Chapter 631: Qiao’s Jewelry (4)
“What should we do?” Qin Si asked
Qin Zhiyuan replied with a smile, “I’ll just give it to her after I’ve bought it. Our family is indebted to her; it is only right that we should give her a house. If she really refuses to accept it, we will just take care of her in the future. She has just arrived, so she will surely need us. You must take special care of her in school too.”
“I know!”
Gu Qingyao returned to her room and lay on her bed to think.
She had not expected her overseas trip to be so successful. She had met Qin Zhiyuan in her previous life, and knew a little about what had happened to him. She had expected to find him easily.
But she had not known Qin Si in her previous life and had not expected to meet her in school in this life.
As for her mother, Gu Qingyao was amazed that she had obtained news of her mother so quickly.
Qiao’s Jewelry!
Gu Qingyao pursed her lips. In her previous life, Qiao’s Jewelry had businesses in every country in the world except China. But why?
Was it because her father was there?
Her mother must have loved her father deeply. Based on what her father had said, Mother was probably a very strong-willed and forthright girl. She must have been serious about their relations.h.i.+p, or she would have left. Why insist on leaving a wedding certificate?
And why would she go through nine months of pregnancy to have her?
In the end, she had returned, heavily pregnant and injured. How had she been injured?
Gu Qingyao did not know.
Meanwhile, after Qin Zhiyuan got home, his chauffeur drove the car to the garage. Before he entered the house, he instructed Qin Si, “Just tell your mother and the rest that everything is alright, but don’t mention the fact that Yao Yao is looking for Miss Qiao, not even to your mother.”
Qin Si was surprised. “Why? Is there a problem?”
Qiao’s Jewelry was so famous that, of course, Qin Si had heard about them. She owned many pieces from Qiao’s Jewelry!
Qin Zhiyuan’s expression grew stern and he earnestly explained, “Obey me. For now, you must not tell anyone about this. I need to carefully consider how to arrange matters. I will deal with Miss Qiao. You are not to be involved for now.”
When Qin Si saw how serious and earnest her father looked, she nodded obediently. “All right, I won’t mention it.”
Qin Zhiyuan nodded. Only then did he enter the house.
Qin Zhiyuan was alone in the study, re-reading his parents’ letter.
He was overjoyed to have news of his parents. This girl was his mother’s young disciple, and had saved his mother’s life.
He could tell from the letter that his mother liked her very much, and thought highly of her. She repeatedly told him that when he met her, he must care for her as he would his own daughter.
Under these circ.u.mstances, he had to consider Gu Qingyao’s side of the matter.
A careful examination of Gu Qingyao’s features showed that she bore a strong resemblance to Qiao Yuying. He was not trying to speculate but considering every eventuality.
If Gu Qingyao was really related to Qiao Yuying, would the Qiao family accept her?
Qiao Yuying was the apple of the entire Qiao family’s eye. The two old folks in the Qiao family doted on their daughter much more than they did on their other sons. Also, Qiao Yuying was the youngest girl, so the family cherished her even more dearly.
If Gu Qingyao was really Qiao Yuying’s daughter, then… who was her father?
Over the years, he had not heard that Qiao Yuying was married. In that case, Gu Qingyao must be Qiao Yuying’s illegitimate daughter?
