This caused Grandma Qin both heartache and pain.
Even though so much had happened.
But for Grandma Qin to completely hate Gu Qiaoqiao,
for some reason, she just couldn’t bring herself to do it.
Yet the things Gu Qiaoqiao had done forced Grandma Qin to hate her against her will.
This kind of torment felt like torture to Old Lady Qin.
She also didn’t know how everything had led to this day.
Before all this, everything had been so good, so perfect.
Could it really be as the old saying goes, that life can’t be perfect in every way?
Is the saying "a full moon will wane" really the truth?
Grandma Qin couldn’t understand it all.
To tell the truth, ever since Gu Qiaoqiao left the Qin Family,
at first she was angry, but these last few days she found herself missing the child more and more.
Gu Qiaoqiao was not just her granddaughter-in-law.
In Grandma Qin’s heart, she loved Gu Qiaoqiao as if she were her own granddaughter.
But Gu Qiaoqiao had already left the Qin Family without looking back.
Even if she missed Qiaoqiao terribly, what use was it?
And at this very moment, Qin Yize stood in front of the window.
Looking out ahead of him.
There stood a begonia tree, void of a single leaf.
The lonely branches swayed in the cold wind.
The weather was also very gloomy, as if a snowstorm was imminent.
Qin Yize stubbed out the cigarette in his hand.
He had returned home holding onto a thread of hope, only to find that Gu Qiaoqiao had moved all her things back.
That last thread of hope had now been shattered.
At the same time, his heart was filled with doubts.
He couldn’t believe that Gu Qiaoqiao was such a heartless and ungrateful person.
She must have had her difficulties.
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that they divorced just when the Qin Family had lost all hope, only for them to go from Hell back to the Mortal World within three days after the divorce?
Was it a coincidence, or was someone deliberately orchestrating it?
He was determined to find Gu Qiaoqiao and ask her for an explanation.
Qin Yize put on his coat and strode toward the door.
As he passed by the living room, Shen Manru was holding a bowl of soup and called out, "Ah Ze, where are you going?"
Her son had become so thin that it broke her heart.
These past days, she made soup every day to nourish Qin Yize.
Qin Yize stopped, turned his head to look, and said dispassionately, "You guys eat first, I’ll be out for a bit."
After saying that, he left the living room without hesitation, striding out.
Shen Manru stood with wide eyes, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.
Grandma Qin sighed...
Shen Manru said resentfully, "Is he going to look for Gu Qiaoqiao?"
Qin Xuan frowned, looked at his wife, and said slowly, "There’s something about this situation that doesn’t feel right to me."
"What’s not right?" Shen Manru said through gritted teeth, "What else could it be? She must have seen our Qin Family downfall and thought it would affect her, so she quickly divorced our son. Unexpectedly, Ah Ze is now completely unharmed. She must be regretting it now..."
Qin Xuan shook his head, "Gu Qiaoqiao isn’t regretting it, otherwise, she would have shown up as soon as Ah Ze got out. And besides, it’s too much of a coincidence, isn’t it? How come just after the divorce, all our problems were suddenly gone?"
Shen Manru gradually calmed down.
She sat by the dining table without saying a word.
Grandma Qin also looked pensively in the direction of the door.
Her mood, however, was as heavy as ever.
At this time, Qin Yize had already left the Qin Family Old Residence in his car.
He was driving on the road.
The weather was growing more and more ominous.
Winds from all directions whipped up the snow on the ground.
Pedestrians on the road all covered their faces with scarves.
