Chapter 1324: Fate Returns to the Starting Point

But since she had already passed the test with Gu Qiaoqiao, Shang Qing felt a sense of relief.

Shang Qing then stood up and looked at Gu Qiaoqiao, "Qiaoqiao, I’m leaving now, and I’ll call you later."

"Are you going to Dongfang Yu’s apartment now?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked.

Shang Qing nodded, "Yes, I’m going there now. It’s already past eight o’clock."

"Oh, are you planning to bring him breakfast?"

"I don’t know, I just want to have a look since I haven’t been there since Xiao Bai left."

Shang Qing picked up her handbag from the sofa and was about to head out when Gu Qiaoqiao stopped her, "Wait a minute..."

Shang Qing quickly halted and turned to look at Gu Qiaoqiao, "Qiaoqiao, what’s wrong?" Shang Qing asked with some concern.

Gu Qiaoqiao sighed helplessly, "Shang Qing, do you know where Dongfang Yu’s apartment is?"

"Of course I know, I’ve been there a few times," Shang Qing replied cheerfully.

"Did you go by yourself or did someone take you there?"

Shang Qing hesitated a bit, "Dongfang Yu took me there every time."

"So even if you arrive at the apartment complex, you won’t find his home. Wait a moment, I’ll go with you."

Without waiting for Shang Qing to ask why, Gu Qiaoqiao quickly headed to her room.

There was no choice, she had to go with her.

If Shang Qing went to the apartment, she probably wouldn’t get in, but she definitely wouldn’t give up and might search around the complex.

If someone with ill intentions found out, it could become a troublesome matter.

If not for this concern, Gu Qiaoqiao would have preferred to see Shang Qing return empty-handed.

At this moment, Shang Qing waited outside, still a bit clueless.

Quickly, Gu Qiaoqiao changed her clothes and came out with her handbag, then picked up a pen and paper to leave a note for the Qin Family, telling them that she and Shang Qing had something to do and wouldn’t be home for lunch...

In case Grandma Qin and Shen Manru prepared a whole table of dishes, just a few people wouldn’t be able to finish it.

Gu Qiaoqiao placed the written note on the coffee table, then took Shang Qing and headed outside.

Shang Qing was, of course, happy that Gu Qiaoqiao could go with her, but she still didn’t understand one thing and asked in a low voice, "Qiaoqiao, can’t I find it myself?"

Gu Qiaoqiao nodded, "That’s right, you wouldn’t find it on your own."

Shang Qing suddenly understood and immediately smiled, "Qiaoqiao, you’re amazing!"

"You just realized?"

"I’ve known for a long time, I knew you were amazing back on Cloud Mist Mountain, otherwise why would Dongfang Yu go to such lengths to deal with you?"

At this point, Shang Qing was startled and embarrassedly stuck out her tongue; Gu Qiaoqiao glared at her, "Speaking of which, I really didn’t want to take you."

Shang Qing quickly grabbed Gu Qiaoqiao, "Alright, alright, Qiaoqiao, that was my fault."

"Okay, I know, it’s been so long, let’s not mention it again." Gu Qiaoqiao waved her hand, signaling to Shang Qing not to bring up old matters.

The two of them chatted while heading out of the Qin Family’s courtyard.

As they reached the courtyard gate, Gu Qiaoqiao locked the gate from the outside and was about to head towards Shang Qing’s car but felt something unusual behind her. Shang Qing glanced across from Qiaoqiao and immediately noticed Bai Yun standing there.

Bai Yun’s hair seemed to have grown longer, giving off the vibe of the female lead in a romance drama. She still liked wearing white dresses and white high heels.

She must have been on her way to work, with lipstick giving her a tacky look, yet her expression was indeed complex.

Shang Qing never liked Bai Yun, she gave her a glance and let out a cold snort, then pulled Gu Qiaoqiao towards their car, saying as they walked, "I heard from my elder brother that someone introduced Bai Yun to my third brother..."

As she said this, they already got into the car, Gu Qiaoqiao looked at Shang Qing in surprise, "Introduce Bai Yun to your third brother, did your third brother agree?"

"My third brother doesn’t even know yet, he’s also in the army now, and he’s been promoted to deputy company commander."

Shang Qing’s third brother, Gu Qiaoqiao thought while looking ahead.

Suddenly, she remembered that in the Reincarnation Realm, she seemed to have seen Bai Yun’s wedding. Although she didn’t know who the soldier beside her was, there was no doubt that he had the surname Shang. Could it be Shang Qing’s third brother?

Unexpectedly, fate had brought them back to the starting point.

But in her past life, Bai Yun didn’t marry into the Shang Family. Who knows what it will be like this time? If she stays honest, maybe she’ll get what she wishes for.

Thinking of this, Gu Qiaoqiao turned to look back because the alley was narrow, so the car moved slowly. She saw Bai Yun standing at her own door, watching their car. Then the car made a turn, and everything disappeared from view.

"Why look at her? That woman has too many tricks up her sleeve, she’s not going to become my third sister-in-law," Shang Qing muttered.

Gu Qiaoqiao laughed, "Shang Qing, can you really decide for your third brother?"

"Why not? Third brother and I have the best relationship."

Gu Qiaoqiao casually asked, "Who introduced Bai Yun to your third brother?"

"Who else? It was Bai Yun’s grandfather who spoke to my grandfather."

The old man of the Bai Family?

Gu Qiaoqiao wasn’t very familiar with the old man, but the Bai Family was indeed in a decline now. Thinking about it, they probably wanted to use their most beautiful granddaughter to forge an alliance with the Shang Family for some benefits.

"What does Grandfather Shang think?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked.

"My grandfather didn’t refuse; after all, he’s been friends with Bai Yun’s grandfather for many years. He said it’s up to the children’s feelings..."

"What does Bai Yun think?"

"I don’t know, looking at her just now, she seemed strange. Logically, she should be actively trying to build a relationship with me, shouldn’t she?"

"Not necessarily, with me around, she might not come over." Gu Qiaoqiao replied nonchalantly.

Shang Qing pursed her lips, "Yes, that woman has too many tricks."

Gu Qiaoqiao remained silent,

There was no need for Gu Qiaoqiao to say anything; Shang Qing would certainly tell Grandfather Shang whatever she wanted to convey.

Although Bai Yun was always crafty and adaptable, the fact that she had to come to them for help revealed a lot.

But harming others brings about one’s own ruin. In her past life, she didn’t end up well either.

Gu Qiaoqiao let out a long sigh and changed the subject with Shang Qing.

To prevent the family driver from tattling, Shang Qing had the car stop in front of a mall near Dongfang Yu’s apartment. After they got out, Shang Qing sent the family driver away and then followed Gu Qiaoqiao across the street towards the apartment.

It was morning, with people coming and going in the apartment. Gu Qiaoqiao thought, maybe this was the difference between the Mystic Sect and ordinary people. Even in the bustling city, the Mystic Sect still showcased their uniqueness through their abilities.
