Chapter 1867: Chapter 1865: We Missed You, Mom
The Old Patriarch was that ruthless; how could he possibly not avenge his own sons and grandsons? So they all died, not a single one survived.
After that, Chang Yalan gradually stopped crying.
She couldnât help thinking of what Gu Qiaoqiao had said, and compared to that soâcalled beautiful dream, at least in this life the few of them, brother and sisters, were all still alive.
So, just like her mom said, should she really be grateful that the Gu Family hadnât gone all the way to wipe them out, that they had shown mercy?
Chang Yalan silently lowered her head, biting her lips hard.
Gu Qiaoqiao stood at the doorway, froze for a moment, then curled her lips slightly and walked toward Brother Fong.
"Qiaoqiao, are you okay?" Fong Lei asked with concern.
"Iâm fine. You can go on questioning her now; sheâll probably confess," Gu Qiaoqiao said with a grin.
Fong Lei nodded, gave a few instructions to the men beside him, then left with Gu Qiaoqiao.
After the two of them chatted for a bit, Gu Qiaoqiao drove away from the police station.
Although Chang Yalanâs matter wasnât big, it still gave Gu Qiaoqiao a bit of a shock.
She didnât know if there were others in this world like Chang Yalan, nor did she know whether they would cause damage to certain things.
Like this Chang Yalan.
She should know about what would happen in the next five years. Although there were many small twists and changes, some major events basically didnât change.
Take Chang Yalan: for now, it was still okay; they could keep her under control.
By the time she got out, this world would already no longer be the way she knew it.
What she feared was that there might be similar people now, but with vicious hearts, using their bits of foresight to do things that harm the Mortal Worldâthat would be bad.
So Gu Qiaoqiao turned the car around and then headed in the direction of the Gu Garden.
Luckily, Little Uncle wasnât going to the ranch until tomorrow, so she could take this chance to ask him faceâtoâface.
When she arrived at the Gu Garden, the whole family was eating. Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei were running wild all over the yard with White Wolf and Xiao Bai.
Seeing Gu Qiaoqiao come in, Xiao Bao and Xiao Beiâs eyes lit up; like two little chicks they dashed toward Gu Qiaoqiao.
One child hugged one of Gu Qiaoqiaoâs legs.
Xiao Bei said in her milky little voice, "Qiaoqiao Mommy, Xiao Bei hasnât seen you for two days already. My brother and I really missed you, right, Brother?"
Xiao Bao was steadier, but he still nodded. "Qiaoqiao Mommy, did you come to see us and take us home?"
The questions came one after another, but Gu Qiaoqiao squatted down and asked curiously, "You always just call me Mommyâhow come today itâs Qiaoqiao Mommy?"
"Because everyone calls you that."
Xiao Bao held Gu Qiaoqiaoâs finger and said softly, "I discussed it with my sister. This way, our mommy will be one of a kind."
Gu Qiaoqiao couldnât help but let out a puff of laughter. "Even if you just call me Mommy, Iâm still one of a kind, you know, because in this whole world only you two call me Mommy."
Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei exchanged a look, then stared at Gu Qiaoqiao in delight. They immediately understood and nodded hard. Xiao Bei, being quickâtongued, blurted out, "Right, Mommy, only my brother and I call you Mommy. You and Daddy get along so well, but Daddy also calls you Qiaoqiao, and he also calls you..."
Gu Qiaoqiao reacted extremely fast.
She scooped Xiao Bei up in her arms and gave her a kiss on the cheek, blocking the rest of her words.
This child had definitely overheard Qin Yize secretly calling her that somethingâorâother.
She would really have to be careful in the future; these two little brats had sharp ears.
She couldnât help feeling a trace of blame toward Qin Yize.
But she couldnât show it in front of Xiao Bei. Having been kissed by her mommy, Xiao Bei was so happy she immediately forgot what sheâd been about to say.
Lian Yuhong had already served a bowl of rice for Gu Qiaoqiao and beckoned with her hand. "Qiaoqiao, come eat. Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei are already finished."
"Yeah, Mommy, go eat. Your tummy must be hungry."
Xiao Bao said considerately.
Xiao Beiâs dark, round eyes rolled, and she tugged on Gu Qiaoqiaoâs hand, pleading softly, "Mommy, can Xiao Bei talk to you about something?"
"What do you want to talk to me about?" Gu Qiaoqiao looked at Xiao Bei. What could she possibly have to talk about?
"Mommy, I want to go play on the grasslands with Brother."
Gu Qiaoqiao froze for a moment. This little girl had quite the wild heartâshe wanted to go to the grasslands to play. The grass there was taller than they were; she really wouldnât be at ease.
"Youâre still too little. When you grow a bit older, Daddy and Mommy will take you there to play."
Xiao Bei was about to say more, but Xiao Bao tugged at her.
Then Xiao Bao blinked, smiled, grabbed Xiao Bei, and patâpatâpat ran off to find White Wolf.
Lian Yuhongâs face was full of joy; these two children had brought them so much happiness.
As long as Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei were there, the Old Patriarch and Lady Yu simply wouldnât go out.
At this moment, seeing Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei run off to find White Wolf, the Old Patriarch put down his chopsticks. "You all eat first. Iâll go see what Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei are doing."
"Great Grandfather, are you done eating?"
Gu Qiaoqiao asked with concern.
The Old Patriarchâs eyes bulged. "Of course Iâm done. Iâm not stupid. I know whether Iâm hungry or not."
Lady Yu slapped him lightly and said displeased, "Qiaoqiao is worried about you. What are you so worked up about? Qiaoqiao isnât here to pick up the kids, right, Qiaoqiao?"
Gu Qiaoqiao blinked. What could she say? She smiled and nodded. "Iâm not here to get them. I came to talk to Little Uncle about something."
Lady Yuâs brows immediately relaxed into a smile. "Then hurry and eat. Your Little Uncle went out with Ling Nan and will be back in a bit."
Then the Old Patriarch and Lady Yu went off together to look for Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei.
Gu Qiaoqiao looked at Gu Tianfeng with smiling eyes. "Dad, when did you get back?"
Gu Tianfeng had gone on a business trip.
"Got back yesterday. I even brought you guys gifts. Take them with you when you go back later."
"Thank you, Dad." Gu Qiaoqiao said with squintedâeye smiles, then turned to Gu Qianqian. "Qianqian, you havenât gone to see Luo Fan these last couple of days?"
"No. Schoolâs going to start in a few days. Iâm staying home to keep Mom company."
Gu Qianqian said obediently.
Lian Yuhong let out a sigh. "We donât have that many kids in our family, but we can never get everyone together. How long has it been since Zishu came back?"
"Zishu went to the Special Preparation Team. The environment there is different from other placesâitâs a special department. If there arenât any special circumstances, itâs already pretty good if he can get a few days off in a year."
Gu Qiaoqiao went on, "Donât worry about it. Zishu is growing very fast now. No matter what happens in the future, this experience is hugely beneficial for him. And my little brother canât just be a handsâoff young master in the future; heâll have to take on the Gu Familyâs businesses sooner or later."
"Youâre now the Gu Familyâs Successor, and youâre doing very well. The Old Patriarch is extremely satisfied with you. Your brotherâs temperament isnât suited for handling these things." Gu Tianfeng said in a low voice.
"Dad, I know all that. But we still have to see what my brother wants to do in the future. For now, just let him do what he likes. Besides, Iâm thinking that when I retire and Iâm not so busy anymore, I want to travel the world with Ah Ze."
Lian Yuhong laughed. "Youâre only in your early twenties and youâre already talking about retiring. All right, all right, eat."
