Chapter 205 -205: You’ve Come Really Late

She had entrusted Chu Chengfeng yesterday to investigate Ning Wanru and Gu Cheng; she thought that she would not reveal the truth until she had made the final confirmation.

If she spoke out, she would become the great-granddaughter of the person before her, the granddaughter of Gu Cheng, the niece of Gu Jiansheng!

Such relationships were too disgusting.

She did not want them.

If she really were to return to the Gu Family, it had to be a Gu Family without Ning Wanru and Gu Cheng.

And the old man before her, who couldn’t even protect himself, how could he possibly keep his entire family safe.

In name, he was the Old Patriarch of the Gu Family, but his power was far less than Ning Wanru’s.

At the very least, it was Ning Wanru who had discovered their entire family first.

And he could only lie in the hospital, incapable of any action, once he wanted to do something, with just one move from the opponent, he would be left with no ability to fight back.

From the recent events, it was clear that his capabilities were far less than Ning Wanru and Gu Cheng.

Therefore, Gu Qiaoqiao simply did not trust him.

It was better to maintain the status quo for the time being, and then to attract the attention of Ning Wanru and Gu Cheng on herself.

That way, it would also make it easier for her to act.

Gu Qiaoqiao hid the thoughts in her eyes and said with a semi-smile, “So, you have an adoptive son, but why does no one know you have a biological son? Where is he?”

After saying that, Gu Qiaoqiao hurriedly spoke up again, “I’m sorry, Old Patriarch, this is your private matter, I was presumptuous. I hope you won’t blame me.”

Gu Qingfeng’s gaze was complex as he looked at Gu Qiaoqiao, “I don’t blame you. You are my life-saving benefactor, whatever you say is not too much. But that was something from fifty years ago.”

As he spoke, Gu Qingfeng did not wait for Gu Qiaoqiao to speak and continued, “Fifty years ago, my son and I argued, and in a fit of rage, I said the words ‘I will not care for you in life nor bury you in death,’ and then the next day, Kunkun and his mother left home and have been gone until now.”

“‘I will not care for you in life nor bury you in death,’ those are indeed harsh words,” Gu Qiaoqiao commented seriously, then asked again, “Haven’t you looked for them?”

“I did, starting from the third year after they left,” Gu Qingfeng suddenly said with little confidence.

He used to think he was very reasonable, but at this moment, he suddenly realized how foolish he had been.

Why did it take so long for him to start looking.

A touch of coldness surfaced in Gu Qiaoqiao’s eyes. It took two years to start looking?

This heart, quite large indeed.

To put it bluntly, heartless enough.

In typical families, one would start searching the very day someone went missing.

Yet this person could wait for two years!

Although she didn’t know what exactly happened back then.

But no matter what happened, Gu Qingfeng was alive and well, Ning Wanru and Gu Cheng were also alive and well, Yubao Square was equally unscathed.

So, whatever Grandpa had done back then did not bring harm to these people.

Then what reason did he have to hate his own son and wife?

Could it be that he and his mistress were the true love!

Could it be that Grandpa scolded him for favoring the mistress and destroying his wife, which is why he ended up being kicked out of the house?

Gu Qiaoqiao had never had a good impression of the man before her; it seemed it was not prejudice or resentment.

There really was a reason.

Gu Qiaoqiao fell silent for a moment before speaking softly, “You began your search quite late. Normally, if a family member goes missing, they would be sought after all over the streets by the next day at the latest. So, you missed the best opportunity, and then you missed fifty years.”

Gu Qingfeng had actually known for a long time that he was wrong.

But he stubbornly insisted, insisting he was not wrong, insisting that he had sufficient reasons for his actions.

New n𝙤vel chapters are published on freeweɓnøvel.com.

Because only by doing so, could he manage to live on, or else, he would have wished to kill himself.

However, today, being straightforwardly pointed out by Gu Qiaoqiao like this, even the last shred of shame was gone.

All his indecency and mistakes were exposed.

All of a sudden, he clenched his fists fiercely, then pounded them heavily on the bed, his eyes bloodshot, about to split, and his aged and hoarse voice filled with self-blame and pain, “It’s all my fault, it’s all my fault. If I had gone to look for them the next day, how could it be fifty years since our last meeting… it’s all my fault, I deserve to die…”

Gu Qingfeng’s sudden loss of composure startled Gu Qiaoqiao.

She quickly went forward, grabbing Gu Qingfeng’s arm, speaking urgently, “Old Patriarch, please don’t get agitated. I was just speaking carelessly, please don’t take it seriously.”

Gu Qiaoqiao hated him, but he was still her relative; how could she possibly watch him die?

Uncle Gu also supported Gu Qingfeng’s other arm, speaking urgently, “Old Patriarch, the doctor said you can’t get agitated, please don’t hurry, what’s past is past, talking about it now is pointless. What’s important is the present and the future.”

“Yes, Old Patriarch, you must try to accept it. If the person I mentioned is indeed your wife, wouldn’t it be…”

Gu Qiaoqiao paused here, wanting to say a reuniting of the whole family.

But the grandfather had died.

They could never reunite as a complete family again.

This was a regret that could never be made up for.

She suppressed the tears in her eyes and shifted the conversation lightly, “…wouldn’t it be a good thing? So, you must take good care of yourself and recover. When you can be discharged, I’ll take you to that old lady. However, you must be prepared with the Red Spirit Jade Marrow…”

Gu Qingfeng slowly lifted his head, looking at Gu Qiaoqiao, and after a long while, he said, “If you tell me your purpose, I can give it to you right now.”

No matter if this child was his descendant, if she really had news about Lady Yu, it was worth a piece of Red Spirit Jade Marrow.

Moreover, looking at a face that resembled so much of Lady Yu’s, a sense of inexplicable kinship rose in Gu Qingfeng’s heart.

Gu Qiaoqiao smiled and gently shook her head, “I can’t tell you the specific purpose, but I can tell you that it’s for carving a small object.”

She would not confess that she held the Mysterious Dragon Box in her hands.

This old man couldn’t even protect himself.

If those coveting the Mysterious Dragon Box knew, she would face another layer of danger.

So, she wasn’t going to tell him.

Gu Qingfeng fell silent for a moment, then let out a long sigh, looking at the sly Gu Qiaoqiao; he didn’t know why, but his once anxious heart seemed to slowly settle down.

This child, she had a plan.

If she won’t say, then so be it.

However, Gu Qingfeng still said calmly, “I will give you the Red Spirit Jade Marrow when I see the person you’re talking about.”

Hearing this, Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t mind it too much.

The secret of the Mysterious Dragon Box should be the Gu Family’s secret. If she were to open it now, and there was something incredible inside, and Gu Qingfeng, in a moment of confusion, shared it with Ning Wanru and Gu Cheng, she would be infuriated.

Gu Qiaoqiao glanced at Gu Qingfeng and put on her peace Buddha pendant; after enduring so many blows, she was still unharmed.
