This ensued until they arrived at her destination, and she got out of the car.
Even though she was still somewhat mad, she could still manage to hold back a breath and say to He Niancheng… correction, Helian Niancheng, “Bye!”
It was just that her tone was heavier than usual.
Helian Niancheng didn’t reply to her, simply watching with his deep gaze as she entered Yannan University. He then retracted his gaze.
And then he drove off.
When Gu Qingjiu entered the school, she proceeded to do what she had wanted to do earlier.
If the Chief Instructor really came from a prominent family and had a rare surname, he couldn’t be an ordinary person in Penalan.
Something really did come up in her search results.
Gu Qingjiu wasn’t certain if it really had something to do with the Chief Instructor, but the information that popped up made her feel a tad dizzy.
Her hands even trembled, something she rarely did.
The Helian family was the number one aristocratic family in Penalan.
The Defense Minister in the Penalan, the man who wielded the greatest influence in military matters in the empire, was called Helian Yongshuo.
He was an elderly man over seventy.
In spite of his head full of white hair, he appeared spirited and robust.
But below, it was written on the Helian family’s genealogy table, a man in his forties or fifties, called Helian Xi.
With an elegant and refined disposition, he was the chief diplomat in Penalan.
His appearance bore a semblance to Helian Niancheng’s.
One ought to know by now that the Chief Instructor’s background wasn’t simple.
Gu Qingjiu massaged her forehead. No wonder the Chief Instructor refused to tell her his real name.
Doing so would expose his background.
The number one family in the Penalan Empire.
This title made Gu Qingjiu feel dizzy.
At the start, she tried deducing using what she knew.
But from the looks of it, the Chief Instructor’s family background was massive beyond her imaginations.
So massive that she felt it was unreachable.
She felt suppressed all of a sudden.
Before she knew it, she had arrived at her older brother’s school building.
She calmed herself down, and then she called her older brother.
Gu Qingmo was currently in the hostel, so he asked Gu Qingjiu to wait for him for a moment.
In the meanwhile, Gu Qingjiu recalled Sister Wange, who was similarly not as simple as one would expect.
Her family background seemed extraordinary, too. Now, Gu Qingjiu finally somewhat could understand her.
Because the moment such a distinction in social class was said out loud, it really would bring one a sense of despair.
To think she and her brother encountered something so similarly dramatic.
But clearly, Gu Qingmo still wasn’t aware of this yet.
Gu Qingjiu only waited for a while, before Gu Qingmo came down in a baseball T-shirt and tattered denim jeans.
He looked handsome and gave off a sunshine vibe, making for a pleasant sight.
When Gu Qingmo walked to Gu Qingjiu’s side, he saw her force a smile. With an astonished expression, he asked, “Are you in a bad mood?”
They were, after all, siblings. One look and he could tell something was off with Gu Qingjiu.
“No. Is your specialization’s gathering over?”
Gu Qingjiu, who didn’t wish to worry him, instantly resumed her usual expression and changed the topic.
“Nope. I called your Sister Wange. She will be coming over for lunch. In a few days time let’s return to Dayi City together.”
When Gu Qingjiu heard this, she detected something amiss. “Is Sister Wange going over to our city in a few days’ time?”
“Yup.”
Gu Qingmo, however, answered as though it went without saying, “Didn’t I tell you that I would bring my girlfriend back to show Mom and Dad during the summer break? In any case, Mom already found out about it, and Dad asked me about it several times. I had plans to bring her back early on.”
