Chapter 1274: Wind and Rain Last Night

At the corner of the alley entrance of the Qin Family Old Residence, a pair of sinister eyes stared fixedly at the gate of the Qin Family Old Residence.

This world is just so unfair.

No matter how hard you try to get what you want, it’s ultimately in vain.

In the end, it only results in a shattered family and personal ruin.

And some people, without doing anything at all, have people love her, spoil her, and treat her as their lifeblood.

Making her happiness seem like that of a princess.

Where there’s laughter, there’s sadness.

She gripped the steering wheel tightly until her knuckles turned white.

All of this, what is it relying on?

Since no one can give her the answer, she’s going to create the answer for herself.

Moments later, the woman hidden in the night started the car and slowly drove towards the road.

Soon, she disappeared into the bustling traffic.

The night was exceptionally thick, like ink spread across the sky, countless stars adorned the night sky, shining with a captivating brilliance, the bright moon still hanging high, moonlight still like water.

On the following morning, Gu Qiaoqiao slowly opened her eyes and recalled last night, couldn’t help but chuckle.

Qin Yize actually had her set up a Barrier Talisman in the room, under the pretense of tranquility.

In truth, it was all for himself.

Gu Qiaoqiao turned her head to glance at the time, was startled, oh my, it’s already nine o’clock.

Gu Qiaoqiao hurriedly flipped over to sit up, ignoring the soreness in her body, quickly got dressed, and was about to open the door when the door opened, Qin Yize appeared outside holding a tray, saw Gu Qiaoqiao awake, his eyes lit up, "Qiaoqiao, you’re awake."

"Why didn’t you wake me up when you woke up, look at what time it is?" Gu Qiaoqiao complained.

Qin Yize placed the tray on the coffee table, with two bowls of porridge, a steamer of buns, and a plate of pickles on it.

He watched Gu Qiaoqiao who had just woken up, though she was exhausted last night, she rested well, her little face white with a hint of red, just like a nectarine.

Making him somewhat tempted to pinch it a couple of times.

"I saw you sleeping soundly, couldn’t bear to wake you, and I just woke up a few minutes earlier than you."

Qin Yize’s voice carried a hint of laughter.

Gu Qiaoqiao gave him a glare.

"Qiaoqiao, go wash up."

Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t move.

"Want me to help you wash your face and brush your teeth?" Qin Yize teased.

Gu Qiaoqiao reached out and pinched Qin Yize, grumbling, "It’s all your fault."

"Alright, alright, it’s all my fault..."

Qin Yize chuckled softly, simply pulled Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand to go to the bathroom together.

Diligently squeezed toothpaste onto Gu Qiaoqiao’s toothbrush and filled her cup with water, he handed it to Gu Qiaoqiao with a smile...

Gu Qiaoqiao proudly raised her small chin to take it, "Smart move."

Afterwards, Gu Qiaoqiao quickly started brushing her teeth and washing her face, and after finishing breakfast, the two of them snuggled on the sofa, Qin Yize held Gu Qiaoqiao, thought for a moment, and began to say, "I talked to Lu Hao."

"Huh?" Gu Qiaoqiao was stunned.

"We guessed right, that Sister Li is his sister-in-law." Qin Yize said lightly.

"Is his family really like Zao Hua said?"

"Pretty much."

"Then what’s Lu Hao’s attitude? With such a big family following him, hasn’t he thought about his future life?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked puzzledly.

Qin Yize pondered, "Lu Hao’s mother got into trouble in her hometown and couldn’t stay there, so they’re temporarily relying on Lu Hao, but after the matter is settled, they will go back."

"What kind of trouble did she cause?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked curiously.

"Just neighborhood disputes, Lu Hao didn’t go into detail."

Gu Qiaoqiao’s eyes shifted slightly, then asked, "Who else is in his family?"

Qin Yize suddenly chuckled, unclear if it was helplessness or feeling Lu Hao was too young, "Quite a lot of people actually, his parents, elder brother and sister-in-law, two younger sisters, oh right, and now there’s a distant cousin."

Gu Qiaoqiao looked up at Qin Yize, her eyebrows subtly furrowed, "Then what does Lu Hao think."

"He’s also stressed out, he can only wait for a year until he can request them to return home when he gets transferred."

"Lu Hao is quite filial..." Gu Qiaoqiao said lightly.

Qin Yize gave a noncommittal smile, "Hmm, I gave him some advice, hope he takes it, alright, let’s not talk about them, Qiaoqiao..."

He softly murmured Qiaoqiao’s name, then lowered his head to kiss her cheek...

But two days passed in the blink of an eye.

On the third morning, Qin Yize drove back to the base.

And Gu Qiaoqiao looked at the empty bed beside her, her heart also felt empty.

Staring at the white ceiling, she thought to herself, she should first visit the school, and then start working.

She rolled over, pounded the bed a few times, wondering when Qin Yize would come back next.

Gu Qiaoqiao sighed deeply, got out of bed.

After finishing breakfast, originally planned to call the driver from Gu Garden, but after thinking it over, she decided to head to school herself for now.

It’s not close, but not too far away either.

Gu Qiaoqiao was originally a trainee, most of her time was her own anyway, as she hadn’t officially enrolled in off-campus study, so when she arrived at school, nobody found it strange.

Those familiar chatted for a while, then started classes.

During break time, the teacher called Gu Qiaoqiao out separately, excitedly said, "Gu Qiaoqiao, there’s an international carving competition this winter, are you interested in participating?"

Gu Qiaoqiao was taken aback, international competition?

Before Gu Qiaoqiao could speak, the teacher eagerly continued, "If you agree, I’ll send your wooden carving from spring to enter the competition, how about that?"

"Is it the wooden carving I made in spring?"

"Yes, yes, that’s the one."

Gu Qiaoqiao thought about it, this kind of competition she heard for the first time, but participating doesn’t necessarily bring harm, so she readily nodded, "Alright, go ahead."

The teacher clapped joyfully, a bit childishly, "I was worried you wouldn’t agree, now I have to prepare, you just need to remember this event, it won’t affect your work or studies."

"Hmm, got it."

Seeing Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t look reluctant, the teacher’s last bit of worry vanished, he walked briskly towards the office.

Gu Qiaoqiao smiled watching the teacher.

It’s said that those engaged in art have simple personalities, apparently, this proved true for this teacher.

After staying at school for two days, Gu Qiaoqiao went to Yubao Square.

Everything was still the same.

According to Zhang Yi, however, Yubao Square refused He Shan’s plan to purchase gemstones, He Shan and Yubao Square had quite a disagreement.

To the point of slamming the door and leaving.

Gu Qiaoqiao glanced at Zhang Yi, "Uncle Zhang, do you think we should sell her the gemstone?"
