Novel Full Chapter 247 - Who is That Man Who Sent You Back?
Chapter 247: Who is That Man Who Sent You Back?
For Gu Qingjiu, she considered both He Niancheng and Huo Yingcheng as her close friends.
He Niancheng sent Gu Qingjiu back to the Gu family.
After alighting from the vehicle, Gu Qingjiu waved goodbye to He Niancheng. She said, “Chief Instructor, I sent your things to Doctor Nan. Remember to send someone to collect them.”
He Niancheng nodded. “Send me a message when you leave for the military camp. Send me another when you arrive.”
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
‘Was that necessary?’
Before she could reply, He Niancheng had already left.
After watching the car disappear from her sight, Gu Qingjiu finally looked away.
At the mart below her house, Chen Yanhong wasn’t around. It was her husband who took over.
Since her husband was friendlier than Chen Yanhong, the man offered Gu Qingjiu a smile when he saw her.
Arriving upstairs, Gu Qingjiu was shocked to find her door ajar.
She pushed open the unlatched door and stuck her head in to look. She saw Qi Yuefeng leaving the bedroom with a bundle of clothes in her hands.
Seeing that Gu Qingqiu had returned, it didn’t surprise Qi Yuefeng at all. Despite her friendly tone, there was an odd look on her face. “You’re back.”
“Yes. I came back to look since I had some time.”
As Gu Qingjiu entered, she thought that Qi Yuefeng looked weird.
Did she find out about what happened with the Yu family before?
It didn’t seem like it though. Otherwise, Qi Yuefeng wouldn’t still be so calm.
Gu Qingjiu probed further, “Mom, is Dad not around?”
“Something cropped up at your Dad’s company. It seems like he’s having problems with one of his projects. He’s been busy at work for the past few days and is practically living there now. He doesn’t have time to come back.”
Qi Yuefeng sighed and went to hang up the clothes in her hands.
Gu Qingjiu’s heart skipped a beat.
A business project? Did something happen?
She was very sensitive now, and she treated every single matter with seriousness.
She walked towards Qi Yuefeng and asked, “Mom, what happened at Dad’s company?”
“How would I know?” Qi Yuefeng frowned as she tidied the clothes. “I don’t know what’s happening with his business. On the other hand, you…”
Qi Yuefeng suddenly changed the topic to something that Gu Qingjiu never expected her to bring up. “Who is that man who just sent you home? He doesn’t look like Commander Huo, the one who sent you home last time.”
“…”
Gu Qingjiu stuttered. “Erm… Erm… Did you see him? He’s my Chief Instructor. I came out to help him with some errands, and he sent me home after we were done with everything. I was able to come here under his permission. The last time, though, he came with me too. It was only Commander Huo who came up, but the Chief Instructor was inside the car at that time.”
She sounded rather collected as she explained.
Yet, Qi Yuefeng could still sense that there was something amiss.
After all, Gu Qingjiu appeared much calmer whenever she spoke about Commander Huo.
And it was completely different from how she spoke about the Chief Instructor. She clearly lacked confidence and sounded flustered.
Why was she flustered, though?
Like her mother, she knew her daughter well. Qi Yuefeng knew what was going on but didn’t explicitly spell it out.
She merely replied, “Oh, I thought that he was someone special.”
Gu Qingjiu giggled. “He’s my Chief Instructor.”
Qi Yuefeng was reminded of what she had accidentally seen earlier while hanging up the clothes earlier.
She didn’t see his full features, but she saw his side profile. He looked incredibly handsome.
She felt that there was something unusual going on between her daughter and that man.
However, she didn’t elaborate further.
Since it was rare for Gu Qingjiu to come home, she shook those thoughts away and prepared some food for Gu Qingjiu.
