Ever since she was reborn, she had been thinking about this matter.
Because she knew she couldn’t avoid it.
It was the source of all the tragedy.
In her previous life, it was about the same that the Yu family’s company started running into problems from within.
Of course, the problem only blew up later on. But people working within the organization naturally detected the said problems earlier.
If she remembered correctly, the Li family took the opportunity to coerce the Yu family at around the same time.
The only difference was that Gu Qingjiu was in the military now. It was a juncture different from the previous lifetime, but the timing was roughly the same. Gu Qingjiu no longer cared about it, though.
Surprisingly, this time, the madam called her on her own accord.
She could still remember that cold and utterly disdainful face when the woman saw her in her previous life.
It made her want to laugh out loud.
“You’ve made a mistake. My biological mother is long dead.”
After she recalled everything that had happened before, Gu Qingjiu felt no pressure saying all these at all.
She had the urge to laugh out loud, too.
Perhaps even she herself didn’t realize that her eyes had reddened.
All because of rage.
“You… how can you say something like this, child? Mom… Mom is still alive!! And also your dad, we’re both alive!”
Gu Qingjiu’s words infuriated this madam in an instant.
But she still maintained her rational senses and held herself back from saying something too harsh, lest she scared off Gu Qingjiu.
But she could no longer keep her cautious attitude. There was now a haughty tone in her voice.
Gu Qingjiu snickered, her voice cold as ice. She asked, “Is there a difference?”
What she said nearly made the other party stomp her feet in fury.
“You… how can you speak like this? What prejudices do you have against us? We merely lost you by accident and have been looking for you for many years. We’ve been missing you so much it breaks our hearts, worried you might suffer out there, worried that you…”
“How did you find me? Why are you so certain I’m your daughter? You’ve got the wrong person!”
She had to admit this madam had pretty good acting skills; her choked voice made one feel sad for her.
Back then she liked to use this trick on her husband, too.
Too bad now as they grew older, her husband stopped falling for it.
But at the moment, she was using the same technique on the second daughter whom she had never met before.
Gu Qingjiu didn’t have the patience to hear such nonsense, so she simply interrupted her words.
She didn’t understand. The Yu family didn’t even show up to look for her yet. Not only did they find her phone number, but they also sounded so sure that she was the missing daughter of the Yu family.
Where did they get the news from?
“We went through great efforts before finding news about you. You… your name is Qingjiu now, right? We miss you very much. Mom really misses you dearly…”
With a beep, Gu Qingjiu directly hung up the phone.
Her gaze turned dark.
She wasn’t interested in hearing that woman’s deceitful words. What she wanted to know now was how the Yu family obtained news of her so quickly.
All of a sudden, she recalled Uncle Hu Yan who once visited her home and whom she had seen at the Yu family’s house before.
Although what would come would come anyway, this time Gu Qingjiu had to get to the root of this matter.
And this time, regardless of what tricks the Yu family played, she absolutely wouldn’t submit to them.
Her phone rang again. Gu Qingjiu lowered her eyes and looked at the blinking number. With a swipe of her finger, she hung up the call and blacklisted the number.
