Novel Full Chapter 655: The Unfortunate Bai Youran (2)
Gu Qingyao was filled with gratitude towards Qin Zhiyuan!
It was her great fortune to have met her teacher in this lifetime.
Qin Zhiyuan said, “You left in such a hurry that the raw jade is still with me! I’ve sent someone to bring it to you.”
Gu Qingyao thanked him and hung up.
Qiao Yuying clutched Gu Qingyao’s hand. She had eyes only for her daughter. She gazed at her continually, afraid that she would vanish in the next second!
Gu Qingyao consoled her. “Mother, don’t worry, I won’t vanish. I especially came to look for you. Father is waiting for us to go home to have a reunion!”
Gu Qingyao had never enjoyed a mother’s love in her previous life. Now that she had met her mother, she felt a deep sense of kinship, even without interacting much with her. Blood truly was a mysterious thing.
Qiao Yuying’s heart softened at the thought of Gu Yunshen. She knew the person she had chosen would never betray her.
There were still some misunderstandings regarding Zhang Xiaohui, but Qiao Yuying did not want to dwell on them.
The situation had been so precarious back then. Even an illustrious family like theirs had found it hard to survive. She was well aware of how difficult it had been for the Gu family to survive peacefully in those circumstances.
He had brought up their daughter well. As a husband, he had not betrayed her. That was enough!
Qiao Yuying smiled. “All right, I will wait until we can go back and our family can be reunited.”
But Qiao Yuying grieved at the thought of the current circumstances.
She sighed. “But considering what things are like, even though you have found me, your father doesn’t know about it, and there is no way of getting the news to him. I don’t know when we’ll ever be able to go back!”
Gu Qingyao smiled. She wrapped her arm around Qiao Yuying’s shoulders and leaned against her. “Mother, don’t worry. I think that we can be reunited in a few years. At most… three to five years. Then we can go back!”
Qiao Yuying was taken aback. “Really?”
Gu Qingyao nodded. “Really. I grew up among many professors and scholars and learnt many things from them! They stay near me and have analyzed the situation.”
Qiao Yuying was delighted. They were far from home and did not know how things were like back home. Any news they obtained was vague.
But Gu Qingyao was different. She had come from China, and since that was their analysis, it was very likely to happen!
“Great! Great! Then we can go back soon!”
Although they had lived comfortably overseas for so many years, it was still a foreign land.
It was one thing to be in a foreign land because you were too busy to go home, but to be unable to go home was a completely different matter.
Both the Qiao family and the Qin family hoped to go home one day.
With Gu Yunshen still in China, Qiao Yuying was even more eager to go back.
Gu Qingyao smiled. “That’s right. We’ve already waited for so many years that a few more years doesn’t matter. Mother, meanwhile we must take good care of ourselves. In the future, we can return and be reunited with Father.”
Qiao Yuying could barely suppress the joy in her heart at the thought of Gu Yunshen. After all, she had missed him for eighteen years. Now that there was a hope of a reunion, she almost instinctively touched her face!
“Have… I grown old?”
Gu Qingyao was surprised, then burst out laughing!
“You’re not old! You look like you’re in your thirties. Other people will think we are sisters. But Father has suffered a lot all these years in our hometown. Mother, you mustn’t despise him, all right?”
