Chapter 2077: Chapter 2075: Intersecting Time and Space, Transformed Lives (23)
Then she stood at the door and looked across again; no one was knocking. Could it be that she misheard? The knocking sound had long disappeared by now.
Just then, a sound came from downstairs. Could it be downstairs?
But why does it feel like it’s from the door of our own home?
The reason for choosing this place was because, although it’s somewhat secluded, the quality of the buildings is excellent, with good soundproofing conditions, and the surroundings and scenery are nice, conducive to her daughter’s rest—this was also bought by Ah Ze.
They had lived quietly here for several years without ever experiencing such incidents, so Shen Manru had no choice but to close the door again. After all, with no one around, even if she wanted to vent her anger, there was nowhere to do so.
Right then, Gu Qiaoqiao was already standing in front of Qin Xiaoyu’s window. Before Shen Manru could turn around, a Sleeping Talisman hit Qin Xiaoyu.
Qin Xiaoyu fell asleep.
So when Shen Manru entered, she saw her daughter had become very quiet, which initially startled her. But upon opening the covers, she discovered her daughter had actually shut her eyes, causing her heart to thunder with panic. She quickly reached out to touch her, and only then quietly sighed in relief; her daughter was asleep...
She leaned closer to listen to her daughter’s breathing, which was light and rhythmic, proving she was sleeping well. With a bitter smile touching her lips, Shen Manru gently covered her daughter with the blanket before quietly withdrawing, of course leaving the light on.
The room became quiet, Shen Manru wiped the tears from her eyes and continued to clean. This was all she could do now—accompany her daughter, do household chores. Such a life was despairing and suffocating, but she had no choice; she must not only live well but also live long.
Otherwise, what would become of her daughter after she dies?
Even if her son could take care of his sister, how could it compare to a mother’s care, which is so convenient and intimate?
At this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao unexpectedly calmed down; things couldn’t get any worse, yet there appeared infinite possibilities. Since the heavens allowed her to return, they didn’t want this tragic world to continue forward unchanged—it needed some unpredictable change.
Perhaps that’s exactly what the heavens intended.
Gu Qiaoqiao stood at Qin Xiaoyu’s bedside, carefully observing her, discovering her emotions—or rather, her aura was extremely chaotic and very poor. Her facial expression seemed indiscernible.
In the area representing the future, white mist was enveloped by gray mist, and the entire person seemed cloaked in gray gases. Furthermore, an organ in Qin Xiaoyu’s internal body had been injured, affecting her physically, causing her to walk bent over—even though much of this was psychological, her physical injury contributed as well.
Gu Qiaoqiao no longer delayed or hesitated, no matter whether it worked or not; given Qin Xiaoyu’s current state, it couldn’t get any worse. Hence, she applied all the methods she could think of one by one.
Then, Gu Qiaoqiao casually set a Barrier Talisman, blocking out all sound from within the room, and only then did she extend her finger, letting pure Spiritual Energy overflow from its tip.
Gu Qiaoqiao lifted the blanket and placed her finger at the spot where Zishu had initially wounded Qin Xiaoyu. There was a scar, the wound was gruesome and had never completely healed. But when Gu Qiaoqiao’s Spiritual Energy made contact, Qin Xiaoyu seemed to sense something, her eyebrows twitched, and her body, curled up like a shrimp, astonishingly began to slowly unwind.
Gu Qiaoqiao controlled her Spiritual Energy, repairing little by little; given her current abilities, handling such problems was within her capability.
Though somewhat strenuous, it was accomplishable.
After almost ten minutes, Shen Manru, still worried about her daughter, came over again. At the moment she opened the door, Gu Qiaoqiao quickly and skillfully covered the blanket as if it were just like before.
Having walked in to check on her daughter, who was still asleep, Shen Manru felt assured and stepped out again, while Gu Qiaoqiao continued to heal her body. She intended to fix everything in one go—this was easy to tackle, but Qin Xiaoyu’s mental aspect posed some challenges.
After half an hour, Gu Qiaoqiao slowly retracted her hand.
The physical issues with Qin Xiaoyu had been resolved.
Next comes the mental aspect, or one could say, the psychological aspect. Gu Qiaoqiao frowned slightly; this differed from physical healing.
Currently, when it comes to someone like Qin Xiaoyu, she hadn’t yet figured out the best solution.
Gu Qiaoqiao remained invisible; moreover, even if she wasn’t invisible, she couldn’t enter the Qin Family’s door. Not to mention others, just Shen Manru looked at her as if at an enemy.
No matter that Qin Yize told her this was plotted by someone, in Shen Manru’s mind, whether it was schemed did not concern her; she only knew everything was because her son married Gu Qiaoqiao. If it weren’t Gu Qiaoqiao he married, none of this would have happened.
Her mother-in-law wouldn’t have died, the old grandfather wouldn’t have died of depression, the Qin Family business wouldn’t have fallen to the second branch, her daughter would have gone to college and worn a wedding dress, and her son wouldn’t live so miserably.
So, all this was Gu Qiaoqiao’s fault. If Gu Qiaoqiao stood in front of her at this moment, Shen Manru might even kill her.
Gu Qiaoqiao gently let out a breath, a hint of mocking smile at the corner of her lips.
The same people, facing different events, result in different outcomes—this world indeed is too ironic.
Fate, is everything truly destined?
Gu Qiaoqiao slightly clenched the hands dangling by her side; ultimately, perhaps she has to rely on herself.
The lights in the room remained unchanged, outside despite the foggy weather, if the curtains were opened, the room would be bright. However, the curtains are thick, admitting no trace of light, making it exceptionally oppressive.
Gu Qiaoqiao’s brows furrowed involuntarily; actually, such an environment is truly unfavorable for Qin Xiaoyu’s recovery.
She needs a place filled with sunlight, not hiding away in such a dark corner.
Suddenly, Gu Qiaoqiao’s eyes brightened—Hundred Miles of Mountains Map!
At this time, the Hundred Miles of Mountains Map remained in Yubao Square’s secret chamber. Her uncle’s whereabouts were uncertain, but it’s certain that he hadn’t sensed anything wrong with the Gu Family yet, and she had already come back to life. Therefore, her uncle wouldn’t be sealed within the Hundred Miles of Mountains Map.
Thus, the Hundred Miles of Mountains Map was merely a virtual space treasure, which she could open with her finger.
Qin Xiaoyu’s problems couldn’t be solved in one go.
So, Gu Qiaoqiao glanced at the deeply sleeping, slightly smiling Qin Xiaoyu, and turned to leave her bedroom.
Shen Manru wasn’t in the living room; Gu Qiaoqiao turned her head and found she was standing on the balcony since the curtain had been opened, as her daughter was now asleep, so she needed to draw the curtain for some fresh air.
