So, from then on, were the members of the Gu Family safe?
Gu Qiaoqiao thought about these things with malice.
She knew in her mind that nothing was impossible.
When there really was no other way, she wouldn’t mind destroying everything the Gu Family owned.
At that time, she would take her family and leave the Imperial Capital far behind to live a quiet life.
Throughout the journey, Gu Qiaoqiao’s expression was calm as she pondered her own thoughts.
Gu Qingfeng also knew that Qiaoqiao must be feeling terrible at this moment.
The breakup with Qin Yize was a huge blow because of such reasons.
Gu Qingfeng hated his own helplessness.
He couldn’t protect his great-granddaughter’s lifelong happiness at this critical moment.
Gu Qingfeng also remained silent throughout.
After all, he had experienced many long years.
He also knew that there was a saying in this world: "Baffled by a twisty mountain road, you find a village where blooms and willows thrive."
Who knew what the future would hold?
Upon arriving at Gu Garden, they were greeted by Lian Yuhong’s frantic, almost sobbing reproach.
How could her daughter do this?
In such difficult times for the Qin Family, was her daughter actually proposing divorce from Qin Yize?
This wasn’t her daughter.
Her daughter wouldn’t be so heartless and ungrateful as to kick someone when they were down.
Something must have happened.
She grabbed Gu Qiaoqiao and asked anxiously, "Qiaoqiao, tell Mom, you are joking, right?"
Gu Tianfeng was pacing back and forth, restless and uneasy.
He did not yank Gu Qiaoqiao over like Lian Yuhong did, but he was equally anxious.
Gu Qiaoqiao felt very tired at this moment.
Moreover, there was still a tough battle to fight ahead.
That was the matter with Dongfang Yu.
She couldn’t discuss it with her parents just yet.
Because even if they knew, what good would it do? It wouldn’t solve any problems, only add to their worries.
Gu Qiaoqiao frowned impatiently, "This is my own business, don’t interfere."
With that, she pushed away Lian Yuhong’s hand and strode toward her sculpture studio.
Then, with a bang, she shut the door of the room.
Now, seventy-two blooms had been carved from the Red Spirit Jade Marrow; only nine more and the work would be complete.
At that point, the Mysterious Dragon Box could be opened.
At this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao was filled with great hope, wishing that the Mysterious Dragon Box could help her escape the current predicament.
Somehow, within three days and by some means, Gu Qingfeng had managed to process the divorce.
Because of their special circumstances, they didn’t go to the civil affairs office.
Instead, relationships were used, and the divorce certificate was directly issued.
Gu Qiaoqiao held the divorce certificate, her gaze dark.
No one knew what she was thinking.
Afterwards, she turned and headed back to the sculpture studio.
In recent days, Gu Qiaoqiao hadn’t gone anywhere; she was constantly carving the Red Spirit Jade Marrow.
Moreover, recently, Gu Qiaoqiao had lost a considerable amount of weight.
It made her eyes look even larger.
This only added to the heartache of Gu Qingfeng, who was in the know.
Nevertheless, even so, Gu Qingfeng was unable to help in any way.
Currently, there were two difficult issues in front of them.
One was the imminent crisis approaching the Gu Family.
If in the end, everything was to go up in flames as Qiaoqiao had said, would those coveting the Gu Family’s wealth give up if they obtained nothing?
However, with his years of experience, Gu Qingfeng knew that by that point, the assetless members of the Gu Family would be like fish on a chopping board.
Right now they had tangible assets, money in hand, and connections; they could accomplish whatever they needed to.
