Chapter 293: Chapter 293: The Secret of That Year (2) Chapter 293: Chapter 293: The Secret of That Year (2) She didn’t need any evidence to know that this was Ning Wanru’s doing.
She thought that even a thousand cuts and countless mutilations would not suffice to quell the hatred in her heart.
A woman had actually stirred a bloody storm within the Gu Family.
A woman had actually harmed four generations of the Gu Family.
This woman was really terrifying!
Gu Qiaoqiao concealed the hatred in her eyes.
She patted Great Grandma’s shoulder, softly comforting her, “Great Grandma, it’s all in the past. Although Grandfather has left us, you still have a grandson, and in Stone Town, there’s also a great-granddaughter and great-grandson. Let’s go back to Border City first, take care of everything there, and then we will go to Stone Town to bring them to the Imperial Capital.”
Lady Yu extended her hand and gently stroked Gu Qiaoqiao’s hair, speaking softly, “Good child, you’ve worried Great Grandma. Don’t worry, I’ll be alright. I said you looked familiar, and it turns out, seeing you is like seeing myself when I was young…”
Gu Qiaoqiao gently hummed in agreement, softly saying, “So that’s why you said I looked familiar the first time we met…”
Lady Yu’s gaze dimmed slightly as she looked at Gu Qiaoqiao, “Qiaoqiao, I don’t want to go back to the Imperial Capital, I don’t want to see Gu Qingfeng and Ning Wanru’s family. Stone Town is good, I wish to live there and also see what kind of place Kunkun lived in…”
“Great Grandma, I understand your feelings and also understand Grandfather’s thoughts, but some things are not as simple as imagined.”
“Is that so, Qiaoqiao?”
“Yes, I know that just like Grandfather, you don’t care about the Gu Family’s riches. I also know that Grandfather didn’t want to return to the Gu Family, but the tree wishes to remain still while the wind continues to blow. We have to return; others’ belongings we do not covet, but why should we hand over what belongs to us easily?”
Lady Yu stared steadfastly at Gu Qiaoqiao, the expression on her face changing from initial resentment to gradually becoming calm.
Gu Qiaoqiao continued to speak, “Grandfather is the heir to the Gu Family; everything of the Gu Family was originally his. Some people, in their eagerness to obtain the Gu Family’s estate, did unspeakable things. Therefore, this is a battle, a battle without smoke, and the only outcome is a life and death struggle, leaving no other option…”
Gu Qiaoqiao spoke with seriousness and earnestness.
Her eyes were clouded with dark clouds; she was not Gu Kun, lacking that so-called pride.
Although she despised the wealth of the Gu Family, after learning about the tragic death of her family in her past life due to this cause, Gu Qiaoqiao could no longer remain indifferent.
She would take back everything that belonged to the Gu Family.
Even if Great Grandfather and Great Grandma were unwilling, it wouldn’t affect her in the slightest.
Her feud with Ning Wanru spanned two lifetimes, a feud that could only end with death!
Lady Yu, looking at Gu Qiaoqiao, knew in her heart that Qiaoqiao spoke sensibly.
She gazed pensively for a long while, then nodded, suddenly saying, “Qiaoqiao, although it has been fifty years, during those days when I met with mishaps, I came to know a piece of news. Before I could verify whether it was true, I had my accident…”
“The Chang Family’s annihilation, the death of Grandfather and Grandmother Gu Cheng, along with Ning Wanru’s husband, were related to Ning Wanru, and not as it appeared on the surface to be due to the Gu Family’s doing.”
Gu Qiaoqiao was startled but knew that given Ning Wanru’s cruelty, she certainly could have done such a thing.
However, fifty years had passed; where would one find evidence now?
Over these fifty years, the skies of Hua Country had changed several times.
