Soon, Qin Yize’s jeep pulled up in front of the entrance to Gu Garden.
He sat in the car for a moment and then, opening the door, got out and stood at the entrance of Gu Garden, pressing the doorbell without hesitation.
The door was opened by Grandpa Li.
Upon seeing Qin Yize, he first smiled in surprise, but then quickly composed himself, his face tightening as he said, "Oh, it’s Mr. Qin. What brings you here?"
Qin Yize didn’t miss the expression on Grandpa Li’s face.
But he also didn’t have time to ponder it.
He simply said, "I would like to see Gu Qiaoqiao. Is she here?"
Grandpa Li hesitated for a moment, looking at Qin Yize’s pleading eyes, he nodded, "She is."
"Grandpa Li, could you please tell her I would like to see her and speak with her for a few moments?" Qin Yize asked earnestly.
"Alright, you wait here then."
Gu Qiaoqiao had told him that if Qin Yize came, not to let him in.
The Young Master’s words, he had to obey.
Qin Yize’s hand, hanging by his side, clenched. Were they even refusing him entry now?
It must have been instructed by either Gu Qingfeng or Gu Qiaoqiao.
Otherwise, Grandpa Li would not refuse him entry.
Qin Yize did not make it difficult for Grandpa Li. He nodded, took a few steps back, and said to him, "Thank you, Grandpa Li."
Grandpa Li felt very guilty.
It was the first time he had turned Qin Yize away from the door.
And it was not easy for him either.
After all, over all this time, Qin Yize had become familiar with them.
And he liked Ah Ze, as he was a good kid.
But now that the two families were enemies, they wouldn’t even let him through the door.
So, for Grandpa Li, it really was torture.
Grandpa Li sighed helplessly.
He looked at Qin Yize sympathetically, did not close the door, and hurried into the main hall of the main courtyard.
At this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao was still in the carving room.
Lian Yuhong sat angrily on the sofa, unsure of what to do.
At this time, Gu Qingfeng had gone to Yubao Square.
Because Gu Qiaoqiao hadn’t gone there in these days.
She just stayed in the carving room, carving her lotus flower.
Gu Qingfeng did not stop her, perhaps, the hope of the Gu Family lay in the Mysterious Dragon Box.
Grandpa Li reached the door of the carving room, knocked, and Gu Qiaoqiao’s hoarse voice came from inside, "Come in."
Grandpa Li startled, wondering about her hoarse voice.
Perhaps it was due to an internal heat buildup.
He pushed the door open and stood at the entrance, whispering, "Young Master, Qin Yize is at the front gate, saying he needs to speak with you."
Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand, holding the carving knife, paused.
If her left hand hadn’t moved away quickly, the knife would have carved into her fingertip.
She had never expected leaving Qin Yize to be so heart-wrenching.
It was as if a part of her heart had been hollowed out.
Indeed, it shouldn’t have been this way.
Gu Qiaoqiao was tormented by such emotions every day.
Thus, she used all her energy, gathering her Spiritual Energy to carve the lotus petals...
...in order to divert her attention.
Perhaps because of her strong will, or maybe because her fingers had grown slightly stronger, the Red Spirit Jade Marrow complemented much more than before.
At least, now she could carve for five hours a day.
At this pace, within a week, she would finish carving the Red Spirit Jade Marrow.
Gu Qiaoqiao paused for a moment, setting down the Red Spirit Jade Marrow and the carving knife.
After thinking it over, there were some things she needed to clarify with Qin Yize.
