‘Because I met you.’
There was no way to describe how shocking that statement was.
But every word of that sentence was worth savoring.
Every single word made Gu Qingjiu’s heart thump loudly.
No.
When she first heard that, it felt as if her heart stopped.
She didn’t even know what the Chief Instructor meant with that.
She didn’t want to think too much into it, but she couldn’t control herself as well.
“Go up.”
He didn’t wait for Gu Qingjiu’s reply to his sentence, and instead, reminded her once again.
Gu Qingjiu was then reminded that she had a mother who urgently needed her comfort.
She couldn’t think further into He Niancheng’s words as she rushed upstairs.
Looking at Gu Qingjiu silhouette as she rushed up, a dull and vicious glint flashed across his eyes.
He took out his cell phone and walked out after dialing a few numbers.
Gu Qingjiu reached the house, only to discover that the door was still open.
The lights were brightly lit.
But she could hear a woman sobbing.
Gu Qingjiu’s heart clenched tightly, and she hurried in.
“Mom!”
Gu Qingjiu anxiously called out. Qi Yuefeng was inside the house sobbing in grief.
When she heard her daughter’s voice and saw her, she couldn’t hold herself back and cried out, “Qingjiu.”
Desolation and despair were evident in her tone of voice.
Gu Qingjiu embraced her mother. “Mom, it’s going to be okay. Everything’s going to be okay.”
Her voice was trembling and her heart ached terribly as well.
But in front of her mother, she must appear strong.
Qi Yuefeng was only a housewife who spent her life in peace.
These sudden changes would inevitably cause her to panic.
Gu Qingjiu couldn’t show her that she was also in a panic, lest Qi Yuefeng might suffer more.
She hugged Qi Yuefeng just like how Qi Yuefeng used to embrace her when she felt wronged when she was younger.
But their positions were reversed now. It was her turn to protect Qi Yuefeng.
“Qingjiu…”
She could see how helpless Qi Yuefeng felt right now. She never anticipated such a thing to happen, so she could only tightly grab on Gu Qingjiu’s sleeves.
After her mother had calmed down, she held Qi Yuefeng’s shoulders and asked, “Mom, tell me first. Give me a brief explanation of what happened to Dad.”
Hearing Gu Qingjiu’s question, Qi Yuefeng burst out in tears. “It’s Hu Yan!”

As miserable as she felt, the moment she mentioned that name, she gritted her teeth.
As if she felt endless hatred towards said person.
Hu Yan?
Gu Qingjiu’s expression instantly darkened.
Wasn’t Hu Yan the man who brought his wife’s child over to greet the Gu family before?
Gu Qingjiu thought that he looked familiar and that was because he had seen Hu Yan at the Yu family before.
And now, this incident was related to Hu Yan?
“Your father trusted him ever so readily. He said there was an investment that he wanted to tackle with your father and your father readily agreed. Your father even asked a few big clients he was close with to invest tens of millions into it, but Hu Yan ran away with the money!”
After hearing Qi Yuefeng summarize it, Gu Qingjiu came to a realization.
It might have been done on purpose to sabotage her father.
Her father wasn’t a brash person. For her father to believe in Hu Yan’s investment, it must have meant that he had pieces of evidence and proof.
But she remembered that Hu Yan recently just returned to the country. The investment plan which he came up with, what kind of evidence could he have?
When she linked that to how she met Hu Yan at the Yu family, as well as how Tan Yalan got her cell phone number so quickly…
Her eyes narrowed. In the end, the most suspicious mastermind was the Yu family!
