Chapter 211: Chapter 211 Tell the Truth to Father Chapter 211: Chapter 211 Tell the Truth to Father Gu Qiaoqiao chimed in, “Sure, I’ll make something delicious for you tonight.” After saying that, Gu Qiaoqiao indeed started to check the kitchen. It wasn’t bad; there were fish, meat, and even shrimp. Gu Qiaoqiao began to wash the vegetables. Grandma Qin came into the kitchen and said to Gu Qiaoqiao, “Let Grandma pick the vegetables. You go to the living room, Chengfeng says he has something to ask you.” Gu Qiaoqiao nodded, washed her hands, and went to the living room. Sure enough, the information he had asked her to find was all gathered. And quite quickly too. But actually, it was not that hard to investigate, since everyone came from the same circle, and the basic information was common knowledge. Plus, with professional help, it had only taken two days to get a clear picture. Gu Qiaoqiao looked at the information in her hands. She forcefully suppressed the turmoil in her heart. What stirred such emotion in her was not the confirmation that Gu Yajing was indeed Gu Cheng’s eldest daughter, but rather that the new general manager of Lan Cheng Fashion Trading Company in Qingshui County was actually Gu Cheng’s eldest son. It was said to be an exercise stint at Ning Wanru’s branch company. Ning Wanru’s company had many branches, all over the country, but why did it happen to be Qingshui County? If this was supposed to be a coincidence, probably not even a ghost would believe it. Chu Chengfeng glanced at Gu Qiaoqiao and, wisely, did not ask why she needed this family’s information. However, Qin Yize had specifically cautioned that as long as Gu Qiaoqiao asked, he should help if it was within his power, and not ask for reasons if not. “Sis-in-law, if there’s anything else I can help with, just say the word,” Chu Chengfeng offered generously. Gu Qiaoqiao put away the information and said with a smile, “Nothing else for now, it’s all good, thank you.” “What’s there to thank me for? It’s just a small matter,” Chu Chengfeng replied nonchalantly, waving his hand before he seemed to remember something, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke up, “Sis-in-law, there’s something I want to tell you.” “What is it? Go ahead,” Gu Qiaoqiao said to Chu Chengfeng in a clear voice. “Remember how you beat Zhao Xiaoming last time? That guy can’t accept it and has found an archery expert, declaring that he wants to challenge you again.” Another challenge? Not interested. Besides, if he wants to compete, let him. She didn’t have the spare time to amuse him. “I won’t go,” Gu Qiaoqiao declined directly. Chu Chengfeng was not surprised, but he continued, “He’s been spouting off to no avail. If he gets too annoying, a good thrashing will set him straight.” Gu Qiaoqiao chuckled. That was very much their style. Ready to throw punches at a moment’s disagreement. “Those who can’t accept loss are no fun; I can’t be bothered with him,” said Gu Qiaoqiao. “He’s always been like that. We can’t stand him, but I heard that the person he’s brought in this time is an ace from some club abroad and seems to have some connection to the Gu Family you were investigating.” “Connected?” Gu Qiaoqiao was taken aback, “What kind of connection?” “Apparently, that person is Gu Cheng’s illegitimate daughter, raised abroad and pretty good at playing the field.” Gu Cheng’s illegitimate daughter? Know Zhao Xiaoming? Gu Qiaoqiao was startled, her brows slightly furrowed as she said to Chu Chengfeng, “Is that person really that impressive?” Chu Chengfeng nodded, “I’ve looked at her report card, and she truly is remarkable, a standout in the archery circle—she earns a substantial prize money every year.” “Sounds good.” Chengfeng’s interest was suddenly piqued, and he said to Gu Qiaoqiao, “I heard she’s a legend in the archery circle. How about it? Shall we join forces to shatter that legend?” Gu Qiaoqiao smiled slightly, “I’ll see how things go.” seaʀᴄh thё NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. “That works,” Chengfeng nodded enthusiastically, “Sis-in-law, whenever you change your mind, let me know, and I’ll be your agent.” Gu Qiaoqiao laughed, telling Chu Chengfeng to watch TV by himself while she took the materials to the study room. She dialed her family’s phone, and the one to answer was Gu Tianfeng. Before Gu Qiaoqiao could even speak, Tianfeng’s excited voice came through the receiver, “Qiaoqiao, my manuscript got accepted! The editor-in-chief himself called me, said it doesn’t need any edits and will start serialization next month. He asked me to keep writing too. Oh, and the manuscript fee will be mailed to me tomorrow…” The excitement in his voice couldn’t conceal his joy. Though Gu Qiaoqiao had known it beforehand, she was still delighted, “Dad, congratulations, you’re the best.” “Qiaoqiao, once the manuscript fee arrives, Dad will buy you new clothes to wear,” Gu Tianfeng promised, cajoling her like one would a child. “You’re the best, Dad.” Gu Qiaoqiao cooed involuntarily. “Qiaoqiao, how have you been recently?” “Everything’s been pretty good.” Gu Qiaoqiao saw that Tianfeng seemed a bit more composed and said softly, “Dad, I have something to tell you, but you must stay calm.” “What happened, is there an issue over there?” Tianfeng couldn’t help but ask with concern. Gu Qiaoqiao quickly reassured him, “Dad, no, it’s about Grandpa.” She then shared her discoveries with Gu Tianfeng. And she laid out the situation of Gu Cheng’s family in complete detail. Inwardly, Gu Qiaoqiao was still frightened. Her original intention was to wait until everything settled down, or at least after confirming Grandma Yu’s identity, before telling her family. But when she found out that Gu Cheng’s eldest son, Gu Jianhua, was the general manager in a company in Qingshui County, she knew it was imperative to inform her dad. The accident that befallen Dad definitely had Gu Jianhua’s hand in it; otherwise, how could those two have effortlessly bombed the car and escaped? And Sun Chuxia’s decision to turn herself in was certainly orchestrated by him. A person who could hold such a position must possess some personal abilities, not just the support of the family. All her relatives were there, and compared to the Imperial Capital, Stone Town was much safer. At the very least, they had Zhou Xing to rely on. So she didn’t inform her father immediately, but now she couldn’t keep it to herself anymore. Having been informed, her father would know how to take precautions. Because she also shared her conjectures with Tianfeng. After a moment of silence on the phone, Tianfeng said in a heavy tone, “Qiaoqiao, I understand. It’s surprising, but also expected.” “Dad, did you already know?” “Not exactly, but I had suspected your grandfather wasn’t just from an ordinary farming background. However, it was his taboo. I couldn’t ask, so I dropped it. Later on, it didn’t matter to me anymore.” “What are you thinking, Dad?” Gu Qiaoqiao asked softly. “Qiaoqiao, your analysis is spot on. For now, we should hold our forces. That Old Patriarch is also in grave danger. It’s definitely not wise to rashly go to the capital now. Moreover, all of this is based on your speculation. We don’t know what the Old Patriarch is really thinking. We shouldn’t turn this into a farce and make it impossible to face others.” Gu Qiaoqiao nodded, “I think the same. Dad, you must be cautious in everything and be extra vigilant in times of trouble.”
