Chapter 197 -197: Gu Qingfeng Must Survive

At this time, Shen Manru saw that Gu Qiaoqiao had come back and quickly went to the kitchen.

Qin Xiaoyu flew out of her room, chattering excitedly, “Sister-in-law, did you get lost?”

Gu Qiaoqiao nodded, her voice soft, “Mm, Xiao Yu, I did get lost.”

Qin Xiaoyu was somewhat surprised; it seemed that this was the first time her sister-in-law had spoken to her so tenderly in a while.

And she had even called her Xiao Yu so gently.

She giggled, squinting her eyes, “Wait until I’m on summer break, I’ll take you out and show you how not to get lost.”

“Mm, then I’ll thank you in advance, Xiao Yu.” Gu Qiaoqiao’s voice carried an almost imperceptible guilt.

Qin Yize sat at the dining table, his gaze calm as he observed Gu Qiaoqiao.

This little girl had changed again.

She seemed like a sword waiting to be unsheathed, radiating a glow no one could understand.

It wasn’t long before Shen Manru and Grandma Qin brought out the food, and Gu Qiaoqiao, indeed hungry, began to eat.

Qin Xuan asked a few questions and, seeing that nothing was wrong, followed Shen Manru back to their room.

After all, it was already past ten at night.

Grandma Qin and Qin Xiaoyu also went to rest.

In the dining room, only Gu Qiaoqiao and Qin Yize remained, quietly eating their meal.

In her heart, Gu Qiaoqiao thought that after dinner, she would have a good talk with Qin Yize. With Qin Yize’s intelligence, he might have a better way to deal with those two vipers.

In any case, she wasn’t going to let them off.

But unexpectedly, at that moment, there was a sudden knock at the door. Qin Yize was taken aback, then put down his chopsticks and quickly walked towards the front door.

Who could it be at this late hour?

Gu Qiaoqiao looked outside too, only to find that in the blink of an eye, Qin Yize had strode back in.

Then he quickly went to their room and when he came out, he was already changed into a new upper garment.

Qin Yize had a solemn expression as Gu Qiaoqiao hurriedly stood up, “Are you leaving?”

“Yes, there’s an urgent mission. We’ll talk about your matter when I return. Please don’t do anything rash.”

Gu Qiaoqiao nodded without hesitation; she couldn’t let him leave with worries.

Qin Yize still felt unease, and continued, “…If there’s really a problem, you can go find Chu Chengfeng.”

“Mm, don’t worry, I know.” Gu Qiaoqiao agreed readily. She wanted to say some words of caution, but felt it might be inappropriate.

It was just like any other mission.

In less than a minute, Qin Yize gave Gu Qiaoqiao a deep look and decisively turned to leave.

Gu Qiaoqiao followed but only caught sight of the car’s taillights before they disappeared.

Their speed was something she couldn’t match.

Gu Qiaoqiao had no appetite left. She locked the door, cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and returned to her room.

After taking a bath, Gu Qiaoqiao lay on the soft bed with no hint of sleepiness.

Today marked the most important turning point in her past and present lives.

She had learned the truth about her family’s murder.

And that truth filled her with bone-deep hatred.

There was no joy in discovering that she was a descendant of the Imperial Treasure Chest.

There was only the destructive hatred.

Gu Qiaoqiao’s expression was cold, but her heart still couldn’t settle.

Owing to the intervention of the police and the military, Ning Wanru and Gu Cheng had no choice but to temporarily back off.

But given their ruthlessness, how could they possibly let her family off the hook?

What about the relatives in Stone Town?

Should she tell her father that he is the legitimate grandson of the Old Patriarch of the Imperial Capital’s Imperial Treasure Chest?

But this matter hadn’t been fully confirmed yet, and Gu Qingfeng was still in the hospital.

Whether he recognized them couldn’t be ascertained.

After all, until the day she died in her previous life, she had received no news of Gu Qingfeng.

Perhaps, he has never even known of their existence.

Perhaps, he had tacitly consented to all of this.

The human heart is unfathomable!

He could not have met with an accident.

If Gu Qingfeng died, their family would never have the chance to reveal the truth and clear up everything.

Therefore, first and foremost, Gu Qingfeng had to stay alive.

Not just alive, but he needed to live well and healthily.

Gu Qiaoqiao suddenly sat up from bed, her feet bare as she went to the small study.

Her carving knife was something she took with her wherever she went.

So, she found an olive pit and began carving.

She had given all she had previously carved to Qin Xuan, Shen Manru, and Qin Xiaoyu.

Only one remained, but she also needed to give that away.

Therefore, she had to carve another one.

Her speed now was about the same as when she first started carving.

By the time daylight had broken, a peace Buddha pendant was completed.

Gu Qiaoqiao tied the peace Buddha with a string and placed it in a small square paper box, then she checked the time—it was already four o’clock in the morning.

She still felt no desire to sleep.

However, looking at the girl in the mirror, she discovered a slight change.

It seemed as if there was a hint of malevolent energy between her brows, but as her gaze shifted, it appeared to be accompanied by a sense of composure and tranquility.

Those who had faced death tended to regard life and death with equanimity.

She was not afraid, but she had to find a way to protect her family.

Therefore, the time had come for her to take action.

The first stop would be the hospital where Gu Qingfeng was.

Gu Qiaoqiao carefully went over these things again in her mind before she headed to the kitchen.

The Qin Family’s breakfast that morning was exceptionally rich, with freshly prepared soup dumplings, milk-flavored small steamed buns, chive pancakes, and thick millet porridge.

There were four kinds of cold dishes.

To the uninformed, it might seem as though Gu Qiaoqiao had gone to several breakfast shops.

But all of it was made by Gu Qiaoqiao.

Delicious and delectable—it was worlds apart from what any breakfast shop could offer.

Gu Qiaoqiao prepared this breakfast with a sense of compensation.

Qin Xiaoyu ate until she burped contentedly.

She pulled at Gu Qiaoqiao, acting coquettishly, yet not forgetting to express her gratitude, “Sister-in-law, you’ve worked hard, the breakfast you made is so delicious…”

Gu Qiaoqiao hesitated for a moment, reached out and gently patted Xiao Yu’s head, speaking softly, “If you like it, I can make it for you every day.”

“Really?”

“Mhm, really.”

Qin Xiaoyu happily hugged Gu Qiaoqiao, “Sister-in-law, you’re the best.”

After saying that, she let go of Gu Qiaoqiao and skipped off to school, cheerful as can be.

Grandma Qin looked at Gu Qiaoqiao, “Qiaoqiao, don’t spoil that little girl too much, making breakfast every day is too tiring, Grandma can’t let you do it all alone.”

Shen Manru showed no displeasure at Grandma Qin’s words because when she first married into the family, it had always been Grandma Qin who prepared three meals a day.

She only needed to wash the dishes, not worrying about anything else.

It was only in the past few years when Grandma Qin’s legs had developed rheumatism that she took over the cooking duties in the kitchen.

Compared to Gu Qiaoqiao, she was far from equal.

She also said with a smile, “Qiaoqiao, you don’t need to get up to make breakfast in the morning, you should sleep more if you can. Young people should cherish their sleep. Don’t wear yourself out.”

“It’s nothing, just making some food, I’m really not tired,” Gu Qiaoqiao also emphasized with a cheery laugh.
