Chapter 157: Chapter 156: Won’t See You Again
“Forget it, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have that kind of family members, you still have us!” Song Qiuqiu comforted.
Su Xiaotang also spoke up, “Right, we are all your family!”
Seeing the way Song Qiuqiu and Su Xiaotang stood up for her, Qi Yue felt the warmth flow back into her icy blood, “Thank you…”
Song Qiuqiu and Su Xiaotang hugged her, “What’s there to thank among family!”
Song Qiuqiu still felt infuriated, “Ugh, I’m speechless, was it necessary to react like that just over a few words? If it wasn’t for the genius, our Yue Bao wouldn’t even bother with him! So what if he makes a million a year, Yue Bao hasn’t even graduated yet, and all the offers she’s getting are already over a million! Who needs him…”
Su Xiaotang muttered, “Speaking of which, the genius seems to have been absent for a long time now…”
...
“Exactly! But isn’t it normal for him not to show up? Before, it was strange how he’d appear every other day!” Song Qiuqiu spoke up.
Su Xiaotang nodded vigorously in agreement, “That’s true… It’s not like a deity descends to earth every day!”
Mentioning Gu Huai, Qi Yue’s expression showed a moment of surprise, reminded of what Chen Jing had said today.
Gu Huai had already signed with the NT Research Institute, and after she graduated, she was definitely leaving City A…
By then, they probably wouldn’t see each other again…
…
The next day, at the sports center.
The athletic competition began in full swing.
Qi Yue went to get ready for her event, while Song Qiuqiu and Su Xiaotang were handling some logistic tasks.
Soon it was the afternoon, and it was almost time for Qi Yue’s event.
Song Qiuqiu hurried toward the field where Qi Yue would compete.
Halfway there, a couple stopped her to ask for directions.
“Excuse me, student, how do we get to the shooting hall?” a middle-aged man asked.
“The shooting hall, uncle, you go straight ahead, turn right for three hundred meters, and then…” Song Qiuqiu was hastily giving directions when she recognized the person asking and was taken aback, “You… You’re… Qi Yue’s father…?”
The man also paused, “Student, how do you know? You are…”
That’s when Yu Shuhua, standing beside him, seemed to recognize Song Qiuqiu, “Oh dear, you are Song… what’s it again? Weren’t you Zhenzhen’s high school classmate?”
Song Qiuqiu’s complexion changed upon hearing this, and she said, “No, I am Song Qiuqiu, I am Qi Yue’s classmate.”
Yu Shuhua then said with a bit of amusement, “Zhenzhen and Yueyue were at the same high school, no? If you’re Yueyue’s classmate, doesn’t that make you Zhenzhen’s classmate too?”
Even though she was closest to Qi Yue, the mother’s first reaction wasn’t to recognize her as Yue Bao’s classmate but rather as Qi Zhen’s classmate…
Song Qiuqiu felt so frustrated in her heart, but given the man and woman were her elders, she held back and didn’t say much.
“What a coincidence, student, are you here to watch the competition too?” Yu Shuhua asked.
“Auntie, I’m helping with the logistics for our school.” Song Qiuqiu glanced at the couple, not wanting to talk too much, but she couldn’t help herself and still asked, “Uncle, Auntie, are you here to watch Qi Zhen’s competition?”
Yu Shuhua immediately beamed with pride, smiling, “Yes! Zhenzhen has a shooting competition today, we rushed here from out of town just for this!”
Song Qiuqiu smiled, “Uncle and Auntie are really good to Qi Zhen, coming from so far away just for her… Ah, an only daughter is always treasured…”
At Song Qiuqiu’s words, Yu Shuhua and Qi Wanli both paused.
Yu Shuhua explained, “Zhenzhen’s not an only daughter, we have another daughter too, that’s Qi Yue, don’t you also know her?”
Song Qiuqiu feigned surprise, “Ah? Really? No way! Qi Yue is also your daughter, your biological one?”
