Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again

Chapter 126: Chapter 126: Destined

“Do you think this matter is easy now?” Ning Wanru rebutted discontentedly.

“It’s not easy.”

“And another thing, what if they don’t know anything at all?” Ning Wanru added indifferently.

“That’s true, we might just end up alerting them prematurely,” Gu Cheng agreed, nodding.

“I can’t even begin to estimate the wealth of the Gu Family; facing such boundless riches, who wouldn’t be tempted?” Ning Wanru stated calmly.

“My son understands. For now, we’ll hold our forces. I will have the eldest keep an eye on them. If there is any irregularity, we might as well just kill them all and then discuss,” Gu Cheng said.

“That’s the last resort. The old man might just die in his sleep. Right now, your top priority is to take control of Yubao Square and the Jade Mine,” Ning Wanru advised.

“I am working on it, but it’s difficult. Many things need the Old Patriarch’s seal. Without it, we can’t move the big money,” Gu Cheng replied.

“What’s the rush? Sooner or later, that seal will be in your hands,” Ning Wanru said with conviction.

“How long will that take?” Gu Cheng was actually very anxious.

He still had to go to work and didn’t have much time to waste. Even if he took leave, it would only be for a short while in front of him.

“If the old man really wakes up, let Gu Kun get the seal. If he dies, take control of Uncle Gu and hand the seal over to Gu Kun. In the end, the result is the same. Why the hurry?” Ning Wanru said nonchalantly.

Gu Cheng felt reassured upon hearing this.

Yes, with the paternity test in hand, what was there to fear?

He left the North Mountain Villa leisurely and continued to play the role of a devoted son admired by all in the hospital.

However, Ning Wanru couldn’t shake off the suspicions in her heart.

Is that man really so lucky to escape death?

But according to the reports, the Gu Tianfeng family in the countryside is as ordinary as it gets.

It was said that a few years ago, a common cold had Gu Tianfeng sick for many days.

So, does the problem lie with Qiaoqiao?

The girl who inherited the Gu Family’s carving talent?

She hadn’t seen her carvings, nor did she know if they were as mystical as Zhang Yi had described.

At this moment, Ning Wanru was interested. She really wanted to meet Qiaoqiao.

This girl who dared to speak fiercely and possessed astonishing carving skills.

It’s just a pity that this Gu Family successor, who could potentially lead the Gu Family back to its peak, was destined to die by her hand.

…

Meanwhile, Qiaoqiao was already preparing to set off.

It was also Sunday.

Early in the morning, Qiaoqiao had finally managed to calm down Gu Qianqian and Gu Zishu. When she went out to the yard, she saw the tearful Chang Qing.

This child, why does he cry so easily?

In her previous life, it was the same.

But Qiaoqiao also knew that Chang Qing only showed such emotion in front of her.

In front of others, he was quite strong.

When his stepmother beat him, he never shed a single tear.

With that thought, she felt at ease.

Qiaoqiao, looking at Chang Qing by the fence wall, smiled and said, “What’s the matter? Who has bullied you?”

Chang Qing quickly wiped his tears with his sleeve, head lowered, and didn’t speak.

Qiaoqiao had been meaning to look for him anyway.

She looked around and took out a small wallet, handing it to Chang Qing, “Chang Qing, this is the money Sister has for you, Five Hundred Yuan, enough for a whole semester’s tuition. Don’t refuse it, this is Sister’s intention.”

Chang Qing hesitated for just a moment before taking the wallet, which was bulging with Five Hundred Yuan inside.

It was more than enough for one semester, it could cover his living expenses for two years.

Gu Qiaoqiao originally wanted to leave the money with Gu Tianfeng, but thinking that Chang Qing would definitely not accept it later, she decided to give it to him directly instead.

This kid was so smart; he would surely hide the money well, especially since it was given by her.

Sure enough, Chang Qing treasured the wallet greatly and put it into his inner pocket.

“Sister Qiaoqiao, I will pay you back this money in the future,” Chang Qing promised seriously.

“Mhm, I believe you,” Gu Qiaoqiao smiled. “Chang Qing, you should also believe in yourself, you will get better and better.”

Chang Qing nodded, looking at Gu Qiaoqiao, and asked reluctantly, “Sister Qiaoqiao, when you go this time, will it be a year before you can come back?”

“How could that be, I might come back again in the summer,” Gu Qiaoqiao said lightly.

Chang Qing’s eyes lit up immediately, “Then, Sister Qiaoqiao, can I write letters to you?”

“Of course,” Gu Qiaoqiao patted her pocket. “I’ll go inside and get a pen and paper to write the address for you.”

“No need, Sister Qiaoqiao, I can remember it if you just say it once.”

Gu Qiaoqiao slapped her forehead, she had forgotten about this little genius.

So, she recited the address for the experimental base that could be disclosed to the public, and Chang Qing remembered it firmly in his mind.

Gu Qiaoqiao remembered something and asked, “Chang Qing, which university do you plan to apply for?”

“Principal Gao said there’s a relative of his who has opened a restaurant in the provincial city, and they promised me a part-time job during summer and winter vacations and on weekends, plus free meals and accommodation, so I’m thinking of applying to a university in the provincial city.”

The provincial city’s university had a nationally renowned polytechnic; it was the same university Chang Qing attended in his previous life.

Gu Qiaoqiao had thought about suggesting Imperial Capital University to Chang Qing but didn’t voice it out.

After all, there might be unknown dangers in the Imperial Capital, and it would be terrible if Chang Qing got involved because of her.

So, she completely dismissed that thought.

And that polytechnic was excellent, too.

“Hmm, not bad, the polytechnic in the provincial city is nationally famous, suits you quite well, and it’s your hometown, so it’s much more convenient for part-time work,” she said.

“Yes, Sister Qiaoqiao, and it’s also close to Uncle Gu. When I’m capable, I’ll definitely support Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu,” the youth said in a hoarse but sincerely committed voice.

Gu Qiaoqiao smiled. She believed that what Chang Qing said, he would do.

Only this time, she wouldn’t let him struggle with part-time work and studies like he did in his previous life.

But whatever he wanted to do, it all had to wait until after he got into university.

Gu Qiaoqiao then reminded Chang Qing; he would go with Gu Zishu to see her off, and Gu Qiaoqiao did not decline.

She happily agreed.

One couldn’t deny the shadows of the last life lingered; Gu Qiaoqiao hoped that this departure would be seen off by the whole family.

It would be best if dad, mom, grandma, uncle, younger uncle, little cousin, and aunt were all there…

Unfortunately, such a grand occasion was not to be; the grandmother’s household was very busy, and the younger uncle came yesterday to represent them.

And he had even prepared to send Gu Qiaoqiao in his friend’s vegetable truck.

Which was declined by Lian Yuhong.

That truck had no place for passengers, and the driver’s cabin was both dirty and broken, far worse than the large passenger coach.

Moreover, the most important thing was that it was too bumpy; she didn’t want her daughter to suffer that hardship.

So it was convenient for Gu Qiaoqiao to take the large coach to the county town first, and then transfer to the provincial city.

Unexpectedly, as she was getting dressed, grabbed her travel bag, and being seen off amidst a hustle and bustle, a familiar sedan drove up from afar.
