Gu Jinfeng was amused. “Mother, have I ever caused you any worry over the years? This is not my first time traveling.”
That was true. Her two sons had never caused her much worry.
“Then just be careful. You might as well see how Yao Yao is doing. Sigh… She’s such a young girl and in a foreign land. It’s so worrying.”
Gu Qingyao had been overseas for three years, and they had not had much news of her. The entire Gu family was worried.
The people who had been sent overseas previously had started to return, but there was no news of Gu Qingyao.
Gu Jinfeng lowered his eyes. He was also worried about her. He would certainly seek her out this time.
“Don’t worry, Mother! I will certainly find Yao Yao.”
Once they decided to go overseas, Gu Jinfeng and Mo Beihan made their preparations. There was a quota, so they could not have things entirely their way. They could only fight for one of the places. As for their destination, it would depend on what they were assigned.
Basically, they did not have much choice.
Before they left, Jiang Yiru rushed over joyfully. She was filled with excitement.
“Hurry, hurry, Yao Yao has sent a letter!”
It happened to be a rest day, and all the adults and children were home, including Mo Beihan and the children in his family.
Jiang Yiru’s shout silenced the entire Gu family!
“Why are you just standing there? I’m telling the truth. There’s a letter from Yao Yao.”
Jiang Yiru was dragging two large boxes, filled with Gu Qingyao’s presents for the children.
“When Yao Yao went overseas, wasn’t there a person called Zhao Mingjiang who was also studying medicine? Yao Yao and that boy got two of the allocated places for medicine. Now he has completed his studies and come back. Yao Yao asked him to bring us these things. They’ve all arrived, and here is the letter.”
Only then did the Gu family recover its wits and rush to grab the letter. Everyone headed straight for the letter. It was a thick missive and very conspicuous.
When they opened it, they discovered that there were few words, but many photographs.
Some were of Gu Qingyao in school, some were of her life, and there were photographs of her diploma.
There was another letter specially for Gu Yunshen. When he opened it, he saw photographs of her and Qiao Yuying.
The photos rendered Gu Yunshen speechless.
He ignored the ruckus in the living room. He did not care about the presents. He took the letter and went to his room.
He carefully looked at each photograph. Most of them were of his daughter, and she only had two photographs with Qiao Yuying, that were taken in the garden of the Qiao house. She must be worried that someone would notice if she sent too many of such photographs, and there would be repercussions.
The woman in the photograph still looked the same, just that she had matured. He recognized her at a glance.
Her letter to Gu Yunshen was very simple!
“Father, everything is well with me here. I will come back after I graduate. Then… we will have a family reunion!”
A family reunion!
Gu Yunshen almost burst into tears when he saw these words.
He knew his daughter was telling him that his Yuying had not forgotten him. She had always been waiting for him. In the future, she would return with their daughter to look for him.
After more than twenty years of patient waiting, the day was finally here!
Downstairs in the living room, everyone was happily looking at Gu Qingyao’s photographs.
There were photographs of Gu Qingyao by herself, and some with her classmates, teachers, and friends. She was smiling brightly in every one of them!
