Chapter 910 - 880
"You must have made a lot of money recently as well." Qiao Qiqi would only believe her if pigs could fly.
"Hehe, indeed, but after splitting with the company and deducting expenses, I’m still poor."
"..."
Qiao Qiqi thought she must have misunderstood what being poor means.
"By the way, I heard your company made a reality show. I’d like to participate."
"Sure, no problem. I’ll talk to my brother about it. It’s perfect for you to be a guest judge." Qiao Qiqi thought Yang Xiaoqing was indeed well-suited for the show since she’s younger and closer in age to the contestants.
"Alright, let’s eat."
Yang Xiaoqing said as she started eating.
Qiao Qiqi twirled the pasta on her plate while watching her, "You came looking for me—there must be another reason."
"I came to see you, what else could it be? Hurry, eat." Yang Xiaoqing pushed the steak towards her.
Qiao Qiqi, "..."
"Gu Lizhe he..."
"Qiqi, you might be mistaken. I have nothing to do with him! We won’t have any connection in the future either! So no need to mention him in front of me!" Yang Xiaoqing firmly interrupted her.
Qiao Qiqi, "?"
What had happened?
After eating, Gu Cheng came to pick her up, and Qiao Qiqi parted ways with Yang Xiaoqing.
Gu Cheng didn’t dare park too close to the Gu Mansion, so he stopped at a distance and gave the two of them guns for protection.
Qiao Qiqi and Gu Shili both dressed in tight black clothes and prepared their gear. They exchanged a glance and swiftly turned to sprint through the woods towards the Gu Mansion.
Sure enough, there were many bodyguards patrolling in the woods. The two successfully evaded them and jumped over the high wall of the Gu Mansion.
Qiao Qiqi had been in Old Gu’s room before, so she knew where it was. She led Gu Shili through layers of guards and finally slipped onto the terrace outside Old Gu’s room.
The two first cautiously crouched by the window, listening to the commotion inside, where there were indeed people talking.
"Dad, take your medicine first; your health is paramount. Don’t get too upset."
This was the voice of Gu Family’s eldest, Gu Qinghe. To say Gu Family’s uncle was truly filial would be true; he was a dutiful son.
"Alright, I know." Old Gu’s voice was weak, indicating his health must have been affected.
Confirming there was no third person in the room, Qiao Qiqi and Gu Shili exchanged a look and carefully knocked on the window. The pair inside both stared intently at the window.
"Grandpa Gu, it’s me, Qiao Qiqi, I came to see you." Qiao Qiqi said.
Gu Qinghe’s eyes lit up hearing Qiao Qiqi’s voice. He hesitated, glanced at the camera in the corner, and coughed lightly before saying, "Dad! You’d better go to bed early. I’ll turn off the lights first!"
Gu Qinghe turned off the lights and then approached the window, saying, "There’s a camera inside."
"Uncle, it’s okay. I have a way to handle it. Please let us in." Qiao Qiqi said.
Gu Qinghe opened the door, and Qiao Qiqi and Gu Shili entered. Gu Qinghe’s eyes widened when he saw Gu Shili, "Shi... Shi Li, you’re not dead?"
"Uncle, keep your voice down." Qiao Qiqi turned to close the door.
Gu Qinghe quickly covered his mouth.
Old Gu heard the sound too and was thrilled to see his grandson alive. Qiao Qiqi came over first to check Old Gu’s pulse, her face slightly darkened. Old Gu’s condition was extremely critical!
She took out the silver needles she carried and quickly administered a few, causing Old Gu to immediately feel a considerable relief in his body.
