Shortly after Tan Yalan left, she called her husband.
Gu Hong was flustered when he received her call.
He couldn’t be bothered about the fact that he had to attend a meeting in the company and simply canceled the meeting to rush home.
At home, Qi Yuefeng sat on the sofa with tears all over her face, and looking very pale; she suddenly appeared older.
Seeing Qi Yuefeng in such a state, Gu Hong’s heart ached for her. He went up to hug her. “Did you confirm that she really is Qingjiu’s biological mother?”
Qi Yuefeng’s tears instantly gushed out. She slumped in Gu Hong’s arms and sobbed non-stop. “Yes, no need to confirm. Their faces are similar! The date she mentioned matched the time we found Qingjiu. She even took out Qingjiu’s photos when she was a year old…”
Identical.
The baby in those photos looked identical to the Qingjiu they found.
Moreover, Tan Yalan’s face resembled Qingjiu too much.
However, her Qingjiu had never shown such an unkind sneer on her face the way the madam did.
Overwhelmed, Gu Hong held Qi Yuefeng, and his gentle eyes suddenly became stern.
“We need to let Qingjiu decide for herself. We can’t do it for her, not even her biological parents can.”
All along, Gu Hong’s attitude differed from Qi Yuefeng’s.
He had always felt that Qingjiu’s biological parents had to bear responsibility for her going missing back then.
How could they lose a year-old baby? If that wasn’t considered failing in their duties as parents, then what was?
If they hadn’t found her, who knew what fate the little Qingjiu would have suffered?
Hence why Gu Hong never had good vibes towards Gu Qingjiu’s biological parents.
Just then, his phone suddenly rang.
It was an unfamiliar number.
And it was a series of rare consecutive numbers to the end.
Such numbers belonged to important people.
Thinking it was a call from some client, he put the call through and said, “Hello?”
“Dad!”
He heard his daughter Gu Qingjiu’s voice over the phone.
Gu Hong was surprised. “Qingjiu, whose phone are you using?”
“Dad!”
On the other end of the line, Gu Qingjiu didn’t answer him. The minute she heard Gu Hong’s voice, she could no longer restrain her emotions.
She actually felt afraid.
Very afraid.
She was afraid her family couldn’t withstand the Yu Family’s pressure on them, and that she had to repeat her fate from her previous life.
She had to be brave in front of Qi Yuefeng, in front of everyone.
But she couldn’t shake away from her mind the events of what had happened in her previous life.
Else, she wouldn’t have worked so hard to change everything!
The uneasiness and the despair she felt during those two years in jail buried in the deepest spots in her heart.
Finally, the minute she heard her father’s voice, the infinite grievance and emotions exploded all at once.
She suddenly couldn’t hold herself back anymore, even if the Chief Instructor and Commander Huo sat in the front seats.
Even though it had been a few months, she couldn’t restrain her emotions any longer.
Her tears slipped down her cheeks like a string of broken pearls.
Huo Yingcheng was dumbfounded.
Gu Qingjiu sobbed over the phone. And before Gu Hong could speak, he heard a man speaking loudly over the phone. “What are you crying for? Useless!”
The fury and grievance overwhelmed her, making her unable to control her emotions. Hearing He Niancheng’s words, she subconsciously retorted in a choked voice.
“I just want to cry! So what if I’m useless!”
