Chapter 292: Chapter 292: The Secret of That Year (1) Chapter 292: Chapter 292: The Secret of That Year (1) “Yes, I am.” Gu Qiaoqiao nodded vigorously and softly whispered, “Great Grandma…”
Her Great Grandma, both in her past and present life, had undergone such suffering.
In her best years, she had lost her memory, and by the time they met, her hair was already white.
The two most important people in her life, one was forever lost to her and the other hated her to the bones.
Tears streamed down Gu Qiaoqiao’s face.
Lady Yu, with her rough hands, gently wiped the tears from Gu Qiaoqiao’s face and hoarsely said, “Good child, good child…”
Gu Qiaoqiao helped Lady Yu up. At that moment, a doctor dressed in a white coat and carrying a medical kit sprinted towards them.
Close behind was Qin Yize, walking briskly.
After a careful examination of the elderly woman, the doctor removed his stethoscope, smiling as he said, “The lady was just startled, but it’s nothing serious. Just make sure she gets plenty of rest…”
The anxious heart of Gu Qingfeng, which had been hanging in his throat, finally began to settle.
If, upon knowing of Gu Qiaoqiao’s existence, he had only felt guilty, then, upon learning about the fifty years Lady Yu lived without memories and in displacement, Gu Qingfeng felt like strangling himself.
He hated only himself.
If he had believed Lady Yu a bit, they wouldn’t be in this situation today.
When his eyes met Lady Yu’s eyes full of hatred again, his heart sank.
His visage turned ashen.
He murmured to himself, “I deserve to die, but I cannot just die. Lady Yu, I need to find the person who harmed you, if they are alive, I will make their life a living hell, and if they are dead, I will dig up their grave and whip their corpse!”
This wrong, he definitely intended to right it before he died.
However, his heart couldn’t help but feel trepidation. Who could this person be?
By causing his wife and children to leave him, what benefit did he get?
Thinking about how over the years, the ones who had indeed benefited were only him and his mother, there were no other suspects.
However, these actions couldn’t have been done alone by Ning Wanru.
At that time, Gu Cheng was only four years old.
And Ning Wanru was just in her early twenties.
Who helped them achieve this?
To have silently discarded a person at Mass Burial Mound in the Suburbs of the Capital.
A dark storm brewed in Gu Qingfeng’s eyes, as if to devour all evil spirits.
But when it came time to take action, he realized he didn’t even know who the opponent was…
Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t delay any further. After glancing at Gu Qingfeng and seeing he was alright, she helped Grandma Yu walk towards the exit of the station.
It must be said, there were significant benefits to being with Qin Yize.
He always managed to arrange everything quietly amidst chaotic situations.
Gu Qiaoqiao was truly grateful to him.
By this time, the sun had completely set.
But the sky was still pale.
However, even so, it was not suitable for the two elderly people to travel at night.
This was a small forest station without any inns or hostels.
With the help of the station staff, Qin Yize found a family home where the two elders and Uncle Gu were settled down.
After all was busy, Gu Qiaoqiao was pulled aside by Lady Yu for a conversation.
After a while, Gu Qiaoqiao finally learned the true nature of her Great Grandma’s alleged elopement.
She embraced her Great Grandma, hate and boundless fury flooding her eyes.
These tactics were so similar to the ones that harmed her in her previous life.
Each step cunningly orchestrated, culminating in a perfect, bloodless victory against those considered thorns in their sides.
Great Grandma hated Gu Qingfeng, and she understood why.
If it weren’t for him inviting wolves into their home, how could it have led to such disastrous outcomes–his wife and children dispersed, his family destroyed, and lives lost?
