Chapter 2061: Chapter 2059: Intertwined Time and Space, Shifting Lives (7)
That was why she needed time to calm down thoroughly, she had to be calm before meeting the so-called Great Grandfather and Uncle, these names and people were completely unfamiliar to her.
Qin Yize waited quietly without saying a word, and Gu Qiaoqiao gradually calmed her emotions. It was unclear how much time had passed, maybe just dozens of seconds, perhaps dozens of minutes. In any case, after a suffocating silence, Gu Qiaoqiao turned around, and said politely yet distantly to Qin Yize, "Thank you, I’m fine now, let’s get out of the car."
Qin Yize looked at Gu Qiaoqiao with some suspicion, not quite believing her words; this was her state before she saw her relatives. Even with psychological preparation, could she really remain calm when facing them?
However, the situation was such that he had to bring her here, letting her accept all her circumstances as soon as possible. He actually would have liked to take Gu Qiaoqiao to a hotel owned by the Qin Group for a good rest for several days.
But when he discussed this on the phone with Uncle, this suggestion was vetoed. His uncle told him that the current Qiaoqiao did not possess the spiritual power of the past Qiaoqiao, making her soul unstable, causing her body to not integrate well. Hence, she needed to be in a familiar environment to allow her soul and body to nurture each other into harmony. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for everything to return to its original normal track.
Qin Yize firmly remembered this sentence in his heart, so no matter what, Gu Qiaoqiao needed to step inside the gates of Gu Garden as soon as possible.
He honked the car horn outside the door.
Nowadays, Second Brother Ren had installed two security personnel at the door to replace Uncle Li, after all, Uncle Li was getting on in years and should enjoy his old age gracefully. And now the gate was adjusted to allow vehicles to enter and exit freely. So after hearing the car horn, the security personnel at the gate ran over happily.
The sound was very familiar; it was the car driven by the Gu Family’s son-in-law.
It was New Year’s Eve today, why were they coming to Gu Garden instead of celebrating at Qin Family’s Courtyard? But if those two little babies came, the yard would be even livelier. So he opened the gate, and subsequently, Qin Yize drove the car into the yard of Gu Garden, nodding and smiling at the security, then proceeded onward.
For Gu Qiaoqiao, this was a completely unfamiliar place. Given it was winter, cars couldn’t be parked outside, so Qin Yize drove the car into the garage and then led Gu Qiaoqiao toward the main house of Gu Garden.
After walking a few steps, Gu Qiaoqiao stopped and looked around. She had never been here before, very unfamiliar, but she knew this area. It was said the residents here were either wealthy or noble, so how could someone like her come here?
After all, this wasn’t a scenic spot, just a residential area with an elegant, quiet, and harmonious environment, but here she was walking in it.
The road paved with bluestone slabs was swept clean, and big red lanterns hung around, with red couplets pasted on the door. Faintly, voices were heard coming from the main house.
Gu Qiaoqiao was very familiar with those voices and felt her eyes moistening, almost to the point of tearing up. Those voices belonged to her younger brother and sister.
Especially Qianqian’s voice, the clearest and most melodious.
Gu Qiaoqiao had to close her eyes, trying hard to quell her emerging tears, then once again clenched her hands, while the man beside her remained silent and reticent, yet much like before, keeping a polite distance from her, but always quietly attentive to her emotions.
It wasn’t hard to see that in this world, she and Qin Yize were in love and happy.
Unclear what feelings were stirring in her heart, Gu Qiaoqiao’s brow flashed with determination, without hesitation, she headed towards the direction of the main house.
Naturally, Qin Yize followed suit.
Inside the main house of Gu Garden, in the expansive living room, unaware of the truth, Gu Qianqian and Gu Zishu, along with Chang Qing, were chatting.
Young people naturally had endless things to talk about, so the atmosphere was very lively. Gu Qiaoqiao’s Great Grandma and Lian Yuhong were busy in the kitchen, while Gu Qingfeng and Gu Tianfeng were sipping tea.
Gu Junbai was sitting on the sofa with a serene gaze.
But he nodded slightly a few breaths later towards Gu Qingfeng.
The Old Patriarch knew it was Qin Yize and Qiaoqiao who had arrived.
At this moment, the Old Patriarch’s mood was exceptionally complex.
It was only at this moment did he realize that after obtaining the Mysterious Dragon Box, Qiaoqiao inadvertently unlocked the memories of her past life.
That’s why she possessed the abilities of the Gu Family, after all, she was the Successor by blood of Gu Junbai. Hence at this special moment, her lineage was awakened.
Simply didn’t expect that after so many years of tranquility, the feared occurrence had inevitably happened. Two timespaces strangely overlapped again, allowing the soul from the previous life to return here, so he needed to explain everything accurately to Gu Qiaoqiao.
After all, narrating this matter was most appropriate by him, yet his heart suddenly became nervous. He didn’t know if afterward, this Qiaoqiao would resent him. After all, it took a lot of time to dissolve a trace of Qiaoqiao’s resentment.
He didn’t understand what was going on, why heaven struck such a severe blow at such a happy time for him.
But one thing he knew was, no matter which Qiaoqiao, she was his great-granddaughter, she was the blood of the Gu Family. Thinking of this, his anxious heart gradually calmed down.
And at this time, Gu Junbai suddenly stood up, he turned his back, stood tall and elegant, his eyes swept lightly over the unwitting three young individuals, and said, "Qiaoqiao and Ah Ze are outside the door, let them immediately go to the study once they enter, Great Grandfather and I have matters to discuss with them, absolutely shouldn’t delay."
Afterward, Gu Junbai appeared unhurried but quickly walked to the direction of the study. The Old Patriarch understood Gu Junbai’s intention; he was worried some things might be leaked soon since these three children were still unaware.
Gu Qingfeng’s mind was somewhat muddled as well, but he instinctively stood up and said deeply, "You three, don’t just keep playing, remember this."
Then he too turned and followed them.
But after a few steps, Gu Junbai turned around, looked at the slightly frowning Gu Tianfeng, sighed, and said softly, "You too, come to the study."
Gu Tianfeng had sensed something was amiss for a while, though he was sipping tea and chatting, it was clear his grandfather had something on his mind, and Gu Junbai, while just as calm as usual, still seemed somewhat different, so he hesitated only for a moment before following as well.
At this time, Gu Qianqian, Gu Zishu, and Chang Qing also put away their smiles, not understanding what was happening.
Gu Qianqian curiously looked toward the door, then heard her eldest sister’s choked voice, "Mom, I miss you so much..."
