Hearing Uncle Gu ask him that, a wave of warmth rose in his heart.
"I’m fine." He picked up the teacup and drank all the tea in one go.
The tea provided a slight warm moistness to his stomach, which had been hungry all day.
He set the teacup down, looked at Gu Qingfeng with his body upright, and asked in a deep voice, "Great Grandfather, I just want to know, why did Qiaoqiao divorce me?"
At this moment, Gu Qingfeng really felt troubled.
But even if it was difficult, there was no other way.
Since matters had come to this point, he had to grit his teeth and go through with it.
He said softly, "The reason for your divorce, hasn’t Qiaoqiao already told you?"
"Great Grandfather, you know that can’t be the whole truth. I want to know what bitter circumstances are you keeping from me? Has someone threatened you?"
Qin Yize’s tone became serious.
Gu Qingfeng raised his eyes to look at Qin Yize, restrained himself, and then spoke, "Ah Ze, why would you say that?"
Qin Yize’s gaze softened...
"Great Grandfather, you must know in your heart, this incident is too much of a coincidence. Although Qiaoqiao is young, she is definitely a good girl with deep feelings and loyalty. She wouldn’t kick someone when they’re down..."
Listening to Qin Yize’s earnest and slightly choked words, Gu Qingfeng also felt his eyes moisten.
Fate was playing tricks on them. He didn’t know what it was about the Gu Family that made thieves so persistent.
If he had known that this would happen, would it have been better to disperse the family wealth from the beginning?
Gu Qingfeng’s thoughts were complex in his eyes, yet he forcibly suppressed them.
He sighed deeply and said, "Ah Ze, your marriage to Qiaoqiao was forced from the start, and Qiaoqiao is young and uncertain of heart. It is normal for things in this world to come together and fall apart. Don’t take it too much to heart. It’s best if you don’t go looking for her anymore."
Gu Qingfeng said these words with a heavy heart.
He didn’t dare look into Qin Yize’s eyes.
Seeing the evasive and guilty look of Old Patriarch Gu, Qin Yize fell silent.
It seemed Gu Qingfeng wouldn’t tell him the reason.
Qin Yize didn’t plan to press on the matter either. He would investigate it himself.
Whether Gu Qiaoqiao really had a change of heart, or if someone had coerced her.
Internally, he leaned toward the latter.
Somebody had coerced her.
Otherwise, all of this was just too coincidental.
But who could be coercing Qiaoqiao?
Ning Wanru was no longer a concern, and Gu Cheng had suffered a stroke, paralyzed in bed.
Gu Jianhua was missing.
Only Gu Jiansheng and Gu Jiangang were not yet a threat.
The Ning Family, as it was, had already collapsed.
And there was one thing worth mentioning—Jiangang had accidentally broken an antique vase in an old man’s arms a few days ago.
He compensated the old man with seven hundred thousand yuan.
As far as he knew, Jiangang’s mother had to sell off all of Ning Wanru’s gemstones to scrape together that money.
The old man was from a well-known GH mega-rich family.
No one knew why Jiangang had run into that old man.
What everyone knew was that the Ning Family now had three sick members. Ning Wanru, who had become invalid and unable to speak, was thrown in front of Gu Cheng’s house door by someone.
And then there were two more in the hospital.
The expenses for the three people had completely drained Ning Wanru and Gu Cheng.
However, it was said that Li Fen was rather aggressive as she approached Gu Cheng’s young wife.
She gave her two options.
The first option was to hand Gu Cheng over to her for care.
