Su Peipei frowned; this was different from what she had imagined.
Before Liu Cuihua could say anything more, she was pulled back by her mother. "Mom, let's listen to them. Come on, let's go inside."
Arguing at the main gate is not a good thing.
Su Peipei was very perceptive. She didn't understand what had happened that made the family, who were originally very anxious to find their daughter, suddenly slow down. They could only wait and see what happened before making any further plans.
Gu Tingjiang silently observed her handling of the situation and inwardly admired her; this girl was a composed and patient person.
He has already sent people to inquire about her in the southern part of the city. Let's wait for the news to come back before making any further decisions.
And so, Su Peipei and Liu Cuihua stayed at the guesthouse for three days.
With the help of Gu Tingjiang's people in the southern city, who worked tirelessly to find out more about Su Peipei's life, Gu Tingjiang finally managed to get a fairly complete picture of her life.
When he saw Su Xiaoxiao's name on the thick stack of documents, his already furrowed brows tightened even more.
Su Peipei and Su Xiaoxiao are actually cousins.
Gu Tingjiang picked up the documents and immediately rushed to the Qin family.
Recently, Mr. Qin has been under pressure from Mrs. Qin, and his working hours have been repeatedly compressed. He is now leisurely drinking fragrant tea and reading the newspaper.
Hearing that Gu Tingjiang was coming, he immediately perked up.
"Quick, is there any news?" Old Master Qin threw down the newspaper and looked at the file bag in Gu Tingjiang's hand.
"Dad." Gu Tingjiang came to the living room and immediately looked for Qin Yumei, but unfortunately he didn't see her.
"Don't bother looking anymore, she went to school." Old Master Qin knew what he was thinking and gave him the answer directly, so as not to make him anxious.
"School?" Gu Tingjiang asked in surprise.
"Hmm, Kyoto Medical School." Old Master Qin took the file folder from Gu Tingjiang's hand and began to read it himself.
Gu Tingjiang's thoughts were still on Qin Yumei. "Did she go to see Xiaoxiao? Then...did they meet?"
While glancing at the documents in his hand, Old Master Qin replied casually, "We didn't meet. Yu Mei only looked at her from afar; she didn't dare to approach. Sigh..."
Old Master Qin knew what his daughter was thinking. She was afraid that her daughter would not recognize her, so she only dared to visit her secretly.
Gu Tingjiang also recalled his conversation with Su Xiaoxiao that day, and his heart tightened.
Actually, he was also a little unsure how to get along with her; that girl was clear-headed and determined.
After reviewing the information, Old Master Qin frowned slightly. "This Su Peipei is no simple character. She was sentenced to six years of labor reform, but she'll be out in less than a year. Should we have someone investigate what she did on the farm? Never mind, I'll have someone investigate."
Gu Tingjiang readily agreed. He knew that sending someone to the farm to investigate wouldn't be as fast or accurate as having the old man investigate personally.
"Has she been behaving herself these past few days?" Old Master Qin asked Gu Tingjiang.
Gu Tingjiang said, "I was quite well-behaved on the first day, staying in the guesthouse and not going out. On the second day, I went out and visited several tourist attractions. Today, I went out to explore the old hutongs, streets and alleys, and markets, without stopping for a moment."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Qin lowered his eyes and stared at the documents on the table. After a long while, he said, "Never mind her. Have you seen her jade pendant?"
Old Master Qin had a rough idea of what Su Peipei was doing, but he remained noncommittal.
However, there was another piece of evidence that made him think twice: "Did you see that jade pendant?"
The jade pendant was also something Gu Tingjiang cared about. He shook his head and said, "No. I asked her in the car, and she said the jade pendant was the only keepsake left to her by her biological parents, and she has always kept it as a family heirloom."
