Chapter 180 Youth Travel

Inexplicably… none of the parents of the three families stopped their children from running around for their friends on the night of New Year’s Eve.

Hearing that her younger brother and his friends were going to another province overnight, but no one was driving, Qu Ziyao became even more excited.

“I’ll drive, I’ll drive, I have a driver’s license.”

However, her enthusiasm was severely suppressed by Jiang Yun, “From the time you passed the driver’s license test to the time you went abroad, how many times have you driven a car? Take a break! Why not let your dad drive?”

Qu Zizhou was amused when he heard it, “How is my dad, who came back from Guinea, better than my sister, who came back from England?”

“Nothing, I’ll drive.” Jiang Yun thought, her husband didn’t drive a car when he was abroad, and his skills might not be as good as hers.

But in the end, Jiang Yun was not asked to drive the car. Gu Junxing was worried about his half-grown children taking a taxi or asking for a designated driver to drive across provinces, so he asked Gao Feng, the family driver, to take them there.

Gu Junxing felt embarrassed to ask someone to work on New Year's Eve when the family was reunited, so he gave him a very generous salary, which was more than what he had paid in a month before.

Gao Feng was having New Year's Eve dinner with his wife and parents at home. After hearing what Gu Junxing said, his coat was thrown into his hands a few seconds later. The family did not hesitate at all.

"Hurry up and don't let your boss wait anxiously."

Qu Zizhou's family and Chu Mingyan's family were relieved to hear that Gu Junxing had found a driver to take them there. Chu Mingyan's mother even drove her son to Gu's house first.

Before Chu Mingyan got off the car, Chu's mother handed a bag to her son, "I don't know if they have any money or enough clothes. There are two down jackets and a few bottles of water in the bag. Mom also gave you some cash."

Time was tight, and she didn't have time to prepare more things.

She thanked the adults in the Gu family and drove back home.

Zhang's mother quickly took a few thermos buckets and filled them with dumplings, hot dishes and soup so that they could eat if they were hungry on the way.

Butler Su was even more worried and wanted to go with them, but was persuaded by Gu Junxing.

Gu Junxing told housekeeper Su: "Let the children do their own things."

The three children themselves were excited and excited about this unknown journey.

Before they set off, Niansheng An told Gu Zhijing: "Remember to tell your family when you get there."

He also told them to find a hotel in the city to rest for a night before returning after picking up the people, otherwise the driver would be tired driving alone.

Watching the car go away, Gu Zhijing's grandmother, Ms. Ye Wenru, smiled and sighed: "Our Zhijing has really grown up."

Today they drove a seven-seater SUV. The three of them sat in the last row, and the two middle seats were left empty for Qi Anlu and his mother.

After getting on the highway, the three of them remembered that they had to ask Qi Anlu where he was now. They only knew which city Qi Anlu's hometown was in, but they didn't know the exact location.

"Just call him directly." Gu Zhijing asked Qu Zizhou, who was sitting in the middle, to make a video call to Qi Anlu.

At this moment, Qi Anlu was eating dumplings at Aunt Xiaowen's house. He felt that the relationship between his mother and Aunt Xiaowen was a little strange.

He thought that Aunt Xiaowen should be his mother's good friend, but after entering, she didn't seem to be very enthusiastic, but looked indifferent.

It seems that she doesn't welcome them, mother and son. As soon as they came in, the aunt poured hot water for them and went to the kitchen to cook a big plate of dumplings for each of them.

When they received the call from their friends, the three of them were eating dumplings in silence. The only sound in the living room was the Spring Festival Gala on TV.

This was not his home, and Qi Anlu was embarrassed to walk around, so he had to answer the video in the living room.

Qi Anlu saw that as soon as he picked up the phone, Aunt Xiaowen turned down the TV volume.

"Qi Anlu, where are you? Guess where we are?" Qu Zizhou held up his phone high so that the faces of the three people appeared in the camera.

Qi Anlu saw the three of them together, and the background looked like they were in a car. He had a bold guess in his mind, but he felt it was unlikely.

"Send your current address, we are here to find you." Gu Zhijing said while looking at the camera.

"Come to find me?! I'm safe now. Don't you have to celebrate the New Year today? Hurry back."

"I can't go back. I'm on the highway. You'd better send us your address."

"Okay, I'll send it to you right away. Be careful when you come."

After hanging up the phone, Qi Anlu told Zhou Xinfang that his friends came here to find him and pick them up.

"Your son is much better than you." Aunt Xiaowen suddenly said this. Qi Anlu didn't understand what she meant, but Zhou Xinfang lowered her head when she heard this.

"Anlu, give me your phone, I'll send them the address. The middle school in town is not far from here, so they can use navigation to locate it when they come."

Qi Anlu obediently handed over the phone.

"Okay, you guys can continue eating."

It takes five or six hours to drive here from Jinjiang on the highway.

After dinner, Aunt Xiaowen brought two quilts, "I don't have any extra rooms for you to sleep in, so you can just sleep on the sofa tonight."

But neither Qi Anlu nor Zhou Xinfang felt sleepy. Qi Anlu was thinking about his life with his mother after returning home, and thinking about his friends who were coming towards him from afar.

Zhou Xinfang received a message from her sister, saying that their mother went to the Qi family and asked them not to divorce her, but was driven out by the Qi family. Her father and brother were looking for her outside.

[If you have made up your mind, hide yourself and don't let them find you.]

The Zhou family began to look for them in the town. They didn't think that the mother and son would leave overnight.

They did go to the only hotel in the town, but didn't find them.

At home, Zhou's mother was so angry that she cursed her daughter for not knowing what was good for her.

"It's a blessing for Zhou Xinfang to marry Qi Wenhan. It's really shameful that she wants to divorce her son when he's already grown up."

"Qiaofang, do you know where your sister will go?"

Zhou Qiaofang married locally and was called back by her mother after this incident. In her mother's eyes, her daughter, who was so powerless that she could not even do a fart, actually dared to file for divorce with her professor son-in-law. This was a huge event for the Zhou family.

Zhou Qiaofang had a vague answer in her mind, but...

"How should I know where to go? I'll go home if nothing happens. The child will cry if I'm not at home."

Sure enough, hearing this, Zhou's mother got angry again, "What's the use of you! Get out of here."

Zhou Qiaofang was not angry, and went straight out and went home.

The Zhou family searched for a long time, and went to the homes of relatives in the town, but they all said that they didn't see anyone.

It was dark and cold outside, and they were too lazy to look for it, so they just went home.

After returning home, Zhou's father said to his wife: "Maybe the person has already left, what are you still looking for?"

"This damn girl, she came home without saying a word, and she actually dared to divorce!"
