Nobody noticed that He Niancheng’s actions seemed to slow down for a moment.
Gu Qingjiu, whose eyes met He Niancheng’s, felt her heart throb for some reason.
The more she looked at him, the more handsome the Chief Instructor looked…
That was an irrefutable truth.
He Niancheng got into the car and fastened his seatbelt.
Huo Yingcheng asked him, “Major-General, are we heading to the city to handle your matters first?”
“Mm.”
He Niancheng responded with a nasal sound.
The car engine then started and they left.
Upstairs, seeing the car leave, Gu Qingjiu retracted her gaze.
Even though she didn’t wish to trouble Chief Instructor and Commander Huo, she felt warm at heart hearing those words.
Regardless, it felt really good to have someone back her up.
Gu Qingjiu felt that joining the military was a right choice.
In the living room, despite that interruption, Qi Yuefeng hadn’t fully recovered from the enormous blow she suffered, especially that Gu Qingjiu’s biological mother was waiting in a hotel in Dayi City.
That woman traumatized her too badly. She had used an incredibly arrogant manner as she pricked at the deepest and most painful secret she had in her heart.
Even thinking about it made her chest feel stuffed up.
Gu Hong accompanied her by her side. Even though he didn’t speak much or revealed many expressions, Gu Qingjiu could detect the hint of worry in her father’s eyes.
She felt that the matter shouldn’t go on. She had to at least settle the issue first.
But speaking of how, there didn’t seem to be a good solution since everything happened so suddenly… unless Gu Qingjiu went to look for Tan Yalan.
But…
She didn’t want to see this woman, much less go see her in person.
Gu Qingjiu decided to watch how things would unfold.
She wasn’t planning on returning to the troops in the next two days.
Because once she returned to the troops, she wouldn’t know when she would be able to visit home again.
Since she won the competition, she was to enter the advanced training camp in a few days’ time.
And she wondered if this incident would affect the outcome at such a critical juncture.
This was what worried Gu Qingjiu most!
But life had to continue…
After learning that Gu Qingjiu wasn’t planning on going back to the troops that day, Qi Yuefeng lifted her spirits and went to buy groceries to whip up a good meal for her daughter.
Gu Qingjiu wanted to accompany her, but Gu Hong stopped her.
He went out with Qi Yuefeng instead and made Gu Qingjiu stay at home.
Gu Qingjiu then went online to search for information regarding the Yu family’s company in North City.
The Yu family ran into problems from within the company, so the outside world hadn’t yet caught wind of this.
What turned up on the search was mostly news regarding Yu Shiwei.
Yu Shiwei, the sexiest enchantress in North City, the focus of attention since she was young.
Gazing at Yu Shiwei’s confident and proud smile on the magazine cover, it felt like a thorn pricking into the depths of her heart.
However, whether Yu Shiwei lived well or not, it was none of her business.
Gu Qingjiu also didn’t care about how outstanding and striking a person she was.
But why, why did she have to be so vicious?
She couldn’t forget that arrogant and spiteful smile on Yu Shiwei’s face, and even that gaze filled with vicious intent right before she died in her previous lifetime.
Those were forever etched upon Gu Qingjiu’s heart.
Her finger gently grazed across the computer screen.
‘Never mind. Yu Shiwei, in this life, I swear to change everything.’
‘I have plenty of time to waste with you in this life!’
