Chapter 177: Chapter 177: Returning to the Qin Family Back then, Qin Yize on television was still incredibly handsome, only his aura had become sharper, as if he was like a sword out of its sheath, radiating brilliant light. Back then, he was very dazzling. And she, refused to know anything about him. But the scene that occurred today greatly agitated Gu Qiaoqiao’s heart. It left her mind in such turmoil that she couldn’t calm down. The person she had hated for so long might have been silently caring for her in an unknown corner. How was she to cope with such feelings? However, all her grievances and questions were doomed never to be voiced. Unconsciously, the jeep arrived at the entrance of the Qin Family’s large courtyard. Although they knew Qin Yize and Gu Qiaoqiao were coming back, there wasn’t a specific time, so naturally, no one was waiting at the door. Qin Yize opened the gate and drove the car in. To his surprise, Grandma Qin came toward them with a smile on her face and a lively pace. Qin Yize thought Grandma was rushing towards him, so he stood at the car door, with a faint smile on his lips, looking at Grandma Qin whose complexion was more youthful than when they had left. He was also ready to be hugged by Grandma Qin. Sёarch* The ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Unfortunately, Grandma Qin instinctively passed by him and ran towards Gu Qiaoqiao. Qin Yize gave a wry cough with a smile. He then saw Grandma hug Gu Qiaoqiao, who had just gotten out of the car, and joyfully said, “Qiaoqiao, Grandma has missed you so much… ” At that moment, Gu Qiaoqiao’s emotions were extremely complex. She looked at Grandma Qin, who revealed genuine affection, and softly said, “Grandma, I’ve missed you too…” She thought she would never come here again. She thought that, before her divorce from Qin Yize, managing to make a few phone calls to the Qin Family in Imperial Capital would have been good enough. But unexpectedly, she had stepped through the Qin Family’s gate once again. And she, in just a few short months, had traveled from the Gu Family to Border City, circling around and coming back. Today was not a weekend, so Mr. Qin, Mother Qin, and Qin Xiaoyu were not at home. Gu Qiaoqiao breathed a slight sigh of relief; after all, she still felt a bit awkward about seeing them again. After freshening up briefly, Gu Qiaoqiao came out wearing slippers. She changed into a checkered shirt and wore duck egg blue slim-fit trousers. Although she had lost some weight these past few days, her youthful and extraordinary beauty was undeniable. Grandma Qin, Qin Yize, and Luh Fei were sitting in the living room, talking. When Grandma Qin saw Gu Qiaoqiao enter, her eyes slightly narrowed with delight, praising her, “Qiaoqiao, how come you grow prettier and prettier… ” Qin Yize looked up at Gu Qiaoqiao, feeling in his heart that the little weight she had managed to gain back recently had been lost again. Gu Qiaoqiao glanced at Qin Yize, but her gaze met his deep eyes. Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly averted her gaze, sitting next to Grandma Qin. She took a quiet breath and carefully observed Grandma, feeling that the old lady looked much healthier than when she had left. It was then that Qin Yize stood up and said to Grandma Qin and Gu Qiaoqiao, “I will be back late tonight, don’t wait up for me for dinner.” Gu Qiaoqiao remained silent. Grandma Qin looked like she wanted to say something, but instead sighed softly and said, “Go on then, no one is stopping you… ” Qin Yize left briskly with Luh Fei. Soon, the sound of the jeep starting up could be heard in the courtyard. Then, it gradually faded away. Grandma Qin did not keep Gu Qiaoqiao to talk, instead she sent Gu Qiaoqiao to her room to rest. Lying on the soft big bed, Gu Qiaoqiao had no desire to sleep. The scene at the restaurant earlier kept hovering before her eyes. In her past life, was there really anything she didn’t know? Thinking about this made Gu Qiaoqiao somewhat agitated. Her father’s perilous encounter still had no resolution, and the human trafficking organization had mysteriously disappeared after the capture of that human trafficker and his son. What method should she use to find the person who had harmed her in her past life? There was also Grandma Yu and the Mysterious Dragon Box, and so many things to do, yet she was completely clueless about where to start. There was also the book her father wrote, which had been mailed over a month ago. It was sent by registered post, not standard mail, so it should have been received by now. Could it really have been suppressed? In Gu Qiaoqiao’s memory, the cultural industry truly blossomed, but it wasn’t the year 1986. Her dad’s book was supposed to be one of those that stood out from the rest. It seemed inevitable to give Luo Fan a call. There was no choice; in this era, it was still easier to get things done with acquaintances. Gu Qiaoqiao turned in bed but still felt no desire to sleep. Last night, she stayed at a well-equipped farmhouse in the suburbs, so Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t feel tired. She simply sat up and went to the living room. At this time, Grandma Qin should have gone to buy vegetables. There were two markets nearby, but it was unclear which one she went to. Feeling bored, Gu Qiaoqiao leisurely walked out of the house and played around with Da Hei and Mao Mao for a while before she stood up. As if instinctively, Gu Qiaoqiao glanced towards the neighboring Bai Family’s yard. The walls between the two houses were very high, preventing a view of the other side. Gu Qiaoqiao’s gaze shifted, and she walked towards the gate. As expected, she saw a girl standing not far from the gate. She was wearing a white dress, her black hair billowing in the wind. It was Bai Yun. Gu Qiaoqiao’s gaze darkened slightly, but she didn’t speak. Instead, she leaned lazily against the Qin family’s gate, looking at Bai Yun with a half-smile. Now that they were already enemies, there was no need to pretend everything was fine. Before she was drugged and taken away in her past life, Bai Yun also knew the place she was going to. Bai Yun might have been innocent, but she might also have been one of the participants. At that moment, the air seemed to freeze at the Qin family’s doorway, and Bai Yun didn’t move. Since the incident, she had never visited the Qin family again. When she ran into Shen Manru, who doted on her the most, it was an awkwardly perfunctory smile, giving her face. She never understood how the Silent Night Cicada ended up in her pocket. Her pants were tight-fitting, and if something was being stuffed into the pocket, she would definitely notice. At that time, Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t appear to be very close to her. Could it really have been her who went to Duobao Pavilion to retrieve it after Gu Qiaoqiao left? But why didn’t she remember anything about it? Bai Yun once thought she might have schizophrenia. However, the extremely strong-minded Bai Yun quickly dismissed that assumption. She felt that she wouldn’t forget something as significant as taking an item. But now, that detail was no longer important. What mattered was that her relationship with Gu Qiaoqiao might never be mended. Therefore, there was no need to go against her wishes and speak to her. Bai Yun’s lips slowly curved into a cold smile, her eyes glaring ominously at Gu Qiaoqiao. Just now, she had heard the sound of a car and people talking in the Qin family’s yard. She knew Qin Yize must have returned.
