Chapter 361: Chapter 361 Gu Jiansheng Wishes His Surname Was Chang Chapter 361: Chapter 361 Gu Jiansheng Wishes His Surname Was Chang “My older sister, she’s a bit direct by nature…” Gu Jiansheng awkwardly explained.
“It’s not that she’s direct–it’s that her character is flawed. She still hasn’t realized what she did wrong, so, you really don’t need to apologize for her to me.”
Gu Jiansheng’s face turned a bit red.
Lately, things at home have been a complete mess, turning his understanding upside down.
There were also many things he didn’t know about.
And he used to live as if in a vacuum.
But the harsh reality was telling him that the peaceful and leisurely days of the past seemed to be slipping away from him, bit by bit.
Gu Jiansheng adjusted his glasses and looked at the old patriarch, beaming with joy, at his calm-faced father who showed no emotion, and at his grandmother chatting with a few acquaintances not far away.
He felt that he had never truly understood his own relatives.
And at this moment, he didn’t even know who they really were.
Despite cursing through gritted teeth at home, here they seemed as if nothing had happened.
The old patriarch’s attitude of drawing a clear line was so obvious, but did his father and grandmother not see it, or where they just not giving up?
Is it necessary to pretend to be so close?
The old patriarch’s descendants were dutiful, so what did their kindness matter to him?
He didn’t need their goodness at all, did he?
Gu Jiansheng gave Qiaoqiao an embarrassed smile and said softly, “I have something else to do, I’ll leave a bit earlier…”
Without waiting for Qiaoqiao’s response, he hurriedly turned and walked away.
Qiaoqiao glanced at Gu Jiansheng’s retreating figure, thinking that Gu Jiansheng probably wished he could have his common last name back now.
It was evident that he didn’t have much affection for the old patriarch.
Qiaoqiao smiled indifferently and continued to look for Chu Chengfeng.
This time, she found him easily.
Beside him was the most handsome man in the banquet hall.
So she spotted him at once.
Qiaoqiao paused her footsteps but still walked over.
Upon approaching, Chu Chengfeng greeted her with a smile, “Sister-in-law, leave this matter to me. I guarantee, within three days, I will have it thoroughly investigated for you.”
Qiaoqiao blinked, not needing to ask. Clearly, Qin Yize had already briefed him.
She replied with a smile, “No rush, just do it when you have time.”
“No need to pick a time for this. Gather a few people, ask around, and we’ll pretty much get the gist of it. Oh, that Zheng Xiao didn’t come today, heard he went on a business trip.”
Chu Chengfeng was very straightforward and candid.
Qiaoqiao didn’t need to ask anything more since Chu Chengfeng had already said so much.
But she trusted his capabilities, after all, they had worked together once before.
After Qin Yize and Chu Chengfeng exchanged a few words, Qin Yize took Qiaoqiao by the arm and said softly, “Let’s go, have something to eat.”
In front of Chu Chengfeng, Qiaoqiao didn’t try to pull away but obediently followed Qin Yize.
Indeed, she was a bit hungry herself.
And after a few steps, Qin Yize discreetly let go of her hand.
After all, this was a public setting.
The two of them made their way to the buffet area.
The food was replenished promptly.
There was not much difference from the beginning.
The variety of rich and delicious food made Qiaoqiao’s appetite soar.
Moreover, she was in a good mood.
So, the two of them took some plates, filled them with food they liked, and headed to the dining table.
Qiaoqiao bowed her head and started eating, not looking at Qin Yize. Both of them ate in silence.
