Chapter 692: Unt.i.tled
As she stayed at the airport for a while, Gu Qingmo sent her a text message on her phone.
He said he would call her after he got off the plane.
Gu Qingjiu could take calls during the weekend. Hence, she replied with an, ‘ok.’
Until Gu Qingmo texted saying he was going to board the plane, both stopped chatting.
Gu Qingjiu then prepared to leave the airport.
But just when she reached the second floor’s lobby, outside door number three, Gu Qingjiu saw Qin w.a.n.ge rus.h.i.+ng out of a cab with a distressed expression on her face. She had no idea if it was a coincidence or not.
At the sight of Gu Qingjiu, Qin w.a.n.ge widened her eyes and ran over to her. “Qingjiu, where’s your brother? Has he gone in ?”
She asked with urgency. Gu Qingjiu let out a sigh and said, “Sister w.a.n.ge, you’re late. My brother already boarded the plane.”
He couldn’t come out now.
When she heard this, Qin w.a.n.ge cried out of anxiousness. “There was a traffic jam on the road. There was nothing I could do about it. Sob sob...”
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
This was indeed an unstoppable accident. During peak hours, the traffic in the capital was dreadful.
Seeing Qin w.a.n.ge in tears, pa.s.sers-by looked over. A police officer even planned on coming over to ask about the situation. Gu Qingjiu hurriedly pulled Qin w.a.n.ge out of the airport. “Sister w.a.n.ge, you probably won’t get to see my brother now. Why don’t you give him a call?”
The teary-faced Qin w.a.n.ge shook her head, her voice sounding aggrieved. “He’s mad at me and won’t take my call. There’s nothing I can do…”
Gu Qingjiu creased her brows. “I’ll call on your behalf.”
She planned to call Gu Qingmo using her phone. However, she was ultimately too late, for her brother’s phone was already turned off.
Gu Qingjiu was entirely out of solutions.
“Sister w.a.n.ge, what exactly happened that day? I didn’t get to ask my brother in detail. My brother is also really sad over that…”
There was a regretful tone in Gu Qingjiu’s voice. In a choked voice, Qin w.a.n.ge recounted the incident that took place that day.
So it turned out after Qin w.a.n.ge accepted his proposal, she knew that Gu Qingmo would visit her parents.
Hence, when she got home, she told her parents about it. On the surface, her parents didn’t raise any issues and even agreed to it.
Who knew, when Gu Qingmo showed up at their house, they suddenly turned hostile.
It wasn’t just Gu Qingmo who didn’t see it coming—it was the same for Qin w.a.n.ge.
“At the time, I said that if my parents agreed to it, then me hiding things from your brother probably wouldn’t be so bad. I never expected my parents would speak to him like that… so now your brother is mad at me for hiding my family background from him. It’s my fault. But I was grounded.”
Qin w.a.n.ge’s parents guessed that Qin w.a.n.ge would look for Gu Qingmo, so they forbade her from leaving the house.
Although they didn’t cut off her communications means, there was a bodyguard right beside her.
When she received Gu Qingjiu’s message this morning, Qin w.a.n.ge put up an uncompromising att.i.tude for the first time, just short of threatening to kill herself if they didn’t let her come out, and it was only so that she managed to come out.
Still, she was too late.
After Gu Qingjiu heard the entire story, she felt a headache. If she were to meddle in this, perhaps she could divulge her ident.i.ty as Helian Niancheng’s future wife…
But that would be too shameless of her.
Gu Qingjiu could only dismiss that idea. She asked Qin w.a.n.ge seriously, “Sister w.a.n.ge, do you wish to spend the rest of your life with my brother?”
“Of course I do. I love him so much… I’m just afraid that he would stay mad at me for not being honest about my family background. But I never expected things to turn out so serious.”
As Qin w.a.n.ge and Gu Qingjiu walked, the former wept.
Gu Qingjiu pondered for a moment. Feeling that it wasn’t too practical for her to meddle in this no matter how she did it, she could only advise her this, “Sister w.a.n.ge, the decision lies in your hands. If you are willing to persist, there’s still hope for you and my brother. I understand him well. Even if he goes overseas, he likely won’t fall for anyone else.”
Although she had no blood ties with her older brother, both of them were stubborn.
Once they fell for someone, it was tough for them to change their mind.
Moreover, since her older brother had even proposed, he likely had already thought things through.
Even if he were overseas, he likely wouldn’t be able to walk out of Qin w.a.n.ge’s shadow.
