Chapter 33: Chapter 32: I Just Want the Result The Luo Family had once produced three top scholars. Some descendants became prime ministers, while others commanded armies and fought battles far and wide. It was a family with an extremely rich heritage. Even in the hands of Luo Zhenyu, this remained the case. Before the establishment of the New Nation, he had taken his family’s young members to deliver medicine and food to the soldiers fighting at the front lines, and donated nearly half of his family’s wealth in money and goods. Atop the city tower in the Imperial Capital, he had participated in the founding ceremony with the nation’s founding fathers. She knew no more than that. However, from what she had just heard between him and Luo Fan, it was clear that the Luo family had businesses both domestically and internationally. They say that leaves fall back to their roots. The old man wanted to return home, which is why he had come back to visit. But he hadn’t expected that, when he visited the alley where he once lived alone, an accident would occur. Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t help but sigh. In this world, every drink and peck is predestined! Looking at it now, this saying indeed seems to hold some truth. The bus slowly came to a stop. Qin Yize stood up and turned to look at Gu Qiaoqiao, who was still lost in thought, and gently reminded her, “We’re here.” He never knew what Gu Qiaoqiao was thinking about all day. Only then did Gu Qiaoqiao come to her senses and followed Qin Yize off the bus. The chilly air hit her face, but it cleared her mind considerably. The tangled entanglements of her past and present lives kept her silent as she walked towards the Qin family’s place. Qin Yize frowned noncommittally. He strode forward, keeping pace beside Gu Qiaoqiao. They reached home without another word. Shen Manru had prepared the meal and asked about the situation at the hospital, but Qin Yize didn’t tell her whom he had saved. Naturally, Gu Qiaoqiao wouldn’t say much either. After lunch and cleaning up the kitchen, Gu Qiaoqiao returned to her room. Yet she hadn’t noticed Qin Yize, who had seemingly left the house again. seaʀᴄh thё Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. She cast a fleeting glance at Qin Yize and walked towards the balcony. She didn’t expect Qin Yize to call out to her, “Gu Qiaoqiao…” Gu Qiaoqiao halted her steps, then turned around and quietly looked at Qin Yize. “Why haven’t you touched the salary I gave you?” Qin Yize asked in a deep voice. Salary? Gu Qiaoqiao frowned, unable to recall anything about a salary. “I remember giving it to you as soon as we got home, why did you leave it all in the drawer?” Qin Yize asked nonchalantly. Gu Qiaoqiao looked toward the study, feeling her memory should be intact, wondering how she could forget. Seeing her still looking puzzled, Qin Yize went to the study, opened the drawer, and placed a stack of money on the coffee table, “The Border City Experimental Base is quite remote, and many things are inconvenient to buy. The malls open tomorrow, and if you have time, you can go buy some daily necessities you need.” His voice was very calm and indifferent, completely unaffected by Gu Qiaoqiao’s cold expression. Gu Qiaoqiao looked at the stack of money and rejected it without thinking, “There’s no need to buy anything, I’m not going to Border City with you.” Qin Yize’s brows moved slightly, but he didn’t dwell on the issue. Instead, he said to Gu Qiaoqiao, “I have to go out for a bit.” Gu Qiaoqiao raised her eyebrows in surprise and found it amusing, so she smirked sarcastically and turned her head away. She didn’t want to see him; the longer she stayed with him, the more suffocated she felt. Yet, she hadn’t anticipated that the first barrier to proposing a divorce would be Qin Yize’s disapproval. If he didn’t agree, it would be very troublesome. Qin Yize saw Gu Qiaoqiao turn her head away, but he truly didn’t understand what her action meant. Was it because she was upset that he was going out, or because she was upset that he wasn’t taking her with him? He fastened the buttons of his coat, feeling it necessary to explain where he was going, and also to remind Gu Qiaoqiao. “I’m going to a KTV to meet Brother Hao. These few days—” Qin Yize paused here before continuing, “these few days don’t get in touch with Bai Yun until I investigate what happened last night clearly.” Gu Qiaoqiao suddenly turned her head around. She stared hard at Qin Yize, and at that moment, it seemed as if all her blood was rushing to her head, “Why are you meeting Brother Hao, why shouldn’t I contact Bai Yun, and what are you investigating?” Qin Yize’s hand, which was on the door, slowly lowered. After thinking, he took two steps closer to Gu Qiaoqiao and said, looking down, “Gu Qiaoqiao, do you know something?” “I’m asking you, what are you investigating?” Gu Qiaoqiao suddenly raised her voice. Qin Yize frowned, but still spoke with patience. “Chengfeng told me roughly, Xiao Yu also said that when you and Bai Yun, Ning Yuli went out, you were looking for me in the private room, claiming the person there was me. But that person was Zhu Jianguo, Bai Yun’s cousin, who grew up with her. How confused does one have to be to mistake her own cousin for me, and Zhu Jianguo said Bai Yun had a glass of brandy in the private room. Xiao Yu said that when Bai Yun was sitting next to her, there were no signs of being drunk…” “Then what do you want to investigate?” Gu Qiaoqiao asked hoarsely. “Bai Yun’s hysterical state is suspicious. Acting drunk to the point of undressing seems excessive, so, if it wasn’t the brandy, then it must have been something wrong with the orange juice she drank.” Gu Qiaoqiao stared blankly at Qin Yize, her mind buzzing as if something was echoing. But Qin Yize thought that Gu Qiaoqiao was scared. He softened his voice, but his eyes were somewhat cold, “Gu Qiaoqiao, the human heart is the most unpredictable. We don’t harm others, but basic self-protection is still necessary.” Gu Qiaoqiao’s hands slowly clenched together, and the hatred in her heart spread like wild grass rapidly growing across a prairie, instantly filling her heart. If Qin Yize in her past life had been so sharp in detecting her odd behavior, would the following days have had fewer tragedies? If he had been this patient in reminding her, would her life have been less difficult? It’s a pity, in this life, she didn’t need it anymore. Gu Qiaoqiao coldly looked at Qin Yize, the hatred in her eyes impossible to hide. She suddenly spoke sarcastically, “Qin Yize, it turns out your eyes aren’t blind after all.” Qin Yize’s brows tightened, his gaze becoming sharp as he set aside his gentle demeanor. He wasn’t angry, but asked Gu Qiaoqiao lightly, “What exactly do you know about last night’s incident?” The atmosphere in the room was somewhat oppressive, as if the air had cooled several degrees. “It was my first time at KTV, what do you think I would know?” Gu Qiaoqiao asked back with a cold laugh. “Gu Qiaoqiao, don’t you want to know the truth?” Qin Yize took a deep breath and asked softly. “No!” “Why not?” “I only want the outcome; the reasons and the truth are no longer important to me,” Gu Qiaoqiao spoke somberly. “So the outcome you want is to make Bai Yun lose face publicly?” Qin Yize asked in an even tone. “What, do you feel sorry for her?” Gu Qiaoqiao asked mockingly. “Gu Qiaoqiao,” Qin Yize’s frown deepened, his voice somewhat suppressed with anger, “I’ve told you before, there is nothing between me and Bai Yun. Don’t mix me up with her!”
