But who knows what unknown secrets lie within?
Gu Qiaoqiao sat in the study, gazing at the Chinese bamboo under the light, which emitted a greenish glow, as she clenched her fingers.
At this very moment, in this room, only she knew that Ning Wanru and Lin Qinghuan were in cahoots.
And now there was no need to prove it, she already knew that her being sold off in her past life was orchestrated by Lin Qinghuan and Ning Wanru together.
Considering the timeline, they were already colluding at this point, not to mention two years from now.
One simply didn’t know if Ning Wanru could escape her fate with the sudden death of Lin Qinghuan.
Yet Gu Qiaoqiao still had a strange feeling inside.
She always felt that Lin Qinghuan couldn’t possibly die so easily.
However, Qin Yize had just come back and told her that the most authoritative medical examiner had confirmed Lin Qinghuan’s death.
Gu Qiaoqiao always felt that there was something more to it.
By now, Gu Qingfeng had made up his mind.
He looked at Qin Yize and Gu Qiaoqiao and waved his hand, saying, "Ah Ze, Qiaoqiao, it’s late, you both should also go and rest."
Gu Qiaoqiao thought for a moment and nodded her head.
Still, she couldn’t help but admonish, "Great Grandfather, don’t worry, everything will come to light eventually."
Gu Qingfeng nodded, "I know."
Shortly after, Qin Yize drove, taking Gu Qiaoqiao towards the Qin Family Old Residence.
After driving for a while, Qin Yize apologized to Gu Qiaoqiao, "I promised to take you skiing, but it never happened."
"It’s fine, we can go when you have time; it’s not too late," Gu Qiaoqiao said with a smile.
Qin Yize’s lips lifted into a half-smile, and he spoke softly, "We have a three-day holiday for New Year’s; I’ll take you out then."
Gu Qiaoqiao nodded and hummed softly in agreement.
In truth, she wasn’t all that interested in skiing.
What she liked most was staying indoors by the fire, comfortably and warmly...
And now, the Lotus Petal had only three carved flowers on it.
However, she found that the speed was indeed getting faster as she progressed.
Therefore, although the initial plan was for eighty-one weeks, it would probably take just over half a year to complete.
But then thinking about having still over half a year to go was also quite lengthy.
Soon, the car entered the main road, and then the two of them stopped talking.
After arriving at the Qin Family residence, Qin Yize drove the car in and then closed the gate.
Then, he took Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand and entered the warm, spring-like house.
At this time, at a corner of the Qin Family Old Residence,
a man dressed in a black fur coat slowly emerged from the shadows.
Beside his feet, as always, was a white cat.
After half a month’s observation, he knew that Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t spend all day at the Art Academy.
She only went there on Mondays and Tuesdays.
The other four days, she would be either at Yubao Square or the Jade Carving Workshop.
In the evening, after work, she would either go to Gu Garden or the Qin Family Old Residence.
As for Gu Qiaoqiao’s so-called husband, a PhD working at headquarters, he was very busy and rarely by her side.
The two had met only once in this half month.
Quite interesting, indeed.
Dongfang Yu huddled his body, his dark eyes looking towards the Qin Family Old Residence’s brightly lit living room.
Without a doubt, the Mysterious Dragon Box was in Gu Qiaoqiao’s hands.
During this time, he had also reviewed a considerable amount of information.
He discovered that for five hundred years, the Gu Family used many methods but failed to open the Mysterious Dragon Box.
The same was true for Gu Qingfeng’s generation.
