That night, after Hu Yan and his family finished eating, they left.

Gu Qingmo went downstairs to send them away, whereas Gu Qingmo returned to his room to work on his internship plan on the computer.

It was his last semester in school, and also the semester where he ought to be interning. After the new year, Gu Qingmo would return to the capital to look for an internship, and after that he would wait for graduation.

Qi Yuefeng shuttled between the living room and the kitchen, busying herself with clearing away the utensils.

These are all trivial aspects of life a housewife needed to take care of.

Thankfully, she had a loving husband and a family complete with a son and a daughter, and there werent troubling matters at home as well. Hence, Qi Yuefeng was a rather happy housewife.

Gu Qingjiu helped Qi Yuefeng wipe the table and mop the floor.

After packing up, she saw that Qi Yuefeng was still washing bowls in the kitchen, and so she walked in.

Mom, Id like to ask you about something.

Gu Qingjiu started speaking, causing Qi Yuefeng to look at her with a surprised look. Whats the matter?

After Brother came to look for me, you called me and sounded funny over the phone. Why did you ask me about my biological parents?

Gu Qingjiu felt this matter was odd.

You cant blame her for being paranoid, though. It was truly because the Yu familys matter was about to happen soon; hence, Gu Qingjiu couldnt afford any accidents.

Well, about that Qi Yuefeng paused for a moment, her head lowered as she continued washing the dishes. Actually, its nothing. Mom just saw someone putting up a notice looking for their lost child. This made me think of your biological parents. I wonder if theyre still looking for you after so many years

Actually, what she was more interested in asking was whether Gu Qingjiu herself missed her biological parents.

A barely noticeable cold glint flashed across Gu Qingjius eyes. If the Yu family missed her, that was because their favorite daughter was about to be forced to get married then.

Mom, dont think so much. Since they abandoned me, how can you count on my biological parents to be good people?

After all, since she knew the truth, she had no pressure saying all these.

Qi Yuefeng felt it was a little weird. She had a kind nature and was an ordinary person who didnt like to think of others as being too wicked. Perhaps they had their reasons?

Gu Qingjiu deliberately said in an upset manner, Mom, are you trying to say youre hoping my biological parents will come to look for me and take me away with them? Do you no longer wish to raise me?

Hearing this made Qi Yuefeng panic. Mom never thought that way. What nonsense are you thinking about, child? Its my fault for bringing this up. Lets stop thinking about all this. Youre Moms daughter. How can I not wish to raise you?

She truly doted on this daughter, hence the panic.

What she feared was that Gu Qingjiu would leave with her biological parents in the future.

Humans are selfishshe had raised this daughter for so many years, and she had long been like her own flesh and blood. Of course, she wanted Gu Qingjiu to keep staying by her side. Regardless of the kind of people her biological parents were, she didnt want Gu Qingjiu to go back.

Was it so easy to part with their kinship of so many years?

Since Qi Yuefeng feared Gu Qingjiu would let her thoughts run wild, she stopped talking about this matter and simply asked Gu Qingjiu to bring fruits to Gu Qingmo.

However, she didnt see the smile on her daughters lips the instant the latter turned around.

Actually, she just had to obtain assurance from Qi Yuefeng. Even if Qi Yuefeng would waver when the time came, she would not.

She would rather die than leave the Gu family members in this lifetime.

The Yu family was her stumbling block on this path.

Since its a stumbling block, it had to be removed!
