“F*ck!”
Huo Yingcheng hit the steering wheel and cursed out loud when he saw that he had almost hit a girl!
The passers-by saw that his jeep almost ran into another person and finally began to move away, watching from afar.
Gu Qingjiu was calmer than before, but she was still frightened by this sudden movement. She shivered a little and looked at the person in the car. Vaguely, she saw a man sitting in the backseat, whose face she could not see clearly. She could only see a trace of a cheek, but there was a fierce and oppressive air coming out from there.
Gu Qingjiu was stunned for a few seconds but soon jogged away, not even bothering to get even with the driver.
When Huo Yingcheng saw her running away, he was slightly dumbfounded even though he had a great experience. He turned his head to look at the person sitting in the back. “Major-general, what’s the matter with the people in China?”
“I don’t know. Start the car, you’re in the middle of the road!”
The cold voice was like a piece of ice that had not melted for a thousand years. It was deep and magnetic, one which could make one shiver all over.
His face, hidden in the dim light, was as handsome as if God had meticulously carved it. There was a hint of coldness in his long and narrow eyes, and his pursed lips showed that he was slightly distressed. The dark and oppressive air made Huo Yingcheng stunned.
He turned his head and drove away.
“Major-general, I’m not criticizing you, but you’re going to suffer like this. China is not like where we come from. You are now in exile…”
“Shut up!”
A fierce shout made Huo Yingcheng tightly clamp his mouth shut.
Damn it. He had been exiled to this place which is in the middle of nowhere, and yet he had the gall to drag him down. How dare he be so arrogant!
However, Huo Yingcheng had no courage to say it out loud.
When the two-story square building appeared in front of her eyes, Gu Qingjiu suddenly had mixed emotions.
She had not seen her parents for many years.
She had never seen them ever since she was forced back to the Yu family.
The only news she received was of their deaths!
News of their deaths!
These words deeply stabbed into Gu Qingjiu’s heart, making her heart feel like a bunch of needles had pricked it. It was even more painful than when she was killed by the prison guard Yu Shiwei had bribed.
She still remembered her parents’ kindness, but she never had a chance to repay them.
When she thought of this, Gu Qingjiu clenched her fists. Now that she was reborn, she must let her parents live a good life and never repeat the tragedy of her previous life!
Finally, Gu Qingjiu mustered up her courage and walked towards the small building.
They lived on the residential street west of Dayi City. This street was relatively ordinary, and two streets down was already a luxurious metropolis. There were many kinds of department stores and standing there, in which one could see a magnificent landscape, and it provided a stark contrast to the low houses here somehow.
Most of the people who lived here were from ordinary families.
Gu Qingjiu’s family was one of them.
The first story lived a middle-aged husband and wife who ran a supermarket, and above them was Gu Qingjiu’s home. When the middle-aged woman, who was eating sunflower seeds, saw Gu Qingjiu suddenly appearing here during school hours, she started to loudly rasp, “Qingjiu, why aren’t you in class? What’s the matter?”
