Chapter 713: Preparing To Return To China (2)
Now that it was really time to go back, she felt… a little nervous!
Gu Qingyao had already packed her luggage. When she saw her mother sitting there in a daze, she walked over and asked, “Mother, what’s the matter? You’ve been so distracted lately. You can see Father soon, aren’t you happy?”
Qiao Yuying snapped out of her trance and lowered her head. “I’m happy. I’ve waited for so many years, of course I’m happy. But… but…”
She was just nervous!
Gu Qingyao held her hand and laughed. “Don’t be nervous! Father is longing for you! Actually, we should have let Father come here when he wanted to. Then he wouldn’t need to wait for us to go back.”
Once the situation permitted, Gu Yunshen wanted to come overseas to look for his wife and daughter. He was a man, and his wife and daughter were both here. Of course, he wanted to see Qiao Yuying and have a chance for the two old folks in the Qiao family to accept him. How could he just wait in China for Qiao Yuying to bring Gu Qingyao back?
But Qiao Yuying refused. She had sent a message to Gu Yunshen to wait in China until Gu Qingyao graduated. Then she would bring their daughter back and meet him.
Although it was rare for people to leave the country, it did happen. It was getting more and more convenient, and it was entirely possible for Gu Yunshen to come overseas to see them. But Qiao Yuying had not allowed him to do so.
It was no longer so difficult to contact one another. So even though Gu Yunshen was far away in China, he knew something about the situation over here.
When Qiao Yuying heard that, she continued to object.
“There was no need. Your Father is unfamiliar with everything overseas. It was better to wait until you graduated, and we can go back to China together. Although it means waiting for a little longer, hasn’t the moment arrived? We can be reunited soon.”
Gu Qingyao laughed. “That’s right, we can be reunited soon. So, Mother, please focus. At this moment, Father is probably feeling very nervous. When you see him, he will probably be wild with delight.”
Qiao Yuying glared at her but did not reply.
Gu Qingyao said, “My luggage is almost packed. What about you, Mother? Do you want me to help you? You can’t buy the kind of clothes you usually wear in China. If you’re not used to it, you should bring a few more pieces. If we can’t manage all that, we can find a way to ship them back to China.”
Qiao Yuying said, “Why wouldn’t I be used to it? When I was in China, I wore clothes like that.”
Gu Qingyao shrugged. “Great! In a few days, the uncles will come back for a reunion. We can all eat together before we leave.”
Qiao Yuying turned aside, so Gu Qingyao did not see her expression.
Actually, it was not that she did not want to see Gu Yunshen more quickly, or that she did not want him to look for them, but… she was worried that Gu Yunshen would be in danger if he came here.
Huo Lin was no gentleman. A despicable person like him might attack Gu Yunshen.
After Qiao Yuying left, Second Cousin came in. When he saw that Gu Qingyao was almost packed, he raised his brows. “Are you really… leaving just like that?”
He knew the girl better than that.
They had not yet exterminated the Huo family!
Gu Qingyao glanced at him and said nonchalantly, “Why not?”
Second Cousin frowned. “Surely not. The Huo family…”
A trace of a smile appeared on Gu Qingyao’s lips. “Why? Growing impatient? If we exterminate them now, can you manage the aftermath?”
Second Cousin: “…”
A mystery!
What did she mean?
