Chapter 55 Severing Relationship

Gu Qingshi came back today just to move, so there was no need for them to chase him away, and it was even more impossible for him to apologize as Bai Zhen said.

Seeing the incredulous looks of Duan Gang and Duan Lingling, Gu Qingshi chuckled and added, "Not changing my last name is the best decision I have ever made in my life."

When she first married Bai Zhen, Duan Gang wanted her to change her surname to Duan, thinking that this would make her look more respectable.

Gu Qingshi refused. She was her father’s only daughter and she wanted to have the surname Gu.

Even though everyone told her that as a girl it didn't matter what her surname was, and that it would be better to take her stepfather's surname so that her life would be easier, she still didn't change it.

She even doesn't want to call him dad, because her dad is Gu Feng, and this title means a lot to her.

Later, after being beaten and scolded by Bai Zhen and forced to change her words, she only called him dad, and still called him uncle in private.

Duan Gang saw that she was unwilling to change her surname, and even unwilling to call him dad, and only called him dad reluctantly twice, so he ignored her all the time.

Now that Duan Gang mentioned it, Gu Qingshi recalled the past and felt very fortunate.

"We will have nothing to do with each other from now on."

From now on, she no longer had to call her reluctant father, brother, and sister. She had completely severed ties with the Duan family.

"I'm going to pack my things now. If you're worried, just keep an eye on me. Don't blame me for stealing your things later."

Gu Qingshi had wanted to move out for a long time, and now that he had finally done it, he was in an extremely happy mood and said directly.

Duan Lingling and Duan Gang's faces turned pale. This was not what they expected.

They were waiting for Gu Qingshi to beg for mercy, waiting for Gu Qingshi to become anxious and say that he had nowhere to go and let them take him in, instead of like now, smiling and saying that he was also going to move out.

Why should she! Where can she move to? How many things are there that they don't know?

Gu Qingshi ignored their expressions and went back to his room to clean up.

Bai Zhen glanced at the father and daughter, hesitated for a moment, and followed them.

"Qingshi, what's wrong with you? What's going on with your work? What's going on with moving out?"

"What can I do? Just as you wish. After I move out, you can completely get rid of this burden and integrate with them to become a better family. Are you happy?"

"How do you talk to Qingshi?"

Gu Qingshi's face was full of sarcasm, "Am I wrong? Isn't this what you have always thought?"

Bai Zhen was exposed, her face turned pale, "Where are you going to live when you move out? How can you just quit your job without discussing it with me? What are you going to do in the future?"

"Who am I not working for? Why am I discussing this with you? Should I discuss this with Duan Lingling? Don't worry about me anymore. I won't come looking for you again. Just pretend you never gave birth to a daughter like me."

As for where to go, Gu Qingshi thought, she could go wherever she wanted in the future, the sky was high and the sea was vast for her to fly.

Gu Qingshi had already put the important things in the space, so it was actually very quick to pack up, as it was just a small bag.

A lot can be seen in the moving luggage. The more things there are, the more ties there are; the fewer things there are, the weaker the feelings are.

Gu Qingshi’s small bag is a good example of this.

Duan Gang and Duan Lingling watched Gu Qingshi leave with dark faces. Bai Zhen followed him out worriedly, "Qingshi, you..."

"Don't chase me anymore. Take care of yourself in the future."

Don't bother her anymore, and don't harm her by claiming to be her biological mother.

Duan Zhen watched Gu Qingshi leave with the small package, feeling lost and even a hint of panic spreading in his heart.

It seemed as if Gu Qingshi, her biological daughter, was about to completely walk out of her world and her life. When Gu Qingshi left, Bai Zhen felt the blood connection for the first time in a long time.

She stood there and watched Gu Qingshi for a long time without moving, but Gu Qingshi did not even turn his head back.

After meeting Bai Yang, Gu Qingshi went directly to the county town.

In a somewhat remote street in the county town, in the last shop at the end of the street, this is the shop that Gu Qingshi rented today.

She and Bai Yang did not set up a stall today, and were busy with store business.

She had seen this shop before, but she didn't have enough money before. But this time, because of the job change, she had enough money, so Gu Qingshi directly signed a five-year contract.

Although the shop is not located on a busy street and is a bit remote, it is not small. Its previous business was also a restaurant, so it has a kitchen and does not require major renovations, which can save a lot of money.

Another advantage of this shop is that it is connected to a residential building at the back.

Although the house was a bit old, it really solved Gu Qingshi and Bai Yang's urgent problem.

They can live in the house at the back, which is convenient for opening a shop and doing business, and can also be used as a warehouse.

The shop rent is not cheap, and the house behind it is also a reason. Now that we have rented it, all the problems have been solved.

"Qingshi, have we really rented this shop?"

After Bai Yang came in and turned on the lights, he still felt dizzy and unreal looking at the shop.

How long did it take? When he was setting up the stall, Gu Qingshi said he wanted to open a shop. He thought it was too early, but he rented it the next moment.

He had never dared to think of such a thing before. After all, in his world, setting up a stall on the street was already a big deal, let alone renting a shop to do business.

"Brother, you have said this two or three times. The key is in your hand."

Gu Qingshi was actually happy too, "Brother, if you feel this is unreal, you might not be able to sleep at night. How about we start cleaning?"

"Okay!" Bai Yang agreed happily.

It's impossible to fall asleep tonight. I'm definitely too excited.

Instead of tossing and turning in excitement and unable to sleep, it is better to turn the excitement into labor.

Gu Qingshi and Bai Yang got to work right away. They rolled up their sleeves and began to clean and arrange things. After cleaning the front room, they cleaned and arranged the rooms at the back as well.

While working, they also discussed business matters. Gu Qingshi wrote them down in time and prepared to prepare them at dawn.

I was busy for three or four hours, and after finishing cleaning, I was finally tired and fell down and never got up again.

There are still many things that need to be prepared in preparation for opening a store, including the most basic bowls, chopsticks, tables and chairs, as well as seasonings, dishes and meat that all need to be ordered.

Before, Gu Qingshi mostly grew vegetables and didn’t grow many seasonings, as he had to buy a lot of them. He had chickens, ducks, and fish, but he didn’t raise pigs in the space.

While I was busy, my uncle came.

After I rented a house yesterday, I brought a letter to Bai Zhong. My uncle came after staying up all night, "What's going on? Aren't you working at the hospital? Why did you suddenly rent a shop to do business?"

Bai Zhong was just waiting for Gu Qingshi to start working, so that he could finally succeed in his life.

Although the street stall business is good, the older generation still believes that a stable job is better.

It can be guaranteed for a lifetime, with good benefits, and you will get a pension when you retire, so you don’t have to worry about your life. But if you set up a stall, you don’t know what kind of situation you will encounter, and it is unstable.

How could Bai Zhong not be anxious when he saw that the person who was supposed to go to work suddenly rented a shop to do business?

Gu Qingshi briefly explained the situation to Bai Zhong. When Bai Zhong heard what Bai Zhen and the Duan family had done, he was almost furious and got up to find them to fight them.

Gu Qingshi held her back and coaxed her for a long time before she calmed down. "Uncle, this is a decision I made after considering it for a long time."
