Gu Qiaoqiao had intended to make her moves in secret.
Just like with that Gold Jade Stone Carving.
“I’m not afraid; I’m just worried it might implicate my family,” she said.
Qin Yize nodded in agreement, “That’s why becoming a family could be both a good thing and a bad thing.”
“I understand now…” Gu Qiaoqiao reflected for a moment, then smiled faintly, turning her head towards Qin Yize, “Bullying others doesn’t need a title or a reason; it’s just because I don’t like the look of you…”
“Smart…” Qin Yize couldn’t hold back and patted Gu Qiaoqiao’s head, then withdrew his hand discreetly.
