He Niancheng was momentarily stunned.

He saw the tears on Gu Qingjius face from the rearview mirror. After yelling at him, she vigorously wiped away her tears with her hands.

She seemed especially aggrieved.

He said nothing and simply looked at Gu Qingjiu.

Huo Yingcheng was staring so hard his eyeballs were about to pop out.

In his many years of existence, this was the first time someone dared to yell at He Niancheng!

And the most important thing was he didnt react!

It didnt even seem to affect him.

Tsk, tsk, tsk

Over the phone, Gu Hong anxiously asked, Qingjiu, why are you crying? Also, whos the man talking next to you?

He wasnt deaf. He heard that one line loud and clear.

Gu Qingjiu sniffled a little, trying to stop her tears. But when she spoke, she couldnt control her voice from sounding choked. Nothing nothing, Dad. Ill be back soon, Ill be home right away.

Why did you come back? Its nothing important. Be careful when you come back. Ill be waiting at home with your mom. Dont cry. But whatever it is, come back and talk to Dad.

Gu Hongs warm voice entered Gu Qingjius ears, and it slightly made her calm down.

Regardless, at least her parents were still by her side. At least they were still by her side.

Okay okay, Im reaching home soon.

After hanging up the call, Gu Qingjiu returned Huo Yingcheng his phone, but she had her head lowered in embarrassment. Thanks, Commander Huo

After all, its embarrassing to cry in front of others.

No need for a thank you. Huo Yingcheng glanced inconspicuously at He Niancheng. Seeing that he had retracted his gaze from Gu Qingjiu, he asked, Qingjiu, I hope you dont find me nosy. Im only asking. Are you worried that your parents will send you back to your biological parents?

After all, Gu Qingjiu was returning home because of such a matter.

With her head lowered, Gu Qingjiu appeared dejected. She shook her head slightly. Im not worried about that.

The Gu family absolutely was not willing to send her back to the Yu family.

Then why are you crying? Or do you wish to see your biological parents?

No. Gu Qingjiu pursed her lips. Her tears had gradually stopped now. I dont wish to see them.

Perhaps even she herself didnt realize how terrifyingly cold she sounded when she said this.

Just then, someone handed her a tissue from the front seat.

It startled Gu Qingjiu.

She took the tissue from that slim, long, and fair hand. Without turning around, He Niancheng said, Wipe your tears.

He sounded as cold as ever.

As if he felt nothing in particular.

Gu Qingjiu took the tissue from him and wiped away her tears, then apologized for the rash words she spoke earlier when her emotions overwhelmed her. Sorry, Chief Instructor, I was feeling a little anxious just now

Its fine.

He seemed to not truly mind.

Next to him, Huo Yingcheng felt even more strange.

He never dared to yell at He Niancheng before. Although He Niancheng shot Gu Qingjiu some death stares after she had yelled at him, he actually didnt mind it?

Could the difference in treatment not be so obvious!?

After the commotion, none of them spoke for an amount of time.

The atmosphere in the car was quiet and odd.

When the car drove to Dayi City and as she got closer to her home, Gu Qingjiu began feeling anxious.

When she arrived at the destination, Gu Qingjiu was already burning with anxiety. After bidding Commander Huo and the Chief Instructor a simple farewell, she immediately dashed for her home.
